This will be a fantastic project for me to not work on this weekend, or ever.

I want this so bad, but I know I would wake up hungry every day.
It definitely needs a coordinating wardrobe that's shaped like a bag of potato chips.
A floor lamp that's a bottle of ketchup or vinegar.
Giant paper napkin for a throw rug.

I need a bed shaped like a burger like I need a burger shaped like a bed.
You laugh, because you think I'm joking. But I've been traveling the country, pitching my idea that food should resemble furniture. Traditional food forms usually follow the intrinsic structural lines of the food source; "Chicken with 40 cloves of garlic" still looks like a (part of) a chicken. My brilliant insight is that food forms are now completely malleable. Protein can be pulverized and reconstituted in innumerable forms. So my brilliant insight about the future of food consumption is that we will eat foods that resemble objects of other significance. Within two decades we will decide how to eat not based on flavor, cost, freshness, or any other of the current criteria. Within two decades we will eat foods that have particularly favorable forms. I'd like my dinner to resemble my favorite celebrity! I'd like my dinner to come with an array of magical superpowers! My dinner should explode with significance! And ordinary furniture is significant; in the future people will go out to dine at restaurants because these restaurants serve meals shaped (and perhaps flavored) to resemble significant moments of architectural and interior design. You'll have a sweet potato shaped like an Eames chair. Your wine will come from Fallingwater. Every bite you eat will be a vote for a particular aesthetic style.

I still like the Always Sunny comparison. I could see them revisiting the idea and using this design in a later season. Reality TV shows taking one element of a person's identity and using it to define their home/vehicle will never die. See: the 4Chan Sup Dog meme.

You know when you take a cat, lay it out on a blanket, and then roll it up so only it's face is sticking out the end, and you call it a "kitty burrito" and make fun until it wriggles free? I don't think that this hamburger has sufficient restraint abilities to make it really useful as a pet mocking device.
Maybe if they made some sort of hot-dog futon, or something for puppies, I might get more interested.
