For those of you needing a mental cold shower after making the virtual bartender do "banana" repeatedly, I present to you:

http://www.subservientchicken.com

Some guy in a chicken suit and garters. WTF. When this was first posted on www.fark.com the chicken would respond to things like "rub your nipples," "hump the couch" and worse - these have since been taken out. It's still pretty damn strange...and this is sponsored by Burger King.

Suitable things to say to the garter chicken man:

weird: air guitar, electric slide, do the cabbage patch, do karate, die, rocky horror picture show, lay an egg

weirder: mosh, get drunk, take a smoke break, set yourself on fire, throw up, sign of the devil, crawl, swordfight, pick up rope (this seems to piss him off?), put lotion in the basket (wtf?)

uh: piss on the couch, freak, worship satan, make me a sandwich, act like a dog, stroke your garter, fart

Enjoy!

= Veldron eh

First Kirasha, lemme say...

Nice artwork and stuff me likey!!!

Second lemme say....

Can I see the car YET?!

Third lemme say... I really like this new burger king gimmic, it's funny. This thing though is pretty damn weird!

I disagree on liking the burger king thing. I'm not sure who they've hired to do their marketing, but they need to fire them, quickly. I find the whole thing not just weird, but disturbing, to a point where I don't even want to eat their food any longer. This link pretty much seals the deal. On its own, I might've found it funny in counter to the virtual bartender. But knowing that Burger King sponsored it really creeps me out. I mean first there was Ugoff with his "bag" which was just plain strange. Then there was the the commercial where the guy woke up with the Burger King in his bed which was just plain creepy. But this link... I don't have the words to describe the creep factor. ... best I got is, "Ick!!!"

I think it's the guy in the chicken suit & garters

I think that ad was kinda funny. In no way did I get a "This guy just slept with the Burger King in the worst case of beer goggles ever" idea, it was meant to imply that when you get up you should be thinking "Ahh sleepy, what now? Oh, Burger King - sure!"


And Kirasha, can I see the car tomorrow?

You know what the Burger King in the bed commercial made me think of? The horse's head in the bed scene from The Godfather. Not sure why. But it did. I think because I would've been screaming like that if I woke up with the Burger King in my bed. So I thought I was the only one to think that. Until I did a google search to remember Ugoff's name and ran across a forum in which the same comparison was made. Anyway, I guess horse heads are not good things to associate with food.

Nope - we reserve that distinction for clowns, odd monarchs, and giant boxing chickens!

I remember seeing a show where the horse head was a cartoon horse. It was funny.

That commercial had me rolling on the floor laughing.
Litterally.
My friends thought I had snapped.

Tacz wrote:My friends thought I had snapped.

This as opposed to confirming that you have, indeed, snapped?

If I found the Burger King in my bed, it'd be regicide with a side of onion rings.

No, I snapped a long time ago. They just thought that I had backtracked and it had happened again.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but I really don't think any of these commercials were made with you, or your generation in mind.
I mean no offence in saying this (look, I learned to state that and not just expect people to know... Aww, it's only taken me almost 21 years ^^) butI think you need to consider the fact that the youth and not the old geezers (geezer is not a bad word, don't kill me) are paying the BK pay checks.

It's like Hip Hop, Rap, Gangsta Rap (or what ever you wanna call that category) death metal and what not. Older generations were not ment to understand it. It wasn't made for them. Some do, and that's cool. Some teens get Jim Morrison. They're a minority tho' cus it's not made for us or our generation. Things have changed (a little).

Every generation likes to believe they invented rude, humour, sarcasm, music, culture and trends. None of us did. But all of it is still tailored for the current generation, and it will try to shock the older generations. It's always been like that, always will.
Who knows, 20 years from now I might say "Damn kids, get of my lawn". While I highly doubt it (like any other person at 20 would) it doesn't change the fact that history seems to be pretty determined that I think and say so at some point... It's just things.

Tbh tho, if you stop buying food over a commercial... Well, I dunno... Seems rather, you know, odd!
What on earth does a commercial have to do with taste? I love BK, and they could have the bloody tele tubbies in a sing along with Barny the dinosaur from hell commercial... And I'd still eat it.

I don't go there because they make me laugh, I go there because it beats other fast food joints both hands down. (Ok, Pizza hut is not the be underestimated)

As they say:
There's bad, and ok... And then there's BK!

Ok... Oddy inspired a rant... here we go....

I don't care WHAT age group these commercials are targeted at... BK's Marketing director needs to face The Donald and hear "You're Fired." (yet another thing that's annoying the hell out of me... but that's for another rant... LOL (: Ya know... I seem to be doing a lot of those lately... I must be channeling Metalynx (; )

No... its not a "generation" thing, i'm 23 for goddess' sake and i still find those things annoying... but the first time i saw that 'wake up with the king' I was.... unimpressed... No... it didn't creep me out but it sure didn't inspire me to jump out of bed and drive to BK to get a breakfast taquito...

The chiken thing... eh... could have been better but what can I say... its a guy in a chicken suit with garters on... how much better could they have made it? Taking the website as it is... i'll say this much... in counter to the "Virtual Bartender... Its funny as hell well... parts of it are... As a BK gimmick... It could have been done more tastefully....

Yes... I know these things are geared towards kids... Towards the people who listen to modern music and towards people who think knock down drag out slapstick comedy is the only way to go.... But not all of us are that way...

I'm by no means part of the "cool" crowd... I never have been... I play chess, i'm a nerd, a geek and a gadget and game addict... I enjoy intelligent conversation and things that make you THINK... not things that make you go "Hmmmm? What the heck was that about?" I listen to classic rock (I'm part of the small minority that Oddysee talked about), country, metal, and just about everything else i can get my hands on...

Unfortunately I'm in the minority for my generation... about two thirds of us think an artist like J-lo or Justin Timberlake or whatever other band that is their "favorite" is the absolute best and that any other genre of music is crappy and that if Comedy is not sexual, physical or downright stupid its not funny....

All I can say is Goddess help me if the vast majority of my generation doesn't get its head out of its arse bloody quickly....

Honestly I don't mean to offend any of you all in this... I consider my friends in AO to be highly intelligent and almost all of you i've met here have been VERY open minded. and to quote tarryk...

This just happens to be mine...

Offend? One would have to WANT to be offended to take offense to that... But then, I find some people are like that... I dunno...

I personally detest slap stick. I find Mr. Bean to one of the worst things ever to come out of England. One of them... THE worst is the Spice Girls ^^
Yet at the same time, Rowan Atkinson has made some of the most intelligent comedy ever imo. Black Adder... It just goes to show.

But then, wouldn't it be boring if we were all alike? We'd never have anything to rant about ^^

Oh, and btw... Please refrain from ever calling J-Lo and artist... Or mentioning the other guys name... Ever again... Thank you ^^

Do I ever agree with you there... Mr. Bean annoyed the hell out of me.... especially coming from someone as intelligent and as talented as Rowan Atkinson

As stated here... *laugh* Loved "Thin Blue Line" as well...

Not a problem... will not do that ever again....

I'm sorry...Oddy, you seem to be getting way too defensive over my opinion.

This old geezer happens to enjoy a fast food meal. I don't care who their target audience is. As a consumer, I was turned off to Burger King.

Are you telling me that the youth of America wants to wake up with the Burger King in their bed? I think not. But even, even if you all think that's funny, does that make you want to buy a croisandwich (or however you spell it)? God, I sure hope not.

Speaking of the youth of America, I happen to be the parent of one. Who do you think gives him his money to afford such treats as a whopper? Who in fact do you think takes him to the drive thru? Now, consider this: Who do you think is now saying, no, lets go to McDonald's this time?

Now having said all that, I don't take offense at anything you said, but going back to my original point, I think you got a little overly upset. Believe it or not, we old people can have an opinion without trying to tell someone that they're wrong for not agreeing.

Thank you. Please drive thru.

*comes in and hits play on winamp*

"Thank you thank you you have been owned, please pick your face up off the floor and don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out"

Wow, when did this get such a hot topic? I only have a small thing to add to the subject at this point.

IT'S A FREAKING AD FOR FAST FOOD!!!

Who gives a Rollerats ass if ya like it or it creeps ya out. It's such a small part of our society, nobody needs to get so worked up about it.

Someone shoot me...I'm agreeing with Boinky. LOL
