10 Strangest Celebrity Cameos In Video Games

5. The Burger King In Fight Night Round 3

fightnight Apparently EA saw Michael Jackson and the Clintons in Ready 2 Rumble and took that as a challenge. A challenge of what, exactly, I€™m not sure. All I know is that it ended with the Burger King as a hidden character. There are times when marketing has the right idea, namely the assumption that people that play video games may also enjoy Burger King. It's another issue entirely to assume that we want to be anywhere near that... thing. There's a reason BK retired the character and stopped airing those commercials. People found him creepy as hell. Though there could be something cathartic about making Tyson or Ali into a King destroying savior, it would also mean you would need to have zero issue explaining yourself were anyone else to come into the room as you're fighting the Burger King, belting out a half-hearted explanation involving incorrect mustard and pickle placement.
