Have you seen this commercial? It has some cowboys riding a guy in a chicken suit...hideous. How are you supposed to get people to buy a burger with that? Worst Booger King commercial ever. Bring the king back.

"Advertising Age called Burger King's "Herb" campaign "the most elaborate advertising flop of all time." It started out funny enough in 1986, when the narrator bragged that everyone in the country has enjoyed a Whopper, except the mysterious "Herb". His parents were ashamed, his teachers were shocked. Who wouldn't like a Whopper? Only Burger King didn't know when to quit. They decided to reveal Herb to the world and gave away thousands if you happened to see Herb in one of their restaurants. And for some reason, they even felt the need to have him be a timekeeper at Wrestlemania 2 (pictured above)."

Sounds more appealing than these "im so edgy I suck" commercials. Id rather see a conservative, no frills commercial than this unfunny POS.

Burger King is shit food. There's no rational reason to put that in your body. hence the wacky Crispin Porter Bogusky ads.

Well, something has to be working for BK and Crispin. Since Crispin has taken over the advertising, Burger Kings profits have gone up so much that currently they are planning to go public on the stock market. And BK attributes it to Crispins advertising.
No Joke

It was the king ads- this chicken stuff, me and my friends were crazy appalled by this one. They peaked at the king NFL ads and its been downhill since, including a dud of a super bowl ad.

Ya , i worked on the site for the superbowl ad. the original concept called for hot brazilian women in skimpy clothing.. somehow along the way the constumes ended up stupid and I think that ruined it.

Their fucking weirdo ad campaigns have seriously short shelf lives. If it were something that entered pop culture (time to make the donuts, wheres the beef, etc) then they could roll with it. But what they're doing is just plain disturbing and is creating temporary profits. It's just churn and burn advertising. They're obviously desperate.
Plus their major ad agency is based in fucking Miami. It probably costs more as they have to contract everything because talent has to fucking hate Miami. Here's some evidence
Wil Smith's "Welcome to Miami"

the chicken is a bird with a tiny brain, so we assume he doesn't feel any pain

spaniards need to travel there once again to spread disease to the locals. most effectively though infected beach towels.
