The much-anticipated McDonald's commercial was a bit of a letdown. It doesn't come anywhere near the Larry Bird-Michael Jordan commercial. That was an all-time great. This one has a lot of flashy dunks and is good, but in my opinion, it just doesn't measure up to the old one.

Some people were also put off at the slight of Bird in this one. LeBron James and Dwight Howard wonder who Bird is at the end. It's all in jest, of course. They both know the "Hick from French Lick."

Since we're on the topic of commercials, word has it Zydrunas Ilgauskas is in LeBron's new puppet ad. It has not been released yet.

Not much of an actual thread browser, are ya? The Dwight/Bron commercial was already posted twice within this thread (standard and wide-screen, I believe) and the Z Nike commercial was already posted here: http://www.realcavsfans.com/showthread.php?t=28488

I thought this new one was a lot funnier... especially the ending. It's not like the shots in the Jordan/Bird commercial were real anyways.

im sorry that was awful

LeBron: 'Aight, shake on it.'
Dwight: 'Haaahh! gotcha back'

^Definitely the best part lol. Not as good as the original of course, but was still pretty good... I'm guessing Kobe prolly would've been in it if McD's didn't disown him for the alleged rape thing...
