They replaced Big Mac with Most famous hamburger and Mcdonalds with Most famous hamburger restaurant.

It's not working lol, what a waste of money.

Bragging for no good reason. So what if it's famous? It doesn't make it good. Al Kaida is famous too, yet...

Good point. But I still have problem with the idea. What's the meaning of that small white circle in a red background?

What a self-confidence... I believe it works. Everybody knows what this ad is talking about.

But again... what an unfortunate choice of colors... It looks like cover of a Lenin's book : )

It's the colors that make it work. But you're right. It does look like a communist propaganda poster.

This ad brings a student brief in the Exhibition section to mind. This would be alright as a student assignment if you wanted no visuals or logos to be used. However, I would question if this was the one and only idea and the CW and AD simply decided to stick with it.

I automatically thought McDonald's when I seen the thumbnail and that goes to show how powerful their marketing image is. I think it works, but I feel as though it's missing something or something is just not right about it.

It works when it have something to back up it's self confidence.

I for one enjoyed the ad! had to read it.. but i think that's kuz my screen's colour is a little off! I had to create an account to defend this ad :)
not quite sure about the 4 euro thing either though! haha

an alternative tv spot for burger king:

a young man comes into burger king. He orders a whopper. He looks to the bill.
Then he shows this ad and says:
"hey, hey! I think there is a mistake. You say hamburger is only 4 euros?"

vidya.shankaran's picture 687 pencils

:) so happen-able...

silvi's picture 4174 pencils

I think this is brilliant. Only McDonalds can do it. They now it.
No logo, no photo. A big brand everybody recognize.

papajohn's picture 90 pencils

The Big Mac is 4 euro in Sweden (39.00 sek).

krautland's picture 3204 pencils

wow, seriously? it's less than 3 in germany.

papajohn's picture 90 pencils

Sometimes it´s 36 crowns, sometimes its 39 crowns.
Who care´s that has nothing to to with the ad, I guess.

Migzter13's picture 985 pencils

simple. it's just saying that the "world's most famous burger" is cheap as hell.

Stop Mediocrity. Start Creativity.
There are two kinds of people in the world; people who like mustangs (cool people) and people who like camaros (idiots).

+self confidence or over confidence ?

What I like in this ad is it's tiny bit of sarcasm: it actually made me recognize McDonald's without using any 'traditionally important' brand elements: logo and product.
It's a simple yet still amusing 3-sec puzzle to be solved. I think the white price sticker design is just following the 'nu skool' graphic design trends.
