Are we getting closer to finding this ad yet?

I think our only hope is someone seeing the thread and uploading it or someone just coming across it by chance online somewhere.

Has anyone thought of the idea of looking on non English video hosting sites to see if someone from another non English speaking country found it and uploaded it? Or has anyone tried looking on other popular sites besides YouTube or even looking on YouTube clone sites?

Yeah, I actually did try this back when I was actively searching for this ad. I tried some foreign video sites, other video hosting sites like YouTube, even stuff like conservative video sites like Bitchute, and some Russian video site that I thought had it, but it didn't. So yeah, at least from the video sites I tried, I got nothing.

Please don't reply to bots, it just encourages them. Ignore and report instead. If you do this again I'll give you a warning.

I banned the bot. I always do. Whenever I see the report, I ban immediately. I was just telling you, so in the future, you don't get a warning. Please don't talk back.

Sort of related to this inquiry, I just found a Spanish Chicken Selects ad: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AzTmjqogkE

It has to be from late ~2004 as well. The McDonald's arch outro graphic is the same one used in other 2004 McDonald's commercials.

Also, IIRC, this commercial is only the second time a CS advert ties into the Disney's Magical Gathering vacation! The only other being "Mama." I know we discussed the potential of Disney and Chicken Selects being a bigger partnership, but we had only ever uncovered the singular ad that also shouts out Disney.

What I find a bit odd about this ad in Spanish is that the woman talks about sharing her chicken, not keeping it away from others... LOL.

not sure if this has already been suggested/tried so please ignore me if so, but what if we tried contacting the people on old forums talking about the ad to see if they recorded it to show to friends or something? it's VERY wishful thinking, but honestly if there's any chance it could lead us to something, I think it could be worth giving a shot

Here’s something we can try:

Since ad was obviously pre-YouTube and there are a limited amount of recordings, the next best thing (besides forums) would be blog posts. I can confirm that blogs were HUGE back then, and Livejournal (just one of many examples) was probably at its peak.

If we find a blog that mentions it, it might have screenshots which we can reverse image search and potentially find new info or even a video.

I’m going to try it today and report back with my findings.
