MWCB - "One Year Later"

Welcome to a new edition of our Mid Week Commercial Break! Today we're presenting another classic that's even part of a larger series of McDonald's commercials from the 90s! As a sequel to the commercial "The Showdown" from 1993, Michael Jordan and Larry Bird continue their game of H-O-R-S-E a year later and even increase the winner's reward to two Big Macs! But this time, another player wants to join in, and it's none other than Charles Barkley! But although he repeatedly asks to play (he even dressed up as a cowboy especially for it), MJ and Bird always refuse with an annoyed "No!"

In the commercial "One Year Later", basketball is played in the Grand Canyon, at Mount Rushmore, in a submarine and even from space, and Barkley, still hoping to be allowed to play, follows them everywhere. But since Jordan and Bird keep scoring, the game simply never ends. But what else would you expect from these two?

Fun Fact: As befits a true 90s commercial, there was even a dedicated promo card set from Upper Deck with 15 different cards to collect! Here you can see all the cards at a glance:

There's also a Family Guy parody of the commercial, which of course we don't want to withhold from you! Peter Griffin seems to be a natural talent when it comes to H-O-R-S-E.
