12729733, iono fam we may just be on dif wavelengths altogether
Posted by dba_BAD, Tue Feb-17-15 11:27 PM
but i mean. all of it lol. the whole thing. mcdonalds can 'tell it' cause it knows 'whats happenin here?' mcdonalds has people feeling 'real' and 'alive?' truth? joy? hope? dreams? future? love?

you want fries w that?

i kinda think irl mcdonalds is the antithesis of all of those things, at the expense of those depicted at the ad

but i kinda already think ronald and them are the devil, so maybe i should just bow out of this one
12729734, Is this something you worked on?

So if the goal was to create a desire for the egg mcmuffin, you win.

aint that bunk?
12729773, This is so black I'm wondering how it passed the censor.
Posted by Kira, Wed Feb-18-15 01:32 AM
Where are the white people and why is everyone dressed in those clothes? At least have one or two slightly profileable white people.

With all that said, this is a dope commercial.

Cool cool. What exactly did you do in it.

What was the process?
12729815, A few things...
Posted by Stoogie, Wed Feb-18-15 08:07 AM
-Ain't too many brothers out there doin graf work like that anymore...kinda doesn't fit who we are currently.

- Marvin Gaye's music doesn't fit either...should've kept the music consistent w/ the visual theme which I believe is more hip hop than old school soul classic.

-nobody celebrates eating or getting McDonalds like that...especially "urban graffiti writing" youth.

-McD lightweight just co-signed vandalism too

12729817, I like it...good work
Posted by gumz, Wed Feb-18-15 08:19 AM
Wish it was an ad for something else but that's a diff post altogether...that has nothing to do with you work and more to do with my thoughts on McDs
12729820, Who came up with the concept?
Posted by Marla, Wed Feb-18-15 08:26 AM
McD's has been putting out these Calvin-esque commercials targeting the black community (with a "we don't mind that you're the criminal element" type sentiment) since the 80's. I believe they are deeply rooted in the community but has there ever been a commercial that finds a way to focus on the minority franchised McDs that are in "the community"?

The commercial was colorful, the sentiment was nice, but I don't attribute that level of positivity or community uplift to McDonalds. Largely because they put out these hoodtastic commercials year after year. There is (was) a high percentage of minority employment all the way up to the corporate level. Ronald McDonald House offers scholarships in the community to high school seniors, in addition to the Ronald McDonald houses built to house the families of sick children for free. They sponsor local sports teams. It would be nice to see how they are a part of the community instead of the minorities are shiftless goodhearted criminals, but we love them anyway.
12729821, lol nm

12729989, Cool clip, but LOL @ using Marvin Gaye to sell McDonalds.
Posted by initiationofplato, Wed Feb-18-15 10:37 AM
No offense, but that disgusts me. Especially using a track from What's Going On. McDonalds stands for everything What's Going On stands against.

Way to pimp Marvin Gaye to sell poison!
12730005, dope. congrats.

But until Calvin gets his property I'm boycotting McDonalds.

12730376, I like it better than that one with the tone-deaf chick "singing"
Posted by ChiBrownSkinLady, Wed Feb-18-15 01:11 PM
I wanna know who gave THAT the go-ahead? Whose cousin/gf/sister/wife was she? That commercial evokes a serious negative reaction anytime I hear it.
