Apologies for any mistakes, I’m new to the forums, despite being into lost media for years.
I remember this animated Burger King commercial that resurfaced from my mind. I can’t stop thinking of it for the past few weeks. I’ve been thinking about it on and off for a little over 3 years (I know, get a life). It’s basically the mascot of Burger King throwing burgers around while doing this dance where he jumps backwards with his hands on both ends of his waist on a rectangular, white box in front of a green screen with a camera behind it, in a corner. As some guy (possibly the current narrator in Wendy’s commercials who says ‘choose wisely, choose Wendy’s’, it changes but this is the most common voice) says something about the mascot’s mess he’s making, but how delicious the burgers look. The mascot, now off the box, says something near “if two vegans argue, is it considered beef,” and takes a bite out of a burger. I don’t know what year it was made but judging by how the animation looks, somewhere between 2012 to 2019 (I’m almost certain it was between 2014-2016, but I was sick, which is also why I don’t remember everything the best. So I just have to put the largest gap possible, just in case it’s not 14-16.)
I spent over these last 2 months alone about 2 hours trying to find something, but no luck in screenshots, storyboards, or the commercial. Nobody even mentioned it on the internet. Can anyone help me?
Unexpected update: I looked at the Wikipedia page of the mascot, at the bottom of the 2004-2011 section in the history category it showed two pictures. The live action one, which it said was used in 2004-2011 and reused since 2015, looks exactly like the one in the commercial, expect in live action instead of 2D. Thus the year is definitely between 2015-2019 and is most likely 2015 or 2016.
In case you want to see it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Burger_King#2004–2011
Update 2: This actually got mentioned in a LSSQ video! For this, I’m going to have someone recreate how it might’ve looked to better help the search and put someone’s on this post with credit on who made it, because I’m horrible at drawing. In the comments, there’s a screenshot of my comment describing how the animation looked in better detail. I also think LSSQ cracked a case for me; I don’t remember the mascot and narrator having a conversation, like he said, but I always remembered short cuts of black happening each time the narrator talked. Having it actually be them having a conversation that I didn’t remember seems likely.
