Burger King’s Fantastically Creepy King Mascot Is Back

Have you been counting the days until Burger King’s terribly creepy “King” mascot re-appeared in the brand’s ads? It seems unlikely that any potential customers missed the King, and he’s possibly been slumming behind the counter of a Taco Bell since his spots stopped airing in 2011. Here’s your warning: the King is coming back to your television. Sorry.

Our readers declared the perpetually smiling, plastic-faced King to be the second creepiest fast food mascot of all time in a poll just over a year ago so maybe it was us who guaranteed his return. Bringing back the King doesn’t just mean he quits working for other fast-food joints: it means that his re-appearance earns the chain free publicity from sites like…well, Consumerist. We’ll probably even embed the YouTube version of the 15-second ad, earning them free views.
