1980's Burger King Christmas Commercial - Lea Thompson, Elisabeth Shue & Sarah Michelle Gellar

[model88man]

Think about the casting agent they all had to blow to get this gig, that guy is probably some loser, but he's got those two bims on his scorecard, nice...

[acepcdr]

Why were there no boys or men selling burgers in the 80s?

[mikekaraoke]

@acepcdr rember that pepsi ad with M.J Fox loved that in 80s, i know i ts not BK but still lol

[antnyp73]

Who knew BK was such a star-maker!

[byrd56]

So much future star power packed into that one 30-second holiday ad.

[Contractnik]

It would be cool if they got these actresses back together at an awards ceremony to spoof this...

[pollyisagoodbird]

all they needed was claudia wells and it's be burger king goes back to the future

[coffeefrenzy74]

she used to say Merry Christmas McDonald's but bcuz of the whole lawsuit thing w/ the first commercial and saying another company's name in the add they had to change it...lame

[cstoczyn]

@coffeefrenzy74 No, It's Not

[coffeefrenzy74]

@cstoczyn its cute either way but the fact that they had to change it is lame

[nathanstan]

Ahhh, a time of innocence when saying "Merry Christmas" wasen't politically incorrect and loving a burger was a good thing. Bring on the double beef whopper with cheese!!!

[vigo894]

@nathanstan= Fuck Political Correctness. If I want to say Merry Christmas to an atheist, then I will. And if he/she has a problem with that, I got two other words for him/her.

[nathanstan]

@vigo894 I agree with you.

[WastedPo]

Wow. Total 80's fantasy world. Lea Thompson and Elisabeth Shue by a Christmastime fireplace.

[hebleedsglitter]

OMFG, Sarah Michelle Gellar totally gets more screen time than future Oscar winner Elisabeth Shue and the lesbo looking Lea Thompson!

[RyT1994]

@hebleedsglitter The whole reason why Sarah Michelle Gellar had more screen time was due to a commercial dispute between McDonalds and Burger King, saying BK burgers were better than McD's, which started a whole lawsuit thing, and the girl saying this in the commercial was little Gellar. The "Merry Xmas McDonalds" message said by SMG was referring to that commercial (which can be seen here on YouTube).

And Elizabeth Shue was only nominated for the Oscar, not win it.

[RyT1994]

@RyT1994 Well not that I just re-watched the commercial, they edited the "Merry Xmas McDonalds" out of the sentence...Haven't seen this variant of the commercial before. I know Jay Leno aired the one with the McDonalds thing when Sarah Michelle Gellar was a guest on the show.
