So many things about this commercial are creepy. First notice the kid is walking out of the cow's butt. Second there's fog around the kid so is he a cow fart? Finally the kid's mouth looks CGI as it seems to literally go from ear to ear.

Okay that’s stupid AF

What’s creepier is top execs of a multi billion $ company watched this and said “That’s great!”

What a weird commercial.

Absolutely

Well, personally, meat doesn't make me fart. But, vegetables do and if they think that if we eliminate cows and beef we'll cut down on gas emissions then they're sadly mistaken. There will be enough emission eminating from my S O to offset any less cows.

So what are we to do with all those cows now, make them sacred like they do in India and let them roam all over our streets? They'll be competing with the "protestors" for street space. If they do go out on the streets and I happen to hit one (a cow) I'm taking it home as road kill and eating it as it should be done.

First time I saw that commercial I couldn't even watch the whole thing. It's stupid, like the execs who okayed it.

Has BK eliminated real beef burgers from their menu? This seems counter productive to their business, not that I really care. However BK in the last 10-15 years has really fallen way behind other fast food places, even McD has adjusted their business model toward trends with their McCafe line up and kiosk ordering. I'm guessing BK is trying to find a new niche with the "green" crowd.

And yes, that commercial was very stupid. I'm confused to which audience they were targeting.

By Woke CEO standards this is, "A Modest Proposal." Shere will get this.

Someone should be put in jail for child abuse for making those kids do that.

BK is just virtue signaling with this terrible commercial that they're on board with the 'cow farts are causing glo-bull warming' B.S.

I refuse to even try the frankenburger meat substitute 'burger' and if they ever get rid of real beef burgers, I'll never visit a BK again. And I'd let them know why.

It was a weird commercial, for sure. One of the worst in the history of fast food and that's saying something.

I was prepared for the creepy Burger King doing something stupid. This was worse.

The kid is the Yodling kid Mason Ramsey who became viral video for singing a Hank Williams song at Wal-mart at the age of 10. Now, he is 14 with a major record label under him.

Vegans attacked this commercial and say that cows should never be murdered, and trying to force the majority of us to eat their crappy Veggie burgers.

The Burger King commercial could be a career killer.

Marketing: when you are too frickin weird to major in journalism

When I drove through the northern part of Texas it smelled sooooo bad.

But I’m not giving up beef.

And are people really going to want to eat at Burger King because their cows fart less? If I remember that commercial when I walk in a Burger King, I lose my appetite. People who really care about this aren't eating at Burger King anyway.

And how much of their beef is really single buyer?

Murdered? Since when did humans not get to partake in the food chain?

Makes for a great Chik-Fil-A commercial.

Looks like they win again.

Oh, the winning. Phew

I don't think it has anything to do with you. If I recall it correctly, Burger King is switching to beef from grass fed cattle instead of cattle fattened up by corn and other farm products. Grass fed cows are supposed to produce less methane. No skin off my nose if they do since we've been buying beef from grass fed cows for awhile now - direct from local farmers. Could have been a great ad campaign if they would do it right.
