It’s the good time, great taste…
Although I’m not always the biggest fan of their food, its hard to deny that McDonalds has had some classic commercials over the years. Arguably the greatest series of commercials were the Larry Bird/Michael Jordan “Showdown” spots where both made impossible trick shots in order to win a tasty big mac.
During the Super Bowl, history will repeat itself, or at least get an update, with two new NBA superstars; Lebron James and Dwight Howard. The video is below.
The best thing about this commercial for McDonalds? It has a dual marketing power. Don’t believe me? How many of you are going back to find the Michael Jordan/Larry Bird commercial?
My only question? Why couldn’t McDonalds find someone other than Dwight Howard? He’s a great personality, but he’s really not known for his shooting…
