  • In this McDonald's television commercial from circa 1990, an overprotective father unplugs his television to prevent his daughters from seeing Elvis Presley perform on the Ed Sullivan show. He blames the outage on a blackout, and takes his daughters and his wife to McDonald's instead. Although Ed Sullivan is mentioned by name, the commercial goes out of its way to avoid mentioning Elvis by name.

    Rescued from a garage sale VHS tape. Do you have old VHS tapes from the 1970s, 80s, or 90s? I'd love to digitize them, especially tapes containing commercials from that time period. Hit me up!

      It's 2024 and Elvis began in '54. He's still trending on social media often. Paul and John said there would be no Beatles without Elvis. This competition post was not necessary. May Elvis and two Beatles rest in peace.

I said these girls are too young for the highly sexual Presley (maybe that's why daddy intervened). They look like they would be more interested in hula hoops, malt shops, the Mickey Mouse Club and, yes, McDonald's.
