McDonalds - MacTime Rocks On (Australian ad, 1992)

[calilove1942]

LOVE this. so much.

[MoniqueLaTerra]

Would be nice if the ads in australia these days were as good as they used to be

[AustralianAds]

@MoniqueLaTerra do people still watch TV...?

[retrocleo]

What a combination, James dean and David Essex . Great commercial , still have the poster hanging up in the garage.

[fitzysbuna]

yea does look like him! but from what i read they used an American in it who was working at maccas

[polz8]

Is that a young Les Hill in this ad?

[fitzysbuna]

for the monroe ad search Mac Time australian Ad! its there!



[GoldenEra29]

the actor in this looks more like Jimmy Dean than Jimmy Dean himself

[ALFAGOMMA]

So cool. I had forgotten all about it.

[dutto75man]

They replayed this ad around 1997

[staclynn72]

Ive been looking all over for pictures of this actor in the James Dean look alike competition and cant find anything. Anyone know where to find some?

[chaminda123]

These days advertisements are TOO FOCUSED on zooming into the product.....too boring..like DUH!...I can see tomatoes and lettuce flying everywhere on the screen....I think I know what food looks like.......there's nothing awesome about it....nothing to REMEMBER about the product...

[Fairy3012]

OMG, I only thought about this ad the other day, big part of my child hood.

[alphamone]

As I am watching this ad, there is an ad for Hungry Jacks (burger king) playing below the video.

I am amused.

[JonasLoversupport]

man that is one bad man haha

[artrush]

Such a classy Dean tribute, makes me wish it wasn't a McDonalds commercial

[verticalsmurf]

I honestly thought this ad was made only about 10 years ago. Thanks for making me feel old. Still an awesome ad, they should have stuck with the theme.

[razehey]

best maccas ad ever.

[razehey]

best maccas song ever.

[Lasaration]

its James Franco!

[keithbontrager]

I was only a kid when I first saw this ad and I didn't get it then. 18 years on and I still don't know what it's all about.

[Quicksilver1111]

@keithbontrager Doesn't really matter though. It's still awesome.

[DancingShulammite]

Now THAT...WAS....SSSUUUPPPEEERRRR­ awesome!

[ByeByeBelly]

what the FUCK any of this has to do with mcdonalds, I'll never know. Just lost respect for him!

[Xataret]

@ByeByeBelly nobody likes you jennifer

[aguteempasil]

@ByeByeBelly hes eating a big mack...its not him btw, its another actor.

[stitchgrl777]

The posture/hair/and collar in the face really captures Dean but I'm curious about what he looks like straight from the front, in color.

[ChoonDSW]

ahhhhh.

I still remember this ad, i was a kid when this ad was on aussie tv.

for some reason, i thought of it and looked it up on you tube, sure enough, here it is.

thanks.

this is one of the best ads ever, not the stupid crap we see today on TV made by dumb asses who's work annoys us when it should entertain us into buying their clients product or service.

[whickystix]

i use to love this ad!

[Remington61189]

what the fuck is wrong with aderts today!!!

[mantletiger]

the fact that we still make commercials about a guy who was only in 3 movies just shows you how HUGE james dean must have been

[eDaaamo]

Thanks for uploading.. been looking for this ad for years.. love it.. brings back a lot of memories

[Fibratu]

I don't get the start of the video where those guys arrive in the car and get into another, what's that supposed to represent ?

[hunkydaboyz]

the girl towards the end near the sailors was apparently Marliyn Monroe aka Norma Jean

[carneeki]

This is my personal touchstone for any McDonald's ad. Nothing has been able to beat it yet :)

[mynameisseals]

Was this really shown in 1992? It just feels like yesterday...the years are flying!

[lovestuff78]

Best Macas ad ever made.. Its still cool now almost 20 years on !

[Delorian82]

this is probably my favourite ad

[BerkeleyBuilt]

james dean was a "bossssss." (rick ross voice)

[Dancing88Mike]

He was a cool cat

[706jdean]

very cool vid

[MrsJimmyDean]

Amazing!!!

[purringkinkygirl]

Classic!

[AirHoward]

Love this ad and love James Dean.

Does anyone know if the song was just made for the ad or a released song that was used??

[horatio382009]

David Essex 1970's. Look it up. There's a full version.

[AdamAdamant2001]

Wasn't there a Marilyn Monroe version as well with the famous "Seven Year Itch" vent scene overlayed with Sir Elton's "Candle in the Wind"?

[AustralianAds]

i can't recall...

[TheLollings]

[pckid888]

Yes there was...but I liked this one better.

[hunkydaboyz]

@AdamAdamant2001

[meow580]

@AdamAdamant2001 yeah there was. I thought they were the only good maccas ads

[jezzeronthecoast]

@AdamAdamant2001 Hi. Yes there was a Monroe add, depicting the scean from the Seven Year Itch where Marilyn's dress blows up in the wind from the subway.

Excuse my spelling.

[gemini16th]

[BanjoOz]

Brings back lots of memories for just an advert. Epic.
