Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I see Burger King has recently brought back the "king" in their ads. For reasons I can't explain, I (and my wife) always find this guy really creepy. How 'bout patrons of the Saloon? I'm buyin' a round! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Must be something in the coffee down at the advertising agency. I see where Jared Fogle was sentenced to 15 years for activity with underage girls. Subway dropped him like a hot potato. I guess we don't get anymore normal people advertising.

Dantankerous Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 The King has always been creepy. Same of Ronald at the Golden Arches. Both is a Stephen King sort of way.

Cat Brules Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 The Who??? Â Â Really, Cat!?!?!?? Yeah, The Who. The line is a roughly-correct lyric from The Who's rock opera. "Tommy." The song is "Fiddling About," or some such. The fictional Tommy, as you might recall, suffered psychological trauma and lost his ability to see, hear and speak. He was pretty much incapacitated but somehow learned to play pinball very well. So, Tommy became "The Pinball Wizard." Â Anyway, when I saw a reply above where someone made wry reference to not letting kids get near the creepy Burger King and KFC fast food characters from their respective commercials, then for some reason, "wicked Uncle Ernie" from "Tommy" popped into my head. I meant the lyric quote to be a ridiculous reference to the mocking reference to "cartoon" corporate advertising characters. So from that perspective, yeah, really.

Tell Sackett SASS 18436 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Wasn't it "your WEIRD Uncle Ernie" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Brules Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Wasn't it "your WEIRD Uncle Ernie" ?Maybe, but it's been soooo long. I think it's "wicked," because of how the song's rhythm flows. I have "Tommy" on vinyl in a box in the garage. A time capsule from another life..... I wonder if a stage performance of "Tommy" is available on DVD? I'll have to look! I do think these latest goofy, fast food characters have gotta go. :-)  EDIT: yep, there are several video performances of "Tommy" available.

Well, he certainly is no poker player. Take a look at the Lincoln AD on the computer. Draws a three of spades to fill out his straight flush, and then smiles a big smile to tell the guy across the table that he has him beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Brules Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Well, regarding Kenny Rogers, his films are not on too many watch lists, I'll grant you that, but that GEICO ad where, "Did you know that playing poker with Kenny Rogers gets old pretty fast?" and all the other card players are giving him the evil eye, is very funny.

Utah Bob #35998 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I think we all assume the advertising industry is fueled by scotch and cocaine. I bet a national poll on the icky level of the big head Burger King would resoundingly indicate the population is thoroughly creeped out. But as they say, there's no such thing as bad publicity.
