Did Burger King rip off a comedian for their latest ad?
Eichner with Amy Poehler Funny Or Die Funny Or Die
BILLY EICHNER IS a comedian who stars in and produces street game show Billy On The Street for Funny Or Die.
In it, he ambushes passers-by in New York with high-energy questions, and sometimes gives them a dollar if they get them right.
His particular brand of high-energy candid-camera humour has become a success, and Billy On The Street now has three seasons and a cult following.
Burger King’s new commercial aired in the US last night. It features a guy with a mic asking two lads on the street about the price of chicken nuggets.

And they responded. In droves.
