His name is just "King," according to the roll-over graphic interface thing.

My bad. I'm porting my jpg over to the main article though-- I recomposited it from the flash elements to show as much of his body as possible. -Derik 12:15, 22 June 2009 (EDT)

Man, Walky is scary when he's burgin'. --RosicrucianTalk 12:19, 22 June 2009 (EDT)

Simmons quote about "they've been here a longer than we think" seems like it might make an appropriate accent here... it was in one of the promos, right? -Derik 12:27, 22 June 2009 (EDT)

Simmons is also an expert on things that go between two pieces of bread...--RosicrucianTalk 12:29, 22 June 2009 (EDT)

Hey, I'm a bit too close to the subject to do it myself, but perhaps mention should be made of my Autobot font being used on his page? --Jimsorenson 13:50, 22 June 2009 (EDT)

Actually might be better to put in when we do the article for the Transform Your Way promotion.--RosicrucianTalk 14:42, 22 June 2009 (EDT)

Put it in me, Scott

[edit]

Can somebody put a link in that quote to the reference? Drmick 14:41, 22 June 2009 (EDT)

That's not something we generally do for captions, but in case we change our minds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LQpRQh2KSQ --ItsWalky 14:48, 22 June 2009 (EDT)
That is awesome!Dead Metal 15:42, 22 June 2009 (EDT)
I hate that commercial so much. --M Sipher 16:54, 22 June 2009 (EDT)
You're so, so alone, dude. --ItsWalky 07:36, 23 June 2009 (EDT)
Never even heard of Quizno's but a quick Google shows that as I type this I am sitting about 50 metres from the only one in Northern Ireland. Still, I'm pretty sure that ad is a North America (if not USA) only ad. Population of Earth = RotW 96%, USA 4%. So if it's like that I'm going to put JR Hartley and Accrington Stanley references all over this wiki! Drmick 07:32, 23 June 2009 (EDT)
It plays in Canada, and it's on Youtube. Plus, this is an English wiki. That takes out a pretty big chunk of the world that both a) has no Internet access and b) does not speak English. So yeah, poor argument. --Detour 07:43, 23 June 2009 (EDT)
Not to be a... hang on, what's a UK-centric term? Prat. Yeah. Not to be a prat, but if you peep our visitor logs, this site is overwhelmingly frequented by folks from the U.S. - don't worry, the UK is nicely represented and all, but one specific reference to a U.S. fast food ad campaign in an article REFERENCING a U.S. fast food ad campaign seems to be a bit much to get worked up over. (on the other hand, I don't even think it's that funny, and there's way better potential jokes out there.) Hooper_X 07:44, 23 June 2009 (EDT)
"Plus, this is an English wiki." It's an American wiki, Detour, your whole argument is based on that fact. Anyways, I've stuck in a Carlsberg reference in the past that is UK specific, so I'm just as guilty. But I'm in the minority (being a UK fan), and everyone loves the underdog, right? Drmick 07:56, 23 June 2009 (EDT)
FWIW: I'm American and I had no idea what the caption meant. - Starfield 08:40, 23 June 2009 (EDT)
No actually, he's right. It's an English wiki. We decided... gosh... ages ago that British English spelling were not considered 'incorrect' here. We're not Americentric. -Derik 10:42, 23 June 2009 (EDT)
Fer gods' sake, people, how dense are you? Do you not know how to use Google? Do you expect every single reference to be served to you on a silver platter? Do you expect the range of your knowledge to be 100% coterminous with the references on the wiki? Hey! I got an idea! Let's replace every single joke caption with a Star Wars quote! 'Cause otherwise someone out there might not get one of them, but probably everybody's seen Star Wars! Yeah! (Personally, I find myself disappointed by the lack of WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?) -- Repowers 11:11, 23 June 2009 (EDT)
Oh, I googled "WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?" haha funny. :| (I must be a hermit. I don't know anything.) - Starfield 12:52, 23 June 2009 (EDT)
[edit]

Okay, the 'Transform Your Way' website is now just a regular Burger King website. Should the link alone be removed or should the entire External Link section be removed? I say the latter. - Zadok Rox 20:22, 22 April 2010 (EDT)

Agreed. There's not much point to it now.--Jimsorenson 20:49, 22 April 2010 (EDT)

Tech Specs

[edit]

Why does King, and King only, have his Tech Specs listed? -- Cr85747 23:58, 2 May 2012 (EDT)

Because they are notable. Who else has a "Creepiness" rating. Nobody. Not even Dead End (ROTF). - Starfield 00:11, 3 May 2012 (EDT)
