Burger King’s Weird, Wild Ad

There’s a bit of discussion out there regarding Burger King’s new ad, but no one seems to know what to make of it. Personally, I love it, and I’ll tell you why….

The commercial is a riot! And anytime you can be on TV with Brooke Burke and Vida Guerra and get this kind of buzz…

I’d have done it for free :-)

see? I was just waiting for someone to tell me how that tasted, and there you go, writing a review. okay, so i’m a few posts late.

all i can say is that using sex to sell burgers is sad, and even though I can’t blame Darius Rucker for it (they would have gotten someone else), Burger King ought to be ashamed.

congratulations, Gil, for bringing this commercial to your class. admittedly, i missed the Hip-Hop lampooning (care to share? seriously, i’d like to know), but everything else was certainly spot-on, and i really hope you’re right about Mr. Rucker making fun of himself, since everyone else is now…

Gil – Wow, you’re going to show the commercial in your class. That’s cool, but not as cool as when my American Studies professor showed Japanese softcore porn in class. Those were good times. Good times.

Come on people, I LOVE THIS COMMERCIAL!
I’m a professor of communications at a major Southern California university and I plan to show this in my introduction to mass media course.
Burger King’s spot is hilarious in its sarcasm, random sexual imagery and lampooning of country, hip-hop, popular culture and advertising itself.
The lyrics are so dryly funny (how can anyone seriously take these lyrics which sardonically promise bliss by eating this crap?) and set to a catchy tune, you can’t help but remember it. Hell, I hardly eat fast food and this makes me wanna try the damn sandwich. And as for Darius Rucker, can’t you tell from his cheesy, wink-wink smile and that he’s in on the joke as he lip-syncs the lyrics for the camera? Let’s face it, Hootie and the Blowfish completely sucked, as they were the blandest rock band in the history of the genre and their success was a complete fluke. Now that they’ve had their 15 minutes of fame, Darius is good-naturedly making fun of himself. Brilliant ad.
One of the best I’ve seen in years.

Scott – You’re right it’s just a commercial and not the end of the world, but if it was Clay Aiken instead of Darius Rucker, then it would be the end of the world.

Oskar – Go download the video. Rip the audio. Convert it to an MP3. Load it onto your phone and there you go!

Jeff J – People either love or hate this blog too. As for the “F” word, I don’t hear it, but when I listen to Eminem at the same time, then I hear it. ;-)

I was so impressed with this commercial I had to Google it to find out how it is doing. People either love it or hate it. I love it. I even went to BK for the first time in years and tried one. I Tivo’d the commercial to nail down all the lyrics and I still think the “F” word is lurking in the last verse. Any comments on that?

A-Dub – If you keep buying it, the commercial gods will keep playing it.

schmims – I thought he was gay and sang about dudes, “I Only Wanna Be With Dudes.” ;-)

I always thought Hootie was a racist who sung about Jews. “I Only Wanna be a Jew” and “I’ve gotta hand for a Jew. I wanna run with a Jew.” I could keep going…
