MWCB - "One Year Later"

Welcome to another edition of our Mid Week Commercial Break! Today, we bring you another classic that's even part of a larger series of McDonalds commercials from the 90s! A sequel to the 1993 commercial "The Showdown", Michael Jordan and Larry Bird continue their game of H-O-R-S-E one year later, even upping the winner's reward to two Big Macs! But this time, another player wants in on the action and it's none other than Charles Barkley. But even though he repeatedly asks to play (he even dressed up as a cowboy), MJ and Bird keep refusing with an annoyed "No!".

In the "One Year Later" commercial, they continue their game in the Grand Canyon, at Mount Rushmore, in a submarine and from outer space, and Barkley, who still has hopes of playing, follows them everywhere. But since Jordan and Bird keep scoring, there's just no end to the game. What else would you expect from these two?

Fun Fact: As you'd expect from a true 90s commercial, the ad even had its own promo cards set from Upper Deck with 15 different cards to collect! Have a look at the set here:

There's also a Family Guy parody of the ad, which we do not want to withhold from you! Peter Griffin seems to be a true natural when it comes to playing H-O-R-S-E.
