The Burger King Kingdom was the name of Burger King's answer to McDonaldland during the mid-1970s. In the late-1980s, the Burger King Kingdom characters were largely phased out. Starting in 2003, the Burger King began reappearing in Burger King ads, albeit as a man in a mask and King costume, rather than a full live-action portrayal. Additionally, Sir Shakes-A-Lot's voice can be heard in the video game Sneak King commenting, "The King! He's so sneaky!"
