The Leo Burnett 'Best Fries on the Planet' Campaign is Hilarious

— November 20, 2011 — Lifestyle
The Leo Burnett 'Best Fries on the Planet' campaign for MOCNI (McDonald’s Owners of Chicago and Northwest Indiana) is a campaign to promote the widely held belief that McDonald’s french fries are the best fries on the planet.

This commercial is one aspect of the campaign. It features a young boy fishing patiently with his grandpa. The boy then decides that a fry on the end of his rod will be enough to catch the big one, and as he casts the line into the water, a slew of people come rushing in. Those on bikes, businessmen and everyone in between all seem to be drawn to the sweet-smelling taste of McDonald's fries.

The Leo Burnett 'Best Fries on the Planet' campaign has received very positive reviews in publications and the Twitter-sphere.
