The staff should have totally abused that.

McDonalds must be really kicking themselves that everyone is talking about their ad.

ButtersSuki · 05-02-2015 11:55AM

Wow. I've seen some awful attempts at creating a viral video before but this is without doubt the worst - and I lasted about a minute. Whoever came up with this idea in Cawley Nea (McDonalds Ad Agency) should be shot along with the person on the client side who approved this. I assume both are female as no man in touch with modern men's thinking would approve this, let alone allow it to be made.

In fairness, the lads are driving awful cars.

"Ooooo but it gets me from A to B and it's all I can afford".

No excuse.

The Feminist-Left via "Safe Ireland" used the term "Man Up" in relation to domestic violence, so I'm not sure why the OP would have a problem with it here.

I'm not a fan of that campaign either

Also,I know FA about cars,but I thought the Focus was a guys car? Colin McRae and all that...

I'm going to assume he owns a Fiat 500 or a Smart One.

Someone should tell their burgers to man up.

Big Mac?
That's a woman's burger isn't it. You'd want to go to the chippers to get a real burger.

To be fair it is 100% quality assured beef from Bord Bia approved farms. Doesn't get more real than that.

Compared to most burgers you get at local chippers its a healthy salad.

I love Big Macs but I do at times crave greasy burgers from the chippers.

Some of us like our Fiat 500's but if it means I have to deal with only having 7.5" I'll live with it I guess.

I was chatting to a friend of mine that owns a BMW, you know the ones that have been made look like something it isn't. He was telling that his girlfriend had got a bit randy and asked him "to give her 8" and make her bleed" so he shagged her twice and smacked her in the face.

I was more talking about the size. 10 minutes after I eat one I need another one.
I wouldn't be expecting a balanced diet out of any type of fast food place.

I agree they're too small and unfilling. Same with the Taste of America burgers.

I'd imagine you only got the burger after signing the release to be featured in the ad.
Who'd pay for actors when people are stupid enough to sell their image for a burger?

Disclaimer: I'd murder everyone I know and love for a life-time supply of McDonalds Double Cheeseburgers but only on the grounds that I could get them at five o'clock in the morning when they're selling their manky breakfasts.

Not everyone gives a **** about their car, They just see it as another appliance.

Saying that, There's nothing wrong with a 206, Focus, Micra, Yaris etc..

What do you drive?

Seriously, there's enough negativity in the world. All they were doing was having a bit of a laugh and giving away food. It's random acts like this that brightens up peoples day. If it had happened to me I'd be laughing about it and telling everyone about it all day.

He is an unfunny standard Irish 'comedian' skin crawling inducing twat.

Is surprises me that so many people still eat in McDonalds when they have access to google and information and common sense. I haven't eaten there since I was young and foolish and hadn't read up about it.

Sometimes I think this. But then I go inside and order 18 chicken nuggets and chips. Because I still can. There will come a day when I can no longer do this, but I am young, and I will gracefully eat my nuggets.

I thought it was a bit of fun. Free burger for a bit of ribbing, good deal.

If I was having a bad day the conversation would probably go like this.

I think they may have had to cherry pick the reactions pretty heavily to avoid ones like the above.
