Burger King has a new ad, featuring a very loud, slightly manic young man asking people on the street how much they think their chicken nuggets would cost.
Comedian Billy Eichner saw a resemblance between the ad and his own act, known best through Funny or Die's Billy on the Street. Eichner called out the fast food chain on Twitter Sunday night when he saw the ad air.

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.— billy eichner (@billyeichner) October 13, 2014
Other comedians and celebrities like Michael Ian Black, Seth Rogen and Judd Apatow have also tweeted at Burger King in support of Eichner's claim.
Mashable created a side-by-side comparison of the ad and some footage from Billy on the Street to see just how similar they are in the video above.
Can you really own yelling in pedestrians' faces? Whatever you think, the resemblance is uncanny.
