Burger King Commercials Are Really Bad

- Today we're taking a look at some of Burger King's more recent commercials featuring "real people" and "real reactions". They are very similar to the terrible Chevy ads that I talked about back in 2018, and they're just as annoying. Let's see if they make you want to try the Impossible Whopper or not.

Will do
Sorry but I don’t have any money 😢
Threat level midnight in the background, I see what you did
Let me rob a bank first
what happened to your blm fundraiser video?
No one says “all white chicken inside” if they’re not being paid to promote it
Also who is impressed that cooked chicken breast is white?
yeah, that wouldn't be how you say it as a normal person either, but why tf would people care about chicken with white insides, will I compare it to my teeth?
Let alone "*tender* all white chicken inside"
No one says that. Every. And never should. NEVER!
That reminds me of a political ad in Texas where they act like they’re interviewing people, but the people use the exact same, slightly odd phrasing, one after the other.
My favorite BK commercial is the “Get 8 piece nuggets for a dollar”, but the restaurant they filmed the commercial at still had the old promo on the wall that read “10 piece nuggets for a dollar”
Lmaoo that’s classic
HELL YEAH!!!! I would've forgot about that if you didnt say it lol
Link?
@@jimmi3839 agreed
PAHAHAHAHA way to show they're ripping people off with their new "deal"
I was in the Impossible Whopper commercial! I’m the one talking at 11:20.
The story they present in the ad is actually pretty much how it was presented to me. I signed up to do a “Impossible Restaurant” focus group, they brought us to that storefront, and then they did a countdown and then the signs went away and revealed it was Burger King. My genuine reaction was to point at the Burger King and say “It’s Burger King.” For when I say “It’s here, and its everywhere?” That was in response to them asking me how I felt about the product being available at Burger Kings everywhere.
Lol nice
I'm confused, are you saying the line about it being everywhere scripted or your real reaction
@@vandam6057 it was coerced they asked "how do you feel about it being everywhere?"
And respond "it's here and everywhere?" Not a genuine reaction just responding to a question and edited to seem as if it was a reaction
I'm not making fun but was this edited or was it your legit reaction?
@@imperialspy8202 Legit reaction
"I ate the crispy... I ate the chicken." How exactly does one "eat the crispy"?
I assume he means the crisp outer layer of tan breading *tiny burger king script falls from my pocket*
Like Cartman did with the KFC chicken in that one episode
@@sincerecinnamon 😂
The third thing they would say is I ate the crispy chicken
He sucked the chicken till it was soggy then ate the chicken.
Burger King literally showed how people lie for a camera and then gave them the chicken and they all said it was good... so, based on the commercial, they’re lying for the camera about how it’s good right?
Exactly 😂
If I was in that commercial and they called me out for lying, I'd just be like "Oh yeah you're right, it was McDonald's! My bad. Those sure were good..."
big brain time
I've always thought that they all weren't lying. Either they were paid to read potentially scripted dialog act and surprised or they had the chicken nuggets and didn't know the difference (which I can't blame them for)
Anyone who says those chicken tenders are good are definitely lieing, those are terrible. They’re super dry and there’s barely any meat
Ironically, Scott reluctantly trying Burger King burgers is a better advertisement than the actual BK commercials.
Yeah I'm actually pretty curious now.
Did anyone notice that guy @7:30 says flame boiled
Because we know Scott, we know he's an honest guy. Can't say the same for the people in the commercials
Oh my god the burgers look so fucking good in both the ads and scott's test I can't even. Looks like the ads worked on me but I don't even care because I'm just hungry rn lol
I've seen the "fancy" burger ad. I thought the impossible whopper ad was a news segment at first.
I love when commercials try to make people say their buzzword phrases as if they would naturally say anything about the “all white meat chicken” or “This burger is flame grilled” instead of just “This is really good. Hit’s the spot.”
Ah, yes. Hit is the spot.
No one really says hits the spot these days either… well no one who isn’t a weirdo
@@twall91but they did say it two years ago
Guess I'm a weirdo then@@twall91
As a vegetarian I'm really glad that they're wrapped differently to avoid confusion. I eat the impossible whopper frequently and I really like it.
I was vegan for a bit, and I was LIVING on Impossible Whoppers for a while
Gross
Just eat meat
@@LugiThePainDrinker no
@@susansaphire5983 Plot twist: what makes it so good is the meat residue. BK doesn't use different grills or deep fryers for the plant based options
are we not gonna address the guy who said “i’ve turned burger king into a crime scene a time or two” because holy shit why is that so funny
Hes not talking about the food. He legit killed someone there
So THATS where the patties come from
Right?! "I love Burger King so much. I have robbed them at gunpoint multiple times. Good times"
Is nobody gonna address the fact that there is a video loop of baby toys playing in the background?
@@wowwow1531 niou
“Real people, not actors” because actors aren’t real people 😂
They're aliens
Technically they are real people.
And they aren't professional hollywood actors.
They're actually robots with no free will or concience.
DEADEYEHIKI Yea!
Teeeeechnically they are real people
"We don't know if these commercials have driven sales."
-Somebody who was driven to buy two whoppers by these commercials
I was super upset when they got rid of the Angry whopper. Then a BK worker just told me to get a regular whopper with jalapenos and I was happy again lol
everyone talking about the laptop but honestly i'm admiring all the counter space behind him. i'm jealous.
Looks like a green screen
Edit: guess not
Same
nobody I thought so too! Gave me Ryan George vibes
Exactly! I had to restart the video because I was so mesmerized by it and didn’t hear a word he was saying. 😅
I want that kitchen aid mixer omg that pink color
The charmin bears really bother me because they talk about how the toilet paper keeps your underwear clean but none of the bears wear bottoms.
Right! And then the commerical where the kid bear picks his underwear off the floor like??? The Charmin bear society rules confuse me
addy bishop Their fur comes off like pants and a hoodie. Sleep tight.
They wear it under their fur.
Oh my! 🙊🐻🧻😂
@@NickC_222 thanks, I hate it.
Ah yes, a fancy burger that you can't order temperature on. Only the most elite burger establishments will refuse your request for a half decent medium rare burger. I also love that his pitch includes it being 100% beef and the tomatos being cut that day. If that wasn't an unspoken implication at a restaurant, I would be very concerned.
Thank you so much for this. Sums up my thoughts exactly.
If they were gonna go with this "real people, real reactions" angle, I wonder if they'd have been better off actually going fully real by marketing an "impossible challenge" where you basically do what Scott did: you get a normal whopper and an impossible whopper and they're wrapped the same and you try to tell the difference. You could put numbers on the wrappers and include a card saying which is which inside the bag or something. Then try to promote it as a tiktok challenge.
I feel like teenagers on tiktok would go for that, posting their reaction of trying to tell which is which, and all the reactions actually would be real instead of the fake real thing they have going on now. And I think you'd have way more people trying the impossible burger who otherwise never would, people who would normally never order a meat substitute burger but end up doing it for the challenge because they're so sure they can tell the difference.
Like other commenters have said, this video is a better ad than the actual BK commercials, so why not just do that on purpose lol
If I was going to an opening of a restaurant, and they dropped the sign to reveal Burger King, I would be so disappointed.
Riley Wilson I know, right? If it was real, what did they expect lol
Yeah I mighta walked away.
@Iconix Beoinx and then eat it in front of it just to taunt them
the first ad is so bad though, I see that and think “so the product is so unoriginal that people are convinced they’ve had it before” like what message are they even trying to get across? it’s so random
i didn't get it either, even if the others are pretty shitty at least they have a clear point, the chicken tender one seems like they came up with it while drunk
yeah it's the typical "they have like 5 different types of chicken things on the menu, one of those has to be what they're talking about". It's just a sign of a poorly recognizable menu and an overload of things on offer. If you have half a dozen different things that are fundamentally almost the same, of course people will say they must've had some of that at some point.
It could also be their brain making up a new memory. Brains do that sometimes.
Generic Name it’s probably them remembering the McDonalds chicken tenders they ate, but not being 100% sure where they got it from
In the first ad, one of the people is a well known paid fake actor for things, mainly being a cop his name is jacobbergeractor. So do with that what u will
AND WHEN THEIR ANGER GOT HOT ENOUGH
“I’m angry now”
I love how the computer in the background goes from displaying stuff like Infinity War to literally Baby Einstein. 😄
In the beginning it shows threat level midnight
JoeyRedPlayzYT I saw that too!
So glad it wasn’t any of the parts with the puppets. Those fucks freaked me out as a child
@@JoeHoeDoesSomething starring Micheal scarn
@@Linkbrawler9000 (I know this is kinda random) I don't know if you watched Baby Neptune as a kid, but the fish puppet that would occasionally pop out on the screen from the void scared the living crap out of me lol...
The first ad had such a weird concept - you're supposed to trust "real people" on the street's opinion who lied to help burger king like 3 seconds ago. Who thought of this??
LOL
Lol, I thought the same.
They establish them as liers, and then want you to believe their opinion
🤣
I always think it’s funny when fast food commercials ask people things like “what if I told you you were eating a Burger King burger?” It is essentially Burger King admitting that everyone’s expectations of their own food is already terrible, and that they should expect to hate it unless tricked into eating it…
Things I learnt from these commercials:
1.) even burger king knows they have to starve you for 4 hours to enjoy their food
2.) their whoppers don't taste like beef and are therefore indistinguishable from fake beef 😂
actually even 'real beef' can be indistinguishable from fake soo... Idk
@@kasarina5880 I was pescatarian for about 5 years and never found that to be true but maybe its true somewhere 😂
Also I've had burger king in the year since leaving this comment and their whoppers are actually pretty good so sorry for shit talking before having one 😂
Impossible meat is just extremely close. It's the company's whole gimmick.
Yeah that's what I'm saying. Meat substitute tends to make me kinda nauseous, and Burger King beef does that too
So by "disguised their burger" they just made it like how it looks on the ads and not the slap job you would actually get in restaurant.
I can understand how none of the people would recognize it as a burger king burger.
You know if u actually ask them to make it look good, they will. Most people just don’t care
that's what I think every time I see this ad
@@johnathanarcher6999 wait..fr?
How would this conversation even go? “One whopper please. Oh, and could you also do a good job? Like, Burger King burgers suuuuuck, so please make it good this time, thanks.”
@@johnathanarcher6999 the fact that you have to go out of your way to ask them to make their food look presentable, instead of just doing it... You don't see why that's a problem?
"I've turned Burger King into a crime scene a couple times"
So what you're saying is, you've murdered Burger King employees. Got it.
IDK but I've murder their toilets a couple of times
Or robbed them.
@@BlooCollaGal ... Nathan. . . . why?
@@procontroller8596 because of their food....???
@@BlooCollaGal I don't think I've ever had a mean shit after eating burger King what'd you have?
Legend has it, Burger King Execs saw Scott's vid here, took such harsh criticism and made the beautiful "whopper whopper whopper whopper" jingle commercial that's poppin now
“Whopper, Whopper, Whopper, Whopper
Junior, Double, Triple Whopper
Flame-grilled taste with perfect toppers
I rule this day
Lettuce, mayo, pickle, ketchup
It's okay if I don't want that
Impossible or bacon Whopper
Any Whopper my way
At BK have it your way
You rule!”
Everyone: *discussing the topic of the video*
Me: *just thinking about Threat Level Midnight playing in the background*
He playED NBC and Disney content in the background so if Burger King tried to claim the video there would be a copyright war
Me too
Didn't scott already talk about these type of comments in one of his vids?🤣
lol same
Same😂
I H A T E that one Chromebook ad where everyone is like "I'M DYING GET ME A CHARGER"
SAME! i cringe every time i watch it
The first time I heard it I was listening to music in another tab and panicked a little when they were casually like Oh I'm dying 🤷 🤣
It must have worked! You still remember it...
No the thing that annoys me is that they are highlighting the fact that chargers are annoying, but their product still uses a charger, just has a longer batterie life or whatever. It's fucking pointless
and then the chromebooks die in 3 hours anyways.
Scott was probably screaming when he saw those new Burger King ads
12:10
Me and my friend did the math. This man has consumed at least 1412032.44 calories in Whoppers.
Fun Fact: The Burger King costume does not have any “eye holes,” so the Burger King has to slowly be directed on where to go and is helped by employees to make sure he doesn’t hit anything. At 7:05 you can see him accidentally hit the guy’s shoulder. Also this is why the burger king never moves much during the commercials.
damn so him just randomly appearing behind them as if to surprise them is a sure way of telling that the commercial is super fake
@@ianhamilton7840 did you ever have any doubts?
Well the eyehole man is the only man allowed to have eyeholes. If he catches anyone with his eyeholes he beats them up
@@uniboy13 GET OUTTA HERE WITH THOSE EYEHOLES
@@ianhamilton7840 actually, yes, that's exactly how they revealed it was a commercial. We were told it was a "focus group" the whole time, and they really did a pretty convincing job. Fake research companies, the whole 9 yards. The king walked through a fake door in the back wall of the room we were in.
My mom’s been interviewed by Burger King, it is fake, like before they record and eat the food they need to sign a slip. And even after that my, incredibly honest, mom told them that McDonald’s has better food
Ok
SansAziza I worked at KFC please explain what this means
@@SansAziza what-?
SansAziza What?
I like how in that first burger king ad, they "proved" that people lie to get on tv, then showed a bunch of people saying they're good. Am I the only one seeing the irony here? Lol
And now we have WHOPPER WHOPPER WHOPPER WHOPPER being literally everywhere
Did you put the other copyrighted material in the background so that if Burger King claims this video they have a copyright war with companies like Disney and NBC?
big brain 🧠
scott, you shady boy
Chess not checkers
That's smart in an odd way
I was so confused by that but it's Threat Level Midnight so can't complain
If I was walking through the street and someone handed me a chicken tender I would probably think its poisoned
Exactly. Stranger Danger isn't just for kids
Thought my store bought brownie was poisoned because it tasted better than usual, so yeah I would do the same
@@ahok3314 Hey...There's something in your brownie 😉
I would eat it
@@Stevepikeredman You're the type of person who sees a Black Van without a license plate and decide to stop it and hop in the back.
I love how for the first one, they established that their sample pool consists entirely of people who are willing to lie and say falsely positive things to be in a commercial, and then confirm to us that those same people love their food. An ingenious strategy to make me trust their reviews
1:50 as a CPhT for a health insurance I can confidently say that's exactly what they're making these pharmaceutical commercials for. I've gotten so many calls to do PA's on medications they heard about on TV but never even talked to their doctor about 🙃
I love how there's exactly one person with a blurred t-shirt in each group of people to really sell that these are real people.
I'm sorry, did you just gloss over this guy saying "I've turned Burger King into a crime scene a couple of times"?
"Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to stop injecting chloroform in the burgers."
_I've killed every man in my local Burger King_
Ikr that was sus
I know wtf was that???!
The only crime scene at a Burger King is in the bathroom after you eat their food, I know after I’ve been done at least a few of those toilets probably killed them selfs
Also, even if Burger King did find a regular person, they might be prompted to say something good because the mic *has* *the* *Burger* *King* *Logo?*
Well, I mean... Not only did they find me, a regular person... But they flew me out to LA for a few days just to torture me and make me wait for an Angry Whopper. So, like, they definitely DO find real fans...
Kevin Klika Oh! I didn’t expect that actually. Sorry you had to wait for that Angry Whopper though haha
Kevin Klika oh shit this is so meta you were my favourite character in the Burger King saga
@@buffkangaroodog If you can figure out a recipe for the angry whopper, I'll never go to the restaurant again...
I'm living for the day Scott does a full on investigative reporter video on these commercials and brings in some of the people who are in them for interviews and such
can we just acknowledge the fact that he had Michael Scott's "Threat Level Midnight" playing in the background.
Not to mention that Burger King couldn’t just serve someone an impossible burger without telling them. What if the customer had a severe allergy to one of the ingredients?
Hmm good point but I reckon the people knew that they were going to be filmed eating a burger for this ad, and beforehand they would have had to sign some document where they state any allergies.
@@clairepetersen7831 Assuming it's not fully acted which I'm not willing to concede.
They cut it out of the commercial 🤷🏻
Honestly, being a vegetarian, BK literally just had to say "we have something on our menu that ain't meat" and I'd show up. Enough with the theatrics, Mr. King.
exactly. they really didn’t need all the extra annoyances
Lol right before this video I got an ad for BK that included the cow fart situation. Dont know if it actually mentioned any vegetarian stuff.
Exactly lol tbh I was super hyped when I found out they were testing the impossible whoppers before they released them nationwide bc I don’t have access to impossible burgers where I live, but the commercials were hella annoying. + I acknowledge the fact that yeah they taste like a real burger to ME, who hasn’t had meat in two years now, but idk if meat eaters think it’s as amazing as we do lol
Not a vegetarian but yes!!! I agree!!!
theyve always had veggie burgers but they kinda hid them
When I worked at Burger King, I was embarrassed because of their ads. I couldn't believe they were being paid more then me, to do a job that was so much worse then what I was doing.
Pov you watching it in 2023, and the only thing you can sing is…
EAT LIKE A KING WHOS ON A BUDGET 😎
3 TASTY OPTIONS FRIES DRINK AND NUGGETS
The only thing I’ve ever seen my father get passionate about it how Burger King has gone downhill, he talks about it literally every time a burger is mentioned
That is such a wholesomely random thing to be passionate about I love it lol
Honestly it has. And I’m a vegetarian. The only thing I ever eat from them is fries and I swear they’re not teaching people how to season and cook shit right because it’s always underdone fries that taste like nothing
@@aleksandrafurczon6717 Something has dramatically changed with the fries in the past couple of decades. As a kid they were my absolute favorite and now they are probably my least favorite out of all the chains. It isn't just nostalgia either, everyone I've mentioned this to has an "oh yeah" moment.
Still the best fast food place here in England
@@aleksandrafurczon6717 Dude! I was soooo excited when BK started serving the impossible burger but I couldn't even finish it🤮 i was so sad because finally a vegan burger I could get when me and my friends get fast food but it didn't do Beyond justice but I got it at Carl's and o.m.g it actually tastes like a burger!
As someone who is allergic to some of the ingredients in an Impossible Wopper, if they gave me one and said it was a normal one I would go full on Karen to that restaurant
I was thinking that when he showed the commercial. There's a 0% chance the legal department would let them intentionally mess with someone's order like that and give them a totally different product without their consent.
exactly omg - as someone who’s lactose intolerant stuff like this could be bad for me
OMG! I'm allergic to. This genuinely surprised me.
The ethical way to do this is to tell them that it could be the actual one or the impossible one and they have to guess lols.
*flips table*
WHOPPER WHOPPER WHOPPER WHOPPER JUNIOR DOUBLE TRIPLE WHOPPER
I love how your playing Threat Level Midnight in the background! It’s a great touch 👌😆
Burger King is the place you eat at when you’re on a road trip and there’s nothing else for miles
I used to love burger king and did what scott did to little caesars but a whopper meal
Burger King recently opened in my country more stores, so i tried it and it was horrible. Burgers didn't tasted too bad, but it was first time i felt sick after eating fast food. They are currently selling whopper for 1 euro in deal and i still wouldn't try it again. That price makes me think they are kinda desperate right now.
@@Enkabard weird I never got sick from their food
@@hypolicfitness9987 yeah sorry "recently" is more like year and half back so i don't recall exactly what made me sick, but what stood out and i remember until now were cheese nuggets, which tasted like raw dough deep fried.
So true
the commercial starts out with "lets establish that all of these people are liars" and then asked them if they thought the chicken tendies were good... seems credible lol
It feels like one of those ads that sounded good in the planning process, but didn't work out once it was produced. Like the joke got lost, or they didn't realise that gaping plot hole where they destroyed the credibility of their testimonials right off the top. But they went with it anyways.
9:40 “That’s to far Jet. Either you leave on your own or we call security.”
As a Burger King employee I just wanna say thank you for ordering politely and bringing up the coupon at the speaker 🙏🏻
"I've missed the Angry Whopper more than I've ever missed a person"
You can't say that and not have it be in a script
What would her children say
You underestimate how people feel about food. I'll murder for cheesey biscuits
I mean, I've seen my uncle punch someone in the face for a mcrib. Granted, the guy was a douchecanoe, and I might have told him to punch the guy while crying... while I was like 5, so uh....
You might say that, but it would be very concerning
I'm sad to say I really wouldn't even second guess that one. Especially in America
When the dude says that his dad pit a burger in his hand I just imagine the dad slapping a patty into his hand nothing else

"if it's not beef, I don't want it" *they cut it open and it's cake*

Why would they do that???
Rainbow Pugs probably because they were talking negatively about it and they didn’t wanna get sued for defamation

"I miss the angry whopper more than i've ever missed a person"
Said in a deadpan way
She said it so deadpan, so badly acted that it actually made me think it was could be real for a second
Lucaz99 I like to think they weren’t given exact lines, just direction, and that’s what she decided was reasonable.
This line was not provided to her, she was reading a tweet that she had tweeted @AngryWhopper almost a year earlier. She's a comedian in Minnesota. Nice person
Kevin Klika that’s actually a cool little story
I call utter bs on the ad where they secretly give people the impossible burger instead of the meat patty. it's a liability nightmare. depending on what's in the impossible burger, it's extremely unsafe to switch out a stranger's meat patty with a plant-based patty because they could have an allergic reaction, especially if it's soy-based and they have a soy allergy. never secretly substitute a stranger's food with a vegan option unless they ask you too; you don't know their health conditions and allergies
Uh huh. Yes. If, and hear me out now, IF this was real. Lmfao. Highly doubt they’d ever do that seeing as they could ya know, get a case against them for false advertising alone. Not trying to be a dick just don’t read too much into these commercials. They’re all fake and try to push humanity and reaction into a business model for profit. That’s essentially all you need to say about these trash heaps of content built into your TV but I admit, the fact alone of them possibly having an allergic reaction to something not normally in the whopper is enough to call BS, but then again there’s still vegetables unless explicitly told otherwise. Just trying to say the legitimacy of the commercials isn’t in question. There’s loads of things you could point out in them, there’s just so many things TO point out, that it isn’t worth it. They’re all fake. That’s something that won’t change.
Kain Ashford that’s why I said I’m calling bs on the commercial......I’m saying I believe it’s fake as hell and I gave one reason out of many that it’s fake
Kain Ashford I hadn’t seen anyone else point out the liability issues with this particular commercial and decided to do it myself. bringing up this point and adding to the conversation of why commercials like these are bs doesn’t make me naive. you did come off as a dick; I’m not mad bc I have more pressing things in my life to put my energy toward, but maybe think twice before talking to someone like you believe they have the intelligence of a seven year old.
“Never secretly substitute a stranger’s food with a vegan option unless they ask you to”
That’s just a specific case of “don’t lie about the food you’re giving someone”. The vegan part is irrelevant.
thy lionheart oh for sure for sure. Go out and do the way more important things you need to do. Sorry that I was sarcastic but if you take that as me being a dick towards you I’d suggest reading my comment again and watching the video you just watched again. Jokes. I point out that it’s ridiculous to give this any “serious” power. I literally said you made a good point and to not overthink it since this was 10000000% made for comedy and the WHOLE video you just watched was explaining why it’s bullshit and OBVIOUSLY faked. It’s like looking at a painting with 1,000,000+ people next to you, all of them talking about everything beautiful in the painting and you just randomly proclaiming “this painting is red” . Again. Like I said. Go ahead and do your more “pressing” things. They’re clearly important since you still had time to write this comment 🤷🏻♀️
Bro, they saw your vid they're ads are golden now like the golden arches
The fact that Threat Level Midnight is playing in the background for some reason makes this video that much better
Plot twist: he’s the guy under the Burger King mascot
The impossible whopper actually tastes really close to meat.
I kind of want to try one, I've seen a few food youtubers that tried them and said they were "pretty good"
@@darlingblue they're good if you get them fresh. I got one that must have been kinda old once, because the the consistency was NOT that of meat😂
Had one today! Was pretty good, if a little burnt
darlingblue It’s worth trying. The patty by itself is meh. But with all the toppings on it, it’s taste is still pretty much the same as a regular whopper.
username checks out
Your hilarious indignation got me to subscribe. Great video!
“I can’t sugarcoat this we are at Threat level midnight”.
The Impossible burger one HAS to be fake. They would have to know allergies and such. Because, I imagine they could get sued if they gave them a different burger and someone had like an allergic reaction
Well I mean if you signed up to take a taste test of some sort I assume you wouldn’t have any food allergies.
Also I’m pretty sure that’s illegal, and if you signed up for a taste test the business would still be required to tell you for legal reasons, also if someone did have an allergic reaction that would end in a lawsuit
I feel like they probably wouldn't have to actually inform them what the ingredients are (well, maybe if they specifically asked), just ask them to sign a statement that they have no known food allergies.
I've participated in test groups before. You're usually asked a series of many questions, and you're screened and chosen if you fit the qualifications.
@@zerro_260 If that's what you think I'm not sure you've had one. A normal veggie burger kinda tastes like that, but an Impossible Whopper pretty much tastes like a normal one, but maybe slightly overcooked.
My name is literally Chevy and when Scott aggressively said "HEY CHEVY" I wasn't paying attention and got super confused
hey chevy wsg
Very important question, have you been to the Levy before?
i gave a dislike cuz i cant bring myself to change the 69
@@justa_cool_lil_guy3681 well someone did it but the crime is you were not paying attention
Dark Angel the levee was dry though
If I was eating a sandwich and the person who made it started telling me about how hormone-free and fresh all the ingredients are, I would probably stop eating because I would suddenly be convinced that they're hiding something.
Love the “Threat Level Midnight” in the background lmao
Tbh everyone in the first BK ad probably just thought they were talking about regular ol' chicken nuggets.
I just realized one of the Burger King commercials were trying to be a Mr Beast video
Which one?
Luke Turpin the one where they wait for 4 hours to eat a whopper
I love how "Threat Level MIDNIGHT" is playing causally in the background :)
That one at 11:00 really cracks me up. Its like, that stores probably been a Burger King for the past decade or so, and those people probably pass it every other day, but they put up some paper signs and its supposed to be a new restaurant.
Burger king employee: *Drops angry whopper*
Jet: So you have chosen DEATH?
It's really impressive when in the angry whopper commercial, the dude flips over the table that had all of their microphones on it, yet the sound quality didn't change
Can confirm, that guy was an actor. I wasn't though...
Kevin Klika how would you know he was an actor..?
Jasmin Miettunen because I met him after the shoot and we talked about it...
Kevin Klika oh I thought you were just in a different ad. So you were at the same shoot, but he was an actor and you weren’t? That's weird
Jasmin Miettunen same shoot, same day, different group. They had three people in the room for each group, table guy was after mine. Met him on the ride back to the hotel and talked to him. There were a few actors, basically one actual actor per group. Kinda makes sense, you don’t schedule all yahoo’s without throwing someone in there to help push things along 🤷♂️
I can actually confirm, I've never had an impossible whopper, but I've had plant burgers like an impossible burger before, and it tasted exactly like meat, it was just a little softer in texture.
I love the office playing in the background
So I legit took part in one of these "real people" commercials for BK in the UK one time a few years back. It was a Christmas promotion filmed on Boxing Day which was all about trading in your unwanted Christmas gifts for something better, a Whopper.
Here's what i can say about them.
1: I was an actual real person they stopped on the street. Legitimately pulled aside outside their flagship store in Leicester Square. Not an actor, not paid to be there, I was a genuine passer by. I got offered a free Whopper meal to take part, and I don't think I've ever said no to free food, but otherwise not paid. In hindsight, it took about 35 minutes, while my wife and daughter were waiting outside the store on a cold winters evening, so it probably wasn't worth the free food all told.
2: I wasn't given a script, or specific talking points before filming the ad spot, and I was totally free to say whatever I wanted, and there were a lot of people taking part, so it's entirely possible that they could get the kind of reactions they wanted simply by asking enough people, and hand picking the ones that work best. The only instruction we got was something to the effect of "you won't hear us asking you questions during the ad, so make sure you answer in a way that makes sense on its own"...
3: That said, there was nothing at all real about the situation. The unwanted "Christmas gifts" were handed to us by the production team, the way some questions were phrased made it clear that there were words and phrases they wanted us to use in the answers, and if you had half a brain, you would pick up on this quickly, otherwise, they would keep asking the same questions over and over again in slightly different ways until you gave them the kind of sound bite they were looking for, and there was a whole section of the restaurant (one of the busiest in the country, at one of the busiest times of the year) that was set aside just for people taking part in the commercial. We had a dedicated queue line, with members of the production team filling out the line, a dedicated seating area where they could film us reacting, and a lot of real estate both inside and outside of the restaurant that was set aside for the film crew. I may have been a "real person, not actor" but everything around me was totally staged. I think everyone who took part was probably being what magicians would call "instant stooges" and playing along, even if we were technically not actors, and technically not given specific lines.
4: The unwanted Christmas gift I was given was some kind of chocolate reindeer thing. It seemed pretty good to me -- chocolate is chocolate -- but they seemed to be suggesting it was a crap gift, so I went with it. I guess the talking point they wanted was that the thing that made this crap was that it was a thoughtless present -- the person who gave it to me should have known I don't like chocolate, and if they really knew me they would have got me something i really like... like a whopper... but they kept pushing me on specifically why I didn't like this chocolate, but also didn't want me to mention the brand of the chocolate which was kinda confusing to me. I ended up making something up about them buying me milk chocolate even though I am allergic to dairy -- I'm not, but it seemed to make them happy -- right before they filmed me taking a huge bite out of a Whopper covered in cheese! I think the irony was lost on them, but i thought it was funny! I don't know if they ever used my spot... it was an online campaign, and though i saw some other versions of it, i never saw mine. I'm kinda hopeful that they didn't because some editor somewhere realized how insane it was for someone to say "I'm alergic to dairy" then smash cut to a close up of a cheesy burger being eaten by that same person.
this is actually really interesting thank you for sharing
Ohh
im laughing at the irony
Why did your wife and kid have to wait outside? Seems silly of them to wait outside in the cold for so long.
Lmao someone in production must've seen the irony
My ex broke up with me to move to LA to be an actor and his “claim to fame” is being in a BK commercial.. 👌
Must be awful to watch him climb to the top after leaving you
Well, everyone needs to start from somewhere. Why not from a BK commercial.. 🤷
@@toketoke9479 people make an okay living being only in commercials. You can even survive off of being an extra. Not a terrible life, honestly. They aren't rich, but they can pay rent. At the end of the day, who cares if someone is famous or not?
Sucks to be you then I guess
@@GlitterC8k Oh, I didn't know that they paid well/ok. 👍 I was just assumming that somebody who moves to LA to pursue acting, maybe wants to end up in Hollywood, or something like that and they may as well start from a BK commercial there.
Love how you have threat level midnight playing in the background lol 😂 awesome
I love that 'Threat level: Midnight' is playing in the background
Going to order an impossible burger and say “I can’t believe it’s just imitation human flesh”
@Sean Wilkinson BOGUSBOVINE💀💀💀
I love that "Threat Level Midnight" is playing in the background.
Honestly I just started watching that I. The background instead of the actual video lol
@@dumpling0079 that is so lit man with a Gus Johnson profile pic
Yep
After it ended, it was avengers endgame
@@gabecube_8894 yes I know, I saw (most people unlike me click off the video after the first minute and "Threat Level Midnight" was in the background during that time.)
I LOVE the fact that Threat Level Midnight is playing in the background.
Love that Threat Level Midnight playing in the background
That transition from refusing to get the whopper to getting the whopper was hilarious
The only time I ever go to Burger King is when the line at Wendy's and McDonald's is too long. Giving birth to the slogan I'd like to offer to their advertising department: "There's never a line at Burger King."
😂
this lmao i got lunch before work at hungry jacks (australian burger king) the other day ONLY because the lines at kfc and mcdonalds were too long
I love how you just have threat level midnight in the background 🤣
