Murder Burger – Staff wanted
This is why I love New Zealand so much. Amongst all the PC talk there are still a few people out there with a sense of humour and some great marketing skills. A bit like Hell Pizza and Burger Fuel.
Murder Burger staff wanted

LOL
Only in New Zealand would you see an ad like that. However you would think becomming Mr Stabby in the workplace wouldnt be a problem as the place is called “murder burger”
Lol indeed. Though killing the staff and/or customers would mean the end of Murder Burger and I really want people like these guys to succeed :D
omg! how funny is that! HAHAHAHAAH!!! this needs to go on jay leno’s show or something!
Hi Gilda, thanks for stopping by :D Seems like this ad has taken the internet by storm. Lots of searches for Murder Burger!
Man imagine this being mentioned on Jay Leno. I love it when New Zealanders do well. No tall poppy syndrome from where I’m sitting.
great stuff…i wish there were more employment opportunities available like this in the US. i wonder what’s up with the little kitty in the logo. odd but cute and intriguing.
Very creepy kittie. Like the cat is going to jump out and rip your neck open.
But also, if in a different context, completely innocent and cute.
Like Damien.
..and I thought the expression was “I could murder a curry” !!
There used to be a Murder Burger in the college town of Davis, California. They had a big sign on the highway for a number of years before the city decided that they didn’t want to be known as the murderers of burgers, made them take down the sign, then change the name all together… so much for freedom of speech. They are now Redrum Burger, and still make the best enormously large quadruple espresso shakes in the world…
Interesting, I’ve seen a picture of the Redrum Burger store on the net recently.
Indeed so much for freedom of speech.
I know the guys opening this store on Ponsonby Road and used to work for them its classic kiwi marketing to answer the question of the kitten as the logo it is white with red eyes for some reason and straight from the mouth of one of the people who helped in its creation came this beautiful quote ‘everyone knows dude white cats with red eyes are evil!!!’ yeah may not actually do as well as they hope based off the area they are in… way too much competition
Thanks for that info Hell. My guess Damien guess wasn’t too far off the mark then. lol.
Hopefully this stores marketing will extend beyond the search for staff and their burgers will be good and they’ll survive. All you need is a point of difference :D
I just went to Murder Burger and am extremely happy to report that the burgers are good, the selection is excellent and the marketing continues to crack me up.
The brochure with all their burgers is frikkin hilarious. I think these guys will do well as long as they keep up the quality!
Oh and apparently the cat is because the place is all about meat (no vege options and no salads) and a cat is the most natural urban predator. Well that’s what I read in the paper anyway.
Heya Jafa. Thanks for that report back. Good to know that their burgers live up to the hype they’ve caused.
I guess I won’t be testing the burgers when I’m in Auckland next because I’m a vegetarian. Good to see they’ve carried their marketing the whole way through though. It truly is murderous to eat there. Mwahahaha.
This is the best burger place in the country. The staff are cool and best of all there are no vegetarian options on the menu. The salad is a meat salad with 7 types of mean and the french fries are cooked in meat fat and canola oil. Booya. Bring on the meat sweats.
Well as a pescetarian myself it’s not really my kind of place. I don’t have a problem with other people eating meat though. I just find the practice of chewing on flesh a bit too real. I could fill up on chips cooked in meat fat though, yum.
Mr Stabby? More meat for cannibal burgers !

i just cannot believe someone else in this vast universe knows about Mr. Stabby…..
