Watch This First: Jason Alexander for McDLT, 1985

by Jason Toon

Yesterday I showed you the unfunny skeleton in Jerry Seinfeld's closet. But that was only, at worst, the second-most embarrassing moment for a future Seinfeld star. Presenting the classic 1985 commercial featuring Jason Alexander hoofing and crooning in honor of the McDLT, complete with cuffed sleeves on his white sport coat and either a bad toupee or a haircut that looks like one. Alexander makes the most of this no-win situation, throwing himself into the performance with the same whole-hearted enthusiasm that George Costanza put into his elaborate lies.
