please m'am desert
[Music]

[Music]
good day beautiful people my name is
Francine Isabela and my partner for this
presentation is Marty TR the video you
just watch is the chosen advertisement
that we wanted to expound them so let's
begin the advertisement we chose is the
recent mcdo commercial entitled you're a
happy Le the specific scene we CL is the
ending scene where the employee offered
an ice cream to her girlfriend who kept
on coming back ordering through the
drivethru just to catch a clips of her
the girlfriend stared at the employee
admiring her and the employee said
Bak a playful use of words that are
usually meant for the ice cream melting
but in this context it is directed
towards her possibly melting because of
the intense SK so why did we choose this
particular scene well aside from its
cuteness we chose this scene because it
revealed that the girl wasn't just
sitting on a random employee and that
they actually have a close relationship
as a result it enhanced the meaning of
the past gestures of the girl going
through the trouble of ordering multiple
times using the drive-thru just to see
her partner and this realization gives
off the gig factor that strikes the
heart of the
[Music]
oans so one of the notable aspects of
creativity that was shown in the
commercial is the witness of using a
skateboard through the drive-thru as a
means for ordering food aside from the
fan service the kague factor it is just
a clever way to show that mdos
drive-thru accepts and promotes that way
of ordering partnered with the
cheesiness of the
video as we can see it is really
noticeable that the Masa loves love
themed commercials because this is often
deemed the most relatable concept today
and considered one of the easiest to hit
a viral video a few examples of Love
themed commercials of mdo that went
viral before or the T parin commercial
from 2016 led by the actress Elise hoson
who was at the time was actually going
through a breakup and of course who
would forget
[Applause]
[Music]
the God of course who would forget that
by alen Richards and Main Mendoza Ang
tambalang ala back in 2016 and many many
more since the video is an advertisement
the purpose of it is to promote the
brand name of McDonald's which they
managed to build they were able to
feature the easy drive-through mechanics
that they offer as well as the friendly
employees working there making the
ordering process much more
comfortable
[Music]
as we can all see the intended audience
for this commercial aside from mdo
promoting themselves is this is for the
lgbtq plus Community it is made to
promote inclusivity after years and
years of discrimination ignorance
turning a blind eye and acting like they
don't exist until finally the mass media
and the corporate world are learning to
accept and include them it is great to
know and witness that our generation
today are open and accepting of this
kind of relationship kind of love and
kind of life as someone who also
declares themselves as queer I feel so
seen I feel so heard I feel so validated
and cherished for the first time because
there are only only few contents that
are good enough to represent my
community without over sexualizing them
or over fantasizing them I love that
this commercial was done delicately with
respect respect and love we're not
trying too hard they are not trying to
be too obvious it was just a Hint it was
just an undertone that only few can
notice and understand and I love
that in a praise the message that the
audience can derive from it is that
McDonald's connects people a short but
meaningful one McDonald's is a place
that you could use to make memories with
your love ones to share time with them
and even to meet new people it's really
up to you to decide and this value
extends to the lgbtq plus Community they
are welcome in the establishment and
assured that they are safe McDonald's
brings people together regardless of
their background or
identity so yeah um that's the end of
this video I hope you enjoyed this as
much as I did and before I end this
video I first want to commment but Don
for filming this video I know their
purpose was to um promote their um um
brand name but the message of it
actually hits the spot for our lgbtq
plus community and I appreciate that so
