I love the actual kingdom aspect of the characters like Sir Shakes a Lot is a knight and Duke of Doubt is a Duke. All parts of a kingdom. They should bring these guys back and make the restaurants look like a castle!

I was born in 1978! I love these classic Burger King Commercials with the very handsome and talented actor who portrayed the Marvelous Magical Burger King with his magic ring and the classic songs, and fantastic puppets, costumes, crown and boots! Thank you for posting and sharing this terrific compilation of these classic Burger King commercials!

Dude the old King was a pretty cool mascot, I wish they'd actually bring him back.

I like that every kid gets a toy prize, and not just those whose parents buy a kid’s meal.

They made it look like going to Burger King for fast food was about the most fun anyone could have. McDonald's did the same thing. Good times.

When I was a kid I loved getting up early every Saturday mornings to watch cartoons and to see those Magic Burger King commercials.

I like how you went from an actually entertaining mascot to hey kids come into my van and get some chicken fries

You're welcome! I'm very attached to these characters and I think it's a shame that most people don't know them.

I remember watching them during the commercial breaks for Captain Kangaroo as well as Saturday cartoons

BK had the best prizes.I remember having a nifty-looking likeness of "The King" that perched on top of my pencil and a flute and a frisbee that were both shaped like pickles. Eating the delicious whopper and getting that particular week's prize was the highlight of my fifth-grade year ('78-'79). It's been 35 years, but all the characters (and the jingles too) came back to me in a few seconds. Sweet memories!

I remember watching Burger King's "Burger King Kingdom" commercials very well during Saturday morning cartoons when I was very young. The evil Duke of Doubt looks like a cross between Phil Collins and Quentin Tarantino. It is sad and odd when The Marvelous Magical Burger King returned not the same, but with a smiling mask in the mid-2000s.

Thanks for posting these.It was my Late 70's-Early 80's teen days,I remember seeing those ads then for real.By the time I reached my Senior Year in High School in Escanaba,Michigan,it finally got a BK in town!.

Thanks for posting this.

This is a great collection of Burger King Commercials.

Enjoyed these segments when I was kid. Sure brings back a lot of fond memories.😳👍😉🤗🙂🙃

The very handsome and extremely talented actor and singer who portrayed the marvelous magical Burger King in 1977 and in many others was the best Marvelous Magical Burger King! The one who did his own singing! Can't understand why they replaced him! I was born in the late fall of 1978. Thank you for posting and sharing this!

Wow thanks a lot for introducing me to these characters that I didn't even know!

Been 50 years and I still find myself singing the Burger king song. Loved the old and the new king. When they stoped the king I stopped eating there food for the most part.

These ads are absolutely wonderful. Why in the world did Burger King stop using these characters and this format? Both BK Kids and the Creepy King were completely awful. I never wanted to eat at Burger King due to them, but these terrific ads actually make me want to eat at Burger King. These ads are just fantastic. I simply can't understand why Burger King stopped using them.

See those last few commercials show the right way of teaching kids to be active with fast food mascots

For a corporate mascot the Magic Burger King seems like a pretty earnest and sincere guy

In the 1st commerical The boy off of different strokes is in there Shavar Ross

There are a few BK commercials I remember that I haven't found yet on youtube: 1) First two appearances of the Duke of Doubt 2) First appearances of Burger Thing and Wizard of Fries 3)The Wizard of Fries geting the Duke's goat 4) The Burger King walks on walls 5) The Duke's birthday 6)Burger King: "I'll be right down with my magic rope!" 7) "A fiendish plan the Duke devised; he tried to get those shakes and fires!" I'm sure here's others but I can't remember them all.

I don't understand why they used that weird King for Burger King, instead this more pleasant magical rhyming king in the 70s commercials. No wonder they don't do so good nowadays. The old Duke of Doubt is less creepy than the New Burger King.

Burger King Kingdom - Burger King's answer to McDonald's McDonaldland. In the Burger King Kingdom, the Magical Burger King serves a dual purpose: The King entertains the children who visit his kingdom, much like Ronald McDonald does, when the children visit McDonaldland. The King is the leader of the Burger King Kingdom as its king, much like Mayor McCheese is the leader of McDonaldland, as its mayor.

The one BK commercial in which the Burger King was riding on an unicycle brought back great memories.

Great compilation!! That rub off transfer premium was a direct steal from Presto Magix.

I think the Burger King's ring is an infinity stone

I like how most of the early burger king commercials had nothing to do with burgers.

I had remembered the Duke of Doubt being more of an evil character, but looking at these commercials with fresh eyes, I now see that he was really more of an asshole rather than evil.

It would have been cooler if they made Burger King look like a castle

I was in one of these BK commercials. I saw myself at around 4:40.

In the late 70"s they gave out tall glasses with the Burger King logo. That was cool.

The "Burger King" visited the newly opened location in our neighborhood back in 1976 and performed a magic show on the back of a truck that opened into a stage. A friend of mine was chosen to go up on stage as his assistant, and whenever BK would ask a question, he would quickly whisper the funny answer that was written for it so my friend could announce it to the audience.

I was so sure that the King was played by former Red Sox third baseman Wade Boggs back then, found out it wasn't - and every time I saw his (King) face I was creeped out totally! LOL

"If you can do magic, make me a shake!" Says the Duke of Doubt to the King! And the King did just that!

"He's the Marvelous Magical Burger King. He can do most anything..." As long as it has to do with hamburgers ;-).

Burger King Commercials from the '70s and '80s... what an awesome collection of the past! #SuperAwesome

Princess Viola: That's my father, the way I've always known he was!

Hmmm I know a certain someone who's experienced with talking about obscure characters, he even has a review show for them. Perhaps it'd be a good idea to tell him about it. It shouldn't take long to make a show about these characters given how long they were around.

Why do I get the feeling that the Burger King and the Duke of Doubt are crossovers of Ronald McDonald and Captain Crook?

In the 1st Commercial,That was the late Jackson Beck announcing.

Before the King stalked people

Too nostalgic to live

Man... that last commercial...

I was born just barely too late for this amazing campaign...it's a shame. Also... 11:42 and especially 6:36 Those will never come back thanks to the choking hazard hysteria.

Saturday, June 10, see ya there!

Can you imagine these Burger King characters collaborate with hello kitty and friends for the special Burger King collaboration with special kids meal toys and merchandise and a kuromi slush and Sanrio themed menu items?

They had one live Parrot in the Commercial Ads,Frank Welker dubbed the voice of the Parrot.

I remember one of these that I had been looking for the longest, where the Duke was trying to ruin one of the King's tricks with a pie.That one to me was hilarious but so far I hadn't found it. 0:20 Was that the kid that played Dudley on Different Strokes? Thanks for sharing these.

Dang... I missed the burger king by 40 years

Sir Shake-A-Lot is just fiending for cocaine

I always got a big kick out of the Duke of Doubt getting his comeuppance! I LMAO when he ended up in the juke box!

With the McDonalds and Buger King commercials they had you'd think Wendey's would have some characters too.

1:15 they literally used tanner the mgm lion’s roar

9:59 The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds (2013)

THEY USED TO HAVE TOYS edit: now the ads say oh go and buy our new farm house whopper or oh the burgers are better at Burger King

I really like the fairytale theme with the old ads i wish they bring the theme back.

do you have the one where new orleans saints center john hill is catching burgers standing up in the sun roof of a car? sometime around 80-83.

Have it your way, BK!

A BLOW PIPE WHICH FLOATS ON AIR! BURGER KING, YAY.

"Watch me kids, when I twist my ring, like magic WE'RE ATBURGER KING!" That ring would work perfectly for kids with overprotective parents, so the King could aid in their escape to a forbidden realm of magic, food and fun...of course the feeling of liberation would be sadly temporary, cos kids have to go back home and be hurt by mom and dad....again...And the real clincher: when mom and dad explain WHY this Burger king seems....dangerously pervy, shall we say?

Bring back the old king BK!

what's crazy is that advertising hasn't changed much at all

Maybe there should be a modern movie where Ronald McDonald and Magical Burger King come back and are waging war on each other.
