People seem to either love or hate Burger King's Simon and Garfunkel-themed commercials for the recently released Mushroom and Swiss Steakhouse Burger. While most side with "hate," I'm on the "love it" side. My favorite one features a guy who got a tattoo of his head atop a turtle's body—a plus in my book for inexplicable reasons. You could say it's just 16 seconds of nonsensical stupidity, but I say it's 16 seconds of awesomeness that is somehow both explosive and subtle, set to a catchy mandolin-backed tune.

Whether or not this commercial would make anyone want to eat this burger is questionable, but I guess the point is just to make people aware of its existence. The consumer review blog Impulsive Buy gives it a 5 out of 10, and Fast Food Critic gives it a B- grade, but says his expectations weren't high to begin with. Doesn't sound like a winner to me. But I'm a big fan of the commercials, just as long as the Simon and Garfunkel-esque musicians don't emerge from behind a tree and try to feed me a burger. Watch the commercial after the jump.
