"Wake up with the King" (Burger King)

That is funny, yet scary at the same time.

i wouldn't really care if i woke up to the king... infact, hes kinda sexy... LOL JK! i would sue his ass and punch him till he doesnt have any teeth to smile with!

No thanks, I'd rather wake up with my husband.

This one is so strange at first I thought I'd tuned into an old Saturday Night Live re-run!!!

Burger King has done very well with the King adds,-- and selling of the BK masks. They have done what no others have,-- people are talking about it!!! Thats money in Burger Kings pocket, thats the American way. Burger King is right there with Baseball and apple pie,== it's an American institution!!! All I can say is anyone thats ANTI Burger King is just plain unAmerican!!! And anyone UNAMERICAN in my book is just a pinko commie trader!!! Yuk, yuk, puke, puke to pinko commies!!!

. . .If I saw that outside my window, I'm reaching for the bat.

Haven't eaten at a Burger King in about 12 years. These ads won't get me rushing back.

First off, the King is a total flamer. He is so homosexual he is on fire. If I woke up and he was in my bed, I would immediately check to make sure I hadn't been violated. I just find him stupid - completely stupid, and it only makes me want to steer completely clear of Burger King. I have not ate there since. And yes he would make an excellent Jason or Freddie Kruger for the next horror movie. P.S. We're all being duped. When you fill out the registration form, it asks for your gender. Gender never applied to humanbeings. It is an incorrect use of the word. Look it up - its some stupid political correctness attempt to accomodate the confused people in life who can't accept the sex they were born as.

One of the crappest commercials that was ever put out!

Yeah, you'll wake up all right. Waking up in your hospital bed after cardiac surgery from eating too much BK.

Don't have to read opinions from 45 other reviewers. This concept is scary.

I want that so bad but i dont kno where i can get it at

The Best thing top happen to advertising since "real men Of Genius" (budlight) these commercials are a pot heads dream come true... I hope these last...

You can purchase The King's Haloween mask from www.bk.com Just got mine, and it's hysterically creepy. BK also offers a Subservient Chicken mask- not as relevant or creepy. Do yourself a favor and pick up a King mask and learn the Deon Sanders shuffle before Haloween comes.

i love the king, i'd love to wake up with him :)

I think its great. It has all of us talking about it. Totaly creeped out but talking about it still. Where can I get this guys costume?

Just to let you know, the Original Burger King (The Actor) didn't become a vegan and move to sri lanka. It's an urban myth. I know this, because the actor that played the original burger king is my uncle. He was also in a few movies and tv shows after that. He is now retired and living in Illinois. I think that the last movie he did was Hoodlum with Lawrence Fishburn. (He played the owner of the cotton club). No Joke!

First, the poor guy wakes up in bed with the creepy king, then the creepy king is waiting for him at his window. THE CREEPIEST.

THE KING ROCKS!! LONG MAY HE REIGN!! Actually, after the first time i saw this commercial, i had nightmares, but, now that i've seen it so often, i've become accustomed to His face and think i might enjoy waking up next to the King. Especially, if He promises to wear those sexy tights and bad-ass medallion. The Boy is tricked-out like a serious Pimp-Daddy. On a similiar note, after my Husband and i saw the other King-mercial, the one where the guy wakes up in the morning and gets out of bed and goes over to his window and opens the blinds to find the King outside in his yard staring back at him, while peeping through the window, my Husband told me that if He was that guy, He would tell the King; to wait right there for Him, that He would be right out. Then, go and baseball bat the King's head until He was just a royal twitching heap on the grass. Now, i know why i love this Man. One thing that troubles us, though. My Husband wondered if the King's head was ceramic? i say it must be a n... Read more

Holy Jesus!!! To have a complete psychotic King stalk and later break and enter your residence is frightening! I have no idea what happens if you refuse his meal of bloodied carcasses & lard? I don't wish to think what malevolence the King could summon.

The king is pimp there should be more and alot more of it. LONG LIVE THE KING!!!!!

i think its more hilarious than creepy. that king costume, that guy waking up with that weird smile - it's all funny not creepy

If I woke up and found THAT next to me it would die.

It's so stupid/creepy it's funny. The king needs to be punched.

GO TO BED WITH THE KING! Why is this commercial so gay? For real... It gives me nightmares... I'm afraid to go to sleep now!

Are they kidding me? You wake up with that Freak in your bed and you don't immediately punch him in that big head?

The Marvelous Magical Burger King of the early 1980s is BACK! Superb! Too bad they couldn't get the original Burger King because he became a vegitarian and moved to Sri Lanka (for real!) Meat n' cheeeese, and.. MEAT and CHEEEEESE! OutSTANDING.

I recently lived in a place where there was a burger king at the end of the block. This commercial sent me right down to the end of the road to get two of those sandwitches. I love meat and cheese, I love uncomfortable situations with homoerotic overtones, and I love that King costume, so this was right up my alley!

That king has sent me to Burger King no less than 5 times in the morning this past month, I just wish the'd stop playing it after breakfast is served, I too want to be the king

Perhaps one of the greatest television ads of all time. My friends and I have been talking about that King -- that big-ass pez-headed nightmare. I see him everywhere -- standing on the street, next to me in the car. I think this ad is almost as bizzare as that scene in The Shining where the guy is in the dog suit kneeling in the room.

I think the very creepiness of the commercial is what I find so appealing. And the voice of the King and the fact that it's a plastic mask instead of someone with King makeup on. I just love everything about it. Congratulations to Burger King for trying something different!

HELP! who has a picture of this commercial? send it to [email protected], thanks!

In most alchemical illustrations, the King is the symbol for a conscious force of change. It's obvious that Burger King has inverted the pardigm and are using the King as a conscious force of stagnation. The King bids his slave to simply stay in bed and consume. The slave, still weary from ether can only vaguely demonstrate his reluctance. In fact, this ad is a cleverly disguised admonition of the current Presidential Administration. It is the very vision of an apathetic electorate force fed its ideas.

I love this commercial, everything I find on the internet relating to waking up with the king is all negative. Kid's are crying, parents are creeped out, I think this just makes it 10x better lol.

I LOVE this commercial! It was even on vh1s best week ever! WHERE DO YOU BUY THAT MASK I SO WANT ONE!!! Egg,& meat,& cheese,& meat, & cheese!!! Disturbing, creepy, & Hilarious!!!

Hilarious commercial. You get people that hate it and love it - the fact that Burger King gets people to talking about it shows that their advertising is working. The ORIGINAL ad showed the king patting the guy on the shoulder but all subsequent versions show the king patting the guy on the lap/leg - anyone else notice this? I wonder why the change? -Erin

I guess I'll have to give it 5 stars since it's the only commercial I've researched the Web. Creepy overwhelmingly is used to discribe it. My favorate comment: The Burger King King is back and this time he's as diabolical as ever. Betcha there's gonna be some diabolical kings around this Halloween. The utter blanality of the setting and - then - The King, with that hypnotic voice going big and cheese and meat and cheese or something. I'm completely mesmerised by it, but I'm not going to Burger King (unless they're giving away those king masks). It really captures the confusion experienced when you're waking up and still dreaming a dream and not sure what's reality yet.

Does anyone remember a BK commercial a couple of years ago, when they were giving out something for free? These two guys are eating together and one of them tells the other that he thinks the girl who waited on him is attracted to him, just because she gave him a special deal (which everyone was getting, but he wasn't bright enough to know it). His friend just munched on his hamburger and said, You do know you're a moron, right? It was the only funny Burger King commercial I ever saw. I wish I had it on tape.

It must have been an interesting party the night before...

Get that demented crown wearing freak OUT OF MY BED!

One of the best ads ever!

I thought it was hilarious...i'm trying to find that costume for halloween. I hate BK but that costume is awesome.

This commercial is great. That Burger King is one for the horror movies. I would not be suprised if this is the next Jason or Freddy.

i don't understand the ratings system. does 5-Great! in Creepiest Commercials mean you like it? at any rate, burger king takes a risk here, and i do like it. i just find the unappetizing, reductionist description of their food as egg, and meat, and cheese, and meat and cheese, pretty hilarious on paper, and the intonation of the voice actor is pretty dead-on. and i love the fiberglass burger king! of course it's creepy--that's why it's funny! i can see how some people just wouldn't be into the whole concept here, though. but compare this to the mcdonald's stay away from my chicken selects commercials, which are funny/appealing neither on paper nor in execution and consequently infinitely creepier. but creepiness is such a subjective pejorative... you should at least thank burger king for taking a risk. i mean, i like the commercial, but it makes their food look at best slightly unappealing to me! jeers on the homophobic coda, however.

Why add the homophobic bit? It was already a bad commercial - certainly didn't make me hungry either.

Thank you ! I thought I was the only one who found this commercial to be extremely creepy, and I don't think they meant for it to be that way. It is honestly just eerie. Even the sandwich they use looks nasty compared to what you actually buy in the restaraunt itself. I am in total agreement with Kamy when she says to stop it where it is now...just awful...

Just in time for Halloween. this is kind of creepy. who wants to wake up to that? It sure does not inspire me to run to Burger King. Blech.

(5=ACCCK!) Thank you! My husband and I BOTH think this is one of the creepiest commercials out there! You wake up one morning and . . . there's a guy in a royal costume laying next to you??? That's just a little freaky! I hope they decide not to continue with this commercial and keep it as a single commercial rather than a series. I don't think I'd want any more of it!
