Creepy ad campaigns... should not be reincarnated...

[salin]

just saw that creepy six flags ad/dude. What are they thinking?

[short bus president]

1. I remember him from last summer.

The old guy? Yeah - creepy.

At least he's not trying to sell you food, tho.

[salin]

2. but if he shows up in person

don't let any kids in the family take candy...

of food - remember that creepy (but rather amusing) internet chicken ad that Burger king did last year? I think it was www.subservientchicken.com (or something like that) Creepy and selling food...

[SmileyBoy]

3. I seem to be the only one who liked him.

I thought he looked cool. I know I'm in the minority...

4. Wasn't there a rumor that he was really a woman...

Did anyone ever find out for sure?

Creepy indead...

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

5. OMG! That guy is the freakiest freak that ever freaked! But I heard

it's a woman!! :o

[salin]

7. to cyndie and longgrain... I had never heard

the woman angle... now I have to watch the next time the freaky thing comes back on - to try to discern... dangit.

[Longgrain]

21. I read it on several internet message boards...that there was a rumor

That Mr Six was really a female dancer in padding and heavy prosthetic make-up...

Yes creepy indeed...

24. well that would explain why the creepy ad is back

going for the buzzzzzzzzzzz factor.

[salin]

8. oops dupe post

nevermind.

6. The "Wake up with the King" BK ads

:scared:

[salin]

I don't remember those - but from BK

I still think that this internet campaign is a tad bit creepy ...

http://www.subservientchicken.com/ Try it out - type commands and the chicken obeys...

[Zuni]

11. bad, bad

do they really have a guy in a chicken suit there, on call?

[salin]

14. If they do

he's been on call for more than a year...

think it is a series of video clips and a little AI.

[Zuni]

15. well......

I tested the chicken by asking him to 1. Dance an Irish Jig, and he did. 2. I asked the chicken to masturbate and he made a no-no sign with his hands

[salin]

18. play your cards... er commands.. right

and the chicken will lunge at the camera - hitting hyped creepy level - and go nuts... that is its extreme no no bad computer user message...

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

20.

:wtf: That was the weirdest thing EVER!!!!!!!!!!

[salin]

22. so bizzarre

that it deserves to be trotted back out everynow and again.

The oddest thing - is that it was about corporate promotion - huh?

[last_texas_dem]

23. Haha

Those were definitely creepy! I thought they were kinda funny, though... in a creepy way, of course. :-)

9. When McDonalds had the Ham-murderer instead of the Hamburglar

the felon who killed for McDonalds ham burgers started a nation wide killing spree.

The whole Wendy's "Find the Finger" prize game also was one ad campaign I could do without.

:hide:

[salin]

10. *snicker*

I also found the fry the bird in person campaign of KFC a tad unpleasant.

[Zuni]

13. It beat their "behead the chicken in person"

campaign

[salin]

16. true... it got a little messy

when the kids kept trying to chase the chickens running around with their heads cut off...

Now the See if the dominos delivery dude has car crash in 8 minutes or less campaign - now that was an ad campaign...

[Liberal Veteran]

12. Anything that involved the phrase "not so fresh feeling"...

...in regards to certain hygiene products.

[salin]

17. the first time I saw one of those

while I was in the tv room of my brother's fraternity (I was a bit younger than the guys), I wanted to disappear. Just waiting for the comments. Ugh.

19. "Chunk Chunk Chicken!!"

Oh, good Lord...my eardrums are melting...
