in 2019 mcdonald's paid a youtuber to
create a sponsored video to try and get
their audience interested in working at
mcdonald's and together they created an
abomination the video comes from a
vlogging channel who talks about how it
was their dream to work at mcdonald's
for two hours i guess
he works a shift at mcdonald's talking
about how amazing it is in the beginning
he talks about how easy it is to apply
to mcdonald's and how great of an
opportunity it is so very corporate
mcdonald's is using this man like a
[ __ ] fleshlight
he's talking about mcdonald's being
basically heaven on earth with the way
he's describing it you know i almost
damn near applied to work there myself
after finishing the video but the whole
thing is so condescending and it breaks
my number one rule for human decency
don't [ __ ] with people just doing their
jobs especially in the service industry
any job where someone has to interact
with customers is absolutely miserable
not even the deepest pit of hell would
subject the damned souls to that level
of torture it's just that inhumane so
don't be that douchebag that makes their
job worse and unfortunately this video
annihilates that rule i wouldn't be
surprised that the vlogger is the
hamburglar in disguise this is just
downright uncomfortable per usual though
i'd like to give a quick reminder don't
harass anyone in this video we are in
the kitchen watching down there
this is so much bigger than i thought it
was going to be her face right there
really tells the whole story he's just a
nuisance this is an actual work day with
legitimate workers not paid actors just
here doing their jobs just hoping to
clock in clock out call it a day but
this dude just rampages throughout the
kitchen bombarding them with questions
as well as just acting like an overly
enthusiastic drunk football fan and just
getting in their way and talking down to
them at points
[Music]
this is good this is good oh my word
look at that
that is the burger presses yeah that's
what cooks the burgers
this guy is acting like a caveman seeing
technology for the first time he had his
mind blown that patties were being
cooked back here pointing out the burger
press is mental like what what do you
mean what do you think happened you
think ronald mcdonald was just in the
back pulling the patties out of his
[ __ ] like of course they're getting
cooked back here it's a [ __ ] kitchen
that's what happens you know it's it's
not sorcery i don't understand why this
grown man is pretending to be surprised
that paddy's are being cooked he's
acting like a child at disney world just
stunned by everything they're seeing and
excited by everything so i'm here with
reuben how you doing you're good
we're gonna we're gonna be learning how
to make something today a burger or
something but before we do i wanted to
ask you have you found it working with
donald so far
it's fun
challenging every day
he probably had to ask 20 workers that
question before he got a response that
wasn't just overwhelmingly negative but
he finally found someone who's here to
play ball reuben seems to be a very nice
guy you know saying it's fun and
challenging but now ruben will face the
biggest challenge of his life teaching
this man-child hype hypebeast how to
make a big mac for his goofy sponsored
vlog
ground here that one yeah yep goes in
there
middle one in there
by the way
yes
look at that blank lifeless expression
here while trying to pretend he's having
fun he's trying his best to make this
sponsored video something positive i
think he's just missing the mark he's
trying way too hard to make this seem
genuine it comes across as so fake
especially considering that the vlogger
is a millionaire and you've got you've
got four stars here yeah
look i've got no stars
it's about
teaching everyone awesome
well maybe one day i'll get four stars
right okay
just a silly statement because we all
know you're not going back to mcdonald's
you're just going right back to the
mansion and vlogs
we just do one yeah one yeah yeah i want
more on this one oh this one as well i'm
so happy
okay perfect
i've made my very own big mac
[Music]
successful order out yes this whole
video reminds me of that feeling when
you get a christmas present that you
really didn't want but it came from a
family member and they're sitting right
there watching you open it so then
you're obligated to pretend that you're
excited about it and happy like
oh wow mimo thank you so much i really
wanted to shake weight for christmas
this is awesome [ __ ] yeah
that's this video he's just like for
some reason so over the top happy about
everything even though
it's pretty see-through that he doesn't
care it's just a sponsored post but
bless reuben's heart because this guy
seems like such a great guy he made the
big mac himself and just let the vlogger
put the patties on so he didn't
compromise someone's order for the sake
of this guy's awful vlog he still made a
quality big mac because he didn't want
the vlogger to ruin it so hats off to
you reuben for that that's how we do it
here this is honesty this is an
operation
this is such an overrate look at burgers
going
this is just mental i never ever thought
it was like this like never
i'm really impressed though i'm really
really impressed like you gotta be on
the ball
on the ball here what do you mean what
do you think was happening at mcdonald's
this shouldn't come as a surprise you
can see the kitchen from the counter
when you're placing an order inside
like what did you think was going on
back there they have a wizard on staff
who's just conjuring up all of your food
when you place an order okay we're gonna
learn how to fry some chips right
yeah this is something that i've wanted
to do um one question i want to ask you
what's one skill that you've learned
here that you never thought you would
like to learn when you first started i
think i'd fit in perfectly you know i've
got skills
i think i would learn a lot as well
there's just something wildly
uncomfortable about this whole video
from asking these pseudo interview
questions to pretty much everyone he
talks to
i think he was probably forced to ask
these questions by the sponsor for the
video
and then also just his fake enthusiasm
it's just bad
blurry machine oh my word this is this
is like a dream come true uh so we're
gonna make this but i wanna ask you
first you're the customer care assistant
damn
well look at you that's great you're
dealing with customers all the time yes
i do great things right that's perfect
that's why you're the customer care
assistant yes you see what i mean
there's something just off-putting about
the way he talks to the workers here
saying [ __ ] like damn look at you or
that's why you're the customer care
assistant like it just seems so
belittling and talking down to them
maybe i'm reading too deep into it and
maybe he's just not comfortable in this
format but that's just the vibe i got
across this whole thing where he feels
like he's better than everyone around
him so he's just teasing
like passively teasing them i've never
really liked these kind of videos where
they treat average people like props for
their videos i think it's terrible and
this whole video just comes across as
douchey and it certainly isn't helped
when he says [ __ ] like this is a dream
come true obviously it doesn't mean that
put your money where your mouth is if
you really do mean that quit vlogging
and work full time at mcdonald's for the
rest of your career show me that you
really mean that this is a dream come
true for you
hi sir how are you doing how can i help
you today welcome to mcdonald's i'm good
all right what are you doing uh i'm now
working with dolph james hi yeah yeah
what would you like me
[Music]
sir the total price is five pounds and
ninety three pence would you like to
play casual card
oh jeepers this part is rough and i cut
out like a full minute of this
conversation i feel awful for the worker
that had to stand next to this guy
during this full npc conversation here
there is no bit of dialogue that's cut
from the video or edited it's just an
uninterrupted flow of consciousness with
them kind of making a mockery of it as
the worker stands there next to them at
the cash register like it honestly feels
like mcdonald's sponsored this guy to
bully the workers it just seems so like
passively aggressive at points it just
dreadfully misses the mark mcdonald's
sponsored a clown to go to the facility
to make the workers day a little worse
for two hours pretty well i did pretty
well so um we're working with donald's
what have you learned have you learned a
lot about money management because
you're on the tilt yeah definitely well
mostly confidence confidence yeah that's
the big one
so you're a lot more confident when
customers come up you can greet them you
can say hello conversation conversation
this is a cry for help if i've ever seen
one this is a blink twice if you're
being held hostage kind of situation
that response does not seem real it
seems like they fed her that for the
video i don't think anyone that has ever
worked at mcdonald's has anything
positive to say about customer
experience that is without a doubt the
worst part of the job i'd imagine having
to talk to entitled [ __ ] that go
into mcdonald's because that seems to be
a common occurrence of every public
fight video that exists online every
single one of them i would argue 98
happen at a mcdonald's like you either
go to mcdonald's for food or to fight so
i find it very hard to believe that she
speaks highly of being able to interact
with the customers i'm very good i've
had an amazing amazing afternoon working
here at mcdonald's today how do you
think i got on
pretty good
so do you think i could potentially work
here or develop into another role yes
yeah i'd love to have you on that team
well that is great news now his dreams
really can come true he's talking about
how amazing it is so i have no doubt
that he signed up right after this video
ended and if i visited this mcdonald's
location i would see him right back
there having a good time making the big
macs and blowing him a little kiss
making him with love because of how much
he loved it clearly
i cut out a lot of this video because a
lot of it was just him interacting with
his cameraman or his friend at the cash
register for a painfully long time and
then another uncomfortable pseudo
interview but i'll let him take it out
here amazing shift i've worked with the
best team ever over here that's so hard
working and i generally didn't realize
how much of a big operation it is behind
me i thought you know it's kind of
flipping your burger here and there you
know doing christ but i've learned so
many incredible skills from just being
here for for the day i didn't cut out
any of the work he did because he didn't
do any he didn't do [ __ ] he did three
things he put two patties on a big mac
that reuben made and he dunked some
fries into the deep fat fryer and called
it a day oh actually and he also made of
mcflurry kind of but it was really the
person next to him that made it and he
just held it i can't imagine anyone
enjoyed having him around it wasn't
exactly like a really pleasant
experience for them i don't think i i
can't imagine they wanted to go into
work that day and be like interviewed or
have some hypebeast running around
yelling and screaming about how exciting
everything is even though it's very
clear it's just an act for the camera
so i just thought this was probably the
worst sponsored video i've ever seen and
just wanted to share it with all of you
that's about it so yeah
