The King is the mascot for the fast-food chain Burger King. He was originally used in the 1970's as an advertising mascot for the Burger King Kids Meal, competing with Ronald McDonald of McDonald's. After a 2-decade hiatus, he was brought back in 2003 to advertise some of Burger King's latest promotions. These commercials included:

• A man waking up in bed only to see The King lying next to him with some food.
• Another man driving in the middle night when all of a sudden, the King shows up in the backseat with some food.
• A woodcutter chops down a tree, but as it falls, the King is revealed right in front of him.

Due to the nature of these commercials, the King was often nicknamed as "a sexual predator", and eventually, the phrase "Where is Your God Now?" surfaced. The first sites were created in March of 2005 and slowly became a major fad on YTMND. Sites will often parodize the King as either "a supreme god" or a "sexual predator". Some sites will just poke fun at the King, for example, one such site shows the King stealing a football from Packers quarterback Brett Farve during a NFL regular season game.

Music Choice

Most sites use the popular "Requiem for a Tower" music. As of recently though, the choice of music has been diverse.
