McShwarma
McDonald's in Israel is airing this commercial for their new McShwarma. It's a hilarious parody of Pulp Fiction. Enjoy!

(By the way, I can't catch the last line. I think it's in Hebrew. If anyone can translate it for me, I'd be much obliged. Via An Unsealed Room.)
Comments:
This is priceless. A few questions and comments:

1.) As I said, this is great, but Pulp Fiction happened quite some time ago if I'm not mistaken. Kind of odd.

2.) Best line: "Yeah, but they don't say please in Israel."

3.) The actors' resemblance to the movie stars is uncanny. Especially the voices. It's kinda crazy.

4.) I couldn't quite catch the Hebrew at the end, either. I think, possibly, the guy says, "Ma Ani Kashur?" Which may or may not be a pun, since this could mean both "What do I have to do with it" and "Why am I tied up?" Still kinda random.
 
Ralphie:
1) I think the tie-in to Pulp Fiction is that the scene that they are parodying is one in which they are discussing what a Quarter Pounder is called in France.
2) Yes.
3) Really incredible impersonations.
4) Thanks. My Hebrew is orders of magnitudes too weak to know either phrase.
 
Bean: that scene is seared - seared on my memory. But it's still not exactly current events. But then, neither is the fact that many in Israel enjoy Shwarma, and it looks like they're just getting around to that as well...
