McDonald's commercial: Hot Food (1986)

[Big Disney Fan]

Here's a commercial for McDonald's from 1986, about "hot food": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8x563x0NN-A.

What do you think of it?

They should've reminded everyone that their hot coffee is hot.

They should've reminded everyone that their hot coffee is hot.

But this commercial mentions nothing about coffee.

Looks like it was their way to cash in on the popularity of the McDLT which emphasized how one side stayed hot.

Here's a fun one with Jason Alexander, by the way.

He's referring to an infamous lawsuit: http://www.slip-and-sue.com/the-famous- ... revisited/

Er . . . I know way too much about McDonald's.

I kinda figured that.

But now, what of the commercial itself?

I dunno, while it's a little goofy and hyper it's a pretty typical commercial from the era.

I could be mistaken, but I think that woman there looks like Deniece Williams.

I think it's pretty logically stupid- everyone knows the food will be "warm" (their version of hot is really just warm) when they order it. But it's a cheesy 80's commercial and a very visually attractive one at that. Nostalgia-wise, it's an A+.

The 80's and 90's had kickass commercials.
