Glad to see someone else who has the same reaction. Yes, I find him creepy and disturbing. I think Burger King designed him to be that way to get attention, but personally, I am deliberately not going to Burger King, because who wants commercials like that? I'm not going to reward them for it.

Current advertising
The Miami based advertising frim of Crispin Porter + Bogusky took over the advertising account of BK on January 27, 2003[5]. Employing the advertising technique called Viral Marketing, CP+B's ads generated significant word of mouth and for its new use of what has been called the Creepy King. The "Creepy King" is an actor who wears an over-sized, grinning mask of that is a caricature of the original Magical Burger King character used in BK's children advertising from the late 1970s to early 1980s (see below).
The "Creepy King" was first used to advertise the chain's breakfast sandwiches. Additionally, the character has appeared in the tie-in promotion of the film Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, commercials for a cross-promotion with the NFL and DirecTV's NFL Sunday Ticket sports subscription package. In the promotion, a code entered from the wrapper from an Angus burger sandwich could net several prizes, including free access to the Sunday Ticket package NFL Your Way promotion.
CP+B went on to create several other strange characters and websites including the The Subservient Chicken[6], featuring a person (presumably) in a chicken costume, who supposedly does, within reason, whatever he is told to, advertising the TenderCrisp chicken sandwich; a faux metal band called Coq Roq, who wore chicken masks parodying the style of masks of nu metal band Slipknot, used to advertise BK Chicken Fries; Sith Sense was a of the Revenge of the Sith tie-in campaign, with an image of Star Wars's Darth Vader utilizing a 20 Questions answering program; the Big Buckin' Chicken, to advertise the TenderCrisp Cheesy Bacon Chicken Sandwich; and the Whopperettes, women dressed as burger condiments who appear with the King in a Broadway-style show.
In November 2006, Burger Kings sold a set of three advergaming titles for the Xbox and Xbox 360 entitled Sneak King, Pocketbike Racer and Big Bumpin' for an additional $3.99 each with any value meal. The games featured many of the characters that CP+B had created for BK. In Pocketbike Racing and Big Bumpin' players could choose to play as the Subservient Chicken, members of the Coq Roq band, the Whopper Jr. or the Creepy King. The television ads featured the King being filmed in a motion capture suit performing stunts for the games. Former Anthrax/Armored Saint Vocalist John Bush provided the narration. As of the end of December, 2006, The games sold 2 million copies as another Xbox 360 hit, Gears of War.
In October 2006, Burger King rolled out a new design for both their drive-thru and dining room menu boards, expanding their Value meal selections to 12 items, from the previous 10.

I wouldn't go near the guy, he looks scary and gay, not that there is anything wrong with that as Jerry Seinfeld would say, but yeah he is not my choice of a mascot, even for a dog pound.
