I particularly like the way they don't take themselves seriously. That last ad? Freakin' awesome. I like these ads – I think they’re clever, although I’ll admit to being a sucker for wordplay.

Secondly I think the ad is trying to break away from the fact that everyone is health crazed nowadays. If you seriously think one of these are "Good for you", then you need help or are going to die soon. Lastly, whatever you think of this ad, the burger is delicious. Albeit a artery clogger. :D “an egg strategically plopped on top”

I love burgers the more meat the better. This should be burger heaven for me, but the photos are distinctly unappetising. The colours are muted like the pictures have faded in the sun.

You see, I think part of this ad is its play of words and punctuation. Yes you're right, it's "Good. For you" however, I think the middle full stop can be easily skipped over, given the context of the words used- "Good. For You" subconsciously reminds a lot of "Good for you" and I think that's the beauty of this play on words. Maybe this is just me but I still think it's cheeky for a hamburger joint to include the words "Good. For you" in a prime space in one of their advertising slogans, even if the words are separated by a fullstop. Hmmm.

I think you missed the point of the first one. The period or full-stop comes into play here: Good"." For you"." They are not advertising that it's "good for you," they are actually making fun of that it's not- but that it is "good," and "for you." Kind of clever. Umm.

They are not advertising that it’s “good for you,” they are actually making fun of that it’s not- but that it is “good,” and “for you.”

Kind of clever.
