There are only two people who should be allowed to scream at strangers on the street: the homeless guy outside the subway station who tries to warn everyone about the pigeons, and Billy Eichner. Yesterday, the Parks and Recreation star was alerted to the fact that a new commercial from Burger King, where happiness is only a drive to Wendy’s away, looks an awful lot like a Billy on the Street segment.
Hey @BurgerKing-thanks for stealing my act for ur new commercial!! Except its not as funny & everyone knows u stole it. GET YOUR OWN IDEAS.

His fans (and Jake Fogelnest and Jon Daly) listened.

First @BurgerKing relocates to Canada to dodge U.S. taxes, then they go and rip off @billyeichner in a campaign to spread heart disease.

Amen. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to find the nearest Burger King and scream obscenities into the drive-thru machine for 20 minutes. So, pretty much a normal Monday.
