I think you’re seeing this commercial too much like a marketing guy.
I also shouldn’t have watched it right after posting on http://www.unhappyfranchisee.com.
I may be a little sensitive to the whole failed business owner thing, too.
But they have mastered creepy. All the way back to the BK “Where’s Herb?” campaign, which is one of Ad Age’s worst-ever commercials.

I think you’re seeing this commercial too much like a marketing guy. Turn off this part of your brain for a second and you will enjoy this commercial. Like you, I sometimes feel a bit creeped out by BK commercial (the BK guy just gives me the creeeeeeps) but this commercial made me laugh. I saw the video without knowing what it was about and I was really wondering what the ending would be an dmore importantly who the advertiser was. I think they did a good job. Still, i’m not gonna stop by BK to buy this ice crean. I like my Ben & Jerry’s Americone Dream too much ;-)
