Anyone see that new Burger King commercial?

TazFTW · 02-25-2005, 02:37 PM

Most bizarre commercial I've seen.

It has that lead singer from Hootie and the Blowfish singing about a chicken sandwich. It also had Brooke Burke on a swing, some Dallas Cowboys' cheerleaders, that subservient chicken, Vida Guerra(sp?). It was just weird.

Franklinnoble · 02-25-2005, 02:37 PM

We've discussed this. The singer is actually SkyDog.

I'm sure SOMEBODY can post a photo verifying this...

that subservient chicken = ???

Burger King was running (it could still be up) that had a guy dressed up as a chicken inside of an apartment. People that visited the site could type in something and the chicken would do it.

It's wearing a garter belt. How in the world is that supposed to sell chicken sandwiches?

Blackadar · 02-25-2005, 03:10 PM

I saw that and couldn't figure it out.

Then I figured out Hootie IS Skydog. It all makes sense now.

Vinatieri for Prez · 02-26-2005, 05:03 AM

Definitely a career killer for Hootie; although he probably realized his career was already over. It is a very wierd commerical, indeed.

Maple Leafs · 02-26-2005, 10:24 AM

This was one of those ads that caused my wife to turn to me after it aired and say "Did you just see that too, or am I having a stroke?"

Tekneek · 02-26-2005, 10:25 AM

You guys watch commercials?

kcchief19 · 02-26-2005, 12:38 PM

I can't believe no one has responsed with "I'd hit it."

Pumpy Tudors · 02-26-2005, 07:13 PM

Does this commercial seem to last 3 minutes to anyone else? I love it, personally, but I think Darius Rucker is sending out a not-so-subtle cry for help.

jbmagic · 02-28-2005, 08:46 PM

just saw the commercial.

is that really Skydog that singing? or you guys joking?

bosshogg23 · 02-28-2005, 08:52 PM

I hate that commercial. It was on about 20 times when I was trying to watch Family Guy last night.

JeeberD · 02-28-2005, 08:58 PM

I still haven't seen it...

JeeberD · 02-28-2005, 08:59 PM

Saw a new version of this. This time Brooke Burke actually says something.

I think she always says something at the end.

You were probably just too shell shocked to notice the first few times.

Could he possibly have already gone through all the "Only Wanna Be With You" and "Hold My Hand" money?

Ksyrup · 03-01-2005, 06:42 AM

I saw this damned commercial at least 5 times last night. His voice sounds awful, like he's got a cold or something. Now, I didn't listen to much Hootie to begin with, so maybe he's always sounded like this, but he sounds even whiter in the commercial than he did with Hootie.

What a bizarre, bizarre career move. That commercial has half a dozen things which separately could kill a career, and he does them all in the span of 30 seconds. The song, the wardrobe, the concept, the "it's a friggin BK commercial!" thing, his performance...what's that? 5 things? All they needed to do was add that Schneider guy from the B-52s (or hell, even the one from One Day At a Time), and the destruction would have been utter and complete.

Flasch186 · 03-01-2005, 07:04 AM

by far wierdest commercial on tV right now...

wait... Skydog's black??

LoneStarGirl · 03-23-2005, 04:55 PM

Oh and I read somewhere that one of the girls on the seesaw at the begining of the commercial is Jenna Jameson. Not that any of you guys know who that is or anything

SirFozzie · 03-23-2005, 04:57 PM

Care to fill us in, then, LoneStarGirl? You sound like you're on quite personal terms with Mrs. Jameson there..

(um.. excuse me I'm going to run now while I still have life and limbs.)

LoneStarGirl · 03-23-2005, 04:59 PM

Well she is my mother's friend's cousin's boyfriend's mother's neice's best friend's sister. But other than that, I dont know anything about her

I'm not sure that moral outrage is justified here -- I think the basic structure of Big Rock Candy Mountain has been appropriated, both directly and indirectly, just about as widely as any piece of music in the language. This isn't exactly a first.

As for the commercial...it's one of the most retarded things I've ever seen. Looks like some undergrad TV major's senior project.

Swaggs · 03-23-2005, 08:48 PM

Everyone is talking about it, though.

Although, I haven't been to BK since it came out.

Esquared1 · 03-23-2005, 10:21 PM

I'm proud to also say Skydog is Frylock.

Man, every time I see that commercial, it creeps me out. So much so, I don't want to eat a whopper.

While I'm on the subject of people here, I guess this a bad time for me to share the board-related dream I had last night, huh?

Ksyrup · 03-24-2005, 06:25 AM

Can anyone confirm or deny that the first chick picking hamburgers from the tree (did I just type that?) is Jesse Spano (you know, that Berkley chick from Showgirls)? Looks just like her.

JeeberD · 03-24-2005, 10:32 AM

Somebody on a different board said that it's a girl named Carolyn.

hxxp://www.onemodelplace.com/member.cfm?ID=149514

Personally, I think it looks a whole hell of a lot like Christina Aguilara...

sterlingice · 04-08-2005, 01:50 AM

Just a random bump as the new BK commercials are scaring me. Anyone see the similarity?

SI

TLK · 04-08-2005, 02:07 AM

The whole thing is just flat-out weird.... but yes, I see the "Buddy Jesus" comparison...
