It was only a matter of time before someone seized the opportunity to ridicule McDonald’s new emoji-themed adverts.

The billboards started popping up across the UK last month, presenting a trip to the fast-food chain as the perfect solution to crises including dropping your phone down the toilet and, more controversially, your girlfriend spending too much on shoes.

But one of the adverts recommending McDonald’s after a lengthy struggle through roadworks has appeared with a difference in Bristol.

This was the original billboard design.

Good times, indeed.
