Brooke Burke and the Burger King dude
This has to be the weirdest marketing ploy from Burger King yet. The pictures have already been circulating the net, but this is the first time I've seen actual video. If they really want to start some buzz, they need to fake a sex video between the two. And by "fake" I mean make a real one. With very graphic nudity. Of Brooke, not the Burger King dude.
One more clip after the jump.

Wow. I really don't know what to say. I'm not sure if this is weirder than http://www.subservientchicken.com/ because I thought that would be impossible.

Wow I had forgotten all about the "subservient chicken". If this is Burger King's idea of a great Super Bowl commercial I think they better go back to the drawing board. Nothing beats the Carl's Jr. commercial with the hot chick on the mechanical bull eating a burger!

That BK King character thing kinda weirds me out. A lot.

Fast food outlets compete for the dollars of teenagers, minorities and white trash -- in other words, people who by and large don't know any better than to eat this crap.
This one is obviously for the teenagers.
"Look, it's so edgy and surreal for the young folks." Madison Avenue has co-opted and domesticated surrealism, just like it has co-opted and domesticated every other formerly-interesting thing on the planet.

I'm going to dress up like that for halloween.
Although, do you think I can cut the weight and grow the boobs? I've already got the bikini, kekekeke.

Mush, I'm right there with you. Buddy creeps me out to no end.

Does anyone actually believe that Brooke Burke eats at Burger King??? I mean, look at her. Fast food is clearly not a part of her diet. Burger King should've thought this one through a little more....
9. Posted by Larry on January 19, 2006 04:53 PM
Well, of course not. Neither does the guy in the King suit.
First of all, he can't put food in his mouth with that huge mock-head on.
Second of all, he's probably some gay Jewish actor doing it until he gets a part on a soap, or on "CSI: St. Paul." Big sloppy dripping burger? I don't think so.

Burger King is known as a tough client, switching agencies with ferocity. Their current agency, the one that concepted The King spots, is Crispin Porter and Bogusky, quite possibly the finest ad shop in the country. They are headquartered in Miami, not on Madison Avenue. And its cliche, but by creating controversy, opinions and reactions, this campaign has already been remarkably successful.

"They are headquartered in Miami, not on Madison Avenue."
Oh, good for you, honey, you got your little fact in. Here's a cookie.
Meanwhile, "Madison Avenue" is, of course, short-hand for the American advertising industry.

Well that explains it - I just checked out Crispin Porter + Bogusky's web site...they came up with the subservient chicken as well.

I totally agree that the bk guy is scary as hell. Kinda how clowns and michael jackson are scary to little kids
15. Posted by Dzchordant on January 19, 2006 05:36 PM
I got the same feeling looking at this as I did when I first saw, that weird rat/monkey thing in the Quiznos ad. Didn't know whether to laugh, cry or vomit. (Can't "what" look "the" away "@#$%" *Shudder* Please! Somebody make it stop): {
But ERlynx is right. An ad like that no matter how surreal/disturbing & inane is buzzworthy.
16. Posted by trapmuzik on January 19, 2006 05:40 PM
Im hoping the final release is her getting stuffed by a double whopper. And by whopper I mean two BK guys performing their rendition of a DP with their manhoods. Have it your way Brooke.

And congrats to Larry for his snarky yet completely useless commentary/attack on ERLynx.
Bravo.

blah. that was totally boring. whats the buzz/fuss/controversy? I dont get it.
And nice KoolAidMan, agree with your comment.
20. Posted by finny_minky on January 19, 2006 06:41 PM
well i think the video would have been more believable if the King weren't in all his royal garb. seriously, who hangs out on a beach with Brooke Burke in leotards and a cape?
21. Posted by HollyJ on January 19, 2006 06:46 PM
WHY? WHY? WHY?
22. Posted by SuperSpence on January 19, 2006 07:00 PM
Damn, that Brooke Burke is hot. I'd have sex with that Burger King guy if that is what it took to get me some Brooke Burke. Actually, I'd go even further than that: I'd eat at Burger King if that is what it took to get me some Brooke Burke. Of course, the food would kill me, but hopefully I'd live long enough to see my Brooke Burke sex tape distributed on the internet.
23. Posted by ESQ on January 19, 2006 07:36 PM
Christ! I hate looking at that Burger King dude. He is scary to look at then clowns. When I say clowns, I mean the John Wayne Gacy kind. What is a hottie like Brooke Burke doing in a commercial for Burger King anyway? Does the woman look like she eats Burger King? If Brooke is hard-up for work tell her to knock on Hugh Hefner's door as I heard Paris Hilton does not want to do Playboy, she eats Carl Jr's anyway.

Okay, I almost wet myself when I made the subservient chicken scratch its ass. Good times.

You mean someone was actually PAID big $$$ to shoot that pathetic, out-of-focus, bizarre video of Brooke and the Burger King guy? [Note to self: Switch your career path ... it's not too late!]
26. Posted by Sheva on January 19, 2006 09:10 PM
I love the Burger King dude. The first commercial was the best when he gets the interception runs into the end zone and then does the little dance.
That was super cool. Even if I don't have a Burger King near me, I still dig that whole retro thing they did with the commercial.
Now it's a staple and the others are not as entertaining but is anything as stupid as the Pepsi machine wide receiver? That is just plain awful.
Brook, oh-vey, she looks simply stellar.
27. Posted by mangos on January 19, 2006 10:38 PM
The Burger King guy is scary, I'm glad I dont like their food, because the commercials are enough to turn me off of it.
28. Posted by Shaun on January 19, 2006 11:34 PM
I bet that BK costume dude had a phat chubby under all the clothing thinking of Brooke Burke nakked on the beach.
29. Posted by Brian on January 20, 2006 12:07 AM
Seriously, what a creep.
The Burger King guy kind of weirds me out, too.
30. Posted by maiira on January 20, 2006 02:56 AM
I've always been of the opinion that the King is fucking creepy. Especially the first commercial he was in...y'know, the one where some guy wakes up with the king's face next to him? That advert seriously gave me chills.

I must be missing some essential little clip-playing software on my machine. Dammit, I'm missing all the fun! (Not that I know or care who this Brooke bird is).

Wow... I watched this vid about 3 hours ago, then went to bed.. This BurgerKing Thing has me so creeped out I cant sleep... ugh!

Fucking English Royalty get all the breaks. First Prince Charles got to bone that Princess Di chick, then he moved on to that fox Camilla, now King BK gets to fuck Brooke Burke. Rumor has it that Prince Charles's son, Henry, has impregnated Grimace. I can only dream of humping a fast food icon. I wonder what the Jack-in-the-Box guy is doing for Valentine's....
34. Posted by Smackage on January 20, 2006 09:24 AM
That's pretty sick. Put her in a video with Collin Farell, then and only then will I watch.
35. Posted by eastboundanddown on January 20, 2006 10:52 AM
Hopefully this should spice up the comments; I know someone who worked crew on a BK commercial. The person inside the Burger King costume is actually a woman. She was also a UCLA cheerleader.
36. Posted by Binky on January 20, 2006 11:04 AM
I thought the ad where he does that 'touchdown dance' after finding the severed finger in his chili at Wendy's was in bad taste. But you never know what to expect from royality.
This ad creeps me out as well. Looks like it was shot by someone in need of an AA meeting...
37. Posted by DannyJames on January 20, 2006 11:21 AM
First of all , the burger king isnt scary hes fuckin lame. They are tryin way too hard with this viral advertising, but idiots fall for it and it works so well. You know what scares me? Laguna Beach scares me. The fact that people enjoy that shit is truly frightening.

The Burger King is the biological progenitor of Duracell's post-modern answer to The Nelsons, The Puttermans. Is it Richard Brooker behind that mask, wrapped in prefab regal finery in lieu of a grease monkey's coveralls? Did he trade in one plastic mask for another? In this polyurethane world, it is he who reigns supreme, weilding absolute power over flesh-and-bones serfs like Brooke, Paris, Meg, Ricky, Kate, Tara and Lindsay. No matter, as long as the masses consume! The king is dead; long live the king!

Unbelievable. Brooke Burke must be really bored. This is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen.

"And congrats to Larry for his snarky yet completely useless commentary/attack on ERLynx."
You know, you're right. I'll tell you what. Next time you post something, I'll make some snivelling little comments about it, like ERLynx did about something I wrote.
Then, if you point that out, I'll say your response was a "snarky yet completely useless commentary/attack."
How's that, chief?
42. Posted by Jayne on January 20, 2006 12:54 PM
Not only is Brooke Burke bored, but she's desperate and just plain retarded.
Yet...the Burger King is more appealing than the seemingly hip hop commercials McDonalds has been making. "I'm lovin' it"...stfu. Stop rapping about the McChicken and how *late* in the night you'll be *hanging* with your girlfriends.
Gah.

As a spud with a shameful and shameless decade in the advertising biz under his rotund, tattered and tool shed-proven belt, I am compelled to add thusly: The most alarming aspect of all the advertising we see today is that, bar none, it went through this developmental process or a slight variation thereof:
1) Creative brainstorming and conceptualizing. (Author's disclaimer: "Creative" used as a convenience; irony could not be avoided.)
2) Storyboarding and shaping it into a "pitch" to the client.
3) Pitch to the client
4) Client reaction. Approval: Ad goes into production. Rejection: Ad agency retools creative concept and execution, repeating steps 2 and 3 until client approval is granted.
More often than not, producing this kind of dreck involves at least a dozen ad and marketing professionals. It is all calculated and approved by people who really -- honestly and truly -- believe that what they've created is Quality-with-a-capital-Q. So, somewhere in this great land of ours, the members of the creative team behind this latest Burger King campaign are slappin' each others' backs (and mammies) and congratulating themselves on being personally responsible for executing a selling tour de force!
Look around you. De-evolution is very real.

So if every straight man's dream is to see two women getting it on together, and if the Burger King, er, King is really a woman, would guys enjoy seeing him/her get it on with Brooke Burke? And would enjoying watching Brooke get it on with a she-male Burger King make a straight guy gay? Hmmm...too many hard questions to ponder here.
45. Posted by sarakai on January 26, 2006 01:20 AM
I think the subservient chicken is much more entertaining but this is just bizarre! So a guy walking around in a papier-mache mask with some chick is supposed to make me want burgers??? Actually, i am a bit peckish- well, I'm off to burger king...cya!
46. Posted by DURound on January 26, 2006 02:01 AM
The Burger King is creepier than a website of neighborhood sex criminals. Did you see that ad where he is looking in the window? You could tell that he'd been doing that a lot. And when he got caught he just stood there staring and staring. Makes you feel nostalgic for those ordinary sex perverts you were scanning earlier.....
