While studying in Chicago, McKay attended his first film shoot-for the 1989 comedy Uncle Buck.[1]

McKay created and voiced the series' first end title sequence.[1]

In 2006, McKay started work on animated series Moral Orel for Adult Swim. whose creator Dino Stamatopoulos once said to him that he "really deserve[d] a producer credit" on the series, on which McKay replied that he would "really like to do is direct." So in the second season of the series, Dino let him direct more than half episodes out of twenty episodes and also from the third season.[1]

His work on Moral Orel impressed Matt and Seth, who offered him to direct Robot Chicken and in 2007, McKay directed the third, fourth, and the fifth seasons of the series, aired on Adult Swim.[1][5]

In 2007, McKay worked as editor and visual effect artist on the special episode Star Wars with Seth, which aired on June 17, 2007.

In 2010, McKay directed and co-produced the final installment of the special episodes, Star Wars Episode III.[1]

In 2009, McKay co-produced and directed the complete first season of the animated sci-fi adventure series Titan Maximum on Cartoon Network.[1][2]

In March 2014, Warner Bros. set McKay to direct the sequel to the 2014 hit The Lego Movie, which Lord and Miller would produce, and Michelle Morgan and Jared Stern would write.[6] On October 10, WB announced the spin-off film The Lego Batman Movie, pushing back The Lego Movie Sequel and fast-tracking development. McKay directed The Lego Batman Movie, which was released on February 10, 2017.[7] Seth Grahame-Smith co-wrote the screenplay, while Will Arnett reprised the voice of Batman.[7]
