The Whoppers


The Whoppers were a fictional dysfunctional family used in the marketing for Burger King's signature product, the Whopper. Created by the Miami-based advertising firm Crispin Porter + Bogusky, the ads feature the family in which all male characters are played by actors wearing Whopper costumes.

Advertising campaign

The commercials were designed in 15.5, 30 and 60-second formats and featured Whopper and his son Jr. in an average parent-teen situation. The commercials were all used to promote products on the Burger King value menu.
The ads often feature familiar or risqué comments rephrased for humorous effect like for example, "Get your head out of your ass" becomes "get your head out of your bun", in which "buns" is an American English slang term for buttocks.
