Very Old Big Mac Commercial-1978

[sasukeluver345]

facepalm

[scottbaino]

#1. Tone down the mega disco beat - we get it. This isn't the Bee Gees.

#2. If you're going to showcase the special sauce, spread it on the bun, don't drop it on there like a bird turd.

[BethThePokegirl]

70s where really messed up

[leerat]

if your going to record a video off your computer screen, at least move the mouse pointer off screen first!!! :)

[publica74]

This Big Mac in this commercial is fertilizer now.

[krelbar]

@publica74 So's the Big Mac you're buying at lunch today.

[neworleans39]

boycott animal abuse

[quaxk]

@neworleans39 but animal abuse is so yummy, you should let go of your tree and try it :)

[floresarts]

The first Big Mac TV commercial aired in 1969.

[MrCorporalTunnel]

The Big Mac came out in 1967 and was introduced Nationwide in 1968. I'm sure commercials for it exist before this one.

[Smartboy8877]

@MrCorporalTunnel

Yes they surely did!

[TheBarbieComedian]

all these niggas in the commercial old as hell Now lmaoooooo

[MrCorporalTunnel]

@TheBarbieComedian

In 33 years, you'll be 'old as hell' too.

[7DARKHELLS]

Big Macs made today could choke a maggot!!!



[PaganScarab222]

@7DARKHELLS rofl

[ChopsForBohemians]

...What others aid...I recall the Big Mac being around considerably early in the 70s , though that music ( Sounding like it's trying to emulate " Staying Alive " ) and the shorts on the girl on the bicycle do screm 1978 !!!!!!!!!

[JENDALL714]

How come Big Boy restaurants never sued Mcdonalds for blatantly ripping off their Big Boy Hamburger right down to the special sauce?

[garrow10]

im from the town were the first big mac was ever created.....just saying

[Smartboy8877]

@garrow10

I have an aunt and uncle who lived in the town where the first "Popeye" cartoons were made! How about that!

[certaintyisabsurd]

The 1st Big Mac TV commercial was in 1969 and featured Hoyt Axton singing The Ballad of the Big Mac. The Big Mac was designed to compete with the Big Boy burger, even though Big Boy restaurants aren't fast food, and the Big Mac had onions, unlike the Big Boy burger at the time. A smaller chain called Gino's Hamburgers was first fast food chain to sell a burger with the club layer bun (triple bun) in 1966, called the Gino Giant. McDonald's followed in 1967 with the Big Mac.

[Smartboy8877]

@certaintyisabsurd

If this is true, then the first commercials came out the year I was born! How about that!

[certaintyisabsurd]

@Smartboy8877 Not quite sure how to respond to that. Congrats? lol. You probably remember their shortlived McDLT that came out in '84 then.

[Smartboy8877]

@certaintyisabsurd

Yes, as a matter of fact, I do remember the McDLT. I never ate one because it came with fixings that I do not care for. However, I know other people who tried it. In any event, I believe that it lasted less than two years.

[artist40hou]

@Smartboy8877 When I worked at Mickey D's, we started MDL'Ts sometime after the 84 olympics, then replaced it with the McLean in 91'. The McLean was the nastiest burger ever sold. Neither one had great sales in our market.

[Smartboy8877]

@artist40hou

I remember the McLean as well as the McDLT. In any event, thank you for all of the interesting information!

[artist40hou]

@Smartboy8877 You're welcome. Yeahhhh.....Keeps the hot side, hot and the cold side cold. The container was such a big peace of foam. Nobody wanted to bother with it, instead they'd just order a Quarter Pounder add lettuce and tomato, lol

I ate my first Big Mac, summer of '74, it was a good sandwich back then, it tastes like $##%!!!!!!!! nowadays.

[Smartboy8877]

@artist40hou

While we are on the topic of Quarter Pounders, I would like you to know that they are one of my favorites!

[monkeysoulpoet]

@artist40hou I LOVED the McDLT. The McLean wasn't so hot. Didn't it have seaweed or something like that in it?

[artist40hou]

@Smartboy8877 %The McFeast came before DLT's

[Smartboy8877]

@artist40hou

I remember the McFeast. I believe that they came out in the late seventies. I never had one, but I think my brother did.

[HCHotPenguin]

I like how everyone is fit and jogging and then they see mcdonalds they go eat there and get fat (And thats how today americans got fat)

[titanicpiano14]

Check out my rendition of Skippy the Kangaroo!

[artist40hou]

They got rights to the name "Big Mac" and tweeked the recipe just a little bit to make it different from Big Boy enough to claim it legally, that's the usual loop hole companies take.

[JENDALL714]

The Big Mac was actually a stolen idea from the The Big Boy Hamburger created in the 1940's! I never understood how Mcdonalds got away with stealing the idea. Everything about the Big Mac from the special sauce to the middle bun is stolen from Bob's Big Boy!

[drewsky684]

Disgusting. The worst are their Mcnuggets...I will never understand why people like that shit

[publicatdamagnificen]

iloveflorida12410: I hate to break the news to you, but your title for this video is so false. This is not the first Bic Mac commercial....Not even close!!

[Smartboy8877]

@publicatdamagnificen

I thought ot this reality as soon as I saw the date that the commercial was made!

[dudemeisterSC]

mcbullshit



[MrAmerica117]

wannabe WHOPPER

[Rescue162]

This is a later commercial for the Big Mac. The original commercial for it was not a "disco" version.

[uhavemooface]

Mcdonalds sucks to.

[gerty335]

Now they cant claim "All beef patties". GMO,SOY, anti-biotic patties, minced onion, pickles simulated cheese, special MSG suace, on a sesame seed soy protein bun.

[tmoney2600thousand]

When did they make these?

[Lovelygal71]

The Big Mac's gone "DISCO" haha, cool. Loved this commercial. :)

[lemonrind]

This video is great. I'm going to share it with my friends. Let me get my camera so I can record my screen...

[bophomet2112]

The bones brigade got me here

[UFOSPACE1999]

OP you fucking COLOSSAL FAILURE BIG MACS WERE WAY BEFORE 1978!!!! YOU BIG DUMMY

[PompousPreacher]

On the side bar to the right there's a 1975 Big Mac commercial.

[RAPREMIXER]

36 people dont like big macs

[TheKarmaComedian]

The Big Mac was introduced in 1967. Google it.

[Mastophales]

Invented in Pittsburgh, Pa...☺

[donkarnagewolf]

@SuperSoylent2 Wrong, Yes the Big Mac went National in 1968, but the first TV ad came out in 1975. "The first run of commercials ran only a year and a half, going off the air in 1976..."

[cciemail]

you used a cheap camcorder to record your PC monitor??? low budget enough? I like that you didn't even bother to move the cursor off the screen. hehe.

and, as others noted, there were big mac commercials long before 1978, you stupid cunt!

[donkarnagewolf]

YT wouldn't let me post the link to wiki - Big Mac

[Chitownrunthis]

OMG is this a real song that song is hottttttt

[sinnspenn]

There was a commercial for the Big Mac in 1975. Sorry

[giraffedreams]

Was this filmed with a McPotato?

[Whokikiwit]

Nice commercial with disco music!!!!

[JhonathanFree]

This is nowhere near the first. Big Macs were around for years before this.

[SuperSoylent2]

The first Big Mac Commercial was in 1968 but - hey - you were only off by 10 years.

[HomeSkillet489]

0:17, special sauce?!?!?!?!? :O, looks more like cow patty to me

[bucky468]

@HomeSkillet489 Yeah, but still pretty damn tasty....Mmmmmmm!!

[HomeSkillet489]

@bucky468 big macs used to be bigger now they're so fucking tiny with like 2-3 times as much bread as meat they're still good but i like em better the way they used to be

[bucky468]

@HomeSkillet489 That's what I meant. By looking at this commercial it looks so good compared to now. Anyone is flippin crazy to buy a tiny B-Mac for $3.49 or whatever they cost nowadays. They used to cost 80 cents back in 1975. I can get a REAL burger w/lots of beef at a REAL restaurant for 2 1/2 dollars more w/french fries on the side.

[DBSpy1]

Big Macs and Jumbo Jacks were big and very good back then,awful jokes now days.

[MrIHateWinter]

the Big Mac came out in 1968.....not 1978

[MrIHateWinter]

sorry but this isnt the first Big Mac McDonalds commercial

[meg28781]

I remember Big Mac commercials long before 1978.

[serialclone]

@meg28781 I can't hear too well, but the people talking sound Australian. Maybe this was the first Australian Big Mac commercial?

Not that it matters. I'm just speculating.

[SuperSbeastify]

@meg28781 damn old hag, make the world a happier place and die already

[artist40hou]

My cousins worked at Mickey D's in '74 and there were big mac commercials on TV and the radio. Anyway I thought it came out in '68.

[Chao772VersionIV]

@artist40hou I'm British because the first Mickey D's opened up in London in 1974

[Smartboy8877]

@Chao772VersionIV

I lived in Australia in the school year 1976/77. McDonalds was already very popular there then! My family would eat there quite a bit!

[Smartboy8877]

@artist40hou

If that is the case, than it came out the same year that Debra Messing and the late Gary Coleman were born! How about that!

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

@meg28781

Yes, the idea originally appeared in 1968 along with the new McD's logo.

[caratristanavera]

we still have that mcdonalds building XD

[HomeskooledVideo]

1978? Hardly the first.

[collegegal79]

i love big macs yumm

[bucky468]

Why hasn't McDonald's sued the creators of Grey's Anatomy for use of the McD terms "McDreamy" & "McSteamy" (supposedly used in an earlier Big Mac TV spot)? I hope it happens. Grey's Anatomy sucks!

[MoonBurgle]

@bucky468 Becuase they paid them to use those two older termsas nostalgia.

[bucky468]

@MoonBurgle And you know this how?

[MoonBurgle]

@bucky468 "pure conjecture"

[bucky468]

@MoonBurgle What are you talking about, "pure conjecture"? Is that just a hunch?

[mrrogue72]

@bucky468 Stop watching it McDouchebag

[bucky468]

@mrrogue72 Oww, your burnt me pretty good, funny boy. That smarts!

[bucky468]

@mrrogue72 Typical GA sucker. Sadly, your show sucks a mighty wind.

[mrrogue72]

@bucky468 Dont know what a GA is, but A Mighty Wind was a great movie. Later.

[bucky468]

@mrrogue72 GA = Grey's Anatomy. I can see it grabbed a sucker like you. And if you don't like it or watch it then why are you defending such drivel on prime time TV?

[bucky468]

@mrrogue72 I wonder who mrrogue is? Todd Palin, is that you? Your family is really into that cyberbullying crap aren't you?

[mrrogue72]

@bucky468 If you feel you are being bullied then I gues we can let Let bygones be bygones. I apologise if you feel that way, you kinda started it but whatever, plus you like Rush and Pink Floyd so I guess you can't be all that bad right.Happy Holidays

[mrrogue72]

@mrrogue72 Never been called a bully and sure as hell aint gonna start now, you might be kidding but I'm not. Peace

[bucky468]

@mrrogue72 The Palin part was a joke even though Todd & Sarah's daughters Bristol & Willow seem to have an odd fascination w/cyberbullying. I was just curious. Sarah's last book was titled "Going Rogue" so I thought "could mrrogue72 be Sarah's hubby Todd?" That's where it came from. Sarah's the butt of jokes in American politics, alongside our current president, who is highly unlikely going to get re-elected in 2012. So again peace. Enjoy the hoilidays while we have them.

[bucky468]

@mrrogue72 Umm no, I don't feel bullied but you're right. Let bygones be bygones. Also right about the holidays. Let's just enjoy the season while it's (still) here, okay?!

Apology accepted. Happy Holidays. Peace.

[Sheri451]

The little boy sounds like he's Australian. and BTW Big Macs started in the 1960s

[hammerogod]

Ahhhh...1978...I was living in Dallas and fucking the brains out of American Airline Stewardesses....2 at a time...a lot.

This bring back memories.

Even though I never ate any of that cardboard pseudo-food crap.

[falcondriver100]

@hammerogod ROFLMAO!! Yeah right, then you woke up with some sticky goo in your drawers!

[hammerogod]

@falcondriver100

LOL

Yes.

[HitMeQuick]

@hammerogod A big fat sweaty burger reminds you of your sexual past does it?

[hammerogod]

@HitMeQuick

Yes, it does....And I'm not sure why.

After I read your comment I had to think about it for a moment...then I realized that Sex and Food are the only things I can remember from 1978.

It's tuff getting old.

[HitMeQuick]

@hammerogod Well at least you didn't turn into a fat bastard. Oh no, hang on...

[fixedgearplanet]

NOT



[Tdawg1978]

1978 Baby!

[Chao772TheThird]

That's not the first advert for a McD's Big Mac because the product was first introduced in 1968.

If it's 1968 the slogan on the first BM advert will be "McDonald's is Your Kind of Place"

[BrooklynEagle]

0:36--the very day 'The Mac' (been calling it that since about '98) actually looks like that in person, this planet will officially be perfecto. :-) Mmmm...but watching this 1978 joint does make you want one real bad, huh? I actually have some Turkey Burgers in my fridge right now that I'm saving for my Foreman grill tomorrow. But I just might have to make a Double Quarterpounder(s) with Cheese/Mac run this Saturday (7/9). I'm mad hungry for one after watching this! Oh, that song was hot!!! :D

[ThebanPhalanx]

@BrooklynEagle

Not even a simple cheeseburger looks like what it is supposed to be.

[WorkSucksChannel]

makes me want a big mac right now

[bellier20]

No, this isn't the first Big Mac commercial on television, as the BM came out in '68 and I can't see McDonald's waiting a decade to promote it.

[DeFrikandelspeciaal]

ik heb toenstraks me eerste big mac gegeten en ik ben al meteen verslaafd hahaha

[MrBeautifulba1]

I miss my innocence. Back when I didn't realize that McDonald's was a manipulative and unhealthy organization, brainwashing children into consuming crap that they didn't need. Thanks McDonalds.

[MrBeautifulba1]

@lemon12cupcake You. Oh You.

[Yogsoggeth]

@lemon12cupcake thats the worst post I have ever seen in my 6 years on youtube....

get a life

[victor22]

@Lucky8Skate lol.Honestly i am not.I love workout since 12 years old,but what to do,I like it!

[uberwut]

@victor22 i hate my metabolism, i eat tons of food too fatten up but im still the stick who gets beat up allot...

[EgaoNoGenki]

@uberwut Please let me trade mine with yours.

[TRUTHBETOLD10]

Special sauce? Its like nicotene

[CrzayMazy]

BMBBE - Big Mac Best Burger EVER!

Gimme one anytime.

[victor22]

I love mcdonalds

[higgledy1]

The Big Mac was introduced in 1968.

[Smartboy8877]

@higgledy1

The same year that Debra Messing and the late Gary Coleman were born! How about that!

[berezin99]

Sorry you're wrong. I bought my first Big mac in 1970. Back then the ad for the Big Mac was two patties, special sauce, lettuce, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun.

[Smartboy8877]

@berezin99

Are you saying that the did not mention the cheese in the commercials back then. If that is so, I wonder why.

[berezin99]

@Smartboy8877

I stand corrected. Now that I think of it, it went Two patties, special sauce, cheese, lettuce, pickels, onions on a sesame seed bun.

It has been 30 years after all!

[Smartboy8877]

@berezin99

Thank you for the correction!

[simba1622]

@berezin99 I remember it as "Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesme seed bun" 

[marianawagner]

The hamburger patties are not that big...

[NYKID10014]

I want my BIG MAC in styrofoam, please...

[70sman4ever]

@NYKID10014 I want my Big Mac in the red box container! Dig it?!

[Smartboy8877]

@70sman4ever

I remember those red cardboard containers! At that time, Quarter Pounders came in white boxes and Quarter Pounders with Cheese came in yellow. Oh the memories!

[isitu75]

it's an american thing that the asians woreship...thats why you cant order one without talking to one or watching them eat one...

[2muchreality4u]

I just watched a Big Mac commercial from 1975...

[xxHitmanxxORxx]

lol fatty americans

[Hyper1ink]

LOL! Big Macs never had half the height of the shown burger. It's a betrayal!!! o.o Police, won't you come?

[70sman4ever]

@Hyper1ink That is called smart advertising! Back then, people would be satisfied with the size of the Big Mac so they stayed slim. Today, the skepticism and forceful consumer behavior has led to obesity because many restaurants have complied to bigger portions and bigger sized food with steroids. Do you call that fair? Me, I continue eating small as if it is 1975 all over again! You dig? That is why I fit nicely into my tight bellbottom pants! Groove on!

[Hyper1ink]

@70sman4ever LOL! I'm slim and athletic, too. But that's not the point at all here. The point is that Big Macs never had half the height of the shown burger.That is called illegal (photographic evidence!) and stupid advertising. It's like showing 10"-crayons, each for 10c only, while in the shop every 10c-crayon is not longer than 5". I groove on.

[70sman4ever]

@Hyper1ink Hey all's fair in love and war, and advertising!  This is America pal! Dig?!

[Hyper1ink]

@70sman4ever Yeah, I'll dig America's grave. :p "War is fair"? Dream on, nightmare dreamer...

[doodydude234]

"I'm going back for a big crap"

[dogboy858]

wow the sasuse looks like crap!

[treehugerproductions]

the best thing about this commercial is that big macs dont even look like that anymore

[catgals2325]

lol! funnny
