yeah, that wouldn't be how you say it as a normal person either, but why tf would people care about chicken with white insides, will I compare it to my teeth?
That reminds me of a political ad in Texas where they act like they’re interviewing people, but the people use the exact same, slightly odd phrasing, one after the other.
My favorite BK commercial is the “Get 8 piece nuggets for a dollar”, but the restaurant they filmed the commercial at still had the old promo on the wall that read “10 piece nuggets for a dollar”
Burger King literally showed how people lie for a camera and then gave them the chicken and they all said it was good... so, based on the commercial, they’re lying for the camera about how it’s good right?
If I was in that commercial and they called me out for lying, I'd just be like "Oh yeah you're right, it was McDonald's! My bad. Those sure were good..."
I've always thought that they all weren't lying. Either they were paid to read potentially scripted dialog act and surprised or they had the chicken nuggets and didn't know the difference (which I can't blame them for)
I was in the Impossible Whopper commercial! I’m the one talking at 11:20. The story they present in the ad is actually pretty much how it was presented to me. I signed up to do a “Impossible Restaurant” focus group, they brought us to that storefront, and then they did a countdown and then the signs went away and revealed it was Burger King. My genuine reaction was to point at the Burger King and say “It’s Burger King.” For when I say “It’s here, and its everywhere?” That was in response to them asking me how I felt about the product being available at Burger Kings everywhere.
@@vandam6057 it was coerced they asked "how do you feel about it being everywhere?" And respond "it's here and everywhere?" Not a genuine reaction just responding to a question and edited to seem as if it was a reaction
Oh my god the burgers look so fucking good in both the ads and scott's test I can't even. Looks like the ads worked on me but I don't even care because I'm just hungry rn lol
the first ad is so bad though, I see that and think “so the product is so unoriginal that people are convinced they’ve had it before” like what message are they even trying to get across? it’s so random
i didn't get it either, even if the others are pretty shitty at least they have a clear point, the chicken tender one seems like they came up with it while drunk
yeah it's the typical "they have like 5 different types of chicken things on the menu, one of those has to be what they're talking about". It's just a sign of a poorly recognizable menu and an overload of things on offer. If you have half a dozen different things that are fundamentally almost the same, of course people will say they must've had some of that at some point.
In the first ad, one of the people is a well known paid fake actor for things, mainly being a cop his name is jacobbergeractor. So do with that what u will
I love when commercials try to make people say their buzzword phrases as if they would naturally say anything about the “all white meat chicken” or “This burger is flame grilled” instead of just “This is really good. Hit’s the spot.”
The first ad had such a weird concept - you're supposed to trust "real people" on the street's opinion who lied to help burger king like 3 seconds ago. Who thought of this??
So by "disguised their burger" they just made it like how it looks on the ads and not the slap job you would actually get in restaurant. I can understand how none of the people would recognize it as a burger king burger.
How would this conversation even go? “One whopper please. Oh, and could you also do a good job? Like, Burger King burgers suuuuuck, so please make it good this time, thanks.”
@@johnathanarcher6999 the fact that you have to go out of your way to ask them to make their food look presentable, instead of just doing it... You don't see why that's a problem?
@@Linkbrawler9000 (I know this is kinda random) I don't know if you watched Baby Neptune as a kid, but the fish puppet that would occasionally pop out on the screen from the void scared the living crap out of me lol...
If they were gonna go with this "real people, real reactions" angle, I wonder if they'd have been better off actually going fully real by marketing an "impossible challenge" where you basically do what Scott did: you get a normal whopper and an impossible whopper and they're wrapped the same and you try to tell the difference. You could put numbers on the wrappers and include a card saying which is which inside the bag or something. Then try to promote it as a tiktok challenge. I feel like teenagers on tiktok would go for that, posting their reaction of trying to tell which is which, and all the reactions actually would be real instead of the fake real thing they have going on now. And I think you'd have way more people trying the impossible burger who otherwise never would, people who would normally never order a meat substitute burger but end up doing it for the challenge because they're so sure they can tell the difference. Like other commenters have said, this video is a better ad than the actual BK commercials, so why not just do that on purpose lol
Well, I mean... Not only did they find me, a regular person... But they flew me out to LA for a few days just to torture me and make me wait for an Angry Whopper. So, like, they definitely DO find real fans...
Did you put the other copyrighted material in the background so that if Burger King claims this video they have a copyright war with companies like Disney and NBC?
The only crime scene at a Burger King is in the bathroom after you eat their food, I know after I’ve been done at least a few of those toilets probably killed them selfs
Not to mention that Burger King couldn’t just serve someone an impossible burger without telling them. What if the customer had a severe allergy to one of the ingredients?
Hmm good point but I reckon the people knew that they were going to be filmed eating a burger for this ad, and beforehand they would have had to sign some document where they state any allergies.
Fun Fact: The Burger King costume does not have any “eye holes,” so the Burger King has to slowly be directed on where to go and is helped by employees to make sure he doesn’t hit anything. At 7:05 you can see him accidentally hit the guy’s shoulder. Also this is why the burger king never moves much during the commercials.
@@ianhamilton7840 actually, yes, that's exactly how they revealed it was a commercial. We were told it was a "focus group" the whole time, and they really did a pretty convincing job. Fake research companies, the whole 9 yards. The king walked through a fake door in the back wall of the room we were in.
No the thing that annoys me is that they are highlighting the fact that chargers are annoying, but their product still uses a charger, just has a longer batterie life or whatever. It's fucking pointless
Ah yes, a fancy burger that you can't order temperature on. Only the most elite burger establishments will refuse your request for a half decent medium rare burger. I also love that his pitch includes it being 100% beef and the tomatos being cut that day. If that wasn't an unspoken implication at a restaurant, I would be very concerned.
My mom’s been interviewed by Burger King, it is fake, like before they record and eat the food they need to sign a slip. And even after that my, incredibly honest, mom told them that McDonald’s has better food
Legend has it, Burger King Execs saw Scott's vid here, took such harsh criticism and made the beautiful "whopper whopper whopper whopper" jingle commercial that's poppin now
I mean, I've seen my uncle punch someone in the face for a mcrib. Granted, the guy was a douchecanoe, and I might have told him to punch the guy while crying... while I was like 5, so uh....
The only thing I’ve ever seen my father get passionate about it how Burger King has gone downhill, he talks about it literally every time a burger is mentioned
Honestly it has. And I’m a vegetarian. The only thing I ever eat from them is fries and I swear they’re not teaching people how to season and cook shit right because it’s always underdone fries that taste like nothing
@@aleksandrafurczon6717 Something has dramatically changed with the fries in the past couple of decades. As a kid they were my absolute favorite and now they are probably my least favorite out of all the chains. It isn't just nostalgia either, everyone I've mentioned this to has an "oh yeah" moment.
@@aleksandrafurczon6717 Dude! I was soooo excited when BK started serving the impossible burger but I couldn't even finish it🤮 i was so sad because finally a vegan burger I could get when me and my friends get fast food but it didn't do Beyond justice but I got it at Carl's and o.m.g it actually tastes like a burger!
I was super upset when they got rid of the Angry whopper. Then a BK worker just told me to get a regular whopper with jalapenos and I was happy again lol
I did, totally worth it. The "I miss angry whopper more than I've ever missed a person" girl was very friendly, though she did eventually block me on Facebook... 👀
@@moonlightblue9196 sure did. But in return I got a 3 day trip to LA, two of the most perfect Angry Whoppers you've ever seen, and grossed about $13k in royalties... So, definitely worth it!
The Impossible burger one HAS to be fake. They would have to know allergies and such. Because, I imagine they could get sued if they gave them a different burger and someone had like an allergic reaction
Also I’m pretty sure that’s illegal, and if you signed up for a taste test the business would still be required to tell you for legal reasons, also if someone did have an allergic reaction that would end in a lawsuit
I feel like they probably wouldn't have to actually inform them what the ingredients are (well, maybe if they specifically asked), just ask them to sign a statement that they have no known food allergies.
I've participated in test groups before. You're usually asked a series of many questions, and you're screened and chosen if you fit the qualifications.
@@zerro_260 If that's what you think I'm not sure you've had one. A normal veggie burger kinda tastes like that, but an Impossible Whopper pretty much tastes like a normal one, but maybe slightly overcooked.
THESE MAKE ME SO MAD ! the girl literally said she hates burger king. if you've ever eaten burger king before, you KNOW the burgers have a specific "taste" to it. the whopper tastes like....a whopper. no burger from a restaurant has that *flavour*
I always think it’s funny when fast food commercials ask people things like “what if I told you you were eating a Burger King burger?” It is essentially Burger King admitting that everyone’s expectations of their own food is already terrible, and that they should expect to hate it unless tricked into eating it…
So I legit took part in one of these "real people" commercials for BK in the UK one time a few years back. It was a Christmas promotion filmed on Boxing Day which was all about trading in your unwanted Christmas gifts for something better, a Whopper. Here's what i can say about them. 1: I was an actual real person they stopped on the street. Legitimately pulled aside outside their flagship store in Leicester Square. Not an actor, not paid to be there, I was a genuine passer by. I got offered a free Whopper meal to take part, and I don't think I've ever said no to free food, but otherwise not paid. In hindsight, it took about 35 minutes, while my wife and daughter were waiting outside the store on a cold winters evening, so it probably wasn't worth the free food all told. 2: I wasn't given a script, or specific talking points before filming the ad spot, and I was totally free to say whatever I wanted, and there were a lot of people taking part, so it's entirely possible that they could get the kind of reactions they wanted simply by asking enough people, and hand picking the ones that work best. The only instruction we got was something to the effect of "you won't hear us asking you questions during the ad, so make sure you answer in a way that makes sense on its own"... 3: That said, there was nothing at all real about the situation. The unwanted "Christmas gifts" were handed to us by the production team, the way some questions were phrased made it clear that there were words and phrases they wanted us to use in the answers, and if you had half a brain, you would pick up on this quickly, otherwise, they would keep asking the same questions over and over again in slightly different ways until you gave them the kind of sound bite they were looking for, and there was a whole section of the restaurant (one of the busiest in the country, at one of the busiest times of the year) that was set aside just for people taking part in the commercial. We had a dedicated queue line, with members of the production team filling out the line, a dedicated seating area where they could film us reacting, and a lot of real estate both inside and outside of the restaurant that was set aside for the film crew. I may have been a "real person, not actor" but everything around me was totally staged. I think everyone who took part was probably being what magicians would call "instant stooges" and playing along, even if we were technically not actors, and technically not given specific lines. 4: The unwanted Christmas gift I was given was some kind of chocolate reindeer thing. It seemed pretty good to me -- chocolate is chocolate -- but they seemed to be suggesting it was a crap gift, so I went with it. I guess the talking point they wanted was that the thing that made this crap was that it was a thoughtless present -- the person who gave it to me should have known I don't like chocolate, and if they really knew me they would have got me something i really like... like a whopper... but they kept pushing me on specifically why I didn't like this chocolate, but also didn't want me to mention the brand of the chocolate which was kinda confusing to me. I ended up making something up about them buying me milk chocolate even though I am allergic to dairy -- I'm not, but it seemed to make them happy -- right before they filmed me taking a huge bite out of a Whopper covered in cheese! I think the irony was lost on them, but i thought it was funny! I don't know if they ever used my spot... it was an online campaign, and though i saw some other versions of it, i never saw mine. I'm kinda hopeful that they didn't because some editor somewhere realized how insane it was for someone to say "I'm alergic to dairy" then smash cut to a close up of a cheesy burger being eaten by that same person.
It's really impressive when in the angry whopper commercial, the dude flips over the table that had all of their microphones on it, yet the sound quality didn't change
Jasmin Miettunen same shoot, same day, different group. They had three people in the room for each group, table guy was after mine. Met him on the ride back to the hotel and talked to him. There were a few actors, basically one actual actor per group. Kinda makes sense, you don’t schedule all yahoo’s without throwing someone in there to help push things along 🤷♂️
As someone who is allergic to some of the ingredients in an Impossible Wopper, if they gave me one and said it was a normal one I would go full on Karen to that restaurant
I was thinking that when he showed the commercial. There's a 0% chance the legal department would let them intentionally mess with someone's order like that and give them a totally different product without their consent.
1:50 as a CPhT for a health insurance I can confidently say that's exactly what they're making these pharmaceutical commercials for. I've gotten so many calls to do PA's on medications they heard about on TV but never even talked to their doctor about 🙃
I call utter bs on the ad where they secretly give people the impossible burger instead of the meat patty. it's a liability nightmare. depending on what's in the impossible burger, it's extremely unsafe to switch out a stranger's meat patty with a plant-based patty because they could have an allergic reaction, especially if it's soy-based and they have a soy allergy. never secretly substitute a stranger's food with a vegan option unless they ask you too; you don't know their health conditions and allergies
Uh huh. Yes. If, and hear me out now, IF this was real. Lmfao. Highly doubt they’d ever do that seeing as they could ya know, get a case against them for false advertising alone. Not trying to be a dick just don’t read too much into these commercials. They’re all fake and try to push humanity and reaction into a business model for profit. That’s essentially all you need to say about these trash heaps of content built into your TV but I admit, the fact alone of them possibly having an allergic reaction to something not normally in the whopper is enough to call BS, but then again there’s still vegetables unless explicitly told otherwise. Just trying to say the legitimacy of the commercials isn’t in question. There’s loads of things you could point out in them, there’s just so many things TO point out, that it isn’t worth it. They’re all fake. That’s something that won’t change.
Kain Ashford that’s why I said I’m calling bs on the commercial......I’m saying I believe it’s fake as hell and I gave one reason out of many that it’s fake
Kain Ashford I hadn’t seen anyone else point out the liability issues with this particular commercial and decided to do it myself. bringing up this point and adding to the conversation of why commercials like these are bs doesn’t make me naive. you did come off as a dick; I’m not mad bc I have more pressing things in my life to put my energy toward, but maybe think twice before talking to someone like you believe they have the intelligence of a seven year old.
“Never secretly substitute a stranger’s food with a vegan option unless they ask you to” That’s just a specific case of “don’t lie about the food you’re giving someone”. The vegan part is irrelevant.
thy lionheart oh for sure for sure. Go out and do the way more important things you need to do. Sorry that I was sarcastic but if you take that as me being a dick towards you I’d suggest reading my comment again and watching the video you just watched again. Jokes. I point out that it’s ridiculous to give this any “serious” power. I literally said you made a good point and to not overthink it since this was 10000000% made for comedy and the WHOLE video you just watched was explaining why it’s bullshit and OBVIOUSLY faked. It’s like looking at a painting with 1,000,000+ people next to you, all of them talking about everything beautiful in the painting and you just randomly proclaiming “this painting is red” . Again. Like I said. Go ahead and do your more “pressing” things. They’re clearly important since you still had time to write this comment 🤷🏻♀️
@@gabecube_8894 yes I know, I saw (most people unlike me click off the video after the first minute and "Threat Level Midnight" was in the background during that time.)
Actually I read into the pill ad thing a few years ago and apparently the US and New Zealand are the only 2 countries on earth that are allowed to show ads for pharmaceuticals
Burger King recently opened in my country more stores, so i tried it and it was horrible. Burgers didn't tasted too bad, but it was first time i felt sick after eating fast food. They are currently selling whopper for 1 euro in deal and i still wouldn't try it again. That price makes me think they are kinda desperate right now.
@@hypolicfitness9987 yeah sorry "recently" is more like year and half back so i don't recall exactly what made me sick, but what stood out and i remember until now were cheese nuggets, which tasted like raw dough deep fried.
Little Caesar’s was the type of pizza that you’d get when you were fried with your friends in high school and you’d go to the connected gas station and get a giant slushee for $0.89
Or when you had to buy pizza for everyone at your sleepover but you were lower middle class so you couldn’t spend much money on food and a liter of soda
I'm living for the day Scott does a full on investigative reporter video on these commercials and brings in some of the people who are in them for interviews and such
The only time I ever go to Burger King is when the line at Wendy's and McDonald's is too long. Giving birth to the slogan I'd like to offer to their advertising department: "There's never a line at Burger King."
I don't understand how Burger King is still in business... Literally every time I see a burger King even during lunch rush hour there's only a couple of cars in the lot and those are probably employees.
BK was one of three fast food options on the Air Force base I used to live on (which was about 20 minutes away from town). And the only one with a drive through. Literally the only reason ppl went there.
There's literally two burger kings in my [major] city that I know of, and there's barely ever anyone in em but like.... I fucking love burger king. Just haven't been able to eat there since my celiac diagnosis 4yrs ago 😞 I literally have said that if I get a celiac free day first thing I'm eating is a whopper 😅 (Seriously I miss them so fucking much. Also second thing I'm eating is a street vendor hot dog... Idk you tend to miss the garbage fast food when you're stuck eating nothing but trendy diet food bc being gluten free is a diet trend so all the food goes in that direction... Seriously I haven't had a hot dog of any kind in years and I have to use English fucking muffins as burger buns when making em myself bc they don't fucking make gluten free ones!! Although there are some restaurants with gluten free burgers thankfully, like my absolute favourite: The Works. Now THEY have good burgers!)
Admittedly, as someone who isn't at all a vegetarian, I gave the Impossible Whopper a try and it was surprisingly good and tasted similar enough to a regular Whopper.
I tried one too and I agree, it does taste a lot like a whopper, however you need to consider that the only reason why that's possible is because the whopper is one of the blandest tasting burgers on the market. Making textured soy protein (or whatever it's made of) taste like whopper beef is an incredibly low bar to meet. Hell, the beef in a whopper already kind of tastes like a vegetarian imitation of a real burger to begin with. The real admiral part of it that I never see anyone talk about is how beef like the texture is, that's the real impressive part of it. People don't eat beef just for the texture though, the flavor is just as important, if not more, and just like a regular whopper patty, the impossible whopper tastes of nothing.
Fun fact: Burgerking pickles are not "freshly cut today" at any restaurant, they come in buckets and you essentially just dump them into a container where the employees later slosh their dirty gloves into them to throw them onto your food. The tomatos and the lettuce *are* cut same day _most_ _of_ _the_ _time._ However, if they have a mostly full container the end of the night the previous night and you come early that day, you're getting the leftover ingredients from the previous night without fail. This is why Burgerking pickles are a stringy mess and why sometimes their onions are especially foul. There's weirdness with their ketchup as well but I'll leave that an interesting secret.
Why do they always put like a pound of ketchup on your burger but then won’t give you any napkins when your drive through-ing, like I’m positive that the amount of ketchup they use is causing them more than giving us like 3 napkins, WE ASKED FOR EXTRA NAPKINS TOO BUT NOOO GOD FORBID WE GET A NORMAL AMOUNT OF NAPKINS WHEN WE AS FOR EXTRA! I’m sorry this got personal
I worked at one that was probably worse than most. The most horrid was the mayo. It wasn’t changed until used up and left out all day to harden like cheese or butter. Very disgusting. I always used the packets and still do everywhere to this day.
4:20 The thing is, they do have chicken tenders, right? Just because they weren't called "crispy chicken tenders" doesn't mean the people were lying. They probably just thought you were talking about the chicken tenders and added unnecessary bullshit adjectives to make it more enticing
I have been a vegetarian for most of my life and TBH a fast food place having a clearly vegetarian menu option is a game changer. The Impossible Whopper actually lets me pick up fast food with my friends which was something I never got to do in high school. The whopper and BK fries arent preferred, but having the opportunity to get fast foods with my friends is so nice. I like White Castle for the same reason. They have a decent veggie burger and an impossible slider now too.
I’ve also been a vegetarian my whole life and haven’t had this issue, I just tend to get the burgers with no patty or substitute beans in for meat, but I agree I like that it’s becoming more common to have vegetarian options, makes me eat more protein and less carbs.
i went vegetarian about a year ago, and having something that was similar to meat but not meat was really helpful. i think having the impossible whopper might make it easier for some people to go vegetarian, because not having fast food available is just so inconvenient. i didn't really have any strong opinions on it before but now it's my favorite fast food restaurant :)
Things I learnt from these commercials: 1.) even burger king knows they have to starve you for 4 hours to enjoy their food 2.) their whoppers don't taste like beef and are therefore indistinguishable from fake beef 😂
@@kasarina5880 I was pescatarian for about 5 years and never found that to be true but maybe its true somewhere 😂 Also I've had burger king in the year since leaving this comment and their whoppers are actually pretty good so sorry for shit talking before having one 😂
I love how for the first one, they established that their sample pool consists entirely of people who are willing to lie and say falsely positive things to be in a commercial, and then confirm to us that those same people love their food. An ingenious strategy to make me trust their reviews
This line was not provided to her, she was reading a tweet that she had tweeted @AngryWhopper almost a year earlier. She's a comedian in Minnesota. Nice person
Honestly, being a vegetarian, BK literally just had to say "we have something on our menu that ain't meat" and I'd show up. Enough with the theatrics, Mr. King.
Exactly lol tbh I was super hyped when I found out they were testing the impossible whoppers before they released them nationwide bc I don’t have access to impossible burgers where I live, but the commercials were hella annoying. + I acknowledge the fact that yeah they taste like a real burger to ME, who hasn’t had meat in two years now, but idk if meat eaters think it’s as amazing as we do lol
I like how in that first burger king ad, they "proved" that people lie to get on tv, then showed a bunch of people saying they're good. Am I the only one seeing the irony here? Lol
Yeah I kinda feel that way about Burger King, they’re so easy to rip on and then I actually have some and it’s not that bad. I’d say in terms of fast food burger king is better than little Caesar’s in the pizza game. Burger King definitely has some pretty rough items tho lol
@@monhi64 yeah lmao i agree, tbh i dont eat their burgers a lot but they’re alright, not the best but certainly not the worst where they really do good tho is their nuggets and fries. i will argue till the day i die that BK has the best nugs and fries in the fast food game like BK is really not that bad it’s just easy meme material lmao
@@alyssaturcotte9209 I feel like my BK is the exact opposite of yours, they easily have the best fast food burgers in town, but everything else is by far worse. The chicken, the fries, the shakes, everything else is worse than their competitors.
When I worked at Burger King, I was embarrassed because of their ads. I couldn't believe they were being paid more then me, to do a job that was so much worse then what I was doing.
darlingblue It’s worth trying. The patty by itself is meh. But with all the toppings on it, it’s taste is still pretty much the same as a regular whopper.
Maybe they just figured if they said they’ve had them recently, they wouldn’t be in those “real customers try Burger King for the first time” If someone asked me if I had chicken tenders, I’d think they were talking about chicken fries.
"Is it so people walk into their doctor's office and suggest to the doctor that they proscribe them Symbicort?" Yes. That's exactly. And people do just that after seeing the commercials.
I'd like to add that in the very least, the medication they're selling may already be the doctor's preferred solution for certain problems, and you'll notice that many of the health issues they advertise solutions to are more common in older people. With many of these drugs, the goal is simply to get the patient to recognize that this is an issue that is worth asking their doctor about, and upon being made aware of the problem, the doctor is already most likely to prescribe the solution they saw advertised. So in a way, the ads even generate sales amongst patients whos first instinct would still be deferring to their doctor's opinion rather than straight up asking for a drug.
I’ve actually recommended a bunch of doctors prescribe me x medication and all but once they ended up prescribing it to me. But I suppose that might be more so because they’re appropriate in the situation. One of them I suggested the doctor had never used but ended up liking it so much a bunch of the practice ended up on it.
"The tomatoes were freshly cut today." Um, okay...when today? You're essentially telling me that these ingredients have been cut open and sitting around until they could be assembled. "There's a good crunch from the lettuce and the onion." Bless his soul, the poor man had never bitten into a vegetable before. And Nostalgia Guy hasn't been to a barbeque since he was three.
When I was watching that part of the video it made me think about when I was a kid one time my mum sneaked finely chopped onion into the homemade burger patties because I hated onions. I thought it tasted gross and couldn’t eat the burger, completely ruined my dinner and then my mum told me it was because she put onion in it. I would be so angry if they swapped my burger without telling me. It doesn’t matter if it tastes the same, what if it didn’t? What if it tasted disgusting and ruined my day? What if it had something I was allergic to? I would be mad.

I've always thought that they all weren't lying. Either they were paid to read potentially scripted dialog act and surprised or they had the chicken nuggets and didn't know the difference (which I can't blame them for)

the first ad is so bad though, I see that and think “so the product is so unoriginal that people are convinced they’ve had it before” like what message are they even trying to get across? it’s so random
i didn't get it either, even if the others are pretty shitty at least they have a clear point, the chicken tender one seems like they came up with it while drunk
yeah it's the typical "they have like 5 different types of chicken things on the menu, one of those has to be what they're talking about". It's just a sign of a poorly recognizable menu and an overload of things on offer. If you have half a dozen different things that are fundamentally almost the same, of course people will say they must've had some of that at some point.
It could also be their brain making up a new memory. Brains do that sometimes.
Generic Name it’s probably them remembering the McDonalds chicken tenders they ate, but not being 100% sure where they got it from
In the first ad, one of the people is a well known paid fake actor for things, mainly being a cop his name is jacobbergeractor. So do with that what u will
everyone talking about the laptop but honestly i'm admiring all the counter space behind him. i'm jealous.
Looks like a green screen

So by "disguised their burger" they just made it like how it looks on the ads and not the slap job you would actually get in restaurant.

If they were gonna go with this "real people, real reactions" angle, I wonder if they'd have been better off actually going fully real by marketing an "impossible challenge" where you basically do what Scott did: you get a normal whopper and an impossible whopper and they're wrapped the same and you try to tell the difference. You could put numbers on the wrappers and include a card saying which is which inside the bag or something. Then try to promote it as a tiktok challenge.
I feel like teenagers on tiktok would go for that, posting their reaction of trying to tell which is which, and all the reactions actually would be real instead of the fake real thing they have going on now. And I think you'd have way more people trying the impossible burger who otherwise never would, people who would normally never order a meat substitute burger but end up doing it for the challenge because they're so sure they can tell the difference.
Like other commenters have said, this video is a better ad than the actual BK commercials, so why not just do that on purpose lol

Not to mention that Burger King couldn’t just serve someone an impossible burger without telling them. What if the customer had a severe allergy to one of the ingredients?
Hmm good point but I reckon the people knew that they were going to be filmed eating a burger for this ad, and beforehand they would have had to sign some document where they state any allergies.
@@clairepetersen7831 Assuming it's not fully acted which I'm not willing to concede.
They cut it out of the commercial 🤷🏻
"We don't know if these commercials have driven sales."
-Somebody who was driven to buy two whoppers by these commercials
Fun Fact: The Burger King costume does not have any “eye holes,” so the Burger King has to slowly be directed on where to go and is helped by employees to make sure he doesn’t hit anything. At 7:05 you can see him accidentally hit the guy’s shoulder. Also this is why the burger king never moves much during the commercials.
damn so him just randomly appearing behind them as if to surprise them is a sure way of telling that the commercial is super fake

The Impossible burger one HAS to be fake. They would have to know allergies and such. Because, I imagine they could get sued if they gave them a different burger and someone had like an allergic reaction
Well I mean if you signed up to take a taste test of some sort I assume you wouldn’t have any food allergies.
Also I’m pretty sure that’s illegal, and if you signed up for a taste test the business would still be required to tell you for legal reasons, also if someone did have an allergic reaction that would end in a lawsuit
I feel like they probably wouldn't have to actually inform them what the ingredients are (well, maybe if they specifically asked), just ask them to sign a statement that they have no known food allergies.
I've participated in test groups before. You're usually asked a series of many questions, and you're screened and chosen if you fit the qualifications.
@@zerro_260 If that's what you think I'm not sure you've had one. A normal veggie burger kinda tastes like that, but an Impossible Whopper pretty much tastes like a normal one, but maybe slightly overcooked.
THESE MAKE ME SO MAD ! the girl literally said she hates burger king. if you've ever eaten burger king before, you KNOW the burgers have a specific "taste" to it. the whopper tastes like....a whopper. no burger from a restaurant has that *flavour*
That's because restaurants make their burgers out of *food.*
Yeah they’re like broiled
I always think it’s funny when fast food commercials ask people things like “what if I told you you were eating a Burger King burger?” It is essentially Burger King admitting that everyone’s expectations of their own food is already terrible, and that they should expect to hate it unless tricked into eating it…
So I legit took part in one of these "real people" commercials for BK in the UK one time a few years back. It was a Christmas promotion filmed on Boxing Day which was all about trading in your unwanted Christmas gifts for something better, a Whopper.
Here's what i can say about them.
1: I was an actual real person they stopped on the street. Legitimately pulled aside outside their flagship store in Leicester Square. Not an actor, not paid to be there, I was a genuine passer by. I got offered a free Whopper meal to take part, and I don't think I've ever said no to free food, but otherwise not paid. In hindsight, it took about 35 minutes, while my wife and daughter were waiting outside the store on a cold winters evening, so it probably wasn't worth the free food all told.
2: I wasn't given a script, or specific talking points before filming the ad spot, and I was totally free to say whatever I wanted, and there were a lot of people taking part, so it's entirely possible that they could get the kind of reactions they wanted simply by asking enough people, and hand picking the ones that work best. The only instruction we got was something to the effect of "you won't hear us asking you questions during the ad, so make sure you answer in a way that makes sense on its own"...
3: That said, there was nothing at all real about the situation. The unwanted "Christmas gifts" were handed to us by the production team, the way some questions were phrased made it clear that there were words and phrases they wanted us to use in the answers, and if you had half a brain, you would pick up on this quickly, otherwise, they would keep asking the same questions over and over again in slightly different ways until you gave them the kind of sound bite they were looking for, and there was a whole section of the restaurant (one of the busiest in the country, at one of the busiest times of the year) that was set aside just for people taking part in the commercial. We had a dedicated queue line, with members of the production team filling out the line, a dedicated seating area where they could film us reacting, and a lot of real estate both inside and outside of the restaurant that was set aside for the film crew. I may have been a "real person, not actor" but everything around me was totally staged. I think everyone who took part was probably being what magicians would call "instant stooges" and playing along, even if we were technically not actors, and technically not given specific lines.
4: The unwanted Christmas gift I was given was some kind of chocolate reindeer thing. It seemed pretty good to me -- chocolate is chocolate -- but they seemed to be suggesting it was a crap gift, so I went with it. I guess the talking point they wanted was that the thing that made this crap was that it was a thoughtless present -- the person who gave it to me should have known I don't like chocolate, and if they really knew me they would have got me something i really like... like a whopper... but they kept pushing me on specifically why I didn't like this chocolate, but also didn't want me to mention the brand of the chocolate which was kinda confusing to me. I ended up making something up about them buying me milk chocolate even though I am allergic to dairy -- I'm not, but it seemed to make them happy -- right before they filmed me taking a huge bite out of a Whopper covered in cheese! I think the irony was lost on them, but i thought it was funny! I don't know if they ever used my spot... it was an online campaign, and though i saw some other versions of it, i never saw mine. I'm kinda hopeful that they didn't because some editor somewhere realized how insane it was for someone to say "I'm alergic to dairy" then smash cut to a close up of a cheesy burger being eaten by that same person.
this is actually really interesting thank you for sharing
Ohh
im laughing at the irony
Why did your wife and kid have to wait outside? Seems silly of them to wait outside in the cold for so long.
Lmao someone in production must've seen the irony
It's really impressive when in the angry whopper commercial, the dude flips over the table that had all of their microphones on it, yet the sound quality didn't change
Can confirm, that guy was an actor. I wasn't though...
Kevin Klika how would you know he was an actor..?
Jasmin Miettunen because I met him after the shoot and we talked about it...
Kevin Klika oh I thought you were just in a different ad. So you were at the same shoot, but he was an actor and you weren’t? That's weird
Jasmin Miettunen same shoot, same day, different group. They had three people in the room for each group, table guy was after mine. Met him on the ride back to the hotel and talked to him. There were a few actors, basically one actual actor per group. Kinda makes sense, you don’t schedule all yahoo’s without throwing someone in there to help push things along 🤷♂️
As someone who is allergic to some of the ingredients in an Impossible Wopper, if they gave me one and said it was a normal one I would go full on Karen to that restaurant
I was thinking that when he showed the commercial. There's a 0% chance the legal department would let them intentionally mess with someone's order like that and give them a totally different product without their consent.
exactly omg - as someone who’s lactose intolerant stuff like this could be bad for me
OMG! I'm allergic to. This genuinely surprised me.
The ethical way to do this is to tell them that it could be the actual one or the impossible one and they have to guess lols.
*flips table*
1:50 as a CPhT for a health insurance I can confidently say that's exactly what they're making these pharmaceutical commercials for. I've gotten so many calls to do PA's on medications they heard about on TV but never even talked to their doctor about 🙃
That transition from refusing to get the whopper to getting the whopper was hilarious
I call utter bs on the ad where they secretly give people the impossible burger instead of the meat patty. it's a liability nightmare. depending on what's in the impossible burger, it's extremely unsafe to switch out a stranger's meat patty with a plant-based patty because they could have an allergic reaction, especially if it's soy-based and they have a soy allergy. never secretly substitute a stranger's food with a vegan option unless they ask you too; you don't know their health conditions and allergies
Uh huh. Yes. If, and hear me out now, IF this was real. Lmfao. Highly doubt they’d ever do that seeing as they could ya know, get a case against them for false advertising alone. Not trying to be a dick just don’t read too much into these commercials. They’re all fake and try to push humanity and reaction into a business model for profit. That’s essentially all you need to say about these trash heaps of content built into your TV but I admit, the fact alone of them possibly having an allergic reaction to something not normally in the whopper is enough to call BS, but then again there’s still vegetables unless explicitly told otherwise. Just trying to say the legitimacy of the commercials isn’t in question. There’s loads of things you could point out in them, there’s just so many things TO point out, that it isn’t worth it. They’re all fake. That’s something that won’t change.
Kain Ashford that’s why I said I’m calling bs on the commercial......I’m saying I believe it’s fake as hell and I gave one reason out of many that it’s fake
Kain Ashford I hadn’t seen anyone else point out the liability issues with this particular commercial and decided to do it myself. bringing up this point and adding to the conversation of why commercials like these are bs doesn’t make me naive. you did come off as a dick; I’m not mad bc I have more pressing things in my life to put my energy toward, but maybe think twice before talking to someone like you believe they have the intelligence of a seven year old.
“Never secretly substitute a stranger’s food with a vegan option unless they ask you to”
That’s just a specific case of “don’t lie about the food you’re giving someone”. The vegan part is irrelevant.
thy lionheart oh for sure for sure. Go out and do the way more important things you need to do. Sorry that I was sarcastic but if you take that as me being a dick towards you I’d suggest reading my comment again and watching the video you just watched again. Jokes.

I literally said you made a good point and to not overthink it since this was 10000000% made for comedy and the WHOLE video you just watched was explaining why it’s bullshit and OBVIOUSLY faked. It’s like looking at a painting with 1,000,000+ people next to you, all of them talking about everything beautiful in the painting and you just randomly proclaiming “this painting is red” . Again. Like I said. Go ahead and do your more “pressing” things. They’re clearly important since you still had time to write this comment 🤷🏻♀️

There's literally two burger kings in my [major] city that I know of, and there's barely ever anyone in em but like.... I fucking love burger king. Just haven't been able to eat there since my celiac diagnosis 4yrs ago 😞
I literally have said that if I get a celiac free day first thing I'm eating is a whopper 😅
(Seriously I miss them so fucking much. Also second thing I'm eating is a street vendor hot dog... Idk you tend to miss the garbage fast food when you're stuck eating nothing but trendy diet food bc being gluten free is a diet trend so all the food goes in that direction... Seriously I haven't had a hot dog of any kind in years and I have to use English fucking muffins as burger buns when making em myself bc they don't fucking make gluten free ones!! Although there are some restaurants with gluten free burgers thankfully, like my absolute favourite: The Works. Now THEY have good burgers!)
Admittedly, as someone who isn't at all a vegetarian, I gave the Impossible Whopper a try and it was surprisingly good and tasted similar enough to a regular Whopper.
I tried one too and I agree, it does taste a lot like a whopper, however you need to consider that the only reason why that's possible is because the whopper is one of the blandest tasting burgers on the market. Making textured soy protein (or whatever it's made of) taste like whopper beef is an incredibly low bar to meet. Hell, the beef in a whopper already kind of tastes like a vegetarian imitation of a real burger to begin with.
The real admiral part of it that I never see anyone talk about is how beef like the texture is, that's the real impressive part of it. People don't eat beef just for the texture though, the flavor is just as important, if not more, and just like a regular whopper patty, the impossible whopper tastes of nothing.
I love the threat level midnight in the back playing.
Fun fact: Burgerking pickles are not "freshly cut today" at any restaurant, they come in buckets and you essentially just dump them into a container where the employees later slosh their dirty gloves into them to throw them onto your food. The tomatos and the lettuce *are* cut same day _most_ _of_ _the_ _time._
However, if they have a mostly full container the end of the night the previous night and you come early that day, you're getting the leftover ingredients from the previous night without fail.
This is why Burgerking pickles are a stringy mess and why sometimes their onions are especially foul.
There's weirdness with their ketchup as well but I'll leave that an interesting secret.
Lol 🤮
Why do they always put like a pound of ketchup on your burger but then won’t give you any napkins when your drive through-ing, like I’m positive that the amount of ketchup they use is causing them more than giving us like 3 napkins, WE ASKED FOR EXTRA NAPKINS TOO BUT NOOO GOD FORBID WE GET A NORMAL AMOUNT OF NAPKINS WHEN WE AS FOR EXTRA! I’m sorry this got personal
Worked at a BK can confirm you're sooo right
I worked at one that was probably worse than most. The most horrid was the mayo. It wasn’t changed until used up and left out all day to harden like cheese or butter. Very disgusting. I always used the packets and still do everywhere to this day.
I mean most places you go the pickles are pre cut from a bucket. But ya the dirty gloves thing is gross.

The thing is, they do have chicken tenders, right? Just because they weren't called "crispy chicken tenders" doesn't mean the people were lying. They probably just thought you were talking about the chicken tenders and added unnecessary bullshit adjectives to make it more enticing
Ok
mcdonald’s had chicken tenders
@@deeznuts158 oh my god its a watermelon
Yes....? Idk I don’t eat there
I have been a vegetarian for most of my life and TBH a fast food place having a clearly vegetarian menu option is a game changer. The Impossible Whopper actually lets me pick up fast food with my friends which was something I never got to do in high school. The whopper and BK fries arent preferred, but having the opportunity to get fast foods with my friends is so nice. I like White Castle for the same reason. They have a decent veggie burger and an impossible slider now too.
I’ve also been a vegetarian my whole life and haven’t had this issue, I just tend to get the burgers with no patty or substitute beans in for meat, but I agree I like that it’s becoming more common to have vegetarian options, makes me eat more protein and less carbs.
i went vegetarian about a year ago, and having something that was similar to meat but not meat was really helpful. i think having the impossible whopper might make it easier for some people to go vegetarian, because not having fast food available is just so inconvenient. i didn't really have any strong opinions on it before but now it's my favorite fast food restaurant :)
Things I learnt from these commercials:
1.) even burger king knows they have to starve you for 4 hours to enjoy their food
2.) their whoppers don't taste like beef and are therefore indistinguishable from fake beef 😂
actually even 'real beef' can be indistinguishable from fake soo... Idk
@@kasarina5880 I was pescatarian for about 5 years and never found that to be true but maybe its true somewhere 😂
Also I've had burger king in the year since leaving this comment and their whoppers are actually pretty good so sorry for shit talking before having one 😂
Impossible meat is just extremely close. It's the company's whole gimmick.
Yeah that's what I'm saying. Meat substitute tends to make me kinda nauseous, and Burger King beef does that too
I love how for the first one, they established that their sample pool consists entirely of people who are willing to lie and say falsely positive things to be in a commercial, and then confirm to us that those same people love their food. An ingenious strategy to make me trust their reviews
Burger king employee: *Drops angry whopper*
Jet: So you have chosen DEATH?
if that’s “Jett’s” reaction to waiting 20 mins for a fast food burger, I don’t want to be within 5 miles of him if someone gets his order wrong.
"I miss the angry whopper more than i've ever missed a person"

She said it so deadpan, so badly acted that it actually made me think it was could be real for a second
Lucaz99 I like to think they weren’t given exact lines, just direction, and that’s what she decided was reasonable.
This line was not provided to her, she was reading a tweet that she had tweeted @AngryWhopper almost a year earlier. She's a comedian in Minnesota. Nice person
Kevin Klika that’s actually a cool little story

Me and my friend did the math. This man has consumed at least 1412032.44 calories in Whoppers.
Honestly, being a vegetarian, BK literally just had to say "we have something on our menu that ain't meat" and I'd show up. Enough with the theatrics, Mr. King.
exactly. they really didn’t need all the extra annoyances
Lol right before this video I got an ad for BK that included the cow fart situation. Dont know if it actually mentioned any vegetarian stuff.
Exactly lol tbh I was super hyped when I found out they were testing the impossible whoppers before they released them nationwide bc I don’t have access to impossible burgers where I live, but the commercials were hella annoying. + I acknowledge the fact that yeah they taste like a real burger to ME, who hasn’t had meat in two years now, but idk if meat eaters think it’s as amazing as we do lol
Not a vegetarian but yes!!! I agree!!!
theyve always had veggie burgers but they kinda hid them
Just because the people are real, doesn’t mean that they included the people with negative opinions, just saying.
EXACTLY!
Truee
I don’t think I’ve ever considered eating Burger King before... now I want it... Scott why did you do this to me
Same
I like how in that first burger king ad, they "proved" that people lie to get on tv, then showed a bunch of people saying they're good. Am I the only one seeing the irony here? Lol
how is there only 10 like and zero replies. got to be the least popular verified comment ever

So what you're saying is, you've murdered Burger King employees. Got it.
IDK but I've murder their toilets a couple of times
Or robbed them.

scott when he has one: *this is pretty frickin' good*
Ikr
Yeah I kinda feel that way about Burger King, they’re so easy to rip on and then I actually have some and it’s not that bad. I’d say in terms of fast food burger king is better than little Caesar’s in the pizza game. Burger King definitely has some pretty rough items tho lol
@@monhi64 yeah lmao i agree, tbh i dont eat their burgers a lot but they’re alright, not the best but certainly not the worst
where they really do good tho is their nuggets and fries. i will argue till the day i die that BK has the best nugs and fries in the fast food game
like BK is really not that bad it’s just easy meme material lmao
@@alyssaturcotte9209 I feel like my BK is the exact opposite of yours, they easily have the best fast food burgers in town, but everything else is by far worse. The chicken, the fries, the shakes, everything else is worse than their competitors.
If you’re a fan of the show “Community,” the BK Angry Whopper advertisement is literally just “the Duncan Principle.”
omg yes i immediately thought of that
yes sir yes sir
omg ikr
Yeah but much worse
Abed would have sat there the whole time and then not even eaten the angry whopper when it was offered to him
When I worked at Burger King, I was embarrassed because of their ads. I couldn't believe they were being paid more then me, to do a job that was so much worse then what I was doing.
Nobody gonna talk about how Scott’s hand helped transition the screen of his computer I. The back ground at 10:41
Lol nice
YOOOOOO
The impossible whopper actually tastes really close to meat.
I kind of want to try one, I've seen a few food youtubers that tried them and said they were "pretty good"
@@darlingblue they're good if you get them fresh. I got one that must have been kinda old once, because the the consistency was NOT that of meat😂
Had one today! Was pretty good, if a little burnt
darlingblue It’s worth trying. The patty by itself is meh. But with all the toppings on it, it’s taste is still pretty much the same as a regular whopper.

About the perscription ads: Yes that's exactly what they're trying to get you to do, which is why they say shit like "ask your doctor about X today!"
RedstonerProductions but they spend most their advertising money essentially bribing doctors
Medicine has such high profit margin that even if only a very small group of people do it its worth it for them
As a Burger King employee I just wanna say thank you for ordering politely and bringing up the coupon at the speaker 🙏🏻
The office in the background? Clearly a man of class.
Maybe they just figured if they said they’ve had them recently, they wouldn’t be in those “real customers try Burger King for the first time” If someone asked me if I had chicken tenders, I’d think they were talking about chicken fries.
"Is it so people walk into their doctor's office and suggest to the doctor that they proscribe them Symbicort?"
Yes. That's exactly. And people do just that after seeing the commercials.
I'd like to add that in the very least, the medication they're selling may already be the doctor's preferred solution for certain problems, and you'll notice that many of the health issues they advertise solutions to are more common in older people. With many of these drugs, the goal is simply to get the patient to recognize that this is an issue that is worth asking their doctor about, and upon being made aware of the problem, the doctor is already most likely to prescribe the solution they saw advertised. So in a way, the ads even generate sales amongst patients whos first instinct would still be deferring to their doctor's opinion rather than straight up asking for a drug.
I’ve actually recommended a bunch of doctors prescribe me x medication and all but once they ended up prescribing it to me. But I suppose that might be more so because they’re appropriate in the situation. One of them I suggested the doctor had never used but ended up liking it so much a bunch of the practice ended up on it.
Threat Level Midnight playing in the background is one of the best things I've seen on this platform
"The tomatoes were freshly cut today."
Um, okay...when today? You're essentially telling me that these ingredients have been cut open and sitting around until they could be assembled.
"There's a good crunch from the lettuce and the onion."
Bless his soul, the poor man had never bitten into a vegetable before.
And Nostalgia Guy hasn't been to a barbeque since he was three.
*”sorry your husband went into shock mam, we didn’t realize he was extremely allergic to ginger and it’s in the surprise food we gave him.”*
So I'm not the only only one that thought about that? XD
To be fair, BK's lawyers would probably never let that happen.
Probably Had them list their food allergies first, wouldn’t be that complicated
When I was watching that part of the video it made me think about when I was a kid one time my mum sneaked finely chopped onion into the homemade burger patties because I hated onions. I thought it tasted gross and couldn’t eat the burger, completely ruined my dinner and then my mum told me it was because she put onion in it. I would be so angry if they swapped my burger without telling me. It doesn’t matter if it tastes the same, what if it didn’t? What if it tasted disgusting and ruined my day? What if it had something I was allergic to? I would be mad.
Why does Scott look like he’s been wearing swimming goggles for the past 12 hours
