My Dad's McDonald's commercial circa 1978

It's crazy what turns up on Youtube! I just stumbled on this. My Dad (Tall one on right) and his buddy Jim made this commercial back in 1978. Dad died 3 years later of a heart attack (probably too many Egg McMuffins lol) anyway, it's a funny commercial and didn't go as scripted really at all. There's a spot in it where Dad was supposed to get the line right, but blew it anyway and shakes his head "no", then he proceeds to give Jim so much **** during it that Jim can't ever get the line right either. The producers like the back and forth so much they left the commercial as it was and it ran for quite a while nationwide.

What a bizarre thing to stuble across all these years later.

Thought I'd share with my friends here.
Enjoy:
