Hootie and the Burger King Commercial

Or a footlong tuna and it has about the same amount of fat as a Whopper.

Ok, the Whopper comparison made it kinda on-topic again...

 

Who cares about Hootie, Brooke Burke or the Cryboy Cheerleaders.

Bottom line. The Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch kicks all KINDS of ass! Ranks right up there with JIB Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburgers and Hardee's Monster Burgers.

 

I care, sir. I care. And I won't have you sullying (is that a real word? -- it SOUNDS right) her good name!

 

This commerical is brilliant in the same way that the Quiznos "sponge monkey" commerical was brilliant. First people go "huh". Then they start thinking about cheeseburgers. I know when I first saw those spongemonkeys, I though why would anyone selling food want to associate their product with a deformed singing rat. But the commerical got my attention, then I noticed that the toasted sandwiches looked really good, then I went to Quiznos and tried one. Yummy.

 

Oh yeah- And Brook Burke is a babe.

 

I think Hootie was overplayed but I still like their music. I like their music because it is timeless in the way John Mellancamp's music is timeless. They use a lot of acoustic instruments and Darius has an awesome voice. They arent flashy and seem like normal people. Hootie is definitely one of my very favorite bands and I hope that they do make a comeback. Cracked Rear View and Fairweather Johnson are albums that I can listen to start to finish and like every song.

 

I was a little disappointed that Darius, er Hootie, didn't sing in his trademark voice.

 

And oddly enough both used the same producer Don Gehman.

Since his failed R&B record, Darius hasn't used the trademark voice at all.

Apparently he went into the studio with Trick Pony and recorded a song called "Sad City". He's got a "twang" to his voice. Their lead singer says he sings country better than most country artists. We'll see...

 

that's not HIS VOICE? Get Ashley Simpson's agent!

I always wondered about that voice... "I Only Wanna Be With YouUUUUUU...

 

Is that really her...Hell I can't tell, but "VIDA" spelled out on her ass does make you wonder, but she looks different in the face, althought didn't stare that direction too long...

Brooke has gone down hill, but really, does it matter...She's still hot...

 

Good commercial, but the fries at BK suck which is why I rarely eat there. Good Burgers though

 

I think the commercial is hilarious --- though not as hilarious as the one where the guy is in bed with the King.

 

Same here. Not to mention the one closest to me is completely disgusting. Some old man was arrested there for taking a 14-year old male prostitute to have something to eat. Plus, the last time I was there, some extremely gross transvestite was working the drive-thru.

 

I like the Taco's.

 

Out here in Cali, they cut out the part about the Cowboy cheerleaders (they still have them kicking near the end).

 

Heck, I respect him more for having a little fun and making a few bucks {though I was never a big fan}. I guess I am in the minority in that it doesn't bother me to hear old Zeppelin tunes or Stones used to shill luxury cars or whatever.

I also don't mind when a good actor takes a role in a bad movie for $ { like when you see James Earl Jones in a Best of the Best movie}

I do object a little when someone like Robert DeNiro takes 10 years off of putting out any decent work to w**** for money...but hey its his reputation.

 

I just saw this posted on google. Now this is funny

Darius Rucker, lead singer of the popular 90's group Hootie and the Blowfish, lashed out Saturday at fans, critics, and Ronald McDonald.

Rucker, who was enjoying the St. Patrick's Day Festival in Columbia, South Carolina, became agitated when fans taunted him about his most recent endeavor, a commercial for Burger King. In the commercial, Rucker is seen in a purple cowboy costume, singing about the new sandwich at Burger King, "The Tender Crisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch."

"I'm really sick of people giving me grief!" exclaimed Rucker Saturday. "What's the big deal? Some guy dresses up as a purple dinosaur for a living and I doubt you guys ride him about it!" After pausing for a second, a calmer Rucker explained, "You guys quit buying our albums and now I'm just trying to build up a nest-egg for my daughter's college fund. I mean, seriously, can't a guy provide for his family anymore?"

Following his initial comments, Rucker's friends were able to pull him away from the growing crowd. However, this sojourn would only last momentarily. After a few "green" beers at the Budweiser truck, Rucker returned to engage the onlookers yet again, this time more intoxicated.

"You guys are full of [expletive deleted]!" shouted Rucker. "You should be happy that Burger King is trying something new on TV. Aren't you sick of those tired McDonald's ads? How many times can you stomach Yao Ming or Justin Timberlake slinging burgers in your face?

"The King is where it's at," exclaimed Rucker. "The King and I could take anyone that clown Ronald McDonald could pair up with. ANYONE!"

Embarrassed, Rucker's friends grabbed him and escorted him from the festival. When questioned about the incident, Rucker's publicist would only say that he's been out of town and would return calls next week.

While the McDonald's Corporation refused to comment on the record, commercial star Ronald McDonald offered reporters his views on the incident.

"Hootie wants a piece of me? That's just funny," remarked McDonald. "Perhaps the Fry Guys, Grimace and I should pay him a visit and see how tough he's talking then?"

 

Can anyone help me out here? That song (the one in the commercial) is based off of another song..........but I can't flipping remember what it is, and it's driving me nuts!!!!!!!!!

Obviously (or maybe not), it's not some pop, top 40 song. Hell, it might be something like off the O' Brother, where art thou soundtrack.

I just need to know.

So I can sleep tonight.
