10 Commercials That Changed Pop Culture Forever

8. McDonald's - "Two All-Beef Patties, Special Sauce..."

I don't think that there can be any denying that McDonald's is the weirdest fast-food restaurant in existence, primarily because it rips off every other successful food chain, thus making it seem like you're eating in fifty restaurants at once. There can be also be no denying, however, that their food is addicting; that's why we keep eating there, even though we know that their food is one of the worst things we can put into our bodies. Another thing that sets McDonald's apart from their competition is their refusal to let certain aspects of their company die. While some said aspects need to go away, like the McRib, there are others that we welcome every time they return, like the Shamrock Shake or the ad campaign shown in this commercial, promoting McDonald's crowning achievement, the Big Mac. In the ad, we see a bunch of people trying to recite the famous Big Mac jingle (which I won't be writing here in the interest of brevity) and failing, followed by a musical rendition of somebody singing the jingle perfectly. The singer's accompanied by a stop-motion clip of a Big Mac being assembled. After a few more botched attempts, the commercial ends with two hands opening a Big Mac box and folding down the sides, revealing the burger itself and thus completing a classic McDonald's meal of burger, fries, and Coke. The Big Mac song is one of the greatest jingles in history, ingraining itself into our brains in a way that few other slogans do. It's repetition ceases to become annoying, after a while, and becomes a challenge to learn the song perfectly, which, surprisingly, is pretty difficult. However, that just makes mastering the tune even more of a badge of honor.
