Geez, that first one is kind of racist... but I really like the rest of them. Very 70's, and very unique.

I love the "black" one. Man that's fun stuff. It's amusing to see how things flew then that would just be in poor taste now.

Their employee uniform hats sure were frightful in the 1970s, weren't they? :laugh:

Lots of famous character actors in those spots ... Ron Carey, Dick O'Neill, Eugene Roche ....

Hey, how come when the guy in the second one said "Where's the meat?" it didn't become a national sensation?

Wendy's rode the line "Where's the beef?" (By Clara Pellar) to success.

1-They show spatulas & other tools used to place onions & other toppings on the burger patty in the first few commercials. Not now!

2-When toppings are applied in other commercials using hands, no gloves are used. Not even now!

3-Did MGM produce the "Burger King Musical"? It's the one where the woman breaks out singing "Hold the pickle, hold the lettuce". I'd be scared if I walked into that.

4- The one with the three women singing- That could possibly be a deleted scene from "The Wiz" or "Thank God It's Friday"!

5-Who is the singer for the last commercial? She did jingles for a bank where I live & I love her voice! Now for something funny. Look at the size of the burger patty in this last commercial. Isn't that what they were complaining about in the earlier ones?:laugh:

What I'd like to see are two commercials. 1-"Little Sister" (McDonalds commercial) & 2-Wendy's commercials with Courtney Cox. They were cool!
