It took awhile but finally an official Youtube version of the AMV which won three awards during Anime Expo 2010. Scintilla’s very excellent “And Now, A Word From Out Sponsors” is the latest entry to be AMV of the Day.
This AMV is pretty brief but what’s shown gives enough proof as to why it was voted by the Anime Expo attendees to win three categories. It won the Staff Favorite and Best Comedy categories, but it was winning the top prize for Best In Show which cemented this amv as top in a field that had some very good entries.
The video edits together several scenes from different anime to match the lyrics of the song. A song aptly titled “Burger Dance” by DJ Ötzi. Some effects work such as putting the KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonalds logos into the scenes were made, but in the end the song is just a laugh riot from start to end. It had everyone singing along to the chorus. That is just how great and fun an amv it was.
Now, if the creator of the amv “Alchanum” just follows suit and also uploads to Youtube that Best Drama amv winner.

A lot of the Pizza Hut images, especially those that are in Code Geass, actually weren’t added in. Pizza Hut is prominently shown in the Japanese release. Strangely, while Pizza Hut was apparently fine with Japan using their logo, it wasn’t allowed in the American release. So, all images of Pizza Hut had to be shopped out of the release here. I suppose it’s not a huge deal, but it still irritates me whenever anything is censored or edited out.
So, the giant mech that was spinning pizza dough was in Code Geass?
Sure was. If I remember correctly, the scene immediately prior with Rivalz on the microphone in the chef’s hat is from the same episode. There was also a truckload of tomatoes that was supposed to be poured onto the pizza, but I was never able to fit it into the video. ^^>
Thanks for highlighting this! ^_^ I should point out that the video is available for download at our website at:

Hey, you’re the first of the AMV creators to come see the page itself. Yeah, your AMV was the fave at last year’s Anime Expo. People were definitely singing along when it came on.
Possibly, I dunno. I haven’t watched all of Code Geass yet.
