One of the biggest cult hits of the 2000’s was Napoleon Dynamite. While being hilarious, it is now being used for commercial gain for Burger King.
At $1.99 for a batch of cheesy tots, let’s hope that the former stars of the film, Jon Heder and Efren Ramirez were paid a truck load of cash for this commercial. One of the funnier moments in the film was when Jon Heder’s character grabbed his tots from lunch and put them in his pocket, only to have them get kicked by a school bully.
It is a natural jump for the people at Burger King to get these two on screen to reignite some former glory.
They only need Uncle Rico and Tina the llama to show up, then the party would truly get started. If Burger King were to decide to have these two on a series of commercials, they may finally get some hipsters showing up to eat their food.
If we can get more Napoleon Dynamite in our lives, the world may just end up being a better place.
