Is anyone ACTUALLY upset about the new BK commercial? - Blu-ray Forum

AppleCrumbDlite · 04-27-2009, 07:29 AM

I was randomly watching the news the other night and they said that parents were outraged at the new Spongebob/Sir Mixalot commercial for $0.99 Kids meals. I personally think it's hilarious.

The video can be seen here... I'm telling you it's hilarious. I'm sure most on here will enjoy it but this also isn't moms.com so...Enjoy and discuss.

I saw it on TV a while back, it left me in a daze of confusion.

brettallica · 04-27-2009, 08:12 AM

I think the commercial is hilarious in potential; in execution I give it a B+. They could have done the lyrics a little better, but overall it was a nice parody/play on "I Like Big Butts" which was an epic song from my impressionable years. I'm totally cool with the commercial, and I'd likely allow my kids (who both love Spongebob and BK) to watch it.

I love it just because it has a song that once was deemed to sexually explicit for MTV and is now promoting a kid's meal. Plus you got the cameo at the end. Priceless.

I'm not upset about it or anything... I just think it's a terrible commercial... BK was doing some pretty good ones with the King, but this one fell flat to me...(yes, pun intended)

P@t_Mtl · 04-27-2009, 12:13 PM

I haven't seen it, usualy skip everything because I DVR. Still BK is disgusting anyway

Budke · 04-27-2009, 12:16 PM

BK has probably one of the best marketing teams around. Their commercials are very popular with the target demographic of 18-35 males.

This commercials makes me laugh everytime

I agree. I'm not bothered by the content of the commercial, I just think the commercial isn't funny or good.

Too bad that doesn't seem to be doing much for them, since it seems like Burger Kings everywhere are closing.

NARMAK · 04-27-2009, 03:00 PM

nice advert but i think the use of the square gluteus shaking actors threw it away from kid appropriate i guess

funny but a 16-35ish advert really

sfmarine · 04-27-2009, 03:08 PM

Sex & Hamburgers....it's smart by BK but I'm sure they've been getting a lot of bad calls from concerned parents.

Teabaggins · 04-27-2009, 03:14 PM

people were upset by this? pathetic

Honestly not offended. My daughter (who's 4 and loves SB) was dancing to the commercials. However, if you remember when this video came out, there was a TON of controversy over it and the subject matter. To turn around and use it for a kid's commercial just seems kind of... shortsighted to me.

That and the part at the end where Sir Mixalot goes, "Booty... is booty," while he's got like 3 "hoes" around him is a little much.

Better than the weird abstract commecials where the BK guy would just randomly show up.

Mike53421 · 04-27-2009, 03:19 PM

People get upset over everything nowadays it seems, not sure if the internet helps amplify things or what. I usually enjoy BK's commercials, but as others said this was a rare miss. Good concept, iffy execution.

azncarbos · 04-27-2009, 03:24 PM

hahaha classic! I remember my friend bring over his kids to my place and when the commercials came up the kids were dancing! I have no problem with this ad....

Budke · 04-27-2009, 04:13 PM

Is this commercial aired on childrens television channels? I've seen it on Comedy Central but I think it's appropriate there.

Teabaggins · 04-27-2009, 04:20 PM

I find the bratz dolls more offensive

What about the teen-ified Dora the Explorer?

naw, that Dora doesn't look like an underage prostitute

SDon1969 · 04-27-2009, 04:31 PM

BK marketing has been absolutely crazy ever since they had Hootie the Blowfish singing about a bacon ranch burger. Square Butts - funny, weird, but inappropriate? Only in today's ridiculously politically correct world....
