McDonalds Commercial with Two Blue-Collar/Daddy Types

Mickey D(ick)s.

Blue collar/no homo

No, haven't seen it but would love to. Surprised it's being aired in the fucking stupid, right-wing flyover states. Unless it's Minnesota.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Point of fact: Iowa (smack dab in the middle of the heartland) was the third state — and first in the nation's heartland — to allow same-sex couples to marry.

R3 - Illinois would like a word.

(Democratic Governor, two Democratic senators, Democratic super-majorities in both houses of the state legislature)

Blue collar: fucking but no kissing

I'm in New England and have seen it too. I am glad to see that I am not the only one who thought there was gay undercurrent - intentional or not in the ad.

OP How about posting the fucking ad if you wish to about it. No I haven’t seen a McDonald’s television ad.

[quote]Blue collar: fucking but no kissing

Rent boys: fucking but no kissing

No OP, because you made it up.

Do they pull into a back corner of the parking lot and give each other blowies?

Do you mean this, OP?

That was hot

So it's blue collar just because it's in a truck? It's definitely wholesome and slightly tender, but I can't say it's hot or homoerotic.

Considering both those guys are average I think OP really needs to get those cataracts tended to.

That was much ado about nothing much.

The driver is cute

As if Miss PC R17 .

I thought the driver was cute, too. You don't have to be PC to find a 'colored' man cute.

I don’t see anything that suggests they’re more than co-workers and/or friends.

It's nice to see a (possible) gay male couple portrayed in a simple practical moment. We're not all token sassy effeminate aspiring drag queens.

He should’ve also put a roll of toilet paper in his lap, ‘cause he’s gonna need it in about 30 mins.

There’s nothing gay about this, they make it very clear they’re going to work, hence the work truck and the need for blue collar/ trashy breakfast.

They’re going to work alright, but I don’t thing it’s listed on Angie

they seem like nice boys

Nope. I get blue collar construction worker more than gay couple.

LOL, R23, “trashy breakfast.”

The way he said “good morning” was very masculine and sexy, I liked it

nothing to see here

flannel work shirt/ no homo

This thread demonstrates that gay men think everything is about sex. A man looks at them, especially another gay man, and they say, “you’re gross, I’m NOT having sex with you!”, when that person is just saying “hi”.

“I may have put that crotch to sleep 😴 last night💕 but now I’m waking it up for a sexy redux”

I have been fortunate enough to work alongside with this special breed of American. They probably just take turns jerking off in the truck. “Dammit, Cody! The cab smells like spunk and egg McMuffins, again!” They don’t fuck their wives, they don’t fuck each other, they just fuck up the landscaping. Leaf Master, indeed!!!

Why do their shirts have sleeves? I blame the art director!!!

Ennis takes Jack to McDonald’s the morning after quitting time

r31 I see your point and completely agree. You can explain away everything in the commercial EXCEPT placing the bag on the guy's crotch. Smack him in the face with it. Yell "Here's yer friggin' breakfast!" Even remove the coffee cup lid so he can eventually smell it. Anything like that.

The SECOND he put the bag on the guy's lap, it said "Here babe, I got you your favorite."

Thanks for posting actual ad, R12. Not quite like OP described.

The Burger King ad was sexier and more homoerotic.

I hope this is an exciting new direction for McDonald’s

It's cute but, no OP. I don't think it's being suggested they're a couple. These days, if they want to portray a gay couple and be subtle, they'll make it more obvious, guaranteed. It's not a business killer anymore, especially for McD's.

That said, we've been noticing in my house recently how more and more commercials are portraying lesbians, and so very few portray gay couples. If it's a gay couple, you're almost assured that one is in the foreground, one is in the background, they're using one almost as an object in the rule of thirds, (i.e., offsetting the frame and showing elements that are meant to be shown but not part of the subject matter itself). There's one commercial where it's more obvious, one for breakfast cereal or something like that where one is a chubby bear-like guy in a robe and the other one is, of course, fully dressed so as not to suggest they BOTH just got out of the same bed.

By contrast, Amazon LOVES lesbian couples in its TV spots. Currently, they're running one commercial where at least two scenes show what is obviously female couples. In one, the very butch, black mom is brushing her teeth in a tiny, very humble-looking bathroom, with a gaggle of noisy kids shuffling around her feet. She's looking at her phone, notices an Amazon item that's inexpensive and remarks "Wow! That's a low price!". The other mommy, a white, less butch lesbian pokes her head out of the shower curtain and says "What's a low price?". The message is clear. Lesbians = SAFE, family-oriented, worthy of parenthood, can be safely portrayed in a bathroom setting. Yet while depicted gay men MAY be shown to have a kid or two around, it's always in a well-appointed or "trendy/modern" home, with fashionable furnishings, perfectly dressed kids and the "dads" aren't within 10 feet of each other. Juussstttt enough distance so as not to upset all the mommies and homophobe guys out there in TV land.

Family Guy recently had an episode that mocked the depiction of gay men on television. In a dream Lois was having, Quagmire and Joe were gay neighbors and a couple, they came by in the morning, jogging, continued to jog as they talked. Joe explained to Lois "We're television gays, we're only allowed to jog and smooch-kiss". So very true.

Playing in Nevada - I think it's really sweet. (won't eat there, but they come up with some great ads).

Why is it that gay men always must be shown to be very attractive and affluent, if not outright gorgeous. Yet gay women are often shown as "real" people? It sucks as a gay guy to see that's what I'm apparently supposed to look like and live like and, if I don't, I'm not supposed to see myself in that ad. Dove soap can show obese women dancing around and rubbing on each other wearing nothing but bras and panties. But fuck forbid a masculine, less that beautiful gay guy or couple be depicted on network television.

I'm lovin' it.

The dudes in the Sonic commercials are sexier, and have better fuck chemistry.

It doesn't read 'gay' to me. It is a 'no homo' depiction of str8 male intimacy.

OP here, R12, thanks for posting the ad. I don't know how to post something that is currently on t.v.. Hopefully, someone will share the procedure.

God, OP that commercial is nothing like you breathlessly described it to be.

Looks like gay blue collar men, or rural gay guys. They’re not like the city gays, they fly under the radar.

[quote}Not quite like OP described.

How so, R36. Be more speccific.

[quote]

R46, If you think my description was "breathless," you've got a lot to learn.

[quote]In the ad, one of them is asleep and the other buys him a breakfast and places the sack on his sleeping chest, the aroma of which rouses him from sleep and he sexily/groggily says "thank you." The other hunk suggestively smiles and says "you're welcome."

^^R49/OP if YOU don’t think that’s breathless YOU’VE got a lot to learn.

OP, I saw the intimacy between the two blue collars.

Well, say buh-bye to intimacy, when they’re both running for the toilet.

They could have taken it a bit further with him reaching into the bag and feeling around to get his McMuffin.

Drop the bitch & make the switch! McDonald's.

Actually I’m seeing gays suggested in more and more medical commercials. (And not just HIV meds) The portrayals are low key, but clear enough so as to trigger gaydar without unduly frightening the horses.

There’s an asthma medication where a blindfolded guy is hitting a piñata and in a quick cut, a smiling, short blond twink is steadying the first guy’s twirl.

There’s another where a 40-something Hispanic guy is plays hopscotch (!) and chases balls around the neighborhood with mucho flair.

Not to mention (non-medical) Chris Rock’s very prim and proper next door “buddy” in the Capital One ad.

All are somewhat subtle, like OPs ad

Many current ads are on iSpot.tv, which is technically meant for the ad industry. But you can often search brands and find a particular ad.

I found the ones with my future ex husband Jeremy Brandt, the Capital One tall hottie.
