LMAO. When I first saw this commercial I thought I was hullucinating. I honestly can’t believe they ran this. You know there’s some uptight asshole out there that will complain about women shaking their butts (even though they are square) using Sponge Bob images, talking about how it will “damage our kids.” Because some people can’t have fun, fully expect this commercial not to last long. But until then, enjoy it. Honestly, I don’t even know what Burger King was trying to promote with this commercial. LOL
Some memorable lines:
“like you have phone book implants”
“2 x 2 x 2 square trouser”

God help our children be children as we are not giving them a chance.Have we become so sick that we think our sickness is the best we can be. No wonder anxiety and depression are huge as we feed our bodies BK and Burger King becomes the Food for our souls as well.Dignify ourselves and tell these companies our children, our daughters are better than the crap they feed us. Our daughters have value to us!They are more than money to us even though that is what they are to you.We won’t sell them out!
April 7th, 2009 at 9:35 pm
Honestly…what the FUCK are you talking about?
April 9th, 2009 at 8:52 pm
As a school bus driver I can tell you that this commercial has some very bad side effects. I now have kinders who sing the song and reach out to the 5th grade girls to touch their butts. You all may think it’s cute. I personally won’t be going to Burger King for a long long time.
April 10th, 2009 at 9:55 am
Not A Sell Out,
God help our parents be parents and turn OFF this commercial when it comes on the TV. Sometimes our freedom of speech will occassionally offend you or will not be good for your child’s upbringing. That’s when it comes to all of us to do our jobs as parents and turn the shit off, explain that it’s crude, and that if we ever see/hear the child saying something like that they’ll get a spanking. Parents need to stop blaming everyone and everything out there EXCEPT themselves. Parents are the first and last authority on how a child should behave and if your child does anything counter to what you have asked/said, it’s on you and you alone.
April 10th, 2009 at 8:16 pm
THIS IS TRASH! I WILL NEVER EVER BRING MY KIDS AGAIN TO BURGER KING AFTER THIS AWFUL COMMERCIAL. NOW MY KIDS ARE SHAKING THERE BUTS SAYING THEY HAVE SQUARE BUTTS! IM VERY ANGRY AND ABOUT TO SUE BURGER KING!
April 10th, 2009 at 11:20 pm
aconcern mom…if you are going to sue Burger King over this…then you are a moron. WTF were your kids doing up late enough to see the commercial anyway? Try being a real parent.
April 17th, 2009 at 9:25 am
Honestly, Spongebob, the king, and Sir Mix a Lot… I’m not sure how you could ever top this wonderful commercial. Every time I see it I have a big smile on my face from start to finish. The people complaining about it have obviously let the censor brigade brainwash them.
If your kid is touching other kids butts:
1) it’s probably not in a sexual way and as such it’s a natural part of growing up
2) parenting is about teaching your kids appropriate behavior; this is an opportunity to teach your child that they should respect other people’s bodies. An opportunity that would have presented itself with or without this commercial.
April 19th, 2009 at 7:36 pm
hahahaha oh my this is the best commercial i have ever seen and if you parents were raising your kids right and wasnt perverted yourself then you would think its awesome as well.
the innocense of children is taken away by parents and other people they trust its not the tv its not the music. if you have problems with the the stuff thats broadcast then maybe its time for you all to go back to the compounds where there is no tv and you can marry your daughters off at the tender age of 10.
people get a grip have a sense of humor. after all you must have done the dirty deed in order to have those children right!!!!!!!
April 20th, 2009 at 9:40 am
As a parent, I was shocked to see this commercial geared towards “kids meals”. in reading the comments that others wrote, you can tell who has kids and who doesn’t. i will never support burger king again, nor will anyone else i know who has children. the commercial is not just aired at night, as someone else wrote. burger king has become a trashy and irresponsible company who should be ashamed of themselves. what’s next, a porno video for adult meals? you suck, burger king commercial writers.
April 20th, 2009 at 10:20 am
You’re right, I don’t have kids…but I know how my parents raised me. I know they didn’t get their panties all in a bunch over a commercial. If something was that bad they changed the channel or talked to me about it…and God forbid I acted on something and they found out…they made sure I would never want to do it again. Maybe if you were a real parent instead of letting the TV raise your kids…you wouldn’t have a problem with this.
April 20th, 2009 at 4:48 pm
Kids don’t have to be up late to see the commercial – it’s on all day. It’s disgraceful. For a company like Burger King to resort to sexually explicit ads to sell a kids meals? I don’t even allow my child to say the word “butt” – it’s demeaning and demoralizing.
And for those of you without kids, you have no idea of the volume of sex and violence that we as parents have to explain to our children on a daily basis, no matter how careful we are. I guarantee you, if and when you become a parent, you will change your tune. You can’t watch the news these days without your toddler being exposed to graphic images and acts of violence. The only “bad” parenting is a parent ignorant of what their children are being exposed to and how it affects their children.
Kriss – your parents “didn’t get their panties all in a bunch over a commercial” because a commercial such as this would never have been allowed on air when I was a child, and depending on how old you are, probably not even when you were a child. Before you accuse someone of “letting the TV raise your kids” maybe you ought to have a little bit more info. If I limit my child to one tv show per day, and she sees the commercial, does that make me a bad parent? In fact my 13 year old doesn’t even watch tv, and happened to see it when I was watching the news – does that make me a bad parent?
And by the way – I apparently am raising my daughter right – because at 13 her response was “that’s disgusting!”…which it most definitely is.
April 20th, 2009 at 5:43 pm
It only makes you a bad parent if you don’t know how to handle the situation. Getting mad and calling it disgusting and bitching for Burger King to take it down is idiotic. Your kid sees more “sexually explicit” (you can’t fucking be serious) crap in REAL LIFE than this commercial. I see why the world is so fucked up. You have people bitching and uptight about the smallest shit.
April 20th, 2009 at 9:25 pm
People spend way too much time being offended over such stupid crap. The people had phone books attached to their bottoms. It’s not like cleavage was hanging out or scandalously short skirts were being worn… like the garbage in TV shows that parents watch and their kids get a glimpse of. I’m surprised a tv show called SEX in the city aired… and who complained about that. But a burger king commercial and square butts? OMG!
Is this really that big of a deal? Do you have to get your panties in a twist over something so stupid? Are you going to protest? On your death bed, you’ll look back on your life and feel you’ve accomplished something by whining enough to get a BURGER KING commercial pulled off tv. So admirable.
Go get a hobby.
April 21st, 2009 at 9:28 pm
people why are we commplaining about that commersial but its just a tv show and how is it a bad thing when there saying the word butt
April 23rd, 2009 at 4:58 pm
I believe it’s a bad commercail but I also believe that parents should tell their kids whats wrong and right as for shakeing their assess well yeah fix that and tell them that it’s wrong to grab or touch someone ass also as for miss ”not a sell out” lay off the weed lol.
Another thing to you as a parent choose what your kids eat all you gotta say is no thats it. I believe it’s stupid on how ppl are blowing this out of perportion it’s a commercail besides their shit on CRTW that are sick like Chowder and Flapjack. Lastly their are bigger issues in the world why are we crying over this?
April 24th, 2009 at 7:56 pm
I will never go to Burger king again, this is not appropriate for children
April 24th, 2009 at 11:14 pm
BK can show ads like this for adults all they want,but trying to sell kid meals and a toy, thas going to far. Some one said telephone books in their pants wasn’t that bad, look again, the pants are short shorts and they are jiggling their butts and the last of the ad saying boudy is boudy. Thats where it really crossing the line.
April 25th, 2009 at 8:15 am
Poop, intercourse, and childbirth occur in the butt region. How is highlighting that area of the body appetizing? It’s not.
BK is trying to subconsciously connect to retarded, base-brain thinking parents and coincidentally sexualizing your children.
This is another example of corporate greed over-riding social responsibility. Reading some people’s comments, it appears to be another example of lazy Homer public being oblivious to how far they have sunk into their brainwashing.
Consider if this was a commercial with a bunch of black men with nooses around their neck, joyfully dancing to a song about how stupid they all are. You’d be appalled to hear there was an audience who got excited by that. Even if your children were not allowed to watch it or accidentally saw it, it hurts boys & girls because they must function with you & your kids at school, play, and work.
BK has no standards.
April 25th, 2009 at 2:21 pm
Is this for a kids meal? BK seems desperate to sell kids meals I guess. This is about butts…………When I think of kids’ meals I dont think of butts……..Hire a better advertising team before you lose a lot of cusotmers……..get it together BK!
April 25th, 2009 at 11:25 pm
Mind the Gap – So your dumbass is putting this commercial on the same level of a commercial with black men with nooses around their neck? What a moron. Its not that BK has no standards…you have no brain cells.
April 26th, 2009 at 4:35 pm
Woah
April 26th, 2009 at 4:47 pm
Children do NOT have to be up late to see this, it was just on during the NFL draft (3:30pm CST). This is inapppropriate PERIOD. Burger King had a major league gap in good taste and in marketing appropriately to parents and kids.
Kriss I suggest a course in the English language so you can express an opion without swearing. You sound very defensive of stupidity.
April 27th, 2009 at 8:21 pm
God Kriss get a life. You have nothing better to do than cuss online when u have no kids. I have read all your replies and ur so stupid. U must be a teen or in ur 20’s…
April 27th, 2009 at 11:00 pm
Again…if any of you whiners were half the parents you claim to be, then this commercial wouldn’t be a problem for you because it wouldn’t affect your kids. Also, for those trying to say that I was wrong when I said this commercial only came on at night…check the post date. When this was posted, it was only coming on after 8pm. Ironically, I didn’t start seeing this commercial all the time, at all hours of the day until AFTER you idiots started complaining about it.
the really funny thing is…you all are complaining about this commercial and your kids are probably learning about sex from their classmates. SMH…get a life morons.
April 28th, 2009 at 11:54 am
I love how most of these responses have turned into ad hominem attacks on you Kriss. They cannot formulate a sensible argument other than to whine or try to break down your argument by attacking you. None of them are suggesting that they simply turn off the TV rather than bitch and moan about BK.
It sounds like you and I were raised roughly the same; my parents were not attempting to be my friends and if there was something they did not like me watching on the TV (including commercials), they either asked me to change the channel or changed it themselves if I whined. All this self-esteem education has really done a number on people because they ALL seem to think they are the best parents.
No, I’m not a parent yet, but that doesn’t exclude me from the conversation because I have THOUGHT about how I would raise my kids. It’s kind of like before I was driving but I’d ride in the front-seat with my parents – I learned what moves to make and what asshole moves not to make on the road.
So, to the parents who plop their kids in front of the TV and can’t change the damn channel or have them watching channels/shows they very well should not be watching, go ahead and boycott the kids meal or BK in general. Let me know how that works. Something tells me we have enough fat-fucks in this country to keep the chain going.
And to keep count: That was four curse words in my comment; I think my point came across just fine.
April 28th, 2009 at 8:53 pm
oh my god, I am 12 years old… and when I heard about this.. i thought it was pathetic that parents would get mad and complain over this. I mean i can understand why they would be, because it is a childrens commercial. But come on, some of the people that complain let their kids watch “Family guy” (which is awesome lol) and then they complain about something like this.
seriously i don’t like to use the word “Pathetic” but omg..
April 30th, 2009 at 6:12 pm
Save your breath people.
Kriss has NO IDEA about Psychology, how the brain
works and from what he writes…it doesnt sound
as if he has a brain. He Wont change his tune
even if he had children…He thinks you can BEAT
and intimidate your children into behaving.
The Commercial is WAY across all lines, Decency
Commercialization, taste, morality and dont let anyone
tell you any different…
To Paraphrase Kriss…. He was exposed to all kinds of
stuff growing up…and LOOK HOW WONDERFUL HE TURNED OUT TO BE!
So if you want children to turn out like him and try to intimidate
harass and name call and bully people into accepting their opinions
like Kriss…then Enjoy the BK commercial and keep on stepping.
May 4th, 2009 at 12:09 pm
Honestly, I’d rather hear kids singing about having square butts than reciting the lyrics to Lil Ru’s Nasty Song or any other foul rap song i hear them sing on a daily basis. This 30 second commercial is not responsible for elementary schoolers touching people’s butts. News Flash…that stuff has been happening looooooong before this commercial came out. Though the commercial is advertising kids meals, i think the target audience is for parents because they actually know and remember Sir Mix-a-lots song “I like big butts.” BK assumed that the same fun-loving, open minded teens/young adults that liked the original song in the 90s have turned into fun-loving, open-minded parents that find some nostalgia in seeing the song remade into a BK commercial. They didn’t expect that those same people who loved the original song (singing it every chance they got at Karoke) would turn into hyper-sensitive parents that would protest a 30 second commercial spot.
I personally haven’t seen the commercial on channels or during shows that children watch so if you dont want your kids seeing it, change the channel.
May 6th, 2009 at 8:19 pm
Well… I can see all sides here. Agreed, if parents new how to handle situations where their children are exposed to things of an explicit nature, this wouldn’t be SO big of a deal. However, even if a parent can effectively do that, they still have the right to be upset about the commercial. I mean, just because you CAN neutralize situations doesn’t mean that you should have to do so all the time. And when a major corporation is directing things toward children, they might want to steer clear of referring to “square butts.”
I mean, I think it’s hilarious, but people want to complain about kids being too grown and blaming it on the parents. If the explicit images are EVERYWHERE however, keeping things in perspective becomes that much harder. Although parents should not be fearing that a commercial about square butts is going to push their child over the edge of nefarious behavior.

May 6th, 2009 at 11:50 pm
It’s a lot better than the gay clown from McDonalds harassing small children during their meal.
May 16th, 2009 at 1:27 pm
Who cares? Unless your kids are home-schooled, they already know far more about sex than they’re letting on. It’s not that big of a deal. Americans seem to have a pathologically puritanical mass sexual neurosis. Kids were “playing doctor” and so forth long before the advent of electronic media. Humans are, after all, sexual beings. It’s perfectly natural for kids to have a certain level of sexual curiosity.
On the other hand, if you have an unusually sexually precocious daughter, who is sluttying it up all over town and wearing her equally slutty momma’s “club clothes” to school, the fault lies with YOU.
I never censored what my daughter could see. I’d always discuss more controversial themes with her, but I didn’t try to hide them from her. My daughter is about to graduate from medical school. Is yours?
May 16th, 2009 at 1:28 pm
…Oh, one more thing.
If you feed your children Burger King, McDonald’s etc., you should be charged with child abuse… or at least soundly beaten. I wouldn’t give that garbage to a dog.
May 18th, 2009 at 2:27 pm
Isn’t it ironic that the 12 year old makes more sense in these comments than more than half the so-called adults? I mean, the commercial is about Spongebob. As inane as that cartoon is, this ad is harmless. Admittedly, I don’t get the ‘booty is booty’ part at the end, but it’s a cartoon and a kids’ meal.
As to the parent who doesn’t allow his/her kid to say “butt”. So, when your kid has to wipe, will you teach him to say “ass” instead?
People have bodies. Bodies are natural. Maybe kids wouldn’t be oversexed if their parents took a little intelligent initiative. Stop reading books about parenting, and go be a parent.
June 8th, 2009 at 1:34 pm
Kriss is an idiot.
June 9th, 2009 at 4:18 pm
So let me get this straight, Kriss is the root of all evil and the world is going to Hell in a handbasket because he/she doesn’t find anything wrong with this commercial? Gotcha and BYE! GAWD, parents – parent your own damn children and if you’re so worried about what they see on TV, watch it with them so you can explain things you feel are inappropriate. I’ve suffered through a full year of SpongeBob and my son STILL treats others with respect, doesn’t go around showing his rear (because his dad and I have already told him that’s inappropriate) or anything else negative that any other kid his age might do after watching it! This is no different than the parent who smacks his toddler’s hand for touching the stove. YOU are the parent and YOU are in control. Turn the TV off if it’s such a scary form of entertainment! YEESH!
June 9th, 2009 at 4:19 pm
“People have bodies. Bodies are natural. Maybe kids wouldn’t be oversexed if their parents took a little intelligent initiative. Stop reading books about parenting, and go be a parent.” – Very well said, Miyna!
June 14th, 2009 at 5:04 pm
The “Square Butts” ad is disgusting to me as an adult. I was raised to discern good from evil. This ad should be pulled from the air. I used to eat at BK, but seem to decide on the nearest alternative now.
“Kriss” your comments need to be edited too !
June 14th, 2009 at 9:55 pm
You’re an idiot if it takes this commercial to think you shouldn’t eat at Burger King
