Im not arab, but my parents literraly slapped the back of my head every time I reached for the food whenever my grandparents were over and hadn't eaten yet, i guess its a thing in all of asia

This is advertising where the agency actually did some research and then implemented that into the creative. It connects with many who follow such traditions, let alone connects with the audience the advert is targeted at.

Simple cost effective ad that has long-term consumer value.

Ah it's a shame we don't have this in the West it looks delicious.

Give an award to this ad director, he pulled the emotion of viewers ❤️

People don't believe McDonalds can look this good, but it depends on the staff too. I used to work in a McDonalds and when it was not too busy, I made the items picture perfect. But when it's rush hour, good luck 😅

We do this in Japan but in a different way. In most ways the eldest has always the priority when served food, he or she will always get the food first, the elder will always receive the best in quality of whatever it is if it’s seating, especially in a train, a person is expected to give their seat to a elderly if he or she is standing. Very similar culture to Arabia

Even though I’m not Arabian. Massive respect to the wise, older people out there. They have a lot of knowledge and should always be respected.

This is such a cute ad! I love when advertisements also include cultures like this.

[zjones]

I'm not Muslim but this commercial is funny, effective, but not disrespectful. It captures the frustration of a young person who has to wait for an older person to do something and it takes them longer to do it.

I love how the kid is like


“Eat the food already it’s totally not poisoned!”

[CrystalLaser]

Uh. I want a McArabia. That looks good as hell.

[moosesnWoop]

It would be so cool to have "Global McD's" in all locations of the world - that way you can have a sandwhich from wherever and exprience something new other than your local "favourites"

[isradisrad]

A beautiful tradition which deserves respect. May Allah bless our elders 🙂

[IconicSlaygirl]

Arabians show respect to the elder ones, I like the Arabians, and they also look so thankful

[Iratechromosome]

Not an Arab, but I think this is so cool. I love to see tradition still live on.

[DrDOOM-xsjm]

Idk why the algorithm suddenly decided to recommend a years old McDonalds ad, but now i am envious of Arabia for some reason

[eugenelee]

Always like that at my table. In Korean tradition, we always must wait for the elder to eat first then we can eat.

[ThePainOfSilenc]

That looks pretty damn good, especially for McDonald’s

[handwashingonion-UAE]

Goddd I get memories. When I went to Umrah from UAE to Saudi Arabia on bus, when it had passed the border we stopped at a food place and there was mcdonalds, my dad bought us this and it was amazing! Since then Ive always ordered this once we came back. Delicious asf

Don't know why YouTube is recommending this to me 7 years later but I liked the ad
