Crummy ad Budget or Crummy ad Agency?

One has to wonder if Burger King have a crummy ad budget or just a crummy ad agency.  Do they have to take situations that leave us perplexed with thier attitudes towards people and put them in their ads?  Burger King came out with another ridiculous ad (Burger King EMS Paramedic breakfast). 

First, it was okay to teach children to steal, not the people charged with responding to emergencies are entitled to have breakfast instead of taking care of an injured person? Simply classless.  A little manner would be nice.  I have provided links to other ads by Burger King below.  Let me know what you think.

  1. I think that these BK commercials are pretty bad and annoying but most of the time the bad ones get the best response as you are more likely to remember it. Which good or bad they add to the brands message.

  2. I agree, I often find myself asking, what were they thinking? BK really has had some interesting ads that typically offer a character or catchy tune that seemingly sticks in our memories. Whether there ads are good or bad, I do think they are memorable, although not in an educational sense. I think BK could really re-align their ads in a more positive sense.

  3. I think these cheesy ads (pardon the pun) are by design. I hate them but every one is talking about them, including us students! Is it idiotic or ingenious, I am wanting one as I type this and think it is idiotic but I am one man!!
