... worst ... Mcdonald Happy Meal commercial... ever. From last year: http://youtube.com/watch?v=JfJTyiW7s10&feature=related

No Grimmace, no Hamburgaler, no Ronald. Just some idiotic looking kid doing idiotic dance moves. It's... it's...

Idiotic? thank you.
Just Macdonald's tying to be hip and trendy.
A great bumper from when Cartoon network was great: http://youtube.com/watch?v=d3bb4crk39o&feature=related#
YEah! Those were the good old day of cartoon network.

Problem is, McD's has been hip before, and actually made decent stuff. We don't need some kid looking more like a doofus than a hipster pretending to breakdance somehow, all by eating McNuggets. he's not using a turn table.

Clearly a commercial made by a 50 year old white guy (Inside joke... ask me later).
