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.

    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.

    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

      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.

    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.

    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

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 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.

      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 🤷🏻‍♀️

    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.
