Update!
We’ve finally got the video of this most horny and boobtastic Burger King BK Burger Shots ad – enjoy!
As the first installment in a series we’re certain to forget about, C&B.com is excited to present an interview with a currently relevant flash in the pan. Today, we talk to the guy from the latest oversaturated Burger King ad. In the 30-second advertisement, our interviewee attracts a gaggle of comely young ladies with his miniature burgers. Watch the sparks fly as this guy dishes all the dirt on Burger King, subprime mortgages and making commercials!
Catsandbeer.com: In doing my research for this interview, I could find no mention of so called “BK Burger Shots” on the Burger King website or YouTube. Now, I’m inclined to speculate that this commercial is some kind of test marketing for the Denver area in advance of a wider rollout. What concerns me is that if I do go ahead with trying said Burger Shots, and like them, I will subsequently find out….sorry, that’s a typo….I will subsequently find myself outside the Denver metropolitan area with the desire to eat some Burger Shots and will be unable to do so. That’s a long sentence. I should probably edit that for clarity. Anway, it’s kind of a tease. I mean, six hours of driving gets me to Kansas City or Albuquerque or damn close to Salt Lake City so it’s not like it’s unrealistic to find myself elsewhere craving a Burger Shot. So I have to ask myself, “What’s the point of test-marketing if you’re just going to anger people?” I don’t know, what do you think?
BK Guy: I don’t know. They didn’t tell us much at the commercial.
C&B.C: Successful commercial actors often go on to bigger things. I’m having trouble coming up with any specific examples right now. I guess there was that funny looking guy who played the murderer in Pauly Shore’s Jury Duty…Is that what it was called? I’m too embarrassed to IMDB it because I’m certain that those kinds of things get recorded by the FBI and I’d rather have people think I look for awful porn than Pauly Shore movies…Okay, so the dude who was in Jury Duty I think went on to do those Aaron Burr peanut butter commercials. That’s actually the opposite of what I was talking about. Oh, there was the guy who does all those Washington Mutual free checking commercials who was on 2 or 3 episodes of The Office when Jim left Scranton. Is Washington Mutual just a Colorado thing? Do you know the guy I’m talking about?
BKG: I don’t know.
C&B.C: Yeah, I think WaMu may be in big trouble anyhow because of the whole subprime mortgage thing so we might not be seeing much of that guy in the future. By the way, do you have any subprime loans?
BKG: No.
C&B.C: Anyway, the WaMu guy kinda looked like the guy who played Jimmy Trivette on Walker, Texas Ranger. Fun show but I’m not gonna jump on the whole Chuck Norris bandwagon three years too late….[45 second pause]… Unless the whole retro fad is now zipping through in 3-year cycles. But no – no more Chuck Norris. Jimmy Trivette, that’s a terrible name for a black character. I mean, by and large, black surnames tell the tale of whom the person’s paternal ancestor’s master was. So I’m supposed to believe that Jimmy’s great, great, great, great grandpa was owned by a Frenchman? Come on, there weren’t any French slaveowners in the South. Actually maybe Louisiana. Do you think Jimmy was Cajun? Wait, Cajun or Creole? One is a language. Full disclosure, I’m an engineer not a historian. But yeah, do you think Jimmy Trivette was from Louisiana originally?
BKG: Maybe. I don’t know.
C&B.C: Let’s see….So you did a commercial for some burgers that are basically miniature versions of full-sized Burger King products, exemplas gratis….”e”, “g”…I’m doing the finger quotes thing….Oh, I should probably tell our readers that this is a phone interview so you and they can’t see but I’m really doing the finger quotes thing…but they’re like mini Whoppers – the burger not the malted candy. Now, Burger King isn’t the first to try miniature burgers. For example, here in Colorado, Good Times has been selling their Bambino Burgers for like a year now and I think they actually started making Bambino chicken sandwiches. Now, I swear I’m not making this up but it looks like on the commercials they put pickles on the chicken Bambino. I mean, am I crazy or is that just disgusting?
BKG: I don’t know. I’d probably try one.
C&B.C: Well, in full disclosure I don’t eat pickles to begin with but I’ve just never seen pickles and chicken paired together anywhere. And especially since it’s a fried chicken thing, you know that the breading is getting all soggy with pickle juice. And me – I love me some Good Times every now and again, but I don’t want to be the dude who’s asking for his Bambino with no pickles because you know they’re just replacing them with spit and I swear every employee in that place always has a cold sore. I usually just go up the block to the Wahoo Fish Tacos because the teenagers that work there are always too stoned to care whether my order is too fussy. True story – my old roommate used to eat at the Good Times on Union so much that the manager knew him by name. Isn’t that funny?
BKG: Yeah.
C&B.C: Okay, I’m really trying here but you’re giving me nothing. Hey, here’s a friendly showbiz tip: when somebody is offering you some free “pub”, finger quotes, don’t shit all over their head and act like you’re too cool for the room. I mean, maybe that would work for a Tom Berenger type but you – you ain’t no Tom Berenger. You aren’t even a Richard Crenna, not to be confused with Richard Jeni. You know, you make some fucking Burger King commercial that makes you out to be a dipshit to begin with that has to use miniature hamburgers to score chicks and now you’re acting like this website is beneath you or some shit. Seriously, what other website is knocking down your door for an interview? No one. Period. End of story. Bar none. May he rest in peace when he does die which I hope is never. So fuck off dude. Seriously. You know what, Everybody Loves Raymond is on now. I think I’ll start working on my fully annotated episode guide for Raymond because that’s better and more useful than this interview. Bye! We’ll miss you!
BKG: Uh-huh.
C&B.C: Fuck you. Bye! Bye! So long….dick. [Hangs up phone]. Bleehhhh. All the pizza in Denver is crap. Well, that concludes our first Catsandbeer.com interview. Toodles!

Question(s)
1. Is that your actual TV (and stand)?
2. And if so, I easily recognize (and approve of) the Arrested Development DVD’s, but are those Simpsons DVD’s also? and if so, what seasons did you deem worthy of purchase?
And my non-question, when I am bored at my current hospital rotation, Texas Walker Ranger is by far the best television program to be viewed from 10am until 12pm on the limited cable channel lineup that is offered by my hospital (unless Judge Mathis is on).
1. Yes. What do you think my TV (and stand) says about me as a human being?
2. I would have to believe that the DVDs you are fixating upon are volumes 1 through 3 of the Mike Judge Beavis and Butthead Collection. However, were I to purchase Simpsons DVDs, I would probably choose a volume from the Conan O’Brien era, ca. Season 5, and Season 12 – the season where Homer gets raped by a panda. That would allow me to juxtapose the show’s creative heights with its nadir.
Then again, ‘nadir’ suggests a low point which then implies a subsequent rebound of sorts. As we all know, the show has been flatline since then. But then again, it has been flatline pretty much since the end of Season 8 which would be 11 (!) seasons ago…Now I’m all bummed out and will probably go hide for a few more months.
Keith, a wonderful interview – after reading the transcript do you think you were too hard on the guy? Will there be a follow-up/reconciliation?
Your intro marks the piece as the beginning of a new series and one that will likely languish ("Hey, Hollywood!" anyone?!), and I believe you are half right: for some time I have wanted to start an interview series, and my thought even was (is?) to interview interesting subjects about topics about which they know nothing.
I expect my first interviewee to be my step-brother’s half-brother who (fairly) recently completed his first foray into the world of adult film under the nom de (whatever is the actor equivalent for) plume "Anal Hershiser" – in his case, however, I anticipate the line of questioning to be very much focused on his new realm of relative expertise.
Oh, and as I remarked privately I would now like to remark publicly: less than 24 hours after publication, this article is already the #1 result on google for the search "BK Burger Shots"
well done
The Burger shot and also a Breakfast shot is being tested In other Places as well Louisville being another Place . I work at a bk Not in the Louisville Area . but I know that is one of the test markets.
Charlie – have you had any? Are they delicious? Is the actor from the commercial as much of a dick as he comes off as in this interview?
Anal Hershiser interview ASAP, please. Thank you.

…look at those tiny burgers! ..I am in love with this commercial! It makes me laugh every single time.
I have but one question….who’s the chick (actress) in the tan top with the great looking boobs?
…..no seriously. Who is she?
WHAT IS THIS FIRST ACTRESS’S NAME???
No it is not Kristen Davis and no when you google Kristen Davis don’t get distracted by what you find in images.google.com.
Sarah Dumont…(shes a model)
It’s DEFINTELY not Kristen Davis. It’s obviously an unknown actress who just got lucky with her first commercial who will probably (but unfortunately) fade away into obscurity while pounding the pavement with headshots and sleeping with the director at a local community theatre.
Hmmm…that was a little mean spirited. I guess i’m just angry because NO ONE KNOWS HER FREAKIN’ NAME!!!!
whats the guys name? my hubby thinks he recognizes him from somewheres…
and this ad has only been playing in va since about two weeks ago i guess denver liked them enough for the rest of us to have some
That commercial is insuffrable. Every moment of it is entirely obnoxious. How can you people accept this commercial as fit for viewing. Take it off the air now!
Magnolia…you’re either a woman or gay….not that there’s anything wrong with it.
Tye,
In your response to Magnolia,…..
And if the commercial had sexy guys on it….I suspect you would say they (the hot guys) were gay….sometimes you need to realize that women get sick of only seeing hot women on TV, it’s not that we are gay, it’s not that we are insecure, it’s not that we are feminist, it’s such a bore to always see geek guys on commercials with women acting like toddlers.
Actually, I’m in the arts so gay or straight I could care less. And if there were hot guys ogling a nerdy woman I’d probably find that very humorous.
I do understand though the whole feminist, “sick of seeing hot women” thing in the media but unfortunately that’s not going to change. Sex….sells. Period. Why do you think all of the men and women in soaps and movies…etc…are hot? Because sex sells and that’s what people who are watching their shows want to see.
As a feminist, you must know that these self-image issues need to be addressed on a more fundamental level as well as an individual basis as it’s never going to go away in the media and women have to gird themselves from it. Now, that doesn’t mean censoring commercials but helping women to understand that all women are beautiful no matter what you look like. In all actuality…I think that everyone (male and female) should be taught this starting with ones parents.
Now in regards to this particular topic, I think it’s a bit unfair to look at this commercial and complain about it’s content when now more then ever there are TV shows featuring women in powerful leading roles including commercials. Name me 2 other commercials out right now where you have hot women lusting after nerdy men and I will concede you a point. Actually the trend nowadays in commercials is to have your average Joe and Jill in a situation of everyday life so as to appeal to more of the masses.
So…if they want to air a commercial objectifying men. Fine…do it. If they want to air a commercial objectifying women…fine. Do it. It’s up to us as individuals to be strong enough to look at it and not have it affect the way we feel about ourselves.
I don’t know, this commercial makes me want to throw a rock through someone’s face. If the women in it with their hideous shrieking and horrifying facial expressions are supposed to be attractive then my brain must be broken.
Meanwhile this interview was the funniest thing I have seen all day. You should have made him apologize for being in a commercial that advertises sex and hamburgers. that’s some filthy nonsense right there, not to mention unhygienic.

Merry Christmas
Sithmonkey…..you are the man. THANKS!!!
Oh and uhhh…wow! More then I imagined.
Are you fucking kidding me? This was shit.
Fuck, only 7 of your 40 tags actually relate to anything else, and that’s because your hackery chose such things as “Commercials; Features; Pizza; Television.”
Keep up the good work.
Try to be consistent, or at least coherent.
Good luck.
Keith, this dude calling you out – calling you out four DAYS ago and you still ain’t said shit – don’t tell me you pussy son, don’t you even tell me that!
One of my little tangerine chunks has a black spot on it so I’m afraid to eat it. That said, the rest of the tangerine has been delicious.
edit: Just bit into a seed in this supposedly “seedless” clementine. Outrageous if you ask me.
oooooooh dammmmmmmmmmmn sonnnnnnn!!!!
who is the blonde with the insane rack? killer legs too…she’s so hot.
anyone know who she is?
