Burger King: Sponge Bob Square Ads



Is this for BK Kid's Meals??? CPB is getting very formulaic. There creative has lost its punch. They go for the creep out or shock factor in every campaign these days. They still do different things with their work but the common denominator always seems to be CPB, Creep People just Because. Hip Hop is always used as a way to either sexualize or add psuedo-cool.

Here are the lyrics:

I like square butts and I cannot lie
Squid and Sea Star can’t deny
When a sponge walks in, four corners and his pen
Like he got phone book implants, the crowd shouts

All the ladies stare
Dang those pants are square!
Swimming through the seaweed tangle
Is a butt with sharp right angles

Now Sponge Bob, I wanna get witch-ya
‘Cuz you’re making me rich-ah
Underwater, we keep it grungy
‘Cuz everybody knows that ‘He so spongey!’

Ooh, Rumplespongeskin
You dance, but your hips don’t bend
So groove it and move it
If you got caboose, then prove it

Sponge Bob is dancing
And Squidward is glancing
He’s hatin’… wet
He’s got Sponge Bob runnin’ his set

I’m tired of all these chairs
They don’t accommodate these squares
Take the average ???? tell him that
You gotta have square back

Mr. Krab! (yeah)
Patrick! (yeah)
Has Sponge Bob got the butt? (oh yeah)
Then shake it (shake it)
Shake it (shake it)
Shake that cubicle butt

Sponge Bob got back
(Naw, dude, I said cubicle, not booty-ful. Don’t trip. Yeah baby, when it comes to sea life, curves ain’t got nothin’ to do with Bob’s selection. 2 x 2 x 2 square trousers, working that black belt, looking like dotted lines. That’s how Sponge Bob like to rock them threads baby.)

A word to the DC sponges who wanna get wit it
And watch Sponge Bob kick it
I gotta be straight when I say you gotta scrub ’til the break of dawn
Bob got it goin’ on, been known to rock him a thong
Them round butts won’t admit it
But they’d wear that gear if they could fit it

You can draw his body on paper
His waistline really don’t taper
Your girlfriend wants to squeeze him
Wanna push his pores and tease him

But Sponge Bob ain’t gonna have too much of that squeezin’
You other sponges don’t want none unless you rock square buns!

To the new sponges in the magazines, you ain’t it Miss Thang
We rock them cubes, gals and dudes
Put it down at the goo lagoon

Some other box must get jealous
At the moves that come from square fellas
See Bob and they wanna get him
But Sandy Cheeks he won’t let ‘em

If you happen to wander on land
And you wanna be a square butt fan
And drive the crew right to Burger King
And give that sponge a ring

Sponge Bob got back!

My work here is done. Dysfunctional Chocolate, lady's and gentlemen! (*drops the mouse)

CPB

Yeah its a little creepy to be targeted toward kids. Especially since the King is always somewhat leery and disturbing. However, it's spreading like wild fire over the internet. Which is what CPB is all about.

golublog, you totally get it. CPB is getting very formulaic. There creative has lost its punch. They go for the creep out or shock factor in every campaign these days. They still do different things with their work but the common denominator always seems to be CPB, Creep People just Because.

I seen this commercial earlier this week and gawked at the television in disbelief for about 10 seconds, that turned to embarrassment which turned to irritation... SMH How far will the selling out go... I left work to purchase another book for my niece no TV for her atleast not until my thoughts are settled...

Scattrbrained, for me it's probably the imagery more than the lyrics really. The gyrating to sell kids meal and 2¢ plastic toys?
