Burger King Ad Inappropriate for Kids?

It is funny how we all get worked up over a commercial I feel it is ridiculous and inappropriate for our younger kids and what about our "tweens" what message does that send to them? NADA!!!! just some foolish nonsense I don't even get the whole commercial I just looked and shook my head and said what will they come up with next? Yeah you are right we need to see who does the hiring and get a job fast!!!!!

I have for a long time thought that the advertising agency that does Burger King commercials should be fired. They have the worst commercials I have witnessed and were it not for the Whopper, I would not return to Burger King. Get aqnother agency Burger King. Then again, the executives that are buying all this garbage shoud be dispensed with also. Burger King used to be my favorite. They have really messed it up.

the commercial is very long and it is hard to hold attention to it. Also, they are confusing rectangles with squares. This is a rather big mistake.

Lol. I mostly agree with you. I am one of those adult swim watchers but my daughter is not allowed to watch that crap, I know limits need to be set. I typically like Burger King's commercials but I didn't even find this one slightly amusing. It was a total cop-out.

It's a commercial. Who cares? If you were decent enough parents, you wouldn't be letting the television babysit your children or teach them their morals and life lessons. That's YOUR job as a parent, not Spongebob's.

Jacki, you say you don't have kids, but you can relate what goes on in a spongebob cartoon? Do you realize that the same "violent, senseless behavior" was first marketed on Loony Tunes? Or did you forget the RoadRunner/Coyote episodes, where that coyote did everything he could to blow himself up catching the roadrunner? How about Yosemite Sam? Or Elmer Fudd, and the "Kill the Wabbit" opera?


Good Lord, people! If you want to take offense to every little thing that happens on this earth, you are going to have wasted, wasted lives. The better decision may, I say, Jusy May Be...Wait for it...providing a strong, solid parenting base and discussing things with your kids more! If you feel an ad is inappropriate, tell them why. If you feel a person is acting/dressing inappropriately, explain to your children why! And, provide some good, solid discipline, for God's sake!

Kids/teens/young adults of today are the ones who were raised during the "it's inappropriate to discipline your kids" era, thus giving them the impression that they are always right, always get what they want, etc. IT WAS NOT TELEVISION THAT SCREWED UP THESE KIDS, BUT LACKADASICAL PARENTS.

As always, if you don't like what you see on tv, TURN IT OFF! Better for you anyway, if you do

There are constantly going to be ads out there that don't make sense, as well as other forms of media and television. However, if you've ever studied advertising you will know the whole point of why certain ads are developed and marketed to the public. The whole intent of advertising is to get the audience to remember what company the ad is for. So in essence...even if the ad is offensive, you remember the ad is for Burger King...right?!? So, the company that developed the ad did there job in creating an ad that promotes an ad for Burger King. Whether or not the ad is offensive, inappropriate, or funny is debateable and purely the opinion of the viewer. And...on another note "most" cartoons are strange and have been weird throughout television history...Smurfs, Scooby Doo, Bugs Bunny, Teletubbies...come on now...as long as they ful-fill their entertainment value in small doses and they get a good laugh out of our children, then that's all that matters. If you are really concerned about how your current or future children turn out, that's up to you and how you raise them...it's not the television's fault or resposibility....

I am a teacher and I have two girls 6 and 9 luckily I made the decision three years ago to do without television in my home. I find this ad and most television to be, not only an insult to my intelligence but, a major factor in the decline of the social and moral values of our society. I believe every person has a choice: invite it into your homes and reap the consequence or kick it out and reap the benefits. I also abhor fast food so the Burger King will have to search else where for children to corrupt

This ad is right up there with the new Quizno's ad. What bad taste have you listened to what they say! OMG what is this world comimg to.

This one is weird, but I didn't think it was necessarily inappropriate. I was far more offended by the one where he rolls down the window and shoots Ronald McDonald in the head! I was like WTF?!

Attacking sponge bob? really? This is what happens when bored moms have too much time on their hands and this is where censors come from. I don't think that absolutely everything a child ingests media and otherwise always have to be educational. They are kids for god's sake!! Me and my kids think it's hilarious and so far neither of us have shot anybody.
You can shelter your children from all things borderline taboo or non educational or what you find violent, but the fact of the matter is, is that all those things will still be there when they shut off the TV and walk out their front door.
I think the ad is harmless and hilarious, as is Sponge Bob.

I think this commercial is horrible! The King is the creepiest, ugliest thing in advertising which is bad enough, but then to add Spongebob and women shaking their square butts too. Disgusting! I will not be taking my Grandchildren to Burger King again.

That Burger King guy is really creepy as in pedifile creepy. Any comercial with him in makes me change the channel. I'm sure they were trying to be funny but it did not work. Loose the King.

Right on!

What a ridiculous commercial, not only for adults, but to think it is specifically directed toward children! The commercial made absolutely no sense and is NOT appropriate.

I'm teaching my grandchildren to grow up and live right, and that does NOT include learning how to shake their booty to promote some hamburger joint.

Nope. No more Burger King for me.

THAT'S the reason you don't go anymore? How about the fact that the food is practically poison?

I don't like that burger king guy I'd run like he&& if he came walking up to me.

Just for the record, I am not a Burger King fan or a fan of Sponge Bob. However, the ad in itself is not that bad. To address a comment in regards to why is the King rapping about squares when SpongBob is a rectangle, well if you remember anything at all about math and geometric shapes, you would know that a square is a special rectangle. I am a teacher so I know.

youre a moron. Sir Miz a lot is illllllllllllll!!! listen to his song Posse on Broadway and you will understand. The rest of his album is ill too. know your shit you ignorant F***. just cuz none of his other songs made it on MTV doesnt mean he dont got other good songs. so you my freind are a toooooool.
