I’ll make you a ham­burger bet­ter than McDonald’s.” “Bet­ter than McDonalds??”

It may be hard for you to remem­ber back this far, but there was a time some­where between the inven­tion of the wheel and the elec­tion of George Bush the First when Eddie Mur­phy was funny. Really funny. Like — genius funny. Dur­ing that period he released two con­cert films. The sec­ond of these films, RAW, con­tained four of my favorite min­utes of McDonald’s related humour. Not so much because it was about McDonald’s, but because it was about an expe­ri­ence I think we’ve all had as a child when we ask our moth­ers to take us to McDix.

A bit of fore­warn­ing though — this clip does con­tain a mid-80’s Eddie Mur­phy level of pro­fan­ity (about the same I’d use in reg­u­lar con­ver­sa­tion), so it may not be safe for work, kids, or soc­cer mom’s with a heart con­di­tion. If you enjoy this clip, feel free to check out this other great moment from RAW that was included as part of fjetsam’s April Fools col­lec­tion.

McDonald’s Mon­days is a weekly series of posts writ­ten by our own Jim Squires that ini­tially appears on his pop cul­ture blog fjetsam.com.

    This is a great blog. I wish I had more time to read each post but my kids are rais­ing hell in the next room. I will be back later when I can devote some time. Thanks.
