| ‘I was in the pool!’ Remember that? That was funny. |
This ancient ad for McDonald’s failed product roll-out of the McD.L.T. features a young and spry Jason Alexander. In the song if this is Alexander really singing it’s a bit of a surprise to hear a competent singing voice coming out of Jerry’s screaming sidekick. And watch how cat-like he is when he jumps into frame.
Aside from it being made of NastyMeat®, the McD.L.T. required an abominable amount of Styrofoam to keep the hot things hot and the cool things cool. While a good idea in theory, having to assemble a burger flies in the face of the entire concept of fast food. Why not give me two separate cups, one with ice, and one with liquid and have me mix them together you jackasses. What am I, a machine?

Great site, but just wondering if you were aware that Jason Alexander has been singing on Broadway for longer then he’s been on TV. Check out The Producers sometime, it’s pretty good. ;)
The commercial itself though, is definitely fairly tacky.

No, but I did no research at all on the subject. I’ve heard the Producers was excellent, I didn’t realize he was in that performance.

Jason Alexander was also in TV movie version of “Bye Bye Birdie.” The man really can dance and sing.
