@@KairuHakubi number one I was only five years old in 1985 and number two I'm Australian so never saw this ad or burger but number three yes I'm aware styrofoam packaging was considered bad for the environment which is why they eventually stopped using it but you're missing my point that the other person is saying they were more excited about the fucking packaging than the DLT itself...
@@JohnBloggs-m8l and I'm tellin you man back in this day, people got way more worked up over packaging concerns than they did over a sandwich being available in two pieces.

I messed up the quote twice in chat and Jerma yelled at me, twice. "you got it wrong!" "You forgot the most important part" "No! You got it wrong again!" I can still remember the way he said it as if he we saying to to me now. I was on the verge of tears, I tried to apologize but he didn't read my messages in chat. I hope he can find it somewhere in his heart to forgive me for what I've done, it obviously deeply offended him, I could tell by the tone of his voice. I won't screw it up again, I'm gonna make Jerma proud, I'm gonna make him smile, and i'm not gonna make him get frustrated and yell at me again. The McDLT ad is one of the things he holds nearest and dearest, and I made a mockery of it, unknowingly of course. My intentions were good, but the consequences of my actions caused pain.

I could picture an episode of Seinfeld where George tries to find a VHS tape of an old tv ad George was in in order to land a role in an upcoming tv show and impress his girlfriend.

That's what I've been saying for literally *decades* about the McDlt! It really wasn't a bad burger, except for the idiotic decision to put the cheese on the cold side - I've never met anyone who preferred a cheeseburger with *cold* cheese!
"Cheese on the cold side, what's up with that?" "Not that there's anything (there's definitely something) wrong with that!" Mickey D's would be smart to retro the McDLT and bring it back for a limited time! McDonald's, if you read this and bring it back... you "totally" owe me a free McDLT :)
Very effective and fun commercial. The energy the background people bring along with Jason Alexander, the jingle, and the vibrate and bright colorful clothes they all are wearing. Don't see that in today's commercials.
Believe it or not George isn't home, please leave a mes-sage at the beep I must be out, or I'd pick up the phone Where could I be Believe it or not, I'm not home
Okay, I don't necessarily like McDonalds, but this commercial does combine two things I like: musical/choreographed commercials and 80s vibes. I found this ad very catchy.
I always find advertising interesting because the people who make them are often smart and highly paid. So you can learn some cool things just from watching ads.
@@LegendLength And it's no coincidence that all the people in the commercial are dressed in the colors that match the sandwich?! The lady in the yellow overalls match the McDonald's yellow arches for example?!🍔🍟🤡🧐
This commercial aired in 1985. I have this same commercial on my copy of game 6 of the 1985 World Series, which aired on October 26 that year - so it goes back at least that far.
Yes and no. I was for St Louis. YES, it was a bad call. However, STL only hit .185 in the Series. If not for a terrible baserunning mistake in game one and Howser NOT bringing in Quisenberry to finish game two - the Royals might have been up 3-0 in that series. The series was about what it should have been but Game 7 was just plain awful.
Ah, yes, this is awesome. I worked at McD's in my senior yr of high school. It was Fall of '85 when the McDLT was introduced. Corporate threw this HUGE fu-fu-she-she party to get us minimum-wager teenagers all pumped up about it. Then when someone would ask for a Quarter Pounder we'd ask "With the works?! (Insert cheesy smile here.)" Well, yeah, the customer would say. We'd ring them up for a McDLT. Surprise! Here's a eco-unfriendly styro-box the size of a microwave & at the cost one one, too!
Does anybody remember Wendy's spoof on the Mc DLT? The commercial does not seem to be anywhere on TH-cam. Anyhow it showed a helicopter flying into a top secret barracks looking building. Cut to the inside and these two scientist looking guys asking "whats in it"? Silver platter opens up, and one the guys says "oh my god, lettuce and tomato and than a voice over says "are you still going to that burger place that just discovered lettuce and tomatoes? Come on over to Wendy's where we have always had it! Al-tho I will say, that I really liked the Mc DLT especially the mayonnaise used on it.
You know what killed this burger? The fact that they put the cheese on the cool side. I mean WTF who wants cold cheese on their hamburger. GAG. Melt that shit
bucky468 Yep. Here in Canada the McDLT has come back with the addition of Bacon as the Quarter Pounder BLT. Of course, no HOot and Cold Side, sadly. But tasty!
RLMAOO.. This commercial was funny and fun to watch for some reason 😁😁 . I like when George throws his head back with excitement about a Mcburger pattie with a piece of lettuce, a slice of cold processed cheese, and 2 slices of tomatoes on it @ 0:06 😁 . Must've been fun times in the 80's.
What I wish more than anything is that they would unearth the exact same ad for every Seinfeld cast member -- that none of em had known they had been in exact replica TV ads before meeting each other until the revelation was made public. Also, what a concept for a burger -- they've really deconstructed something from nothing here. "The hot side stays hot, the cool side stays cool"? "No more eating cold burger meat merely because veggies have been placed 'on the other side [then on top of the burger]' folks!"
I love how the cheese is on the cool side. Nothing like an unmelted, cold slice of cheese stuck between the lettuce and tomato. That was the burger's only drawback.
McDLT was the best burger in the world with fresh tomato lettuce and mayo that you easily put together. What a mistake that they cancelled that. And please change that 5 note melody jingle at the end of their commercials that has remained the same since like over 20 years.
My brother and I finished up a long shift repairing a recycle plant, and dropped by McDonalds, I ordered a double McDLT, ... the cashier/server was puzzled Another employee remarked "We haven't had that for years" (In retrospect his was probably 6 or 8 years after it was discontinued) The manager was nearby and remarked that's OK .. ring it up as a double quarter pounder ... And he himself made me, in two boxes, a REAL McDLT 🙂 My brother used to tell the tory "My brother can walk into a random McDonalds, and they will make him any off menu food he wants" 🙂
Mickey D's would be smart to do a retro thing and bring it back for a limited time! McDonald's, if you read this & bring it back... how about a free McDLT(?) :)
I used to like that sandwich. Maybe they’ll bring back the Arch Deluxe, since that would be more realistic with a comeback than the McDLT because the foam boxes are history.

I have a bit of a love affair with the 1980s.

That would make my whole life have meaning again lol and yes that quarter pounder deluxe is another favorite of mine. But the double or even triple deluxe can't go wrong
I can’t believe the McRib is coming back but this magnificent McDLT is remaining dead. Whenever I get a burger at McDonalds, I always ask to get some cold ass cheese on top that taste like it’s from a broken nacho dispenser at a run down move theater.
A burger divided against itself, cannot stand!
Best reference.
That's Gold Yairo, Gold!
I don't like that burger. I must get to know it better.
I miss independent burger.
That’s the real reason the DLT failed
This must've been the summer of george

It was supposed to be the summer of George, He later slipped on the side walk and was laid up all summer in hospital
I wish I was as passionate about anything as George is about that cheeseburger.
Most likely his paycheck was the true motivation.
its called a fucking McDlT you fucking reptile
Grapes of Death That...was uncalled for.
give me $50k and i'll sing and dance about getting excited to vote Hillary Clinton in 2024

The sea was angry that day, my friends. Like an old man trying to send back a McDLT at McDonalds.
I love how boosted the saturation is.
It’s like watching blurry crayons melt over an 80s radiator.
Everything in the 80s was like that. We lived in a strange world full of brightly-colored polygons.
It would be a real shame if this guy ever lost that magnificent head of hair.
We'll never know
You know the new addition to the Gugenheim? That was him.
*shaved it off*
If you look carefully, you'll see that he DOES lose that hair (temporarily) in the middle of the commercial. Stop the action at :30.

I dunno, I actually prefer cold cheese on a burger.
*What*?!?!?!?
That's cheeseburger *sacrilege*!
Honestly the cheese taste awtered down when melteed to much, its best when it just stats to melt/
I agree, I miss the DLT so much, Now when I make a burger, I put on cold cheese.
The DLT was and is my favorite McDonalds burger ever.
@Speed Buggy - Even more so given how most fast food cheeses are spiked with preservatives and chemicals that make the cheese melt faster.
"Don't ever be like me, son. You cannot even begin to fathom the depths I've been to..."
That was so funny. I will always see Jason Alexander as George Costanza and that is what makes it so hilarious. Five stars!
Very effective and fun commercial. The energy the background people bring along with Jason Alexander, the jingle, and the vibrate and bright colorful clothes they all are wearing. Don't see that in today's commercials.

0:47 nothing says cool like a bow tie
"🎵 Believe it or not, George isn't at home, please leave a message at the beep! I must be out, or I'd pick up the phone, where could I be? Believe it or not, I'm not home!🎵"
LYRICS:
[intro]
Hey, you say you're getting tired of lettuce and tomato hamburgers in this town that don't quite make it? (Yeah!)
You say that just once you'd like your hamburger hot and your lettuce and tomato cool and crisp, all at the same time? (Yeah!)
Well I say, you got it! I'm talking McDonald's new lettuce and tomato hamburger, the McDLT!
I'm talking quarter pound of beef on the hot hot side
(And the hot *clap clap* stays hot)
The new McDLT (hot hot)
Crisp lettuce and tomato on the cool cool side
(And the cool *clap clap* stays cool)
The new McDLT (cool crisp)
The beef stays hot, the cool stays crisp
Put it together, you can't resist
The hottest taste, the coolest dish
[bridge]
(Keep the hot hot)
(Keep the cool cool)
(McDLT, McDLT)
(Hot beefy McD)
(Cool crisp LT)
(McD *clap clap* LT)
It's a good time
(Hot beefy McD)
For the great taste
(Cool crisp LT)
Of McDonalds
[outro]
Could be the best tasting lettuce and tomato hamburger ever!
(New McD *clap clap* LT)
Dang, this was the best sandwich they ever had. Even as a kid, I would forgo the Happy Meal and get the McDLT.
I say bring it back!
I'm with you one hundred percent. That was just the best idea
Quarter pounder deluxe
That would make my whole life have meaning again lol and yes that quarter pounder deluxe is another favorite of mine. But the double or even triple deluxe can't go wrong
@@GalagaKing2 no like... the quarter pounder deluxe is the McDLT. It's just not in styrofoam
McDonalds just introduced the BLT which is basically the same sandwich, but the patty is upgraded to a quarter pounder
George is upset by warm lettuce!
Was this his “big break” ?
I can’t believe the McRib is coming back but this magnificent McDLT is remaining dead.
Whenever I get a burger at McDonalds, I always ask to get some cold ass cheese on top that taste like it’s from a broken nacho dispenser at a run down move theater.
The qtr pounder delux is a pretty close version of the ancient MC DLT
