This commercial ALMOST rivals their series of office-related spots. Almost.

tender crisp bacon cheddar ranch
bacon ranch dressing that flows up to your knees
tumbleweeds of bacon
cheddar paves the streets
red onions make you weep
french fries grow like weeds

It is an excellent spot. But obviously a rip-off on those Morgan Fairchild "Old Navy" commercials.

Brooke Burke: "Come annnnn get it!"

Genius.

― PB, Monday, 7 March 2005 18:37 (nineteen years ago) link

it could use more ranch but I still enjoyed it a lot

― miccio (miccio), Monday, 7 March 2005 18:40 (nineteen years ago) link

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Monday, 7 March 2005 18:55 (nineteen years ago) link

the burger king killed his momma

― j blount (papa la bas), Monday, 7 March 2005 19:07 (nineteen years ago) link

isn't there another burger king ad where some dude wakes up with the burger king in his bed and it's very awkward, there's this definite "did we have sex?" vibe hanging in the air?

― j blount (papa la bas), Monday, 7 March 2005 19:10 (nineteen years ago) link

yes, it is so fucking hilarious. the burger king touches his leg and it gets all awkward.

― cutty (mcutt), Monday, 7 March 2005 19:11 (nineteen years ago) link

(btw mark i had no idea you worked there!)

i love this commercial, but i didnt recognize that it was hootie.

there is another commercial "where some dude wakes up with the burger king in his bed and it's very awkward, there's this definite "did we have sex?" vibe hanging in the air?"

is it online? ive got to see this.

― AaronK (AaronK), Monday, 7 March 2005 19:18 (nineteen years ago) link

mark just posted it right above you.

― cutty (mcutt), Monday, 7 March 2005 19:20 (nineteen years ago) link

I will never tire of the "I'd hit it" ad. We're a few months from "Taco Bell? Stick it on my dick!"

― miccio (miccio), Monday, 7 March 2005 19:21 (nineteen years ago) link

haha jon w posted a great parody of it that was basically the same banner ad as above, identical font etc, only the text was 'double cheese burger? i'd go down on them meatflaps'.

― j blount (papa la bas), Monday, 7 March 2005 19:24 (nineteen years ago) link

Hahahahaha

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 7 March 2005 19:25 (nineteen years ago) link

god i luv that 'wake up with the king' ad

― j blount (papa la bas), Monday, 7 March 2005 19:29 (nineteen years ago) link

i went through a spell where i watched it four times a day. this was before dog judo, mind.

― mark p (Mark P), Monday, 7 March 2005 19:30 (nineteen years ago) link

Dog judo?

i didn't like these commercials

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Monday, 7 March 2005 19:52 (nineteen years ago) link

typical.

― cutty (mcutt), Monday, 7 March 2005 20:02 (nineteen years ago) link

xpost Anthony, I don't think he's "serving it to us,": neither re the girls, they're just showing you how good it can be, how to do it, provinding An Example To Others, as my church youth group leaders would say. Darius is the MC, and providing a little mmod music, a little travelin' music for the hungry Miccio et al, and for the food about to travel down the ol Alimentary Canal. (OK: he's a misntrel too, but in the classical at east as much if not more than the nasty recent sense)(we're all hos in some sense or other, or I am)

― don, Monday, 7 March 2005 22:26 (nineteen years ago) link

I think the uproar amongst the dedicated remaining Hootie fans is the funniest part of all of this!

― donut debonair (donut), Monday, 7 March 2005 22:42 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm sure Burger King is worried about lost sales from the inevitable boycott!

oh man, those were terrible.

― Al (sitcom), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 00:21 (nineteen years ago) link

it was like watching clips from dress rehearsals for a bad NBC sitcom.

― Al (sitcom), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 00:22 (nineteen years ago) link

al otfm

― latebloomer: correspondingly more exaggerated mixing is a scarifying error. (lat, Tuesday, 8 March 2005 00:40 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah, I hated those. I also hate those smug IBM spots.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 00:41 (nineteen years ago) link

Which seem to be filmed in the same circle of hell.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 00:41 (nineteen years ago) link

wait are the ibm ones the ones with the monkeys and the guy says 'i work with a bunch of monkeys'? i luv those!

― j blount (papa la bas), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 00:43 (nineteen years ago) link

No, that's for a jobs website I think.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 00:44 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm thinking of the ones letterboxed in dark blue that for instance feature smug a*sholes sitting at a Parisian cafe talking about business. Awful.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 00:47 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah those people need to die a painful death.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 01:03 (nineteen years ago) link

i dunno, if found these bk commercials too camp -- not genuinely strange enough.

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 01:40 (nineteen years ago) link

i just watched jan svankmeyers "faust" and the burger king character looks a bit like one of the creepy large marionette figures from the film.

― eman (eman), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 03:18 (nineteen years ago) link

i don't even know what these commercials are all about

― Darius Rucker Lookalike (deangulberry), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 03:20 (nineteen years ago) link

As for pure weirdness, BK has nothing on the Quizno's Subs ads of last year, with the singing amoeba-like critters extolling the virtues of the pepper bar.

― cdwill, Tuesday, 8 March 2005 03:26 (nineteen years ago) link

i still think that virgin mobile ad with the hair sandwich was the highwater mark of contemporary tv ad creativity.

dean, you're getting the line wrong!
