I gotta agree with most posters that BK King guy is so creepy, and now they have that guy with the tiny hands ... ewwww, could they pick a creepier group to pitch for the company?

On a side note, it is great markenting on their part because they've managed to have us discussing their company for 11+ pages on an internet forum

I vote creepy too.

Does anyone remember the Quizno's ads in which people stuffed money in their mouth? That made me gag.

There was a commercial with a guy with a huge mouth or he could unhinge his jaw to eat. Who did that one? BK commercials have all been either retarded or creepy or just messed up. I won't eat there just based on their crappy commericials.

Not as creepy as the talking Big Boy statue...... have you seen those commercials? I swear, that voice makes Big Boy sound like a pedophile in training. Don't think I can eat there any more ,...... and I love their patty melts....... ewwwww, even that sounds creepy now.

Agreed, creepy. Although the "wake up with the King" ones I think were creepier to me than some of the newer ones, which are more like strange or goofy. (The idea of a man or woman waking up to find themselves in bed with a man in a dead-eyed mask sounds like fodder for an episode of Criminal Minds. I admit when it's a man waking up with the King it struck me as creepier, maybe that's homophobic of me) The newest ones just seem to be him fleeing from some kind of king-catcher. You don't have to stare as long at that weird plastic face, which is an improvement.

No, I think the BK guy is creepy and their marketing people were just too stupid to realize it.

And what' creepy about Ronald? Just an fairly ordinary looking clown.

I suspect green tentacles sorta like those Alec Baldwin commercials.

No can't say I have.

But I did grow annoyed with TV with such increasing frequency that I watched less and less until finally I just stopped my cable subscription and rarely miss it. The shows are increasingly pure crapola and the ads more and more annoying/obnoxious. When they started flitting them across the screen DURING a show, that's when I knew it was time to do almost anything else.
