Anyone else creeped out by the king?

I haven't seen this particular commercial, but I have seen others. I think their "King" is the most disgusting unappealing mascot a chain could have. I mean what were they thinking and how has it lasted this long? He would give little kids nightmares. Now have you seen the Jack in the Box commercials. I don't mind Jack nearly as much - weird humor that I occasionally think is funny.

I'm with you. I actually prefer burger king to mcdonalds, but those commercials annoy & creep me out. Have you seen the one that's a spin on morning wood? I think it was "morning tongue" or something equally disturbing. The guy is walking around with his tongue sticking out, under a turtle neck because he needs hash browns or something. Do we really want to equate breakfast with that???

you know i really never thought of it, but that sh*t is kind of creepy, he never talks just kind of stares at you and stuff. thanks for pointing that out inked, now i am totally creeped out

I agree. I have always been kinda creeped out fromthose commercials. Some are kind of funny, but in general just a bit much.

Yes, my roomie and I are both disgusted by what is going on with the current commercials. Cheetos, Twix, Skittles and such. The activities and hidden motives behind this subliminal messaging not only to us but to our children. Glad you noticed it too. Aingealicia

Yes!!!!!!!! I think it's the creepiest thing they have EVER done! He's like a perve or something! Like, murdering clowns!!! This was probably the WORST thing Burger King could have done. By the way, I haven't eaten there since!

I never really thought about it actually until I stumbled upon this discussion. I don't know the commercial your referring to about the robot but I've seen the ones where they wake up with him in bed, it would be freaky to have that happen for sure.

Burger King's Whopper is the best burger out there! But I have not seen these commercials. I don't watch much tv and when I do I mute the commercials anyway!

It is pretty creepy.

Yep! I have been creeped out by him ever since I saw the first commercial with him in it. I don't like him standing far away, then suddenly his in your face! Or when he's standing outside the window looking in. Personally, I would never take anything he handed me... let alone EAT it!!!

I hate the king, and this is one more reason to eat at McDonald's instead. I have not seen that commercial, but I remember reading about it. I believe they may not be showing it anymore, though I don't watch much TV, so I might just have missed it.

I am super creeped out by the king! The worst commercial of him was when he was as big as Godzilla and was staring into an apartment window.

Ewww..i've actually not seen that new commercial but i too have been grossed out by their other commercials. The king is made out to be a stalker & a perv if u ask me. I think they are ignorant commercials.

LOL Inked! Yea that dude is super creepy. I could just imagine waking up with that guy standing beside my bed, I would not even care about the food, I would freak out.

very much so. It is creepy that he wakes people up and they dont scream and run! I think it is very creepy. I agree!!

I totally agree. That king is the weirdest thing since some of the charaters from McDonald's a long time ago, like Grinace. I wouldn't want to be caught on a dark street with that king. I can almost imagine his bad side.

Hahahahaha i guess i never looked at it that way. and yes now that i have EWWW! But i love burger kings bk joe yuummmmm. t hat and a sausage egg and cheese. i work right next door so its either eat what we serve or there... i havent seen a bk commercial in forever!.lol

Those commercials have always bothered me. I havent seen the one you are referring to yet...now i know of it I'm kind of hoping not to see it.

LOL..I had to laugh because I have thought the same thing...He is just creepy and I don't know why that women would want his wierd hands anywhere near her..Always smiling so creepy and lurking around...What does all this have to do with making good sandwiches....Yes it turned me off about he is good with his fingers after handing her husband a sandwich...lol..No thank you Burger King!

Oy! I thought I was the only one! LOL! I've never understood, either, why they fixed up a silly STATUE, when a real person dressed as the King could've played the part much better, oh, & Heaven FORBID some bit-playing actor would be able to make a living, right? As for showing up in strange places, that's SOP for commercials *Check your baCK -- mR. cLEAN MAY BE STANDING THERE....lol!). But I'm more creeped out by the weird way that woman (in the futuristic one) says, in a sly & sultry way, "He's _very_ good with his fingers." And I'm left to try to erase an unbidden image of this huge clockwork man USING his fingers in such a way as to elicit such behaviour on her part! Euuuw??? Just my tuppence. Maggiepie
