* SpiritualSuccessor: ''Sneak King'' has gameplay mechanics VERY similar to Rockstar's ''Manhunt'' video game series, just change 'violently murdering convicts' to 'surprising hungry folks with lunch'.

How much so? The Burger King managed to work his way into ''three'' different video games (granted, made specifically as an in-store promotion, but still). He's also managed to become a pop culture icon, of sorts—you can buy the mask. He's had the occasional WebAnimation/YoutubePoop appearance, too. There's also his... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5X4TSbGreA interesting...]] video about WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants. Disturbing, hilarious, or some combination thereof, he's certainly memorable.

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


Fast forward a few decades to 2004, and Burger King decided to bring their mascot out of mothballs. This time, though, he became... much more [[UncannyValley disturbing]] and [[DarkerAndEdgier adult]]. Now a guy in an obviously plastic mask right out of ''kigurumi'' and royal finery, he started appearing in ads aimed at adults. By appearing where you probably weren't expecting him. Like [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCSv4zNkFhw at a construction site]]. Or [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sl0b12baPjU pole dancing]]. Or, most famously, ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4_5qoy4oaQ in your bedroom]]''. Simultaneously disturbing and amusing, the ads took off.

Examples Are Not Recent. I wouldn't care if it was true, but I feel like 'posted to youtube in 2009' isn't new anymore.

Burger King, the fast food establishment, isn't all that trope-worthy on their own. They're the second-largest burger chain in the United States, they have a global presence, and they're subject to several [[StockParody stock parodies]], along with their major competitors.
