I think BK is working way too hard on entertainment, and not enough on selling, which makes my job more difficult.

pretty good. i love the little asian guy who comes out of burger king...the guy hopping out of the minivan, the minivan in the giant truck getting pulled by the guy from return of the jedi that is in charge of that giant beast thing that luke kills in jabba the hutt's lair who is being led by the temptation of one of those sandwiches.

not incredible, but amusing enough. in short, it's no "tender crisp bacon cheddar ranch"

it's about time these fatty fast food joints stop trying to pass themselves off as salad bars. It's good to see BK not trying to pass themselves off as something they're not.

I swear, if i knew nothing about McDonald's except what i saw in commericals, i'd think they were a health-food store.

My brother's friend lived with us for a few months and loves Burger King and would just randomly say "BK" all of the time.

I guess you'd really have to live it to see the humor in it.

That's all I've got.

Same here, but I like the closing line: "Eat like a man, man."

No, I definitely see it. But then that's my humor, too. I'm imagining a guy throwing his fists in the air in a celebratory way, much as Steve Holt would when yelling "Steve Holt!" "BK!"

I thought when the construction worker punches the other one in the stomach that a classic was born. Ok, ok. I am exagerrating, but that was my favorite part.

Personally, I think that one of the all-time best commercials on t.v. is and has been the Geico commercial: "It's so easy, a caveman could do it (insincere, nervous laugh)...etc"

What's the commercial with the grandfather doing hip-hop at a funeral and the place catches fire? Can't remember the product (probably insurance), but it was damn funny.
