McDonalds Goes R&B On Us

This commercial cracks me up for the mere fact that it almost sounds like a half-assed album cut from a real R&B artist, as opposed to a commercial about McNuggets. I know one thing, I would have put her fine ass out in the rain if she came to my house and couldn’t at least share one nugget with me!
This commercial reminds me of the Cheatin’ skit on Little Brother’s The Minstrel Show album. Mainly because it’s also funny due to the fact that it sounds like a formulaic R&B song.

I heard this today on the radio, didn’t know there was a TV spot for it.
Toyota had a radio commercial for the Avalon that was better than the actual music on the radio a year or so ago.
Trippin’ is on BET right now…just FYI lol

I thought this was making fun of r kelly and his “trapped in the closet”.
I saw it first with my 55 y/o dad. He doesn’t know hip hop but he cracked up.
By Roosh on Nov 19, 2008
@ Roosh, it may as well be making fun of that song, because it sounds just like it, and about 55 other R&B ones!
@AJ, thanks for warning me NOT to change channels to BET
@ Midnite, I love the part on Cheatin’ where they say “Can’t think of nothin’ that rhymes with 15″ LOL
By ListenToLeon on Nov 19, 2008
I saw that last night too! Man I was like, We sanging for nuggets now? LOL He was SO SERIOUS! LMAO
By MissJay on Nov 19, 2008
This is just a crazy mess! LOL! She went to McDonald’s and couldn’t even bring that man some chicken nuggets?? And wouldn’t share hers? He should’ve booted her ass.
Why the hell black folks always coonin’ for McDonald’s though? For real. All this hypertension, diabetes and obesity we collectively have and we stay puttin’ on for the Nutritional Anti-Christ. Why can’t we sing some spirituals for fresh fruits and vegetables??

How come commercials geared toward the black consumer have more soul or rhythm? We don’t get the standard commercials…did advertisers conduct a study and found that blacks respond better to songs and shit? Look at commercials for Tide, Ford, Dawn,…
By Wonderlove on Nov 19, 2008
I LMAO the first time I saw this commercial. It was funny JUST because McDonalds is trying wayyy too hard
**and that brotha looked serious about them nuggets didn’t he lol***
By Blackgirlthinking on Nov 19, 2008
the coonery must end
By um on Nov 20, 2008
we seriously thought this was a music video until he said the word “nuggets”..we were about to go out and buy his album…lol
By Ez & Tay on Nov 20, 2008
I saw this hot mess last night and nearly died…. pure ignorance…
By SOUTHERN_BELLA on Nov 20, 2008
I READ THIS YESTERDAY AND THEN SAW IT LAST NIGHT AS SOON AS I TURNED ON MY TV. ALL I COULD DO WAS SHAKE MY HEAD, LOL.
By Ms. Butta on Nov 20, 2008
Okay this was funny, but ain’t nothing juicy about a pet-tra-fied chicken nugget from Micky D’s.
@Wonderlove Remember when every black show in the 90’s had the cast dancing at the beginning of the show.

Wow…

Say what you wanna…the tune is HOT and Catchy…now its time for a salad!
By Zekecee on Nov 20, 2008
Who sings the song?
By P.Guellar on Nov 22, 2008
Dude, This is my Fav. commercial in the World right now…Just pure Wit…The fact that he’s actuallly throughout the whole thing is AMAZING to me. I’ve been looking for this online for like 3 days…THANKS!!!
By J'Wil on Nov 22, 2008
This is the funniest commercial/video ever!. I LMAO hysterically every time I see it! Corny but funny.
By kk on Nov 23, 2008
Mcdonalds know damn well a sista is not going OUT in the rain to get no chicken nuggets.
By kiesha on Nov 23, 2008
I absolutely HATE that commercial… Why do McDonald’s commercials have to be SO coon-tastic?
By J-Biggs on Nov 23, 2008
Anyone know who the actors on this commercial are?
By J Anthony on Nov 23, 2008
Are they real R&B artists (that anyone knows of) ?
By J Anthony on Nov 23, 2008
The young lady name is Daphnie. Don’t know the dude’s name.
By LewDawg on Nov 23, 2008
Thnxs LewDawg…
By J Anthony on Nov 23, 2008
@ LewDawg, Daphnie is beautiful. Dude in the commercial is a good singer, too. Wish he wasn’t singing for chicken…but still. If you don’t go searching for deeper meanings in a McNuggets commercial and sh*t, it’s entertaining…lol
@ Keisha, good point!
@ JBigg and the rest of the folks who see the coonery in this, I understand…but this one is clever at the same time, so I’m not mad about it.
@ J’Will, glad you found it here. Thanks for the comment!
@ PBG, Great point! I think I should make a healthy eating R&B video over here LOL
By ListenToLeon on Nov 23, 2008
We had a bunch of people over yesterday to watch football. When this ad come on, everyone was laughing like crazy. Good thing we have DVR so we could rewind it and laugh at it again. I’m not sure if this commercial is really suppose to be taken seriously or not but we all got a good laugh out of it none the less!
By Kasey on Nov 23, 2008
where do u know daphnie from? Is she in movies or music? Her face is so familiar.
By jenn on Nov 24, 2008
J Anthony, I know a friend out in LA who is gonna find out who the dude is. The young lady is a good actress out there. The commercial is just fun. At lot of our folks are trippin’ on it. It’s just a way of not sharing your food and someone beggin’ for some. How many times have we all done that. But this is just in a fun contemporary way to show it.
By LewDawg on Nov 24, 2008
@ LewDawg, I agree. It’s clever and funny. If you find out who the singer is, definitely let us know over here! Thanks.
Oh yeah, tell Daphnie I said hello! LOL
By ListenToLeon on Nov 24, 2008
I was trying to tell my mother a movie she was in. I really like her. Do you know the name of any of her movies? Also, tell her the commercial is really nice and good job of telling the begging singer no and enjoying her food. (ha ha).
By jenn on Nov 25, 2008
I was looking for this video since I saw it on Saturday… it is hilarious - although most of my friends think I am so silly for enjoying it so much!
By Mojo on Nov 25, 2008
The dude in the spot is an actor by the name of Don Lee.
By LewDawg on Nov 25, 2008

By Dwayne on Nov 28, 2008
I heard it is an original joint.
By LewDawg on Nov 28, 2008

By Lee John on Dec 1, 2008

By SMH (shakn my head) on Dec 3, 2008
@ Warrior, that was some funny shit! I may just re-join Blackplanet, JUST so I can comment on this dude’s articles.
By ListenToLeon on Dec 3, 2008
I think its trying to uplift the men in the African American community to buy their own Mcdonalds and stop mouching of their Girl.
By Richard Uhards on Dec 7, 2008
I wouldn’t have kicked her ass out either I’d told her “once you finished your ten piece I gots two more, you cant eat’m but you cant taste on em’”
By Richard Uhards on Dec 7, 2008
Who cares if the commercial is stupid! The guy is HOT! I would certainly share my McNuggets with him…….any time….any place!
By White Girl on Dec 12, 2008
Don lee .. I knew it was him ! He was in a group called N2U from TUG .. Chris Stokes managed them
By Bch on Dec 22, 2008
who is the girl
By flawless.epitome on Dec 24, 2008
I first saw the commercial watching “The Game.” I thought it was a real video. I thought I changed the channel by accident and then I heard the mcnuggets…… NUFF SAID
McDonalds win’s hands down. I think they are competing with Pepsi with the hip hop commercials.
I almost fell out laughing the first time I saw it. It just started playing more regularly this week. SMH
By Lei on Dec 24, 2008
All I could think about when I saw the commercial is who is that singer– he is good.
By Abby on Dec 28, 2008
isnt that the guy from that couples sitcom from back in the day for your love? i think his name is edalfe blackmon. something to that effect yes?
By Gigi on Dec 30, 2008
so i don’t get it, is there an actual song thats like the commercial??? man if not they should come up with some lyrics to make a song =]
