Lost Racist "You Better Don't" McDonalds Ad

Here’s a Reddit comment saying that they never saw the ad but that they remembered their coworker referencing it: https://www.reddit.com/r/nostalgia/comments/5ing65/comment/db9v330/

They say that it was the husband trying to take the black lady’s nugget, but I’m pretty sure they’re misremembering.

while searching through commercial breaks from August - October 2004, I found another Chicken Selects ad (https://youtu.be/alwhsQMZ5pA?si=j05vOoLzNaoVpu0D&t=1157, 19:18). Between the ads we've seen, it seems the "Don't take my Chicken Selects" phrase was a slogan and driving idea throughout the campaign.

It also means that McDonalds was advertising the Chicken Selects product on NBC in August of 2004, so NBC is a likely channel the ad might have aired on.

Yeah, this one comes up a lot. The others from around the same time were the girl on the couch talking to herself and the one with a musician guy in his apartment. Also worth noting that Subway had a few ads from late 2004 calling out the Chicken Selects campaign which pop up from time to time.

Something I do fairly regularly is check through YouTube transcripts (how I found that video mentioning it in my earlier comment). Here's some example searches:

filmot.com/search/%22chicken+selects%22/1?title=commercials&gridView=1&

filmot.com/search/%22chicken+selects%22/1?title=2004&gridView=1&

Still nothing at the moment but a good way to view the other Chicken Selects ads in the wild. Ironically the only result for "you better don't" and "chicken selects" in the same video has nothing to do with the ad itself lol

Should also add this doesn't necessarily mean it's not on YouTube. Filmot is a very useful tool but it doesn't recognise all channels, or the commercial could be in a video that doesn't have subs at all.

I think that thumbnail is for this ad.

Yea I was thinking the same one, I think its not the one were looking for.

Hopefully this time we’ll actually be able to find something

I did a quick look through it and didn't see anything. That compilation came out last year and the commercial was lost during that time so I don't think its in there.
