The cashier- "Would you like fries with that cunt" The customer- " fucking oath"

I love how big the Big Macs look.

Wow McDonalds eh? That seems like an interesting restaurant, I should try them one day.

Best known Scottish restaurant in the world!

The burgers weren't tiny back then.

I would compare this to the 'Feed Your Inner Child' campaign from the mid 2000s. This used nostalgia to engage adults and get them to come back to McDonald's. My visits to Mcdonald's were rare. We usually visited during the school holidays. My mother took us to McDonald's for a treat. I did like the novelty of choosing my own meal since at home I had to eat whatever was cooked. I didn't like the food so much that I would pester my parents to take us there. Our family got fish and chips or a roast chicken if buying a fast food meal. McDonald's used to put out a coloring calendar each year. I did receive some as Christmas presents. The calendars came with coupons for different McDonald's items, or themed gifts like lenticular rulers with the Big Mac Jingle on it. My Dad took us to McDonald's begrudgingly. I think that he preferred Australian fast food chains like Red Rooster and Ollie's Trolley. I had an Aunt who was a home economist. She didn't think much of McDonald's. She was glad when I told her that I'd stopped eating there. I didn't like clowns as a child. Ronald McDonald had no appeal to me. When I began to learn about marketing and advertising, I worked out that the McDonaldland characters just there to encourage kids to ask their parents to take them to McDonald's. After seeing some episodes of HR Puff 'N' Stuff I realized that the McDonaldland characters were rip-offs of the characters from this show. McDonald's is branded as a 'hamburger restaurant.' Some might say that McDonald's is a restaurant in the same way that Murdoch's tabloids are newspapers.

0:27 '"At McDonald's, we serve you fucks"

0:30 This guy looks like a young John Hewson.

Also remember the chicken as well with chips or fries. :)

What's going on at 0:34?

Lol, I remember the old blue uniforms. They had brown ones too, I think, but I really miss the environmentally unfriendly polystyrene boxes the burgers came in. I'm sure the burgers tasted better then, too (same with Hungry Jacks!).Mmmmm...

groovy baby, lovin the old school styrafoam contaoners too, and is that joyce jacobs from a country practice at the start??

don't remember this one in Brisbane....must have been a NSW or Vic one?

Before they poisoned their food

At the beginning is Joyce Jacobs from “A Country Practice” (behind the pot-plant).

When food was real and had taste. Produce was not mass producelike today. Now we have live export and mass production in everything. Even bread and simples like milk were better.

This commercial, though seen here in a tape transfer, appears to have been originally shot on 16mm film. I wonder if the original film print still exists.

How come a lot of adults worked at mcdonald’s in those days but these days it’s always like 15 year olds and shit.

"What a great place to eat lunch". Well yeah, except for the copious amounts of cigarette smoke you would have had to endure at the time. I also find it interesting that the ad makes out you'll be served by older people rather than school / uni students. I wonder if it really was like this back then or if that's just in the ads?

Tradies without their fluoro PPE. Back then, the typical uniform for a tradie was the overall.

i didn't know they had McDonald's in the land down under

When the burgers USED to be bigger and better.👍🏻😊🍔 🍔 Now they're just disappointingly WAY too small.😬😬

No kids in the ad....interesting. :)

They called it a restaurant those days? :)

looks like joyce jacbpos from a country practice when this ads starts

theres old esmay from country practice lol

wehn McDonalds actually tasted OK and not a pile of expensive toxic shit.

I’m in Australia

Where else can you see such bushy moustaches?

What the f. That Big Mac looks different!!

haha, not these days.

.

Full of chemicals, if that what you're into. Mac minute death.

ehen a big mac was a big mac....i wouldn't touch it with a barge pole these days the quality has gone to shit

What a great place to get diabetes

I’d love to juxtapose this with a typical McDonalds in Australia today with its impersonal automated booths and disinterested non-Caucasian staff and clientele of gross bogans and gronks with their tattooed fat & out shape or ridiculously gym-bunny bodies and gross unwashed attire of hoodies and jogger pants or hi-visibility clothing.

Look at the ridiculous hairstyles & sideburns!

Okay Boomers....

People were not very attractive back in the day
