Has anyone seen the new Mc Donald commercials? the ones where normal looking people in normal situations talk to imaginary chicken thieves? Are they trying to target mentally unhinged individuals? Personally they kinda piss me off..making no sense what so ever...and just being randomly annoying. have they tried everything else?

I haven't eaten McDonalds in years. It's all about Burger King.

But yes... I agree. The only other company that advertises more is Nike. And look how dumb their ads are. They've done everything else.

I'd like to know who's responsible for these adds. I'm a pacifist, but I could make an exception this once, right Buddha?

I hate it. What's up with the guy protecting his Chicken Selects from...nobody? It just shows how stupid advertising is going to this days. It's quite sad.

I think everyone would be signifcantly better off if McDonalds went out of buisness. I know I don't have enough willpower to stay away, and now that I'm past my adolescent years, I'm startin' to pack on the pounds.

I end up talking to myself on the street... trying to will myself not to go in... I'm weak.

If you want chicken, go to Boston Market.... MMMMMMMmmmmMMMMMmmmmmm

guthmund

I don't like them because the ads are stupid. But, then again, out of the thousands of commercials you see a day, how many are intelligent and funny.

Advertising has always played to the lowest common denominator, but lately, these McDonald's commercials seem particularly bad.

How about the one where the little kid is rapping about his "Soul-Glo" Dad going to McDonald's on a Saturday? For that matter, how about the whole stupid campaign..."I'm lovin' it." Jeezy Creezy, that's fucking stupid.

I guess, in the end, it doesn't matter. They've got what they want. People appear to be talking about the ads. We are, right?

I haven't eaten a single McDonald's ever since those chicken select commercials aired. I don't plan to eat at McDonalds ever again.

Take that! You bastards!

It's all about the KFC if you want chicken any way.

McDonald's sucks ass anyway. So it doesn't surprise me that they're trying to put some whacko commercials on tv to try and garner business and revenue. For me it's Burger King or Wendy's

thatoneguy

Along the same vein, maybe slightly off-topic, but has anyone seen "Super Size Me"? That will make you never want to eat McDonald's again for sure! haha Definitely makes you think about how bad the food there actually is for you.

combatmedicjen

Yeah, seeing schizophrenic people protecting their precious chicken from the evil chicken thief just weirds me out.

tom12

Wendys is where its at. the quality in McDonalds food has gotten worste and worste over recent years

Grey

I think you'd all stop eating fast food if you paid close attention to the people who prepare it. I won't eat anything unless I can see the process from start to finish.

It's usually the french fries that I end up rejecting because most of the workers will pick up the container from the top with their sweaty palms touching the exposed fries. I've also witnessed workers picking up stray fries from the counter-tops and dropping them into my bag.

At the local Wendys last month, the cashier took my money, handed me my change, then immediately started preparing my burger. No, he wasn't using gloves. After a few choice comments on personal hygiene, I walked out without even asking for a refund.

At a Hungry Howies, I couldn't help but notice the manager who was obviously sick with a bad cough. He had the courtesy to cover his mouth, but I had to walk out when he started preparing my pizza.

The worst I saw was at a Tubby's, where the cashier was licking her fingers every time she reached for a paper wrapper for the subs she was wrapping.

I could go on, but you get the point.

DJ Happy

Wendy's burgers are square. That is just wrong.

Blackthorn

I go to McDonald to buy coffee and to drop a duece Their cans are usually much cleaner than those at rest areas.

Their tag line should go something like this:

McDonald's...where America goes to take a poop! I'm lovin it!

Their new advertising campaign is nothing short of horrible. Ive made it a point not to go there after their "im lovin it" commercials came about. they are extremely irritating.

Ive been expecting their stock to go down, but no dice the last time I checked

mkultra

Those commercials are awful. McDonald's ads are always awful. in fact, the McDonald's experience as a whole can pretty much be described as awful.

lancenig

Yeah I stopped eating mcD's after i tried those nasty little chicken things. They were hard and just all round bad. One of them i think had been over cooked (maybe left in the fryer twice) I don't know but it was a bad experience and I've just never really felt like going back. Oh and Grey i'm with you on the whole people that prepare the food thing, I was at a pizza place with my girlfriend and I noticed none of the people had on hair nets, I really didn't think too much of it until I got back to my girls dorm room and took a bite of hair pizza lol. It was bad, a huge nasty long hair.....trust me i didn't eat pizza for awhile after that.

I love Big Macs. The rest of the foods sucks though.

That new chicken deal they have for some reason makes me sick to my stomach whenever i see it on tv. Love the Wendy's and Steak n' Shake though

skier

McDonalds is trying to sell an image with their 'i'm lovin it' commercials. Association of mcdonalds food with everyday events that you feel good about. mcdonalds = feel good

people nowadays go to McDicks because they ate their happymeals as a kid and find eating there safe and comfortable, not because the food is good for them/tastes awesome.

Never seen that commercial. Havent eaten much mcdonalds since Supersize Me. a little scared to now.

deadhero

I stopped eating at Mcdonald's long ago because of the "i'm lovin' it" ad campaign.

Hobo Moe

That one McDonalds commercial I hated, but they replaced it with a similar one.

It's the one where the black couple is on the airplane, and the porno music is playing in the background while they eat there chicken nuggets and everyone else on the plane wants them (the nuggets) so badly. When the attendant comes to take there trash, the black women yells "You better don't!". What the fuck? What does that even mean? Are they trying to kill the respect of the black people?

Chemical Smoo

Bada ba ba baaa... I'm loving it... PUKE!

thefictionweliv

I have to agree the Wedney's Triple Cheeseburger is vien cloggingly delicious.

tspikes51

Apparently McDonald's advertising campaign is working, you are all talking about it, are you not??? On the contrary, those commercials have made me want to eat there less.

hokieian

I cut waaaayyyyy back on my fast food consumption after watching that.

And the scariest part isn't even in the movie. It's in the bonus features where he does that experiment with the french fries.
Apparently, McDonalds french fries don't grow mold.

bonehed1

omg you should be shot for saying that about Burger King....IMHO that place is nasty and so is McDonalds.....its all about IN-N-OUT baby wootah...

The chicken select commercials are the most inane ones running on TV right now. A close second is the one from Chevy with the bratty kid in the carseat doing the takeoff checklist with his Dad

xepherys

"Vein cloggingly delicious"? That's frickin' hilarious! Fast food all-in-all is pretty putrid, but I still enjoy it now and again. Wendy's IS at the top... better nuggets, better burgers and the best value meal in town. Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers are tasty! I just wish they had better fries! (

phredgreen

heh. haven't eaten mcdonald's since july... and that was just a measly breakfast sandwich because i was starving. i've sworn off most fast-food burger places just because they're generally unhealthy and the sanitary conditions at most of these places wouldn't pass the most lenient inspections.

lol....thats why I go to In-N-Out because I can actually walk up to the window and watch them make my burger so I can tell whats going on and how clean it is...I may just be lucky though because that burger joint has an A on the window and they are always cleaning when I go in there...shrug...suspicious or not?

haha... theres like only mcdonalds wehre i live or expensive restaurants... sucks.. I guess I eat my own food now (which is slightly healthier than McDonalds) haha.

Don't eat McDonald's as much now, I used to eat it for lunch everyday, which was crazy, and realized how much money i save if I eat my own lunch.

hunnychile

That's true. I don't do fast food places....ever. Period.
