(Cringes in George Costanza)
Haha I remember this fucking commercal. XD
I totally remember this. The days of styrofoam extreme at McD’s. Everything had styrofoam. Pretty sure that was the secret to their fries.
Edit: /s for the fries
In my humble opinion, that, with cheese, was the best burger that McDonald’s ever did.
Zero fucks given for the amount of styrofoam used in that packaging haha.

Nothing says environmental consciousness like double styrofoam containers.
His hair and this limited promotion had an exclusive deal I guess bc both disappeared around the same time *merp
I kinda feel like they should bring back the McDLT.
That jacket is glorious. And I love how insincere he sounds. All I can see is George.
Jason Alexander was a big Broadway star before Seinfeld. I lived in NYC at the time and the commercial for him in Guys and Dolls is burned in my mind. When Seinfeld came along I remember thinking “Why is Jason Alexander hanging out with these nobodies?”.
You say that just once you want your hamburger hot and your lettuce and tomato cool and crisp all at the same time while you’re having sex, combining two pleasures at once??
I want some random guy to come up to me and a group of other people on the street and say
> Say you’re getting tired of lettuce and tomato hamburgers in this town that don’t quite make it?
So I can be like
# YEAH!
I don’t understand the purpose of keeping the hot side hot and the cool side cool. Like buys food from McDonald’s that they don’t plan on eating either immediately or after a short drive? I can see why this one went away.
Though loved seeing Jason Alexander in this commercial.
This is just how shit was in the 80s. We broke out in spontaneous, yet perfectly choreographed dance all the fucking time.
There is something so terrifying about this commercial but I can’t place it
Why would you have cheese on the cool side? It should be melted on the patty.
That is one of the least catchy commercial jingles I’ve ever heard.
I can’t get over him calling it a “lettuce and tomato hamburger” as though that was some revolutionary concept.
I wonder what they looked like irl?
“Prepare to be disappointed” – that’s my fast food motto.
Keeping cool things cool ….
I was in the pool … I was in the pool!!!
He was 25 years old here
Thought I was watching Grease the movie for a second there…
Bring this shit back! 🍔
You’ve really lost a lot of hair.
The world simply used to be a happier and better place
My friends and I watched the 1981 slasher movie The Burning a week ago and caught this guy in it the instant he showed up. Was funny to see him in stuff he did before Seinfeld. Very distinct voice.
I can’t believe no one is talking about “hot beefy McD”
I’m glad I was a very young child in the 1980s and can’t be blamed for them.
“It *could* be the best tasting lettuce and tomato hamburger ever!”
Nice weasel word lol. It *could be*, idunno just buy it!
This ad is like weaponised 80’s
This ad is the answer to the question: “Why is America the way it is?”
These MCDLTs are MAKING ME THIRSTY.
The first Fast Food place that puts old menu items on regular rotation as promotional items will hit a home run with nostalgic buyers. Think of the Disney Mulans Sechuan sauce tie in.
To me, this has the same vibe as the opening scene to Austin Powers.
Extra styrofoam at no extra charge!
“Boy, you have really lost a lot of hair.”
This isn’t a separate type of hamburger. It’s just an almost complete hamburger.
Cynthia: He’s bald?
Elaine: No! No, no, no, he’s not bald. He’s balding.
Cynthia: So he will be bald.
Elaine: Yup.
The weirdest thing about this – and there are so many; I was a HS soph/junior when this came out – is that McDonald’s thought the cheese should be on the cool side.
I’m so old I not only remember the ad, I got to be disappointed in the product in real time.
the gimmick didn’t work. thee hamburger part didn’t really stay hot, and they didn’t put the cheese on the burger hot side where it belonged. The lettuce and tomato were low quality, the tomato was tasteless pink sand. The lettuce was a scanty indifferent iceberg leaf that still wilted under the heatlamp, styrofoam notwithstanding. It was also a huge box that had to go sideways in the bag if you didn’t eat in with a tray.
Jason Alexander carried Seinfeld.
(I kind of assume this is an accepted fact).
**YOU’RE BALD!!!**
Why is the cheese on the cold side?! WHY!?!!
That’s actually not an awful idea, especially in this new age of delivery apps delivering fast food
The McDLT was actually the best burger McDonald’s ever made. It should be reintroduced with biodegradable packaging.
Why is the cheese on the cool side?
