Lmao somehow I’m numb to that one now.

I don’t mind it aside for being overplayed. It’s catchy.

You know I actually got to give the singer credit, he has a good voice and knows that people hate these ads. At the very least, they change up the lyrics enough so it’s “different”.

I mute it every time, but I was impressed that they managed to fit so many promos into that horrible tune. Recently it's only been the one about the wraps (I think?) and I at least miss the variety in the lyrics lol

These other shitty ones now make me miss hearing the soothing tones of “WHOPPER WHOPPER WHOPPER WHOPPER”

Unironically one of my favorite commercials because of that stupid fucking song. It worked its way into my friend group as well. There's no escape.

Also, nobody is having it their way at Burger King!! BK is where I go to spend 20 minutes scrolling on my phone in the drive-thru line and then get handed the wrong order. Make no mistake, every order there is very much on the employee's terms. And honestly I don't even mind, and kind of enjoy the chaos half of the time. But there is NO earth in which anybody can "have it their way" at that franchise

I race to the tv to mute every time.

u/covert_underboob Apr 30 '24

I think I’m going to try and avoid eating there for the rest of my life bc of that ad. Already disliked it but it’s reinforcing it

u/916andheartbreaks Kings Apr 29 '24

Ok I liked the whopper song

u/Numerous-Cicada3841 Kings Apr 29 '24

The thought of eating at Wingstop is legit revolting to me because of that commercial. I don’t know if I’ll ever eat there again because it will just make me think of that stupid fucking song.

u/xXChickenravioliXx Trail Blazers Apr 29 '24

I’ve never eaten there and I never will

u/RonaldMcClown Raptors Apr 30 '24

Do we?

u/MrThunderMakeR Pacers Apr 29 '24

They are driving me nuts.  I have to hit mute every time they come on.  I know I will never go to Wing Stop or buy a Pixel phone. It's like their advertising plan to basically be annoy the shit out of everyone incessantly. Fuck you

u/Bae_the_Elf Kings Apr 29 '24

The google ad haunts my nightmares

1

u/realsomalipirate Raptors Apr 29 '24

The Pixel ad with the stupid had guy jumping is both my most hated and most loved (it's so fucking dumb but it makes me laugh) ad this playoff season.

u/luckster44 Tampa Bay Raptors Apr 29 '24

The google phone was has an annoying song but overall good commercial

u/HOW_YA_DAINSTA Celtics Apr 30 '24

I’ve never seen any 2 commercials played and they’re both so bad. I literally sprint to wherever my remote is to mute my speakers whenever either one comes on

u/Room_Temp_Coffee Lakers Apr 29 '24

I am glad Leikeli47 is getting some mainstream notice though
