My OperaThings That Piss Me Off: This Burger King commercial I just saw
Sunday, April 5, 2009 11:29:48 PM
Been busy graduating, finding a job, etc. Blah blah blah.
There have been very few times I have been this horrified. I'm not enthusiastic about flying in an airplane or going out in a (relatively) small boat but what I just saw on my TV was on that level, only because it combined a couple of things I truly hate.
Exhibit A) The Burger King guy. That plastic, life-size king guy with the mustache and the sinister-looking smile. I hate that thing so much. It scares me so much.
Exhibit B) SpongeBob SquarePants. SpongeBob represents everything wrong with the direction American animation has gone in the past 15+ years. I have only laughed at it once and it was only because of something the squid guy said. The other characters are nowhere near funny at all. But mostly, it's that laugh of his. Oh God. If Tom Kenny never got involved with Rocko's Modern Life or Futurama but did get involved with SpongeBob, he'd be high on my Kill List. SpongeBob could be a whole other entry; maybe next time.
Exhibit C) A new Burger King commercial that features both Exhibit A and Exhibit B. My hatred for this goes up exponentially. Not to mention that my eyes need a thorough cleaning, although I have no prospects of hope to ever get the images that commercial burned into my eyes.
