I can’t help but love this commercial from McDonald’s Canada. They sent a guy around the world to ask various locals (who don’t speak English) where the nearest McDonald’s was. It’s awesome.
Yes, it’s for a fast food chain. Yes, when in a foreign country, you’re supposed to try the local cuisine. Yes, it shows how commercial the world has become.
So what?
Seeing the joy and relief when the people in the commercial finally figure out what he’s trying to say is great.
Love it.

I love it too! One of the best commercials I’ve seen in a while. Simple but carries a very strong message about the strength of their brand!
While totally not a fan of McDonalds, and I agree – one should eat local cuisine and experience the culture of the place they are visiting, there are times when McD’s are worth it – got food poisoning from a burger in Bolivia. That would have been one of those times!
I am with you though – it is an awesome add! And they don’t even show the Golden Arches!
