So which has a cooler mascot, Ronald McDonald or the King from Burger King?
I can't think of anything to put here right now.

The King from Burger King easily beats that stupid Clown. Have you seen his moves on the football field?

The King, but the Taco Bell dog beats'em hands down.

I find The King to be kind of scary. Granted the first time I saw him was the Star Wars commerical where him and Vader do the staring contest, it's the fact his face never changes.

That and he looks like Jesus to me.

Haven't we had a similar discussion recently?

Burger King isn't big enough company to have spread over here. That at least tells Ronald McDonald has bigger muscles if nothing else.

I agree.

I've never seen the king over here either, though that clown gets on my nerves. That and Mc D's tastes of cardboard.

Yay for the King of Burgers!

Wimpy tasted like crap.

And since when did Burger King have a mascot?
nope.

If I actually ate at one of them, I'd pick Burger King just so I could see more King commercials. I love 'em. They're ****ing creepy.

I reckon... Ronald McDonald is like Jesus Christ. There's this happy land you go to where there's lakes of banana milkshake and trees covered in fries... and then there's the Hamburglar. He's the Devil.

So the moral of the story is that if you eat an apple in McDonalds, you will be thrown out.
nope.

I love that commercial where that dude is working on a skyscraper and the king starts drilling into a beam or whatever. Best commerical ever.

I actually ate one of those Kong Burger triple whoppers a few weeks ago. My friend could only eat half his. I had mine King Sized, and after eating my entire meal I turned to his half eaten burger and said "Gonna finish that?"

Though I gotta admit the food was cheaper than what I get at McDonald's, the 20 piece McNugget with large fries and large shake.

While the King is cooler than Ronald, he is kinda creepy. If a costumed guy showed up at me door and offered food, I know eating it would NOT be the first thing I do.

It probably would, but I don't trust a building contracting company to make fast food.
nope.

Well, I can't really tell. Both of the mascots are pretty d*** creepy. However, if we also include the rest of the mascot cast, Burger King wins by virtue of the Subservient Chicken, which beats Birdy, Grimace, and even the Hamburglar any day of the week. Might not beat the Hammurderer, but that character was sadly never actually designed, and existed only in an early 2002 issure of the Onion.

They did actually have that mascot some time ago; from the 70's to early 80's they had the "Burger King" who had a court that by today's standards that would be immensely corny. Wikipedia links to this page on the TV ads they used during then.

Apparently, not long after that, the drugs wore off, and the later 80's and 90's saw the effective elimination of any sort of mascot for BK. (they had some kids' mascots, but nothing else) Apparently, the 'King was brought back sometime late 2004, this time trading corny for f'ing creepy. (link 1, link 2) He didn't USED to have that solid plastic mask...

They are both dumb and therefore I cannot vote. had I to pick the lesser of two evils: Ronald, but the Taco Bell dog is so much better than either.

Ronald isn't scary, though he is a clown. That King guy is just too creepy.

The King is the funniest mascot I've ever seen. His creepyness and the awkward situations he creates bring me much joy.

Where's the Mayor McCheese option? He totally gets points for having the best name.

The King got arrested in those advertisments? I've seen the ads where he's in the game, but never any where he got arrested. :p

Oh damnit, I read this wrong! I thought it was asking which restaurant one liked more, and I voted Mickey D's because the Big Mac is simply awesome. I didn't notice the part about the mascot until after I voted. I hate Ronald McDonald so much. :(
