This [funny fast food ad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/german-doner-kebab) features the Burger King in his court, being entertained by a clown dressed in red and yellow that looks awfully familiar. Rather than the usual "Have it Your Way" slogan, this is swapped out to read "Have it the King's Way," since the colorful court jester is one person who is definitely not having things go his way. Although the fast food mascots from the rival food chains may not be directly related, this is a fun and [cheeky way](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burger-billboards) to bring them together in the same universe, even if it is at the expense of one of them.

The ad came out of the [Miami Ad School](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/my-hero-academia-x-nba), put together by Sarah Yu and Nicolas van den Brink.
