That commercial scares the bejeebes out of me. The moment it comes on, my husband or I change stations, but just seeing it creeps me out. Take it off the air, take it off the air…take it off the air…pllleeeeaaaasssseeeee!!!
However, he was successful enough that for a few months, Ronald McDonald suddenly had magic powers that he could call forth with a snap of his fingers. Apparently, the Mickey-D’s ad execs thought the whole “magician” angle of the Burger King was what the kids liked to see.
Well, he was an ordained minister. 
That joke would work better if he had been a priest.
Just the other day I was describing him as Duracell family meets Enzyte Bob. Creepy indeed!
I thought it was the best fast food commercial I had ever seen. I guess the reason I thought it was so funny was because I had no idea what the commercial was for until it said “Wake up with the King.”
Did you guys know that McDonald’s was successfully sued by the makers of H.R. Pufnstuf?
Catherine of Aragon - divorced
Anne Boleyn - executed [french swordsman type, not big axe]
Jane Seymore - died, complications after childbirth
Anne of Cleves - divorced
Katheryn Howard - executed
Katherine Parr - widowed
Schlub he woke up with - horribly murdered, head skewered on record-player turntable
Pttt!!! OK, now that was funny!!!
I woke up once with a chick who looked like that once!
The Sardonic grin and that shellacked face.... I'm sorry,I'll never do that again!
( what was I drinkin'?):eek:
You slept with Tammy Faye!!!
Listen, when you’re making a joke you sometimes have to sacrifice historical accuracy to get to the punchline. Given his 1/3 divorce rate and 1/3 execution rate, plus his obesity, I think anybody would be wise to stay away from the guy all the same.
No, the creepiest is that Juicy Fruit ad with the CPR dummy. That thing gives me the willies.
Which is all probably a sign that animated plastic homunculi are a bad idea in commercials. That said, the “Wake Up With the King” ads, despite being decidedly unsettling, amuse me nevertheless, in that “That is so freaky” way… 
The voice-over for it is just as bizarre: *Eggs, and meat and cheese…and meat…and cheese…" * Maybe the “King” was looming threateningly over the voice-over guy too, making him fumble his lines and just ad-lib out of sheer terror.
I think that the next ad should feature the King, waking up with the King.
The Mr Sardonicus Burger King sits up and gently taps the lump in the sheets. The sheets are thrown back to reveal, Zombie Elvis. He sits up, leaving bits of green skin on the bed. Zombie Elvis turns empty, sunket sockets toward the shivering Burger King.
“Mughhg! Nuuugh! Ahem. Hech. Hem. Thar. Thass Better. Y’all got any bacon?”
The Burger King slowly, and shakily brings out a breakfast sandwich.
“Thinkyew. Thinkyew very much.”
Zombie Elvis takes huge bites. Strangely, he keeps looking at Burger King’s hands as he eats.
According to Burger King’s site (they still have not had the nerve to post even an image of the Creepy King), what the schlub was handed was a “CROISSAN’WICH® with sizzling sausage, egg and melted American cheese. It’s everything you need to get you going.”
Everything you need to projectile vomit, after wolfing it down in sheer terror, five seconds after waking up and finding yourself confronted by a Plasticine Golem in bed with you. Who the hell could eat that first thing in the morning even under normal circumstances?!
Hmph! Next you’ll be telling me you don’t want to eat those eggs-sausage-and-cheese breakfast Hot Pockets. Phillistine.
I hope it’s not real cheese, but that stuff from the can!
Hot Sausage!!! Getcher Hot Sausage Here!!! Inna Bun!!!
