Plot twist: this is the last time they thoroughly cleaned everything
Not after the coronavirus
@@clydecromey6933 What's that?
McD's is a third world country now.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Best McDonald's commercial EVER! Period!
You are SO correct! I love this commercial!
I remember the first time I saw this commercial on TV 40 years ago. It would be a tragic shame to dislike this commercial. This is STILL a great classic commercial.
And it being a singing commercial something you don't see anymore on today's networks!
@@daniellaubsch1605 True
Totally agree with you!
I remember this like it was yesterday! I’m 61 going on 62 in December!
THERE IS NOTHIN' SO CLEEEEEAAAAAAAAAN AS MY BURGER MACHIIIIIIIIIINE
The manager's tenor is out of this world!
I was a kid in the early 70's when this commercial first appeared. My dad was watching with me, then said, "I went to school with that guy! We used to sing together!" He was talking about the manager in the commercial. I didn't catch his name, and my dad passed many years ago before this appeared on RUclips.
@ tuttt99. The actor with the nice tenor singing voice in this classic McDonald's TV commercial from the 1970's is the actor who played Mr. Feltzer on the Jack Klugman/Tony Randall "The Odd Couple" TV show during the 1970's. I can't remember the name of the actor , but his TV character Mr. Feltzer was a member of Felix Unger's "Lexington Avenue Opera Club" on that comedy show.
I wonder if the actor who played "Mr. Feltzer" on "The Odd Couple" TV comedy show got his job on that show after the show's producer Garry Marshall saw him appearing in this commercial for McDonald's?
@@michaelbarlow6610 The actor's name is John Wheeler.
@ epaddon. Thanks for the information regarding the actor who appeared as "Mr. Feltzer" in "The Odd Couple" TV series and in the classic McDonald's commercial. I had been wondering for years what his name is or was but couldn't find out. I wonder if he started his career as a professional opera singer and later branched out into an acting career. I have never seen him in anything other than "The Odd Couple" TV series and that McDonald's commercial. Do you know if he appeared in any other TV shows or any movies? How old is he now?
20 years later he opened up his own McDowells. Boy time flies.
They got the Big Mac; we got the Big Mick
We both have two beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions. But, their buns have sesame seeds. *knocks over
Maurice and spills the drink* My buns have no seeds.
The best McDonald’s commercial of all time.
I would give anything to walk into a McDonald's and see a staff like this!
Beleive it or not people use to enjoy working there
Right? Lol. Lie #1 by McDonald's. We only hire responsible middle age men to run our restaurants.
I love John Amos, he has always had a personality that came through the screen.
Me Too
The Colonel from Boogie Nights. From pride in the cleanliness of his burger machine to......well you know.
in the 70s everybody would sing and not talk....I miss those days
I’m 20 years old and I’m super glad they got rid of the singing stichk. It’s horrible my ears can only take so much pain.
I'm 20 years old and I wholeheartedly agree with you, toonsis. To hear the energetic enthusiasm and tenor of these guys' voices is amazing and my ears crave more.
During my 2 months at McDonalds we started every morning just like this one. Unreal!
poeboy2 Haha Haha Haha Haha!
That clean image was a huge deal back then. I was a very little kid, and I remember eating at the one and only McDonald's in downtown Tacoma at the time, and the guys were always out with the mops and buckets mopping the dining area as we ate. I also remember they had salt and pepper shakers, creamers, and real spoons on the tables. No packets, no plastic.
I have always loved this commercial. It was right around the time I started my 10 year stint at the Golden Arches, in 1974.
This is the commercial that actually succeeded in making you want to eat and work there.
No matter what, give Fast Food Restaurants their props, they are like Boot Camp. The Children have to work The Graveyard shift, no weekend fun, Between 12:00 and 2:00 The Lunch Crowd go Cray Cray for their Food. When you put in your Application to work at an Office and they see you've worked at McDonald's or any other Fast Food Restaurant they are impressed.
There was a part of the chorus I thought I remembered: “And our ice cream machine is never Out of Order…”
I can't watch this just ONCE. Any time I watch it, I end up watching it about 20 times.
Actors

When I first started working for McDonald's, I saw this commercial included on the training video.
Chloe Kopsho I remember that. They acted like it wasn't a nostalgic throwback on release and asked us how things have changed since then. Even I could tell it was 70s retro 50s nostalgia
we had to sing the song.....but it was fun
THE MANAGER @ 0:26 HAS THE BEST MOVES!
Love the manager's wink and nod at 0:44.
Don't you just love it that in this classic McDonald's TV musical commercial from the 1970's that after the one guy sings, "At McDonald's it's clean!" the whole group of singing men jump on top of the serving counter contaminating the countertop with their shoes! Lol!
We should go back to making commercials like this again 🤣 oh its so good, I laugh every time
McDonalds food actually tasted better back then, and their stores were cleaner too.
I love that commercial, I remember this commercial in the 70s . It was great. It was not corny, like the commcals today.
I had a little crush on Anson Williams when he was on Happy Days.
That one guy was on MASH.
This ad was played again in 1989 to commemorate McDonald's 35th anniversary. Now, this is their 65th.
A classic commercial
This commercial sticks in your head. The jingle is memorable. THAT is how you judge a commercial. What commercials of the last 20 years are memorable? What are the great jingles of the last 20 years? I answer both questions "none".
Brilliant spot!
Go to a McDonald's today. No smiles, place is filthy, no manager to be found, your order will be wrong 70% of the time ............ and so on.
Funny, when McDonalds first came out, they showed older men working there like this ad. In fact, early 60's McDonald file pictures (not ad photos) of workers showed men in their 40's to 50's who made the food. Then later years, it was all teenagers that would be shown working there. Most of the ads in the 70's showed happy teenagers enjoying their jobs making McDonalds food. Now most McDonalds have older workers working in them, with a lot of new immigrants as well. I remember working in fast food in the 70's and they did not treat you very well. In the 80's McDonalds had to run ads showing how great it was to work there or have worked there because no one wanted to work there and be treated poorly. Later, McDonalds would change their tune and started treating people better, many articles in the news about that.
0:07 Where Cardi B got her inspiration
0:41 this is my favorite part
McDonalds were clean back then and people enjoyed working there.
0:26 i like the talking
I could be wrong but I swear I also see Johnny Haymer who played Sergeant Zale on MASH.
Yes..That was who was on his knees
every one was to slap happy back then
John Amos in this commercial
This is how I wanted Mad Men to end.
Don Draper was in dire need of a break in 1971, plus he cleaned himself up, This was the ad he really wanted to pitch.
Don settled for the Coke commercial instead
Look! 0:19 Mr mcdowell from Coming to America! Before he left Mcdonalds to start his own restsaunt Mcdowells.
John Amos, Johnny Haymer ("put a shine on the floor"), Robert Ridgely ("...my burger machine"), and John Wheeler (the Manager)...and yes, Anson Williams. I recognize a couple of other faces but don't know them by name.
Robert Ridgely at 0:13 also. The Colonel from "Boogie Nights".
Barry Manilow wrote the jingle
Ridgley was in Blazing Saddles, Robin Hood Men in Tights (As the executioner), The flasher in High Anxiety. Voiced Flash Gordon and Tarzan from Filmation.
McDonalds' version of "When You Wish Upon A Star"
yup....the jingle guys swiped the tune
When did commercials stop being awesome?
After the 1980's .
After all these years, l just noticed that this advertisement is more about cleanliness and hygiene than anything else. I'm a vegetarian, who used to work at McDonalds 34 years ago. And my supervisors often marvelled at how clean l would get the restaurant after closing time.
Potsie Webber and James Evans working at McDonalds.
now its mexicans
I knew that was Anson!😂
Some of the other actors were well seen character actors from the 70's. The actor who played the store manager was on the Odd Couple TV show. He was a member of Felix Under's opera group. As a matter of fact you could notice his opera trained voice in this commercial.
Wow!
Johnny Haymer, who had a recurring role as Sgt. Zale on MASH for several seasons, is also in this commercial at :30
Oh yeah do I remember this MciD's tv ad! Something you just see anymore ahh the good ole days!
Mr.McDowell’s is in this commercial
Man..I remember this! I was in second grade :)
Love Anson Williams and John Amos
Why can't this happen in commercials now?
Maybe because they'll look at it and think it's fake and crappy. It is, but in a good way.
Different time period .
0:56 mcdonald mcdonald McDonald’s!!!!!!
That is John Amos!
yep, in the flesh
Everyone saying James Evans when that is CLEARLY Cleo McDowell and that's where he got his idea to create his own restaurant in Queens, New York. Long live the Big Mic.
0:10 he has nice sliding!
Also Johnny Haymer from MASH. Sgt. Zale
0:07 grab a bucket and mop
Also the guy from mash, the Colonel from boogie nights, John Amos.
I remember thinking that these guys are far too happy to be working at McDonald's
Barry Manilow wrote the "You Deserve a Break Today" jingle.
ain't we lucky we got them good times.....LOL Potsie and James Evans working at McDonalds together
Too bad they can't make something this good anymore.
An early appearance by John Amos.
Next year, the commercial will be turning 50 years old. Hope the actors who appeared in to reminisce.
If only I had that enthusiasm when I worked there for 8 years…
From McDonald’s to McDowell’s
Where do you think he got the idea for McDowell's from? :)
20 bucks for crummy food for 2 adults we all deserve a break today
I loved this makes me want a hamberger
I remember those mid 70's years when commercials were like mini musicals. This one and the Dr. Pepper one. (I'm a pepper, you're a pepper, he's a pepper, she's a pepper, wouldn't you like to be a pepper, too? Dr. Pepper, drink Dr. Pepper, Dr. Pepper, drink Dr. Pepper). Ad spots were a full minute!
WIth a young David Naughton, from American Werewolf in London....and Makin' It..among other things...
When working at McDonald's was a good career. 😉
All the guys in this commercial look like they are in their 30s -- this bespoke of a time when you could actually work as a fry-cook in your 30s and 40s and it could actually pay the rent.
You're kidding, right? These jobs were always entry level and never paid well. Maybe if you want to pay the rent you should get a better job than flipping burgers?
this commercial was made around 1971 and the average rent was like 140.00 a month back then. average cost of a new house was 23,450.
Lmaoo
@@realazduffman things where cheaper back then.
@@lesliemiros6743 And wages are higher now.
AMEN!!
Back when McDonald's was good
Exactly
Awesome!
Do you have to sing and dance like that if you work there?
Anson Williams potsie.
Funny they all walked on the service counter behind the front counter
Jeez, a Broadway production to promote a 79 cent hamburger. 😂😂
Back when the restaurants were clean…the fries fresh and hot…and the burgers had real flavor. Today McDonalds is but a styrofoam clam-shell of its former self.
Obviously filmed before the invention of their frappe machine.....
That came 30 years later.
@jessieneongirl13 "mcdonalds the musical" that is EXACTLY what i was thinking when i saw this XD
They paying the older men in this commercial the minimum wage I assume? What was the minimum wage in 1972? Probably around $1 an hour?
When I started at McDonald's in 1974, I was making $1.75 an hour. And as my first job, it seemed like a lot of money back then!
Also NB John Haymer (ie, Sgt. Zelmo Zale from M*A*S*H!)
It may be clean, but BK tastes better. And who knows? BK may be just as clean.
They sing show tunes at McDonald’s?
Didn't I see the great John Amos in this?
Yeah, right... Walk into one now... Only things kept clean are the order kiosks...
I'm trying to find the ONE that I remember, a guy walks up to the counter and asks, "What have you got?" and the clerk says "What have we got???" and then all these guys start singing "We got world famous fries (RIGHT!) We got hot apple pie (RIGHT!) We got good things to eat (2,3,4) ...
Hair flies at Mac"s.
A McDonald's staffed entirely by native English speakers? Talk about false advertising.
And they are happy too! Unlike the slugs that work there nowadays.
I know which one is John Amos (James from Good Times), but which one of the men is Anson Williams (Potsie from Happy Days)?
I think I saw Sgt. Zale from M*A*S*H as well...
doesnt seem that clean how thet all got up and stood on the counter
I think they all jumped over it without touching it.
They did all jump over it. People can't believe their own eyes.
They jumped over the counter. And I’m sure when this commercial was being put together there was talk in the boardroom of making sure they didn’t step on the actual counter which is dirty.
Peter Brandt #TheUnknownMarketWizards
That's where John Amos went back to after he got fired from Good Times. ahahahahahahhahaha
Even then his character doing odd jobs like in Good Times and really he resigned from that show.
@@sauluribe7082 No he got fired.
Saul Uribe got fired
Didn’t McDonald’s reair this for an anniversary
We stopped for a coffee last night at the Hope, Canada Mcdonald's. It was absolutely filthy. Drink Machines spilling over and left.. Cups and crumbs and old fries and bits of food all over the floor. The restrooms were worse! I wish I had of had my camera with me. I told my English husband about this ad campaign.When cleanliness was important. I wouldn't have eaten ANYthing there.. It looked so unsanitary. Shame on you Hope Mcdonalds!!!!
Brian Hall try in n out burger, it's actually alot like this commercial!
adults mopping the floor an... wth is going on
Different era
