Cowboy Darius' (Hootie) BK Commercial

Dave Walker

Every time I see this commercial I crack up. Darius of Hootie and the Blowfish is dressed up like a fancy movie cowboy playing a song on his guitar with the tune of BIG ROCK CANDY MOUNTAIN but lyrics about Burger King. There are big hair white girl cowgirls pretending to eat monster burgers picked off of a tree and black cowboys sitting down pretending to eat giant burgers. It's just nuts LOL. Rolling on Floor Laughing

The first time I seen it I thought it was Tiger Woods eating hamburgers. I did recognize the tune of Big Rock Candy Mountain but stuff happened so fast I didn't see that it was Hootie a singin an a pickin. Adder it was over my mind said hold on thar bud, that was somebody famous an I got to thinkin about it. Then it come to me that it was Hootie. I went to work the next day an one of the bosses come by an I asked him if he had seen Hootie an Tiger Woods singin about Burger King an he fell out a laughin.

You can tell Darius is about to crack up himself. It's a great commercial. I love it, even the corny king!

the "KING" in the backround pushing (Carmen Elektra) the girl on the swing creeps me out a bit. I think this commercial is dumb...but my husband literally laughs out load every time he sees it.

Duh

That is pretty funny stuff! But btw that's not Carmen Electra on the swing. That's Brooke Burke who is hotter by orders of magnitude than Carmen Electra!
