Last week, I blogged about this cute McDonald’s ad from France with the gay teenager and his clueless Dad.
Then a couple of days later, John Wright blogged about Bill O’Reilly’s comments on the ad, and since then the ad has become more talked about and discussed and praised and reviled. I was a bit surprised by all the hoopla (well, not by O’Reilly’s comments, since I have never expected to hear anything remotely resembling sensible from him), because I thought the commercial was cute but not all that groundbreaking. I mean, it certainly doesn’t reach the level of the Sir Vaughn’s Sunglasses ad Arnold Jones blogged about!
Anyway, today I found this video on YouTube parodying the French commercial. So I thought I would share:
I am trying not to bust out laughing in an office full of people who are just working quietly away!
Comment dit-on “lol” en francais?
STUPID!!!!!!
Do you think they could fit a few more stereotypes in this, it really does not have enough.
The word for the summer season is “Okrrr”.
This video was shot at the Wyly Theatre. The actors are Paul Taylor and Andrew Keenan-Bolger, who are both featured in Dallas Theater Center’s production of IT’S A BIRD…IT’S A PLANE…IT’S SUPERMAN (June 18-July 25).
