I say the Burger King's advertiseing campaigned worked nice since you all remember that commercial versus the hundreds of others you have seen.

It all has to do with a mind that freaks or wierds the person out so much that they remember it is from what I remember reading in a magazine long ago.

And it still hasnt convinced me to go eat there.

So, really, the commercial failed didnt it.

Yeah, for you the commercial has failed but for others it reminds them that instead of going to McDonalds or where ever they go all the time they have the alternative to go to Burger King so you remember Burger King faster then any other place I would think... just pure speculation now...

I'd rather see another Burger King "King" commercial than that again...

Geez, I've heard that term snake used for cutting in line from way back in the '70's. Guess skateboarders just picked it up and continued using it. It's an old slang term.

I thought it was a fantastic commercial.

A couple of my weakminded friends wanted to eat there after seeing it :) They wouldn't survive against Jedis.

haha it's a great commercial!!

I saw it during the South Park WoW episode, and since I was in an extreme laughing mood, i couldn't help myself and laughed at the commercial.

*has an unknown urge to suddenly go to burger king. proceeds to hop into car... *

actually, it didn't fail. it caused you to post about it. I was thinking of where to go to eat just now. had you not posted about it, I wouldn't have seen it bumped to the top. Because of the commercial, I now want Burger King.

So, thanks to you, Burger king has one more customer.

Congrats!

I thought it was funny, although a triple whooper would be just too much for me.

I thought it was going to be, you know, Snake, with the special forces, and the sneaking around, and the slaughtering rats in the sewers and eating them raw. That would be a great BK commercial.
