Although fast food is commonly thought of as greasy, cheap and convenient, this Burger King commercial presents the new BK New Zealand lamb burger as a gourmet eat that you can get for a fraction of the price.
The burger ad stars two eccentric rich old men by the names of Poppincock and Cravat, who look extremely out of place in the fast food joint with their thick fur coats, monocles, top hats, pocket squares and pristine white gloves. The two share a quick conversation about the lamb burger, before sharing a "rich person laugh" over what they consider to be a steal in terms of price, since they can indulge in a meal and still find themselves richer yet. If their loud laughter wasn't enough to disturb other BK diners, the commercial's conclusion with a gunshot will.
