Do not Pass Go. Do Not Collect $200

I've come out of semi-retirement to post this. Aside from the jabbing with LeBron at the fact that he'll never be as good as Jordan, this commercial fails on all levels. For the most part, this commercial would be a lot more believable with just a simple fix: switch the prizes Lebron and Stacy win. Are you telling me that Stacy here just won a million dollars and that's her reaction? Wouldn't you think she would be a little more excited about winning a million dollars (especially considering if she won a million dollars she could meet her girlfriends at a nicer place for lunch than McDonald's)? And conversely there's LeBron, a millionaire who we're supposed to believe would be excited about winning a free order of fries. Even worse, he looks around with a goofy "i haven't been this pleased with myself since that solitary time I made a clutch shot in the playoffs" look.

You switch their reactions and it's absolutely perfect. Stacy realizes she's won.....FREE FRIES! "AYYYYYAYAYA I can cash this in next time I eat here for lunch and save some money since the only possible explanation I meet my friends at McDonald's for lunch is because I'm completely broke!" Then we cut to LeBron who realizes "ha, I won a million dollars right now! Just figures because I think I'm about 200x cooler than anyone else on the planet thinks." Then he looks around with a wry look on his face thinking how much better he is than everyone else.

Wait, maybe LeBron would be excited about winning fries. I think at this point LeBron is probably excited to win anything. Oh and if LeBron ever actually eats McDonald's he TOTALLY goes by himself and then sits down and eats it right there.

Sidenote: When I first saw the asterisk on the claim that "1 in 4* wins," I thought they were referencing to the fact that for 5 years the monopoly game was rigged.
