Usually, when the major chains try to get into the whole viral video thing, the results are lame, lame, lame. But, OMG, this Burger King video is pretty damn good.

In it, they outfit a Burger King with hidden cameras, punk customers by claiming the Whopper has been discontinued, and then record the resulting freakouts. The also prank the customers by placing Wendy's and McDonald's burgers in their sacks instead of Whoppers—recording the results, of course.

One of the best quotes, from an irate drive-thru customer: "I want your manager at the window when I get there!"
