Jimmy Kimmel makes fun of KFC Philippines Cheese Top Burger




KFC Phils. has unveiled their new Streetwise value meal called the Cheese Top Burger. Like the name suggests, the burger has cheese on top of its burger bun.


Jimmy Kimmel made fun of it on his show by making a parody of the commercial for the Chees Top Burger.



Here's the real commercial for the Cheese Top Burger.

The whole idea for this is really stupid imo, but some people find it a bit racist. What do you think, ONTD?

I don't know how it's racist and I'd need someone to explain their views, but usually what happens is people are victims of racism and constant exploitation whenever they come up. So they become hyper vigilant. It has nothing to do with being bored, it's about protecting yourself because you're tired of being a victim.

I know where you're coming from, and I certainly wasn't being serious.

I know finding something offensive doesn't actually stem from boredom or anything like that.

Sorry if I was tactless.

No, it's cool. But I looked at the comments on Youtube and stuff and some people thought it was mocking towards Filipino culture, the way the parody was framed and the voiceovers and stuff. Like the way the tone is exaggerated and stuff.

Ah, that makes sense. I guess it's often hard to see why certain things are deemed offensive when you aren't actually familiar with the culture.

This, for example, is pretty ignorant: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FftZt-Dw_hQ

But I'm sure people in other parts of the world would be confused by my reaction.

I think that's problematic too, ugh I remember when that commercial came out and people were like; "LOL WHAT IS THE PROBLEM THOUGH"
