Oops, sorry, Ponder Stibbons posted this first. Doh!
But his EYES, man, look at his EYES. The expression of forlorn desperation utterly belies any superficial appearance of cheer given by the sight of his teeth, and the tone of his voice.
Brilliant.
Quite surreal indeed. I think most folks are whooshed by the bizarre tone. Geez, it starts out like Blazing Saddles from 1950s TV Hell. It’s almost pornographic with it’s creepy inuendo.
I remember singing it in elementary school. I particularly liked the line where they talked about hanging the jerk who invented work.
Burger King seriously needs to fire it’s ad agency. First the guy waking up in bed with the plastic-faced King, and now this piece of crap? What are they thinking???
Gaahhhhh. I misused the apostrophe! I grovel in the mud in abject humilliation.

I’d not noticed that before

I think they’re thinking that they just managed to get people across the internet to talk about a chicken sandwich commercial for weeks (months) on end. Whoever those ad agency guys are, they earned a massive raise.
It’s a commercial that might have been directed by David Lynch or Tim Burton. Some folks just aren’t gonna get it. Sorry no Cliff’s Notes on this one.
We have to live with advertising, it’s great when it’s entertaining.
Let me tell you how effective this ad is: Like everyone else here, my wife and I comment on how sureal that commercial is every time we see it, and have both said that it made us not want to buy the TCBCR sandwich.
However, we were picking up dinner after a long day cleaning our new house, and decided randomly to go to BK. While my wife is ordering, in mid-order, after she’s already ordered a regular chicken sandwich, out of her mouth comes “can you switch that to a Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch?” Just rolled right off her tongue. I asked her why she changed her order, and she honestly couldn’t tell me.
Damn you Hootie, and your subliminally good sandwich!!!
I bet that line got the loudest singing ;).
What’s going on? (My dialup connection is too slow.)
He has a phallic phrench phry erection, growing like a weed.
I wonder if he’s the person they get all the, uh, “ranch dressing” from? 
For those who wish to see the ENTIRE unedited commercial…
I haven’t seen this commercial in a while. It looks like Burger King is relying more on its other “person dressed in a creepy king costume” ads these days. They all suck.
It doesn’t look at all like a french fry erection… the guy is turned toward us, so any erections would come towards us, not straight up behind him. I watched it at least 5 times, and gave up and read what I was supposed to find, and was disappointed. But look towards the upper-right corner right before that where the girl is playing with the red onion… is that a gnome or a girl, and what is it doing?
Breasts and strip are fun, if you’re into that gender.
Sorry dude. Its still Hootie.
