Is it just me or does the whole “wake up with the King” promos for Burger King creep anyone else out? From the very first one to finding a guy with a papermache head on in your bed to him standing outside your door with a 760 calorie breakfast sandwich that would choke a lumberjack, the whole thing is just weirding me out – and this is coming from a guy who has “got” Monty Python since he was ten and can quote sketches at the drop of a hat. I just don’t get it – maybe i’m getting old or just not getting it is the point. In that case, it works.
If you haven’t seen it, check it out.
Alas, my friend, I find the Burger King disturbing to the point of obnoxiousness (at least that’s what my wife tells me everytime I have to comment on those commercials). I think it is intimidating when you run into someone who’s head is abnormally larger than yours, much less, have it show up at your bedside. Almost reminiscent of the “horse’s head” scene from the Godfather film.
Ooh, now what if we did that to the Burger King in his bed? Heh Heh Heh.
How about the new Quaker Oats Guy commercial? same type of look!

I missed that. Where can I find that?
By the way, let’s not forget the little bowtied oldster mascot of Six Flags! My 3rd grader thinks he’s creepy too.
