@@ronaldfoster8673 Did women change or something? I know that whyte women had gone from ironing board behinds to more robust similar to blak women. THAT is odd.
Loved the "have it your way" jingle. Deserved a billboard position, both the white and black version. Miss those old commercials and way of life back then. Need some genius to make a time machine.
I love the classic Burger King commercials! The last three are my favorites! I was born in the late fall of 1978! The beautiful and classic jingles are performed perfectly! A lot of great talent, writing and directing in these commercials! This entertaining, historical and interesting! Thank you for posting and sharing this!
It's so cool the theme they sing is back with the new commercials sweeping TV. I prefer these older ones but no wonder they went back to these as reference, so catchy. BK, have it your way!!! Lol
4:16 I used to work as a grocery store cashier and whenever the customer wanted their stuff bagged in a stupid way I would always play this song in my head
This was when Burger King started a nationwide campaign to make its name in the burger field. At one point there were dozens of Burger chains like Burger Chef that was known for Star Wars toys. Burger King is now a Canadian/American company that also owns Tim Hortons, whom people near Canada have heard of and seen in hockey arenas. I prefer BK to MCD. The whopper came before the big mac and became a huge success.
They were only available in the Mid West. Indiana based. Tragedy struck the night before the Jonestown massacre which led to the Company’s complete collapse as they folded by 1995.
Yes Whopper 1954 was a reply to beat McDonalds Cheeseburger. In 1968 a McDonald's franchisee made a bigger burger to compete with the Whopper. When Ray Croc saw it, it had no name. One of the female execs said: "How about the BIG MAC as in the big McDonald's burger?" Rest is history.
Damn, this really hits me right between the nostalgia and the "ol' days" longings zones. The fadedness and the gaps between the commercials are even nostalgia material, with clicks, pops, and an oddly comforting analog hum of old TV. The jingles, the slogans, and those ludicrous outfits worn by happy, singing, dancing servers...can we feasibly go back to them? The one with the Indian (the old-timey word for Native Americans) was new to me, and I loved his "groovy!" remark; they were obviously playing off the "crying Indian" PSAs. The office gang treated the small burger with remarks that wouldn't have been out of place discussing some dude's tallywhacker, and I had to laugh. I was completely surprised as to why the detective ordered his perp "no Whopper!" until the end. Very creative.
The Detective One is incredibly Clever!And yes, the 1969 Native American ad was mocking the Crying Indian Don't Litter PSA which first aired in 1968. The Office Ad was both an innuendo and satirical jab at Racist jokes being told in Offices. Its why they had a Black Extra in it. To reflect the social culture changes at the time in the late 60s. Fact: Burger King was one of the Earliest Integrated Fast Food Chains in the South. Florida Chains were Serving Blacks as early as 1957. BK expanded because it was one of the very first chains to be marketed to minorities. Kroc was super racist, and REFUSED to market McDonalds to "Spooks" until 1971.
I recall the last one clearly enough. The folky tune (reminds me of the Poppy Family or the Original Caste, or Coke's "I'd Like To Teach The World") swelling into a chorus of voices, with its gorgeous visuals, warms the cockles of my heart. Were all ads as uplifting today as this one...
the lietanent and the guy he handcuff with reminded me of barnacle boy and mermaid man on spongebob when he said he can't handle the adult size krabby patty.
The sheer quality of so many goods and services seem to have been better in general during the 60's-70's. I remember the burrito joint a few blocks down from where I live used to sell burritos that were not only bigger, but more flavorful....... and they included chips AND salsa. These days, it just seems like they're skimping on everything.... the chips and salsa cost extra.... and even then, the portion sizes are smaller and the chips aren't even made of corn anymore. dafuq?
That jingle introduced in the ad beginning at 3:47 really defined those commercials in the 1970s, but now that it's been revived to a degree, I'm curious: Who was actually SINGING that Burger King jingle back then, and is she still alive?
The joke is that he's a Crook that's been arrested and that his punishment is that he doesn't get to have a Whopper since it needs two hands. The Arresting Detective orders a Whopper to add insult to injury.
Would it kill you add a slice of cheese? How much heavier would it be? And how much more expensive should it be? A series of questions that continues to confound me to this day!
The actor in the first "native American" ad was actually an Italian-American by the name of Frank De Kova. He played Chief Wild Eagle in he 1960's western spoof comedy, "F Troop", and why he was picked for the commercial. The commercial here reminds us to some degree of the "crying Indian" commercial of the early 1970's here: th-cam.com/video/uGu4AwL5Kho/w-d-xo.html played by "Iron Eyes Cody" a Sicilian-American actor.
De Kova was Italian and Cheyenne Native American. His mother was The granddaughter of a Cheyenne tribe official in Niagara Falls. His Dad was a Sicilian Immigrant. De Kova played Indians because he was actually naturally Native American. He was actually one of the FIRST to be naturally cast as one. Nicknamed “Little Eagle”. Don Franks(Cree Summer’s Dad) was also Half Native American. He was French Canadian and Saskatchewan. His nickname was “Red Bear” some of his friends called him “Running Cub”.
Ya I know I'm old lol but I remember seeing some of these commercials. The native American dude was a take on the one shedding a tear at the litter people were throwing out. We never thought twice about the silly stereotypes back then. Different times, different perspectives. I actually liked a lot of the commercials back then. Some were even groovy lol. These days commercials just suck.
The "Indian" from the original Litter commercial was "Iron Eyes Cody" , a famous Native American actor in westerns. The thing about him that no one knew is that he had no Indian blood at all and was 100% Sicilian . He lied for his whole career and was able to because this was before the net and information was hard to find. He even married a Native American woman and lived like that for his whole life.
I love how the guy's paper hat keeps hitting the top of the window and he keeps having to adjust it. And every time it makes this crinkly noise. It's hard for me to find stuff that makes me laugh but this scene just kills me for some reason.
Not gonna lie with you guys but being born in the 70s or 80s are literally the best years, I seriously wish I was born in the 70s mostly, screw the phones, games and other advanced stuff bought in through the 80s and 2000's. My Grandfather was born in the 50's and im alot more interested in whats going on in the 50s and the 40s thats when my Grandma was born in, but yeah, I love the 19th Century! ❤ 🖤🤍 ❤
Well, at least back then they were honest about how the burgers really look.
no theyre honest. as a matter of fact i just seen a bk comercial for two whopper meals for 10 dollars. the patties are so thin, i came here just to see what they use to look like. i should make a then and now video about what we use to get vs now.
On the second ad, American speaks its mind, that lady on the right with a short dress is proof baby boomer women were just as hot as milliniel ones.
Those Burger King clerks have such lovely singing voices.

Whoa, BK used the "Where's the beef?" slogan before Wendys! Wow

Yeah white people would get offended on behalf of the native Americans and the only people that would go to Burger King would be native Americans
Honestly tho

groovy!

Is it just me or does the whooper looks a lot bigger back then compared to what it looks now?
yes they were.Now i can pick one up with 3 fingers.Back then it did take 2 hands. they were huge. the bun was enormous.
+warr machine65 Oh
They be ripping people off
No you just bigger
They Whoppers were bigger in the'70's, and the Whaler was better tasting than the current fish sandwich.
Back then the workers sang to the customers. Today they’re like “what the hell you want?”
Or it's we're declining your order right reserved to refuse service

Yes now we know where's the meet in a Burger King ad inspired Where's the Beef in Wendy's commercials.

That's probably what Spongebob is referencing.

No stuck you head
4:10 whopper whopper whopper whopper, but it is very old and very vintage
I have worked at two...i have heard years ago the shakes where wonderful and the whopper was bigger and more juicy.

I guess we found where the
Whopper whopper meme was originally inspired from and I loved it
4:51
That was pretty catchy love the trio
They still include the "have it your way" at 3:54 and today's commercial
6:40 The dog was like:
"Hey guys, where's my whopper?"
I like the BK America Loves Burgers commercial from 1976. The one with vocals by Florence Warner.
Love jingle Have it your way still 2023
Thanks alot for posting.I have a BURGER KING right beside my Neighborhood.
4:10-4:18 the way the Burger King girl sings I would call her a Burger Angel
There was one of which a boy flicks pickles off of his burger. It's a BK ad from 1975-6.
4:10 this is where they got the whopper song music
Thanks for the memories. "Hold the Pickle! Hold the Lettuce!" ha ha ha
I believe all these ads are post-1971, as the Iron Eyes Cody Keep America Beautiful PSA debuted in 1971.
the whopper jr has been getting very much smaller if you havent noticed
It makes me feel homesick of the 70s as a kid back then.
It was an awesome time....except for worrying about possible nuclear annihilation. You wouldn't worry about that now...wait a minute....
That jingle introduced in the ad beginning at 3:47 really defined those commercials in the 1970s, but now that it's been revived to a degree, I'm curious:
Who was actually SINGING that Burger King jingle back then, and is she still alive?
Is it Judy Collins, Joan Baez or Florence Warner?
"Lieutenant, if I want WHOPPER, I will have a damn WHOPPER!" is what I would've said.
Loved those little 'Burger Bundles' mid-80's I remember.
I like the first whooper song better than the new one
I never knew burger king was so old!
Derrick Perez It started in Miami in 1954, Thats 64 years ago... not as old as you're making it sound
It started in Miami back in '54. But didn't expand Nationwide until 1965. Two Years after McDonalds did.
GrowlingLucario7 actually it started in Jacksonville, FL , the headquarters is in Miami though
Tornado1994 actually it started in Jacksonville, FL , the headquarters is in Miami though
From 1965 to 1975, here's a compilation of Burger King commercials.🙂
*1976.
I can see why being a jingle writer was a thing back then
So the first commercial was funny as hell 20 years ago. Today it's considered racist, but still funny.
Its not racist. Its Silly!
I’m half Native American and spoken to actual Indigenous people about this classic 1969 ad, They Love It! They think it’s utterly silly!
It's basically making fun of them taking over the land and forcing natives to assimilate into their culture.
That is so sad, cultures must be errassed.
Everything is considered racist in this silly era
Great Commerical Jingle Songs!
Love the soul version the best!
I thought that was a great one, and very funny.
WOW ... I highly enjoyed these! Big push for the Whopper!
Yes They Were Classic Back Then!
My favorite is (serve it your way have it your way) 3:43
70s we're sooooo wonderful and innocent.
Agp army where y’all at!?!?! RIP AGP 💔
4:10 I didn’t know they had the have it your way song back then! All though they didn’t say “at BK, have it your way!” Say the line lady!
If comercials were like this then i wouldn't skip a single one
Did anyone notice they were handcuffed together at 3:32
