Somebody's Gotta Say It

I think I have a pretty good sense of humor but there are some things I just don't get. That being said, it's pretty clear to me that the ad department at Burger King and I are pretty much out of sync when it comes to humor. If you ask Stephanie, she could tell you that I've been complaining about Burger King commercials ever since the scary, plastic, oversized king appeared on the scene (if not before). And now, here's the ad for their shroom and swiss burger. Are you kidding me?

I'm definitely not their target audience either.
I wonder if they're aiming for middle schoolers?

The king ones worked enough that people remembered them - so even in recognizing it's awkwardness was a win for them.

You are so funny. I can't believe you blogged about those stupid commercials. I guess the last one put you over the edge.

Pat,
Middle School humor would definitely explain a lot!

Steph,
How long have I been complaining about their commercials? I just couldn't sit idly by any longer!

Not only that, it's false advertising. I had to write my own blog about how disgusting that burger is!
