"The chicken nuggets are just ground up bones" "Well then wait til your hear what soup's made of" is killing me
"If McDonalds wasn't a chain, and instead had one location in France, it would deserve two Michelin stars" is for sure one of the 5 takes you can have before you lose all credibility
And he meant 2 stars for nuggets alone, because burgers aren't "good food"
Hes right though.
This is actually such an American problem. My American girlfriend came to Europe and said our McDonalds 'way fucking better' than the ones in the US, lol.
@@ilusao1111 idk if it's different depending on where you are in Europe but when I had McDonalds in France once and it was definitely worse than in the US and my understanding was that that wasn't a super hot take.
@@Zambies145 well, my girlfriend confirmed it is pretty much way better here in Portugal
Fear not the man who eats Mcdonald's once every 5 weeks, but the man who eats a Big Mac a day for 50 years.
I counted 5 insane takes just in this video so he's a goner for sure
I read it as gooner for sure
@@kandiman0703 +2 we're so cooked
Who would not put ice cream so good on the golden record
gang gang
what does this mean
NL never takes a break from comedy. Mfer could be dying on popcorn in the theatre right next to him and he'd prob yell out AY SOMEONE USE THE OPPENHEIMLICH MANEUVER instead of trying to help
This thumbnail goes hard
Librarian has the best thumbnails on yt. Bro doesn't miss
A 3AM McChicken clears any 5 star Michelin restaurant
Who’s gonna tell him
I am so sorry

Macdees is always much better in your memory than when you're actually eating it.
+2
So true
And the difference is even greater between your memory and five minutes after having it.

Even Anthony Bourdain said McNuggies were his guilty pleasure
Yeah, but Anthony Bourdain was uncommonly real.
Anthony Bourdain ate almost anything and loved almost anything he ate, doesn't count.
@@dreambufferThat just means he genuinely appreciated food. Why is someone's opinion more valid just because they're more picky? I don't want food opinions from a hater.
McDonald's is so good that people have to gaslight themselves into not liking it in order to not die at 40 eating it for every meal. A true intellectual sees it as natural selection and comes to accept the inevitable consequences of living an honest life and admitting that McDonald's is truly magnificent.
I think they are purposely making healthy food taste bad or something
"...Is this anything?"
I just straight up don't like McDonald's my guy, I'm sorry
Mcdonalds is no good brother
Agree, everytime I go to McDonald's I think it's going to be mid, then I leave thinking it was great
“The voyager golden record” me, not realizing for like 2 minutes he’s not talking about the 2014 Jenny Lewis album
The chicken mcgriddle is godlike I have to control myself from not getting it everytime I get an iced coffee before 11
“I don’t think it could get to three because the McFlurry machine is broken way too much” is actually the funniest thing I’ve ever heard.
thank you librarian I had no fuckin idea what the hell he was talking about with isaac clarke there
He's so real for the Mcdonalds take
am i wrong to assume that mcdonald's quality is highly dependent on the country? cause i've eaten mcdonadl's in my country and abroad and the quality seemed very different
I think you're correct
When I was in the States, I was shocked by how bad the ingredient quality was at fast food places, not just Maccas. Hell, even just pieces of fruit were flavourless.
Here in NZ, the ingredients just taste better (To my NZ brain)
McDonalds is pretty notorious for having extremely local supply chains tho, so the product does change from place to place.
Yeah, I think this is why he was getting so much pushback from chat. Canadian McDonalds has actual ingredients instead of the sawdust or whatever they use in the US.
Location certainly plays a huge factor, but I don't think its all about the country. There's a mcdonalds in my small town in central California that tastes horrible, but the one in the next city a bit further up is god tier. Perhaps it can be dependent on the management/staff? Always a strong possibility.
Yeah you're in different zones and PvP zones always have worse food
I was legit at a one star Michelin restaurant and after getting to like the 3rd of 5 courses of tiny meals with exotic tastes i remember thinking completely genuinely
"Mcdonalds clears this, and it wouldn't have cost me like $100"
- guy who has never been to a Michelin restaurant
The guy in chat who said "chickens are just highly processed eggs" fucked me up dude he's right
This is an amazing advertisement for McDonald's.
I am gonna go get lunch from there now.
Another incredible thumbnail edit
mfs will call mcdonalds processed food but then drink shit called like “dihydrogen monoxide” make it make sense 😂
I only drink bleach to stay clean and healthy
That's so wrong. No one would drink "dihydrogen monoxide". monoxide is very bad for your lungs and even just breathing it will cause death!
6:55 "A chicken nugget is just the bread of the chicken world, man."
this man ICANT
“A chicken nugget is just the bread of the chicken world” is so profound
Not me JUST NOW realizing that the end screen's set in Etho's SMP world!
McDonald's represents the pinnacle of human achievement, mankind's dominion over nature and its challenges.
McDonald's deserves a Michelin star not based on the quality of its food, but more as a lifetime achievement award
Was just thinking this. To make McDonalds a single location, you rob the franchise of its greatest achievement. The Michelin star is a very specific grade with specific meanings. A star is not applicable here, but McDonalds deserves praise, no lessm
In the movie "Burnt" Bradley Cooper character who is a professional chef, does make a point, fast food chains are most of the times, consistent, you walk in and you know what flavour you are getting and you get that exact flavour. Consistency is a cook most precious skill.
But yes, Egg dude do be egging sometimes.
Insane thumbnail
I can't take my eyes off of his shining radiant forehead someone help me
McDonalds is the one we all like to shit on but always end up craving in the end.
I don't eat fast food but once a year or two I'll have just the regular hamburger for McDonald's as a treat, and that shit's good as hell
This homie better have a sponsorship deal for this shit
you're not gonna believe this
Voyager golden record needs Andre Iguodala highlight tape. Just so the martians know we mean business when they got the death beam
I killed a man... with THIS THUMB.
NL thinking the sausage egg mcmuffin is better than the mcgriddle counterpart is one of his five allowed wrong opinions
The other is thinking he can fight a bear and bite harder than a tiger
My hottest take is that they are both bad and make me feel ill
Nah he’s right the McGriddle is unemployed food
This take is one of your five allowed wrong opinions
Why would you pay extra to have your sausage egg mcmuffin on a soggy cake that tastes like pure hfcs instead of a muffin?
The thumbnails always a hit
+2 for his Steely Dan take
What a troll, lol. Dude knows how to create engagement, that's for sure.
the filet-o-fish is the best fish sandwich out of literally every restaurant in america and i will die on this hill
cool how the nug challenge didn't ruin nuggets for him :D
I genuinely agreed with every take in this video
Same. Which is quite rare for me, because NL has some insane sheltered existence takes. But this one was like, bam, bam, bam, preach, brother.
That's how he gets you. Don't believe a thing this man says.
5:36 6th take he’s done
Everything at McDonalds is fire except for the burger.
his take is valid, I could probably eat 10 big macs. I'm no joey chestnut, but I like my chances.
Hes breaking his rule, and for that reason +5
Two Michelin stars for salty fat bombs? Every restaurant in the world would get Michelin stars in that case
Countdown to Ecstasy is the superior Steely Dan album he's fuckin cooked
I think McDonalds is actually not that bad for you as long as you’re not an insane freak who eats like 5000 calories per meal. When I got to mcdonalds I get a mccrispy and a coffee.
Then you're not getting the McDonald's everyone's talking about! :D
no one goes to MacDonalds to have coffee you weirdo
6:10 chicken nugget is the bread of the chicken world.
at 1:38 , im Agni_Ignis in the comments
damn i knew you would help me get that
McDonald's scientifically engineered to taste and smell good
are they supposed to try to make it bad
Woah woah woah, why we out here on the Prometheus slander. Underrated movie on god.
this man
Amazing cuts as usual Librarian. Can someone tell me where the bathtub song is from?

@@TheLibraryofLetourneau Very much appreciated, just like all the editing you do.
I think when people say they hate Mcdonalds, they're referring to american Mcdonalds cuz other countries' Mcdonald's menus are so much better and tastes absolutely better
Holy shit he went full canadian and called me a hoser. I'm scared.
I think that the main issue with McDonalds is their vegetables
Northernlion is my favorite Consooomer
my goat
Dan also doesn’t think helium is physical
I’m tired of pretending McDonalds is not good.
my insane joker take is that burger king is reasonably good for the price
Hold up, the food poisoning take happened in 2013?!
🤝
There are so many places that are just better than mcdonalds in nearly every way that are chains, that they would also have to be Michelin star. Just on chicken, Culvers, Cane's and even Wendy's ez clear. I havent been to popeyes or chic fil a (not many where I live), but Id have to imagine they clear too. And that's not even getting to burgers.
he's out of line but he's right
6:33 is it just me or does he start doing a trump impression for a second
Eggscellent
Including Aja is a god tier take
burgers aren’t overrated, the issue is there are more bad burgers than good.
Preposterous
The hottest take in this entire video is that season 4 of Dexter is mid compared to season 2. Season 4 of Dexter was peak Dexter and it’s undeniable
I actually agree with everything he says here
The problem with chicken nugget fans is that they never acknowledge that its the dipping sauce that carries the meal/snack.
That's absolutely false. They carry equal weight and one wouldn't be the same without the other. They combine for a holy matrimony of explosive flavour.
Yeah, and the dough is what makes pizza, the patty is what makes a burger, the rub is what makes a rib. What's your point?
@@PixelCrabsthe problem with coffee enjoyers is that they never acknowledge how hard hot water carries that drink.
Spaghetti sucks ass, the sauce does all the work!
The guy who said "go to a burger restaurant" triggered me so hard
I was scared he was gonna say something else at 7:02
+2 on the Michelin star take. All the research and technology that goes into making McDonalds taste so consistently good is very comparable to the molecular gastronomy that Michelin star restaurants do
he’s right tho
Where I live, Burger King wins McDonald's 100/100 times. Just, not even up for debate. It's a unanimous consensus.
This is beyond a crazy talk. This should be quoted next to the dictionary definition of insanity.
having worked at a mcdonalds, -2
Maybe McDonalds is better in Canada. In the U.S., outside of breakfast, it's pretty whatever. I wouldn't say no if it was free and in front of me. But in Korea, holy shit it looks like it should in the picture, and it tastes pretty damn good.
If mcdonalds only sold fries and sprite, I could understand, but the burgers, the main selling point, are so substandard that I class them as a negative one star restaurant. Rather than being a particularly amazing restaurant in it’s own category, it’s a particularly shit restaurant in it’s own category
the only way to know for sure it was pubes is the chew test
Tasting good is about the only thing McDonald's has going for it (which is one of the 6 components that make up flavor).
This dork is either making a bad faith argument or he has a bad case of streamer brain.
McDonald's is tasty asf, anyone who says otherwise is lying. McDonald's wouldn't have so many locations everywhere with such consistent business otherwise.
Idk if I'd say MDs tastes good, but it doesn't taste bad.
I think I've only eaten at a fast food place like twice in the last 5 years, so I'm an extremely authoritative source.
What were your two orders in the past 5 years?
@@ChloetteSK One year ago a cheeseburger and fries at a 5-Guys while on vacation in the Netherlands, it doesn't exist where I live so I was curious, it was good but overrated imo (or maybe I set my expectations wrong for a fast food chain, but their prices are relatively high)
The other time was in fact McDonalds, it was a while ago so I don't even really remember when it was, much less what I ordered, but if MDs has one thing going for it it's consistency so it probably was exactly as expected. I do think their fries taste good though.
NL based as always
This dude is like the definition of reddit. A lot of safe edgy opinions. Hes still nice though
Is this a regional thing? Does McDonald's actually taste good in other parts of the world?
I believe so, yes
@@krystofmec6491 that's crazy. You've got to be drunk or hungover to eat McDonald's in Australia, it's absolute garbage
@@CS0723 same in Europe in my experience
Till this day I am not sure how much of this argument is actual true differences in production standards and ingredient sources and how much is an elaborate marketing ploy to get (American) tourist to eat McDonalds while traveling abroad
McDonalds in Poland has a line of "premium" burgers that actually taste pretty good for a chain restaurant.
He kinda had me until the comments about the chicken being amazing and it deserving 2 Michelin stars. Easily 1 of 5 allotted bad takes
I genuinely don't like McD, but I don't like any fast food tbf
They do have pretty decent chicken. Other stuff is eh.
I like Sonic and Taco Bell more though.
McDonald’s tastes bad
Ok this man has clearly never had actually good fried chicken in his life, I will however conceede that McNuggets are delightfully terrible and probably one of the best foods on the market for that "comfortably shitty" vibe.
KFC fans be like
@@CZEFrank nah KFC is shit, and i'm *from* Kentucky
@@CZEFrank i just have really strong opinions about fried chicken in general
@@involuntaryascetic3602What’s your opinion on Popeyes? I’m biased as I worked there when I was in high school. The chicken sandwich was unbeatable
@@skybleat. i've not had popeyes, as it's not in my area. i've had KFC, Lee's, and Cane's; KFC is terrible as the chicken is like 30% breading and so crispy that it's impossible to chew properly; Cane's (judging solely by the chicken itself, your sauce, iced tea, and honey biscuits can't fucking save you here) is mid as fuck but not offensively bad like KFC is, and Lee's is actually good if a little bit too greasy at times
MacDonalds is so inconsistent tho
In the Czech Republic, Subway is like the best fast food available, Burger King is okay and McDonald's is utter trash 💁
cant do this to me... czech mcdonalds was my childhood...
(Bonus when i moved the BBQ formula was completely different between czechia and USA and i was so sad)
McNugget doesn’t even breach the top 10 chicken nugget
You're off the meds if you think McNuggets can't hang. If we're going just off chains: McNuggets are (at worst) on par. At best they are the king of fast food junk nuggets
The Royal Scam beats Aja every time, just saying
