So you’re an advertising exec at Burger King. In these tough economic times, you reason, Burger King needs a children’s commercial that will grab attention and boost sales. Kids, you know, like Spongebob Squarepants. They also like rap. And lord knows, they totally dig a nice big bedonkadonk. There’s really only one place to go from here.
The real commercial above, set to Sir Mix-a-Lot’s “Baby Got Back,” comes from the darkest, dankest recesses of the advertising mind. In one scene, the Burger King king with the creepy plastic mask actually measures a girl’s butt with a measuring tape, apparently after she has put a phone book down her pants. Many booties are shaken, and Spongebob makes a few cameos, but the refrain of “shake that cubicle butt” really doesn’t make either butts or burgers sound very appealing.
How did anyone think sampling a song about girls with big asses, by a guy whose “anaconda don’t want none unless you’ve got buns, hun,” was a good idea for a kids’ fast food commercial? My guess is the advertising folks were really, really stoned when they came up with this one, and really, really fired now.
Thanks, SM!

What? Too cheesy for you? Not enough meat to the comment? Maybe I should stop sandwhiching puns…

Maybe if we’re lucky Burger King will go out of business as a result and people will have one less way to poison themselves.

Well I am glad to see I’m not the only one who found that this was a very bad advertising choice, and I found it inappropriate for the targeted consumer.
