German McDonald's Viral Edit
Move Your Lederhos'n

If you’ve ever seen a better German viral than this one for McDonald’s then please, send it to us at Trend Hunter!

The Huettengaudi is absolutely hilarious. The viral ad, which runs under the tagline “Move Your Lederhos’n,” lets you upload your own photo so you can become an animated, dancing, Lederhosen-wearing German. After framing your face, the site lets you either select from the pre-made dance moves or choreograph your own, selecting from traditional German moves, hip-hip or disco motions.

Those who choose to participate in Move Your Lederhos’n have a chance to become “Plaettler” of the week. Prizes include skis, snowboards, tobaggons and cell phones among other things.
