Burger King’s November promotion, Free Coffee Friday, doesn’t seem to be a big hit with your neighborhood coffee-shop baristas, who turn to stalking their former regulars at work in new ads from Crispin Porter + Bogusky. The spots, featuring the burger chain’s partnership with Seattle’s Best Coffee, walk the fine line between funny-creepy and creepy-creepy. The actors, copywriters and wardrobe designers all deserve credit for capturing the surreal experience of being haunted by hipsters. Check out one spot below and another after the jump.
