Oh Sir Mix-a-Lot

Why?
did you really need the money?

I wanted to present the original. can't find it in non-suck format. Dammit.

Then, teaching the kiddies about history/literature This is pretty damn cool.

This however, is just wrong. At least I've only seen this on Adult Swim. (and this version is super extra special wrong)

The hell?

And what the hell happened to the Burger King anyway? When I was a kid he was tall and elegant, serving burgers to unsuspecting families, and gifiting the world with crappy plastic fit together toys (and the occasional Star Wars tie in.) now he's REALLY FUCKING SCARY with that big head. Child molester I kid you not.

I think maybe Sir Mix a Lot is just a fan of Robot Chicken and when the whacky writers came up with the idea he said yes. It's hilarious. But I don't know what the foo is up with the Burger King advertising Sponge Bob, or if that's even Sir Mix a Lot singing. It's pretty disturbing. And I totally get what you mean, re: Child Molester. He's creepy.

to clarify - I love the Robot Chicken thing, but it seems to have opened a door that once gone through, cannot be returned through. And that is Sir Mix-a-Lot, I recall reading something on that, which of course I can't find now. *lol*

The full video is really - scary - and a bit too adult. I only see it late on Adult Swim, which is "ok" but some others have told me they've seen it on other channels, and who knows when that happened.

I'm glad I don't have kids. It's bad enough I think "Good lord my evil niece might be seeing this!"

I think I got old somewhere along the way, all "But who will think of the children????" heh.

See, maybe I'm being a fuddy duddy, 'cause, while I loved the original, and the Robot Chicken version, this commercial is just plain not okay. Because it's really a little too sexualized. I mean, this is advertising Kid's Meals. Then again, what do I know. There were ton's of kids programing and cartoons that had more adult subcontext that I never really got, until I watched again when I was old enough to comprehend. Still, it's creepy.

[tiamatlady]

yes - this exactly.

While I almost enjoy it from a dirty adult perspective, I'm horrified that my niece might be watching this.

I'm not sure how to take that in me, but I don't think we're wrong not wanting the kids exposed to it either.
