Yeah, Yeah, I know it looks nothing like me, but it's as close as I could get.

Creepy Commercials, Part 1

posted Wednesday, 29 April 2009

[Update:  I thought this was a McDonald's commercial, but thanks to Kathleen for setting me straight - it's a Wendy's commercial.  That makes it all the more funny- this commercial is so awful that I couldn't even remember what it was advertising.]

There are two commercials airing now that really creep me out.  I was all set to post a little thing about each one and include a link to the videos on youtube, but guess what?  Neither one seems to be on youtube.  At least, I can't find them on youtube.  So, I may have to record them myself.  They both air very regularly, so I don't think catching them will be a problem.

The first one is (I think) for McDonalds.  I s'pose it could be for Buger King or Wendy's, since they're practically interchangeable, but I think of it as a McDonald's commercial.  It shows a guy biting into a Big Mac (or quarter pounder, or whopper, or spicy chicken or whatever) at several different stages in his life.  The setting, hairstyles, and wardrobe all change - he goes from a Ridgemont High era locker room to a generic looking "university" frathouse to a generic grunge wannabe to a lamaze class with a pregnant wife, and then in the last shot he's in McDonalds (or wherever) with his wife and kid, and it suddenly looks like all the life has been sucked out of him.  His hair line is receding and he just looks like a shriveled husk who's been beaten down for so long that he's given up on himself.  Meanwhile, the wife looks way hotter than she did before.  It's like she's a succubus, and she's spent the last 5 years sucking away all his life energy.

 

 

I even went to the McDonalds' website to see if they had it online, no dice.  Instead, I found this: 365 Black.  Wow. I'm so glad that McDonald's gave Keith Sweat a chancce to share his love for chicken mcnuggets.  There's definitely not one iota of sarcasm on his face.
