The 13 Most Bizarre Foreign McDonald's Commercials By IHateEverything  [37 more lists]

All foreign McDonald's (yes, even the ones in Canada) have far more interesting items than the (literal) meat 'n' potatoes menu items we have here in the US.

In India there is no beef on the menu because, unlike here, they don’t eat their sacred beings in disk form; in Japan they offer a wide variety of seafood products because they love to perpetuate stereotypes, and as this ad demonstrates, Israel offers a pita McShwarma for their regional consumption.

But even weirder is the use of the Pulp Fiction theme in this commercial, and how impressively seamless the integration is. In fact, when the camera zooms in to the food being unwrapped, you can't even tell that that wasn't the stomach region of our beloved right-before-the-post-Battlefield-Earth-barrel-chest John Travolta.

Another interesting thing to note: They're speaking English. For a lot of these Asian, non-English-speaking European countries, they all say the McDonald's slogan in English.

If fast food companies did this in the U.S. (made their audience "read"), we'd be a much, much skinnier country.

"Keep your eyes on your fries" is pretty funny, especially when you remember that Australia was originally a colony of thieves, rapists and criminals.It’s actually a little heart-warming that they’re keeping tradition alive and well.

But I'm not sure if the whole idea of ""good enough to steal"" works for McDonalds fries. Especially not when you have to go to all the trouble of constructing a fake casted arm, buying more polyester and growing your hair out to look like your alcoholic uncle who was cool in the 80s.

If your fries aren't safe, what Australia is basically saying here is that nobody and nowhere is safe and that everyone should stay the hell out. Screw fanny packs for your money when you visit there, you're going to need an Iron Man style suit of armor.

You can’t have a list of weird stuff without Germans making a contribution, it's just against the rules.

So here is their submission for the moment: This commercial features quite possibly either the dumbest or the ballsiest guy in commercial history. Not only does the guy come out of the closet (literally), thus admitting to the father of the girl he's banging that he’s violating his daughter, but he asks her dad to go get him a post-sex snack.

At leas the gives him money for it, I guess, but dear Lord must things be different in Germany where the girl is cracking a smile at ALL in this situation instead of being mortified. The aftermath probably goes something like this: daughter grounded forever, has a curfew of 5pm and wears a chastity belt, father is furious and burns down the McDonald's he went to and the guy is currently hung on some guy's wall after a forced game of ankle-bracelet human-game hunting.

This is pretty impressive given that most of us were all "sir" and "please" and "thank you" and "I swear to god I slept on the couch" with our high school girlfriends. Dad would have a shotgun if this were a U.S. commercial... and God forbid they ever play it in front of MTV's 16 & Pregnant -- the commercial would be banned faster "freedom" probably was for the girl in this commercial.

Other than clown fetishists and perhaps that one time in college, no one has ever thought of Ronald McDonald as a sexual object... until now. Yes, leave it to the Japanese to take a beloved childhood character of joy, grease and free toys and turn him into something dirty, female and ridiculously hot. It's like that movie Splice only we're more emotionally attached to this.

The outfit at 0:17 is the decided favorite. It's what Hot Clown Girl enthusiasts like to call the Big N' Tasty.

But thanks, Japan, for not only almost providing us with a Rule 34 for McDonald's characters, but getting it into the dirty, filthy minds of everyone involved that the people in the McDonald's kingdom all like to bang one another.

What does the Hamburglar do?... OH GOD, what does the Hamburglar do?!

Buses in Los Angeles may be horribly inefficient, but it’s pretty rare that you have a fat guy sleeping on you (although it really does happen.) In Korea it's apparently quite common. Common enough for dudes to not only get pretty snuggly, but to feel they have the right to steal said fat guy's food. The difference? Fat guys in America are dudes that you can steal from and then easily run away from, while fat guys in Japan are sumo warriors who will hold you up with one arm by the neck as your run in place.

This ballsy daredevil steals from fat guy, puts the fry in his mouth and then fat guy is woken up. Fat guy is (understandably) pissed.

It's kind of weird because in America you rarely see a heavy person (rarely = never) in a fast food commercial, yet here, they are the person who ate at their restaurant (a move you'd get fired for in the States.)

It also seems that McDonald's is advocating that hatever happens, defend your French fries -- at all costs, even death.

But in the end, if you take the bus, it's smartest to take it from the EXACT copy in this McDonald's commercial:

"Don't be risky your life."

Apparently, nobody finishes more than two bites of a McDonald's meal in Taiwan.

What do they do instead? They kick around bags filled with entire meals like soccer balls, one good-looking guy catches it and then a large amount of children barrel down a street with it, destroying everything in their wake. The guy who originally bought the food, then makes sure that the food is gone forever, not having shamed the honor of Taiwan with its disgusting, American qualities.

All of this will happen, but NOBODY, I repeat, NOBODY will eat the food. They don't just avoid McDonald's in Taiwan, they buy it just to beat the s**t out of it happily, publicly and en masse.

It’s certainly good to know that violence and McDonalds go hand in hand, no matter what country you’re in.

Most of us don't speak Indian, but it seems like this guy with a disability (that he might, ostensibly, have gotten from eating so many McAloo Tikki Burgers) is staring at a girl. She comes over to slap him because of his face problem where he involuntarily blinks, and then apologizes when she sees his disability.

This is absurd.

He was staring at her anyway! And unless this is the first time he's ever gone into public with this disability, he KNOWS what he looks like when he stares at people. This guy knew exactly what he was doing and deserved the slap -- because he's a rat bitched.

Either way, this is pretty nuts that other countries have such great senses of humor over something we'd never do in the U.S. Slapping a handicapped guy in the face does not usually equal what one associates with one of the biggest American brands in the world.

In this video, a man discovers that he can conduct the schools of fish in an aquarium by moving a McDonald's french fry back and forth. Hilarity ensues when the man eats said French Fry, and the fish waiting in anticipation see the man pull out a Filet-o-fish.

They scatter like crazy, but they needn't worry - there's no real fish in those sandwiches anyway, so after the commercial everyone probably got together and had beers anyway. Even the blowfish.

Also, when's the last time you were allowed to take food into an aquarium?

Either way, this is something you'd never see in the U.S. because associating adorable sea creatures with death/food in the form of the sandwich they're trying to sell wouldn't exactly up their profit margins when most people are trying to sell toys around here.

Also: no unrealistic food close-ups in this commercial. SO UnAmerican...
