TV ads for McDonald’s if you’re looking

top 10 weirdest McDonald’s commercials
number 10 minions
at McDonald’s the minions have arguably
become some of the most marketable
characters of the 21st century so it
shouldn’t come as a surprise that
McDonald’s has gotten in on the minion
mayhem featuring these mischief makers
and several humorous commercials
[Music]
and especially fun ad follows the yellow
miscreants as they shout on a meal at
Mickey D’s high jinks naturally ensue as
one minion starts blowing milk bubbles
this commercial ultimately reminds us
but it’s not only ok to play with your
food at McDonald’s it’s actually
encouraged happy meals and minions they
go together like fries and a milkshake
[Music]
number nine LeBron James versus white
Howard I’ll pay you for my lunch
Barcelona Miz watches the other one eat
in 1993 McDonald’s released an epic
Michael Jordan vs. Larry Bird commercial
but more on that later for now all you
need to know is that marketers have been
using that ad as a gold standard ever
since
released almost two decades later this
modern remake comes pretty close the
torch is passed to LeBron James and
Dwight Howard who in a setup similar to
the original try to top each other’s
trick shots while both play a good game
neither one comes out victorious why
because Larry Bird has already claimed
the meal for himself
cleverly bringing things full circle
state
[Music]
taken on Story number 8 the new mcdlt
and look at McDonald’s do mcdlt while
he’s best known for his television role
on Seinfeld Jason Alexander actually
rose to stardom on the Broadway stage in
this 1985 commercial for the mcdlt
Alexander showed off his singing and
dancing gift not to mention a relatively
full head of hair from basil under cool
cool sides of a new video Alexander is
beyond ecstatic about McDonald’s latest
product which keeps the hot side hot and
the cool side cool we’ve never seen
somebody gets so excited about a
sandwich
well except from maybe George Costanza
the mcdlt might have been discontinued
but this commercial continues to the
light even decades later
number 7 little sister little sister
you were – I was too 80s commercials in
general were notorious for being corny
and while this McDonald’s ad is
certainly no exception it’s also
undeniably sweet the commercial
chronicles the relationship between a
little sister and her older brother we
follow them through the little sisters
toddler days through her late teenage
years with McDonald’s never failing to
bring the siblings together
[Music]
of course the ad comes complete with a
sentimental song that would have fit
perfectly in a sappy moment from an 80s
sitcom cheese factor aside anybody with
a close siblings is bound to get the
feels watching this commercial reminding
us that it’s high time we got together
with them to split some fries number 6
fishing McDonald’s commercials are
usually very bright and optimistic but
this one takes some surprisingly dark
turns of course that’s largely what
makes it so hilarious the ad opens with
a wife dropping off her husband so he
can go fishing the two clearly aren’t
getting along and cannot wait to get
away from each other with a bag of
McDonald’s buy aside the husband
suddenly finds himself face-to-face with
a sea monster rather than eating the
human in its midst however the creature
chow down on some fast food the husband
then decides to invite his wife the next
time he goes fishing but has her hold
the bag like we said
dark but funny
number five hamburger University good
morning class the Hamburglar also known
as Hamilton B hurdler is always hatching
plans to steal McDonald’s hamburgers in
this commercial he attempts to pull off
a heist at hamburger University
professor Ronald McDonald’s is
completely oblivious as the Hamburglar
snatches the patties up fortunately he
catches the thief in the nick of time
and sends him to detention this ad is
cute inventive and funny but it does
raise a couple of questions for starters
why is there a university for hamburgers
also are all McDonald’s hamburgers
intelligent beings if so could this have
been the inspiration for sausage party
number four I’m loving it I’m loving it
it is a place I’m lovin it is arguably
the most popular campaign McDonald’s has
ever produced the slogan is actually
derived from McDonald’s German based
agency hiya and partner jörgen Canales
the agency’s chief executives described
McDonald’s as quote one of the simplest
pleasures of daily life and that’s the
perfect way to describe this commercial
which depicts people having a good time
partaking in everyday activities large
and small no guts no glory
stumbled in the wrong territory the
imagery is pretty straightforward but
that’s exactly why this ad works so well
it makes you appreciate life especially
comfort food
what’s more the commercial features
vocals by Justin Timberlake who recorded
a single in 2003 entitled on Lebanon in
addition to the well-known jingle number
three two all beef patties today the Big
Mac is MacDonald’s flagship menu item
introduced in 1967 the hamburger would
eventually inspire the two all beef
patty slogan which lists off all the
essential ingredients that make up a Big
Mac this catchy jingle appeared in
numerous commercials over the years plus
the best variation aired in the mid 80s
it opens with a female choir singing the
infectious tune a male choir then chimes
in giving the add an extra layer of
atmosphere never before has a fast-food
jingle sounded more angelic likewise the
Big Mac has never looked tastier with
two all-beef patties special sauce
lettuce cheese pickles onions on a
sesame-seed bun just as promised lettuce
cheese pickles onions on a sesame-seed
bun are you’re drooling on the mic
number two you deserve a break today
grab a bucket and mop Rob the bottom and
pop advertising legend Keith Reinhardt
develops see you deserve a break today
slogan in the 1970s this inspired a
jingle by Kenny Carin resulting in one
of McDonald’s most iconic commercials
ever the ad centers on several employees
as they give a mcdonald’s location a
good scrub down what a shine on the
floor
one reason was that their toe-tapping
production number overwhelms the
audience with good cheer as if all
negativity has been washed away
Ray Kroc the founder of the McDonald’s
Corporation was a stickler for
cleanliness his desire for a clean
restaurant really shines through in this
ad resulting in a welcoming comforting
environment where the whole family can
take a much-needed break before we get
to our top pick here are some honorable
mentions in my mom calling oh okay
why Lyndsey number one the showdown
what’s in the bag good
Big Mac fries while the showdown between
LeBron and Dwight was fun nothing can
quite top the original classic airing
during Super Bowl 27 this commercial
involves a game of horse between Michael
Jordan and Larry Bird only one can walk
away with the Big Mac but these two
appear equally matched Michael and Larry
continue to raise the stakes with each
shot off the wall doesn’t it
in the end they decide to shoot hoops
from the top of a building literally
taking their game to new heights this ad
proved so popular that it inspired a
follow up with even crazier trick shots
and Charles Barkley although their game
doesn’t have a clear Victor this
commercial is a true winner nothing but
