I recall where the guy sees the king, who is standing at the window, holding a long sandwich at groin level. After first making sure his wife isn't watching, he then takes the sandwich and begins to indulge. This is just ordinary compared to today's commercials.

I wonder why the first burger doesn't re-appear, but every other one does. I truly wouldn't eat anything off that clown's "Magic Tray". Also wanted to add, his "watch for me on tv" would make me fear my TV. Wow, what a creepshow. I wonder why the first burger doesn't re-appear, but every other one does.

If it's not him, I know that he did portray the clown prince of hamburgers at one point in his career.
