Wild and Crazy King
Burger King has UrHo all in a tizzy. Mike wrote about their new breakfast monstrosity on Digest. I'm freaking out about their bizarro ads.
First....
They bring back this weird creepy awesome dude from the 70s, which I was pretty into.
Then...
They have this guy all dressed up and singing "Big Rock Candy Mountain" with lyrics about the Bacon Chedder thingy jib and this amazing fantasy ranch. Pretty rad ad.
My only point being....McDude's or other fast good dudes would never do ads like these.
I wonder if will work for BK?
That guy is totally Hootie (Darius Rucker), as pointed out by my roommate, Pete.
BK>other fast food.
I totally knew. I thought everyone knew.
I meant "This guy." Like can you believe "this guy" is doing this.
I need to be more clear
I figured.
I still think Jack In The Box has the best fast food ads, although I would argue that their food tastes the worst.
unrelated, left you message last night steve actually would mind trying to catch you this week
are you overlooking the subtle racism in the bk spots and what the peta people think is more blatant naive outlooks on food production?
i am completely overlooking the peta people.
it is a valid topic, but i'm thinking of this in advertising terms only.
what is this subtle racism you refer to??
please explain.
I should point out that the original plan was to have Dolly Pardon as the singing cowgirl, but she wasn't in.
I remember that Burger King dude. He is creepy and also brilliant. Andrew and I were just talking about how BK is so much more legit than other fast food chains. We based this solely on the fact that they have the BK Veggie.
