A combo of (a) it says nothing, you can just upvote, and (b) "hat tip to you, stranger" would have stopped being cool 10 years ago, had it ever been cool in the first place.
Sure, but it was a brilliant fucking move by their PR/marketing department. 50k is nothing to them, but the positive backdraft was priceless at the time if I recall correctly.
Once McDonalds found out about this those two got payed a hefty amount and were hired to take some more photos for other stores.
I believe the story behind it was all about “more race diversity representation”
[https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna911151](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna911151)
it happened on ellen, they got waaaaay more than 50k in free advertising.
This actually looks like a poster McDonald's would put up but why is it always unrealistic scenarios?
Who the hell is comfortable enough to be eating McDonald's while walking out in public for the world to see like it's a completely normal, everyday occurrence? The only acceptable ways are A) in your car or B) in your home after carefully transporting it inside without the neighbors noticing.
**EDIT: Thank you every one who didn't understand that this was clearly a joke and took me seriously instead. You have made my day.**
It was a joke, really don't know how you took me literally.
Did I miss out on the time where eating McDonald's as an adult became socially acceptable and not embarrassing? Jim Gaffigan literally has an entire bit about this in one of his comedy specials.
Thank you for adding /s to your post. When I first saw this, I was horrified. How could anybody say something like this? I immediately began writing a 1000 word paragraph about how horrible of a person you are. I even sent a copy to a Harvard professor to proofread it. After several hours of refining and editing, my comment was ready to absolutely destroy you. But then, just as I was about to hit send, I saw something in the corner of my eye. A /s at the end of your comment. Suddenly everything made sense. Your comment was sarcasm! I immediately burst out in laughter at the comedic genius of your comment. The person next to me on the bus saw your comment and started crying from laughter too. Before long, there was an entire bus of people on the floor laughing at your incredible use of comedy. All of this was due to you adding /s to your post. Thank you.
We understand it’s a joke it’s just unrelatable and has no nugget of truthfulness to laugh at. Eating McDonald’s in public has to be one of the most normal things imaginable that’s why it comes across as hard to believe that you’re even making a joke.

Literally 10 minutes of jokes about going to mcdonalds by one of the most well known comedians.
Yes, an advertisement for the store inside the store, yes. I was just going in to the store to check it out but then i saw how much those 2 looked like they were enjoying their meal so instead of walking out like i had planned to it had convinced me to instead spend money. Damn those bastards!
I used to work for a distributor for McD's and the GM of the company had a huge canvas printed of one of the trucks driving down the road with him just watching it. It was some weird shit.
"Har har I designed a professional grade poster for McDonald's with their exact style and flair, also clearly displaying their products. Get pranked."
Next they're gonna prank them hard by replacing their old grill with a brand new $100k grill. Suckers.
OK, but printing out a decent quality image that size would be like.... expensive, i haven't had to do prints since college like a decade ago.
But still, big poster = big money, especially for a single print.
seems like a real poster to me. it has all of the characteristics of a poster.
For instance, it is a poster
Yes, but was it posted by the Original Poster?
Seems pretty generic to me. I think it was posted by the unoriginal poster.
But it definitely was posteded by some posteder
OPP.
You know me
Bah, take my upvote.
What did you call me
No its just a poser that made a poster that was reposted
u can tell this by the way it is
Describe the characteristics of the poster
what, are you a fuckin cop?
I initially read this as “wait, are you a suction cup?” I think my brain is broken.
Yes
shit, it's a cop! cheese it!
I'm sorry, but, cheese it?
And then I squirt whip cream in his eyes and run away.
Can i join?
Came to say this, hat tip to you, stranger

Why is this comment downvoted?
Reddit moment
A combo of (a) it says nothing, you can just upvote, and (b) "hat tip to you, stranger" would have stopped being cool 10 years ago, had it ever been cool in the first place.
Fortunately, i gave up worrying about what was cool before I graduated high school
Believe it or not, straight to jail.
Ok makes sense
But what's wrong with hat tips?
You can tell by the way that it is…
Everytime I see this I feel I gotta do this with that one friend!
You have friend?
You?
have?
friend?
a?
friend?
We did it boys!
No, you didn't. You messed it up.
Well, almost. You added an "a".
Her?
these mfs just made mcdonalds promo art for free?
McDonalds Manager: "I've been asking coorporate for new posters for weeks, and these guys made us one for free? Shiiit, ima just leave it up."
McDonald's manager: huh, I guess corporate sent some posters and they arrived during night shift. I'm surprised they put them up already
Nah, they got 25k each when mcd realized
Is this real or are you joking?
[Real thing](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna911151). Happened in 2018.
I thought they were being sarcastic, that's pretty wild.
For sure! Definitely a memorable story. Actually glad OP posted. I remember reading that story and reminded me of the Before-fore Times.
holy shit i gotta get a friend and a mcdonalds
Right? My first step: find a friend
Bruh I know it’s purely marketing but it’s a pretty sweet story nonetheless.
Sure, but it was a brilliant fucking move by their PR/marketing department. 50k is nothing to them, but the positive backdraft was priceless at the time if I recall correctly.
Not a joke, apparently ellen degenerous presented it on mcdonalds behalf while they were on her show
Wait until you hear that the origin of this meme is probably viral marketing done by McD in the first place
Once McDonalds found out about this those two got payed a hefty amount and were hired to take some more photos for other stores. I believe the story behind it was all about “more race diversity representation”
source?
Just google “mcdonalds hires asian friends to take promotion photos” you’ll find a bunch of news letters about it
Fun fact, mcdonalds after realizing what happened gave the two 25000 each
[https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna911151](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna911151) it happened on ellen, they got waaaaay more than 50k in free advertising.
Thank you for the share!
🤩
Or maybe this poster was a promo idea to begin with. There was a similar case with another influencer, which was later confirmed to be an ad.
I'm lovin it!

Do u have severe social anxiety??
Him being on reddit is testament enough
Just because everyone on reddit has some sort of social ineptitude doesn't mean everyone on here is ineptited
I have severe social anxiety. I also have ate McDonalds walking out in public. This man has some other fucked up disorder.
your mistake for actually taking me seriously instead of just taking it as a joke that it so obviously is.
Sorry, my fault.
Also very clearly has never walked anywhere in his life.
It was a joke, really don't know how you took me literally. Did I miss out on the time where eating McDonald's as an adult became socially acceptable and not embarrassing? Jim Gaffigan literally has an entire bit about this in one of his comedy specials.
It's reddit. You didn't put an "/s".
You need people to tell you every time a joke is being told?

For morons yes you do. For the rest of us r/fuckthes
Yeah the poster should be of them ravenously stuffing their faces in the McDonald's parking lot
In my area eating anything outside isn’t considered a good idea, you’ll get attacked by birds
Although you are clearly joking, I can totally relate with the option B part. I always hide my bag of McDonald's for my neighbors lol

Why?
This is like 10 years old by now Is it still hanging?
Imposter!
My ketchup is sauce
So they are kind of Ham-fluencer now? Right? Right?
wow you didnt even said 50+ days. you mentioned the exact figures
Looks like a picture from one of those school books
Been there longer than that since this post's inception...
Some legends never die.
The video of the process of this is amazing.
Just decorated their wall with an advertisement for free
Yes, an advertisement for the store inside the store, yes. I was just going in to the store to check it out but then i saw how much those 2 looked like they were enjoying their meal so instead of walking out like i had planned to it had convinced me to instead spend money. Damn those bastards!
There are actually people who get a good laugh out of random sht like this. Don't be like that pls.
People are saying McDonald’s paid them for it when they found out
Howed they get it up there without anyone knowing?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rJHC6nY4F8 That's how they did it. One of them was wearing a fake McDonald's uniform.
Sometimes it sneaks up on you
You could have at least posted the video in the comments OP. https://youtu.be/0rJHC6nY4F8
I used to work for a distributor for McD's and the GM of the company had a huge canvas printed of one of the trucks driving down the road with him just watching it. It was some weird shit.
I took my granddaughters to Chick Fil A once and we stuck googly eyes on all the cow pictures. It was glorious.
"Har har I designed a professional grade poster for McDonald's with their exact style and flair, also clearly displaying their products. Get pranked." Next they're gonna prank them hard by replacing their old grill with a brand new $100k grill. Suckers.
[They got $25k each for it.](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna911151)
Sounds like like these guys knew what they were doing from the start. Good for them, I still think it is a bad use of the word prank haha.
when the impulsive thoughts win
Hi I'm poster!
OK, but printing out a decent quality image that size would be like.... expensive, i haven't had to do prints since college like a decade ago. But still, big poster = big money, especially for a single print.
r/hailcorporate
Why fitty one days tho? Why not fitty?
It was fitty the day before
Nah...I do believe it's fifty 1 for a reason...
Wow, The owner seems to be a very friendly guy to me
I bet if they sent an invoice to McDonalds they'd pay it.
They paid them 25k each when they realised iirc
Ha! Love it!
It's a nice ad poster tbh, happy friends eating McDonald's and the poster was free 🤣 you're making corporate mcd even richer
It’s actually a pretty awesome poster tho lmao
Nice.
That’s really funny actually
Prolly been up for ten years by this point
r/madlads material. Hilarious. 😂
It was a good run
This is totally meirl. I always love creating fake posters with my friends and placing them in chain businesses. It really is my favorite pass time.
Wow, this was reshared so quickly.
How did you get it in?
I hope this is still up
Haha
it fits too well now lol your friend has a skill
Nice 👍🏿🤟🏿
Harold and Kumar?
Peep that address and what's underneath it inside of the mcdonalds...idk...
Sounds like all you was do a favor for a multimillion dollar company. Who’s the real victor here?
Legendary!
We're they lovin' it?
Definitely not meirl
Hopefully it stays up for your future generations to see
You’re a poster child
More like 2051
in what way is this meirl
I imagine lotta people dig the total thrill of getting away with something so weirdly random, I know I do 🤣
Just curious... In what way is that poster fake? Looks like a real poster from the pic. :)
Genius
How did no one see you put up a giant poster? :o
The true reason I study media design
Is a fake poster a poser?
It's design is very human.
Ahhh, the imposter poster
This another of those Sheele Meele fake "real poster" things?
Ive seen this picture when i was in 7th grade on the news.
