[WOW!!](http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4186888463242782209) I haven’t laughed this hard at a TV commercial, let alone a BurgerKing commercial, in years. This time that creepy “King” didn’t seem so creepy. ---

Yes he did. Even the lyrics in the commercial call him “freaky”! Considering how awful BK’s commercials have been lately, this was a big step up. Silly, but fun. But where were the guardians of decency and morality when scantily-dressed women were belly-flopping together to make a “sandwich”? I’m outraged! Write your Congresscritters! ---

The big headed King commercials are the greatest commercials for fast food since the days of McDonaldland and the Mayor McCheese and Big Mac. The commerical where Darth Vader and the King are just staring at eachother and you hear the heavy breathing from each one is boney god funny. Whooperettes were cute. ---

The commercial was silly and weird, but the four of us guys watching during the Superbowl all agreed we would have liked to have been part of that whopper. 😉 Jim ---

Ah, so I’m NOT ALONE! My friends’ responses to that add were mostly ‘that’s just wrong!’. And I just don’t understand WHY. ---

Why can’t you see the whopperettes, heads, feet and hands sticking out of the bun at the end? Otherwise great! ---

You guys are kidding right? That was by far the worst Superbowl commerical this year. Me and my friends wondered if BK waited 6 years for a SuperBowl commerical for THIS? And if so, they should wait 6 years more. ---

> [@Homebrew](#): > > Different strokes. I think all of the King ads are brilliant and the Whopperettes was likewise. I didn’t like the Whopperettes ad so much, but the King ads in general are quite fun. The first few times I saw them, I thought they were really asinine, but then the whole creepiness factor of the king just grew on me–and the absurdity of the situation. Imagine waking up, drawing the blinds, and seeing this creepy plastic-faced fucker standing four inches from your window staring in. The nuttiness just cracks me up. I also quite enjoy the King football commercials (diving into the endzone, Lambeau leap). The Whopperettes were a bit long and boring for me.
