The King is back! A lot of the Burger King ads with the King have missed the mark, but I’m a big fan of the new “reverse pick pocket” ads running right now. Intended to promote the new BK wrappers, they are humorous and a fun way to get across the point of saving money.

I LOVE this commercial! I was so proud of BK, especially because McD’s has become so pathetic lately, trying desperately to target what they believe is the “hip hop crowd.”
And now I want a Whopper. Thanks a lot.
