Square Butts Burger King Music Video with SpongeBob Square Pants
Can the Burger King get anymore creepy?
Square Butts is an ad for the restaurant chain Burger King, originally airing in 2009 to promote the BK Kids Meal featuring animated character SpongeBob SquarePants. The commercial, which parodies "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-A-Lot, gained controversy from parents due to it being too sexual for the targeted SpongeBob audience. Burger King, however, claimed the ad was actually targeted for adults.
Synopsis[]
The commercial is a music video which takes place on a set with the Burger King singing the song, also with a group of girls dressed like the titular character.
Lyrics below:
I like square butts and I cannot lie
Squid and Sea Star can't deny
When a sponge walks in, four corners in his pants, like he got phone book implants
The crowd shouts, all the ladies stare
Dang those pants are square!
Swinging through the seaweed tangles, is a butt with sharp-right angles
Now SpongeBob, I wanna get with ya, cause you're making me rich-a!
Underwater, we keep it grungy, cause everybody knows that he's so spongy
Oh! Rumpelspongekin, you dance but your hips don't bend
So groove it, and move it, if you got caboose, then prove it!
SpongeBob is dancing, and Squidward is glancing
He's hatin' (Wet!)
Got SpongeBob running his set
I'm tired of all these chairs, they don't accommodate these squares
Take the average box, run, and tell him that
"You gotta have square back!"
Mr. Krabs (Yeah!), Patrick (Yeah!), does SpongeBob got the butt? (Oh yeah!)
Tell him to shake it! (Shake it!) Shake it! (Shake it!)
Shake that cubicle butt!
SpongeBob got back!
(Nah, dude, I say cubicle, not bootyful. Don't trip. Yeah, baby, when it comes to sea life, curves ain't got nothing to do with 'Bob's selection. Two by two by two square trousers working that black belt lookin' like dotted lines? That's how SpongeBob like to rock them threads, baby.)
A word to the D.C. sponges that wanna get with it, and watch SpongeBob kick it
I gotta be straight when I say you gotta scrub till the break of dawn!
'Bob got it going on, been known to rock him a thong
Them round butts won't admit, 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 SpongeBob 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 Thing
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, she won't let 'em
If you happen to wander on land
And you wanna be a Square Butt fan
Just drive the crew by the Burger King, and give that sponge a ring
SpongeBob got back!
Why It's Cursed[]
The commercial is so cursed because of how highly inappropriate and offensive it is for the target audience of the SpongeBob show, which roughly consists of preschoolers and younger kids. The Burger King's creepiness definitely increases a level with this advert.
