Is This New McDonald's Ad Tired? Or Whimsical?
Grown Man R&B lives! Oh wait, this isn't a new Avant video? It's a Black man singing about McNuggets? Ugh. It's the '80s all over again, only this time "Calvin" isn't visiting Burger King on his lunch break. Man, this is corny! At least he's not singing in Auto-Tune.

stoneyisland | December 1, 2008 11:45 AM | PermalinkAt what point did i indicate I had a problem with it? I called it corny and kept it moving. Its not that deep.
nOvaMaticSeriously, auto-tune mighta been a come up.
Kiss my black ads | November 30, 2008 11:52 PM | PermalinkMan, people (nOvaMatic ) still have Hate in their blood. wow! You can say what you want about the ad, but it is about opening up doors to a successful career. So what he is singing about Mcnuggets - Mcdonalds is a Global, Billion dollar corporation. You seem to be 1 of a handful who has a problem with it. All in all, the writers, creators and actors in the commercial may have more money and opportunity than you. Get over it!
Will - | November 30, 2008 10:56 PM | PermalinkPersonally, I think r&b music is culturally retarded; so, I found this ad to be hilarious. R&B should be mocked on a daily basis. It's a free country, and if someone want's to make fun of, and offend a group, genre, or whatever, they are free to do so.

Joe | November 30, 2008 9:01 PM | PermalinkYou have the find the positive in the the negative......The negative is the obvious stereotype............The positive? this brother has a job and wont be breaking in my home or car:) LMAO As the songs goes " you have to accentuate the positive Eliminate the negative Latch on to the affirmative Don't mess with Mister In-Between ...
stoneyisland | November 29, 2008 6:11 AM | PermalinkFunny as hell, looks like a music video at first.
d | November 28, 2008 2:59 PM | PermalinkNow THAT was funny! In that "oh my goodness this is so corny that I can't help but laugh" sort of way!
coco | November 28, 2008 11:21 AM | PermalinkIt made me chuckle... Just reminded me of the many times I heard a song on the radio and wondered who this was singing and as I paid more attention realized it was actually just a commercial. Its humor, I dont think it was trying to make any profound statements.
nybruh | November 27, 2008 9:03 AM | PermalinkCall me goofy because when I initially saw this commercial, I CTFU and then called somebody else and told them to look out for it. I really dont think they are trying to be offensive or to make people think about the lack of creativity in R&B. I think they were just trying to be funny...period.
suga | November 27, 2008 12:27 AM | PermalinkJust my opinion though.
It's just a joke people!
WTF | November 26, 2008 8:33 PM | Permalinki am offended...
Kamaren97 | November 26, 2008 6:03 PM | PermalinkI actually laughed my butt off at this commercial. I thought it gave a great depiction of how corny and uninspiring music videos are and especially how terrible commercial R&B has become.
Abby | November 26, 2008 2:18 PM | PermalinkThis commercial is horrible. It doesn't make me want McNuggets, it makes me want to never listen to mainstream radio again.
IMROYALTI | November 26, 2008 2:15 PM | PermalinkI must say that at least this commercial isn't as bad as the McDonald's "hittin' that" commercial, where they completely misused the slang term by associating it with food.
i saw this today, and thought much of the same. this is about a half-step better than MC Hammer rapping and dancing for popcorn chicken. what's so funny is from afar, i thought it was Ne-Yo. they could've at least brought a real singer.
dar | November 26, 2008 1:32 PM | PermalinkSee i don't know nOva...I think they're actually making fun of the music that's out there (and damn if I didn't think this was an Avant or Joe video for the first 15 secs). So then, I don't know whether I should laugh with them or be offended. Everytime I see the commenrical I get really confused....
