mcdonald's commercial

An MTV-inspired music video with McDonald's food in it.

In other words: Commercials using pop music artists, hot young and thin people (who probably spit the hamburger out after each take at the risk of cheating on their water-only diet), hip fashions and music video special effects in order to promote McDonald's life-threatening fast food---when in actuality, McDonald's has probably agreed on a joint contract with the RIAA to promote new pop music and at the same time sell their deadly food. In describing the meal being advertised, words that usually described food like "delicious", "mouth-watering", "fresh" or "spicy" are replaced with words like "sassy", "hip", "funky" or "sexy" (i.e. Try our new Spicy Chicken Wrap! 100% all white chicken, covered in hip lettuce, sassy cheese and topped with a sweet and sexy sauce!).

I turned the channel to what I though was a music video. Timbaland's song was playing and a bunch of kids, dressed like Pharrell Williams were roller-skating and doing tricks in the middle of a skating rink. Lights were flashing everywhere and the girls and guys were flirting. I waited for Timbaland to appear but instead the commercial ended with the kids eating double cheese burgers and skating at the same time...then that notorious "BADA BA BA BA!"

All of this for a fucking hamburger? Your typical mcdonald's commercial.

it's a commercial

"I'm only having a laugh." "It's just a joke." "It's only for the benefit of the TV cameras." Said in a condescending tone when you played a trick on someone and want to tell them it's only a joke. Or when you accidentally did something stupid and want to pretend it was a joke. As popularised by Michael Winner on British TV.

Calm down, dear, it's a commercial.

Let's cut to commercial

To promptly end an ridiculous conversation and, or quickly move into another topic in the middle of a conversation.

Let’s take a selfie, with a great white shark. Okay, let's cut to commercial.

commercial surrealism

A style of filmmaking that uses odd angles, zooms, pointless video effects, musical numbers, and sudden noises to try to keep an audience's attention, but ends up just drowning whatever information is intended with sheer noise. Common in the 1990s, for instructional videos and commercials. Best exemplified by Bill Nye.

Coined by the RedLetterMedia series "Best of the Worst"

"Ugh, I didn't learn a thing from that science video, all I got from it is a headache. It was too full of commercial surrealism to understand."
