Burger King's Whopper commercial is polarizing on social media. The hilarious proof
“Whopper, Whopper, Whopper, Whopper. Junior, double, triple, Whopper.”
You can probably hear this famous Burger King commercial without actually listening to the song. Personally, it’s stuck in my head as I’m writing this.
The ad – part of the restaurant’s “You Rule” campaign with sister commercials earworming similar tunes – came out late last year but is already popular on social media, whether you love it or hate it. I’m indifferent about it, but I appreciate stellar marketing.

What even is a hoagie? Why this local pizzeria staple still matters
It seems there’s a new joke or parody video about the song on Twitter and TikTok every day. So, considering the importance of this topic, I decided to gather various reactions to the polarizing commercial. These posts show just how contentious the campaign has become over the last few months.
The Enquirer reached out to Burger King for comment but has not yet received a response. We also requested extra pickles. No word on that yet, either.

Catchy songs often get hate. And the Whopper ad isn’t excluded from this treatment.

Not everyone seems to despise the commercial, with many making fun jokes about it instead.
