MAC AND ME (1988) - McDonald's dance number

[MrPhilosophicalpanda]

Did anyone else notice the only people not dancing were the ballerinas on the right?

[omichron420]

This is my childhood. I loved this movie.

[Ozymondias99]

Was this film shown on Mystery Science Theatre 3000?

[sapher2020]

Haha @ 2:09  the Jigg gets shoved out of the way!!!

[Junker281]

it would be weird to come into mcdonald's and see this happening!

[bijibadness]

the best things about this scene i didn't didnt take notice of at first:

- 1:00 - 1:10, the most effort anyone put any effort into for this WHOLE film. tight choreography..?

- conversely, the hilariously shitty "dancing" by the person in the teddy costume.

- THE DANCERS PERFORMING RIDICULOUS FLIPS IN THE BACKROUND. look out the windows, and at random spots you'll see some people performing acrobatics. 

[stvperry75]

Nowadays im sure this would be considered an attempted terrorist attack...somehow

[godzilla1077]

@stvperry75 LMAO



[torstn]

all these people here complaining and acting like they are "above" are the most pathetic people ever. you act like "oh they are having fun for no apparent reason" and "oh the 80s must have sucked"

yeah guess what the 80s is called the "fun decade" for a good reason.

its so easy to "see" the magic , and you even cant do THAT, youre anti-fun , youre anti 80s = you suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[yellowcougar18]

@torstn Umm... The 80's was known as the decade of dissappointment. I've never heard it called the fun decade, but if it was, good for them.

[torstn]

the weird looking alien kept me first from watching this- but after i tried - i really was surprised that it was one of the rare cases i really liked a movie (in more recent times)

recommended movie - especially love this scene+-

[wickedfeylady]

Jesus god, what was IN THOSE SHAMROCK SHAKES!?!?!?

[educatedcockroach]

the 80s were a very....different time. I get the feeling that most of those involved would rather forget it. cocaine's a hell of a drug.

[sillygrl23]

Why are they having a dance off in McDonalds again? o.o

[TEHL33MONESS]

I guess this is what my school counseler was talking about when she said retardation wasn't funny... I want those precious minutes of my life back.

[kingbrenty]

i particularly enjoyed the backflipping Mac as he made his way to the front counter.

[xXRackas321Xx]

This movie predicted the power rangers era of the 90s.

[CAITOSON]

This film was awesome. You guys who are complaining are retarted and have the shittiest sense of humor! Yes we americans atleast have something called humor!

[505mcasias]

Fuck you idiots who don't like this go pick up your ipods and jam to JZ you brainless fucks.

[TheNEWfilmfanatic99]

Its the midget from Don't Look Now in some sort of burlap sack

[NstyN8]

I bought this movie for $6.00 at Wal Mart. It's in my top 3 worst movies ever; that, Samurai Cop and Creating Rem Lezar.

[LTHanzScheisse]

was I just McRolld?

[JimmySand9]

I can't believe the Nostalgia Critic has never reviewed this.

[MrBennetzen]

Mac and Me won two Razzies:

Worst New Star: Ronald McDonald

&

Worst Director!

[darknut79]

This is the WEIRDEST mcdonalds commercial ever!!! Oh, wait, it's a movie scene. *ahem* This is one of the most BLATANT product placement scenes in a film, ever!!!

[MrBennetzen]

@darknut79 It is also a blatent ripoff of E.T.

[darknut79]

Oh wow, I forgot to include that in my comment... that's true though. This movie came out like a year after E.T.

[NotCaringJustRelaxin]

And this is why we won the cold war ladies and gentlemen!

[PorkchopCupcake]

If McDonald's made it mandatory for people to dance like this while eating at their restaurant, the obesity epidemic would hit a sharp decline. Because fat asses would either decide to stop going there and thus stop eating the shit food, or they'd be burning the fat off as they do Ballottés and mcHammer dances while scarfing a McGriddle. If they don't burn the fat off, they'll barf afterwards, which will be even more effective at reducing their weight.

[soothingTUNES]

I love this movie, was my fav when i was younger.

[spnogre]

how many mac and me was release?! only one or many more cuz i want buy them all cuz if there's one ill have to buy just one but if theres many like i said ill buy all in same time ;) thx for all

[tp5com]

....I want to kick my own ass for having watched all 2:33 of this......

[gloomyoutlook]

This is totally what happens everytime I go to McDonald's. 80s dance numberz roooooll!!!

[TheSayNoToDrugsGuy]

i wish that happened 24/7 in every mcdonalds lol

[OkayWhoBroughtTheDog]

Alien buttcheek at 1:35

[lilpr84]

mmmm thats good synth

[DarknapalmBeta]

you know its a kickass movie when theres an aline in a teddy suit dancing in the middle of macdonalds lol

[karakamen]

Creepy in a teletubbies kinda way

[addicted2you20]

i can't believe i used to like this film as a kid. sooo gay!!!

[Ellectrika1]

I used to love that film!!

[stevieVantanna]

that chick in the McDocnald's uni is Hott!

Does she do anything now?

[01hezekiah]

was that a joke indy ????

[Findfuckforgetit]

I for one have never wanted to do anything physical let alone dance after eating McDonalds.

[goddogcattac696]

An Alien child in a teddy bear costume dancing on the counter of a McDonalds restaurant whilst Ronald looks on............................­.........only Americans could make this film.

[JimmySand9]

@goddogcattac696 Only Americans in the 80s, that is. We know better now.

[Rodimus1]

Cocaine's a hell of a drug.

[MohanndasChutney]

The existence of this POS film is proof positive that McDonald's, Coca-Cola Co. and whoever in the hell makes Skittles are trying to destroy your mind, along with your body.

I'd like to kick that little alien right in his sesame seed buns.

[zing10101]

This is shocking

[gregmss]

You gotta love the shot of the crippled kid who can't join the dance

[jacksmommy0713]

I wish when I went to Mcdonald's everyone would break out into a cool dance number like that...

[Pharsphere]

Holy shit. I cant fucking believe I saw this piece of shit of a fucking faggot movie when I was younger. Fuck this shit. I love it.

[SBarsinister]

Was that the movie director I heard at 0:24?

[gregmss]

No, he'd probably just be laughing hysterically, that's what the mentals do

[Lambrechtsen]

WATCH OUT ITS FUCKING PEDOBEAR

[bubs848]

Best. dance. move. ever at :18

[cherr010]

When the alien gets on the counter and starts a dance solo....I lose it everytime. And even the people outside are dancing!!!

Man, this movie was really bad..

[feartag]

lmao this is why i have no respect for the 80s:D

[killthebusdriver]

having never seen this film, i have to ask- does this even make sense IN context?

[pestloser]

Nope.

[FutonForensic]

HMM, PRODUCT PLACEMENT MUCH?

I mean they have Ronald there and everything.

Though I guess having an empty dining area and dozens of people dancing doesn't really appeal to anyone looking for a simple fast-food joint.

[SAtunaboat]

The only thing that could make this scene any better is having Kevin Bacon jump in OOFN

[whatsauce]

Why didn't this win a Golden Globe?

[toxyc0slime]

because the golden globes were sponsored by burger king!

[icannotdothesmurf]

is that alien dressed as pedobear?

[wonpadilla]

I want this for my birthday! Yeah! No dancing football players though, maybe dancing chimps!

[orthanon89]

this happens all the time actually

[JoeChrisMorris]

Good old Mac. I love that little guy!

[hanniganau]

So this is what it was like in the 80's

[kriechers]

Yes, this is exactly what it felt like.

[HowieTheFink]

Man, I wish I could have walked in there as a kid to tell all of them to FUCK OFF!!! And I'd kick Ronald in the nuts.

[sweetbliss80]

Mcdonalds when it was kool lol

[eos1dmkiin]

I haven't seen this movie since I was a little kid. At the time, I LOVED THIS MOVIE! Now I find it more unbelievable than a stack of MJ12 documents.

[soundsfromnothing]

LOl...gotta love the scene. Guys, do you remember wearing the oversized shirts and tying your shoe strings behind your hi-tops? I liked the fact that those guys were just randomly locking outside the Mcdonalds to!

[jstrewth]

If that's a dance contest, then I'm George W. Bush (and thank God I'm not him).

[buddhastalin]

SUCK SATAN'S COCK!

[surfmaderia]

since when dies McDonalds do that for ur Bday??

[Jal8919536]

A young ten-year-old Nikki Cox can be seen as one of the dancers wearing a yellow shirt at 1:58. Cox starred in the "Badder" segment of Michael Jackson's "Moonwalker" and played Ryan White's sister, Andrea, in "The Ryan White Story" (1988).

[fusionman15]

Ironic film is based on a kid in a wheelchair and their is a 10 minute dance in Mcdonalds funny stuff

[namcoshinAkuma]

wtf

[spectergohan]

fucking.... god.

[jls7596]

and also i love how when the gov. car comes,the teens try to stop the gov. by the power of DANCE! YOU CANT STOP THE GROOOOVE!

[jls7596]

lol they should make a poop out of this "its some mama lugi that everybody thinks is just a pesky plumba!"

[bingefeller]

When I first saw this I thought it was a documentary.

[chrisgerrard]

classic film x

[artgirlb]

...they honestly expected us to think that thing could pass for a toy?

[MatthewLedZepfan]

lol this movie is hilarious - for all the wrong reasons.Its so bad that the person who grenlighted it must have been the owner of mcdonalds. i also think its ironic that they have a huge dance number when the main character is disabled.

[braden2]

Did yall see the Matt Leinart and Reggie Bush cameo?

[princy12]

its amazing how every 1 there is a pro dancer

[Aleister77newaccount]

they are cheerleaders...so it works. i love this movie so much. and i love mcdonald's for allowing the licensing.... <3

[queever]

I've been to a lot of mcdonald's, and Ronald was never at any of them.

[chronusvaltiel]

Holy shit, Pedobear's an alien?

[grazatt]

Is that a real bear cub?

[beerdrinker1988]

this video is very american

[kenjulie]

this is the most shameless piece of film since birth of a nation

[SOADafi]

this movie scarred my memory for life as a kid!

[jackh4eva]

What the hell?

[cockandballs69dicks]

i fucking hate this motherfucking piece of shit movie. its a fucking disgrace to the film industry. i want everyone single dickless motherfucker involved in the production of this movie to rot in the darkest, hottest depths of hell. im gonna go to best buy this weekend, buy this fucking piece of shit on dvd, take it home, burn it,and then piss on the motherfucking ashes. - fresh prince is the shit, respect to carlton p. banks nigga...

[Aleister77newaccount]

don't buy it...they will think people want it.

[AJM212006]

this never happens in mcdonalds

[sltrthesoul]

i wonder how crappy everyone felt after they were filmed in this movie. what a joke! this was a waste of a budget!

[ShinaMMA]

I feel like someone took the 1980's, wrapped it around a baseball bat, and just smashed me in the face with it. =P

[MissingNo11]

nice

[yasmina665]

did everyone else hear the man say "pick up the pace kathy" haha was that the choreographer?? what fucking idiots

[yasmina665]

what a shameless plug for mcdonalds

[celebpaws]

now I know where High School Musical 1 & 2 got it's moves from

[euseermide]

jesus H christ what the hell is this

[sltrthesoul]

thats funny! this movie sucked! i got conned into watching it at my aunts like when i was 9

[tamaroland]

I don't understand. Where's Julian Guillen?

[lakeviewviking]

for the love of God...let's forget the 80s never happened!!!

[jls7596]

LOL 00:18

[Jmodels]

the worst thing is that big brown shit dancin on the counter.

[almightyfargoth]

This is one of the greatest 80's stereotypes I've ever witnessed, white people congregating at a mcdonald's AND dancing montage style. THAT just doesn't happen anymore.

[shamrock118]

I almost died watching this clip from laughing so hard. It's just too corny. It's borderline retarded.

[kazoodee]

ET was original, but this is just a ripoff. i think that they decided that if they got a handicap kid instead of elliot that it would seem more heart warming or something, but it just seems like pure plagirism

[shamrock118]

I agree with you. This is one of the worst movies ever. I wanted to slit my rists when I first saw this. Instead I went to eat some food at Macdonalds. Pure propaganda on their part and they succeeded.

[tranquil87]

how did they succeed? this is one of the biggest fiasco in cinema ever

[lyzaya]

...um, what? O_O

[Tonezone]

Wow, some need to breathe and realize its just a movie. Get a fucking grip.

Also, is that Ashford and Simpson singing the song?

[JoeChrisMorris]

Gay!

[mdcrews]

Just keep this little guy dancing, the Feds'll just think he's a teddy! LOL!

[ShortyLongstrokin]

I can't believe I actually paid money to see this in the theater KNOWING full well how bad it was going to be. I guess I'm a glutton for punishment. This is probably the most retarded scene of any movie ever committed to a piece of celluloid.

[lurch321]

Don't feel so bad.......I actually paid money to see the awful "Ishtar" in the theater!

[yasmina665]

haha hey man don't dis ishtar it was a great movie

[JacksonHSR]

was that the director saying "keep up the pace" @ 00:24?

[kristenlisa]

i dont know what the problem is.... everytime i go to mcdonalds this is what happens... what kind of a dull un choreographed world do u all live in?

[ShortyLongstrokin]

I would gladly pay money to see a group like Improv Everywhere go into a McDonald's with the song from the clip and actually do the whole choreographed dance scene.

[TubeYouLerDude]

this movie used to be the shit along with ET back when I was little!

[jorgekluney]

This is terrible.

[dananbethany]

Okay, so where did the ballerinas and the football players come from...and then there's Ronald...and the choreography is all...man, I have a headache.

[aaallleeexxx62]

Best movie ever!

[papatoony]

What. The fuck. Was that.

[scdoyle81]

isn't it odd that mac is a good foot taller when he's in the bear suit?

[fivedaysatknifepoint]

I think i got my parents to rent this for me several times when I was a kid, but I really do not remember this part of the movie. I remember something about them driving in to the desert surrounded by wind turbines or was it solar panels. Anyway, what a god awful stupid movie.

[grazatt]

Was that a real bear cub?

[UnflinchedTesticle2]

dumb 80's cocks

[NepperCat]

This is the scene that the makers of the movie "Xanadu" watch to help themselves feel better about making such a shitty movie musical til this very day.

[enigma414]

Big Mac and ME

[beato123]

Who would've guessed that everyone in McDonalds would be a professional dancer?

[paintballguy127]

I remember seeing this when I was about four year olds and thinking "What the fuck is this?"

[indyandsam]

Surely this would actually put people OFF eating in McDonalds. Or at least cause a mass spate of people shitting on the floor

[broxboy86]

i had my 7th birthday at mcdonalds, thinkin it was gonna b like that, i shood hav fuckin sued for false advertising!

lookin back on that film, i see wot people mean when they said it was just 1 feature length commercial for macdonalds coke and skittles :D

still - full of childhood memories for me

[DecemberGirl]

lol that backflip outside the restaurant

[daintyfoxglove]

Who knew football players kept their game in top form by breakdancing at McDonald's?

[julloa]

Can someone tell me where this McDonald's is located? I've always wanted to do the running man every time I eat a McRib sandwich...

[teenagedethgurl]

LMAO!

[digitalshark]

The most hilarious part to me is the bit where the dancers get out of the way of the car and then resume dancing, while approaching the bad guys. They're going to drive them back with the raw unbridled enthusiasm of their fresh youthful dance moves! Is this the very first attempt at "You got Served"? If only they'd let that shot run just a little longer....

[ShortyLongstrokin]

I knew there was a reason McDonald's signs said "Over a billion SERVED."

[conroexlexx]

Stupid song. Stupid movie and LMAO to the football players dancing ( so gay ). And oh yeah, stupid FBI can't even catch the boy in the wheelchair with Mac lol

[RickyMA1988]

this makes me embrassed to have been born in '88

[joiless]

I've seen this movie only once, and thankfully it was long after 1988. And this scene confused the hell out of me. Was that the choreographer yelling commands off-camera?

[digitalshark]

I've wondered myself about that for a long time!

[digitalshark]

That was directed at the "invisible choreographer" observation. Is that supposed to be Ronald McDonald? We'll never know.

[xfightmenowx]

I'd be so pissed if I were ordering during this mayhem.

[pytko3]

I like this song. I believe it's called "Down to Earth" sung by Ashford and Simpson.

[lurch321]

.......and that sure is an ironic song title........this movie is anything but!

[MdP2]

"Okay, pick up the pace!" Oh man... I wish I could find a local McDonald's like that. That teddy-dressed Mac grew several inches on that counter and even the football players instantly learned how to dance. I wonder about those hamburgers' ingredients...

[Faunatik]

You're so right! I knew there were strange things in McDonald's food, but now this is getting really scary...

[ronnymc]

Sure dances like ol Joe Maggard! Must be him...hehe...

[KAFreshwater]

Stupid government. Can't even catch a kid in a wheelchair.

[RedPolarBearRanger]

To MysteriousAlien what about adding the Great Chase scene that takes place after this where Mitford, Wickett and the other goverment agents chase Eric and Mac through the streets and SEARS where Janet (Eric's mother) joins the chase and then Eric and Mac are saved by Debbie, Michael, and Courtney in the van?

[MysteriousAlien]

Good idea. I'll throw that up soon.

[tophatturkey]

Is that Joe Maggard as Ronald or someone else?

[ronnymc]

You have a great eye tophatturkey! Sure dances like Joe Maggard! Thanks for noticing!

[ronnymc]

sho can dance

[ronnymc]

I's Joe Maggard

[carchris]

OMG! This was my favorite scene! I rewinded this like 10000000 times...IN A ROW... I so wanted to be there!

OH btw that was the funniest shit that guy just said about comiting suicide! hilarious!!

[StonedLaughter]

Hey Mysterious, is there anyway you could send me the whole movie? i lost my old VHS copy of it when i was a lil tucker, and i must say i've been looking for it for ever, i can't find it anywhere. even to buy. please help me out.

[RedPolarBearRanger]

You can get this movie on Amazon and buy it there for a good price

[happy7117]

I don't get this scene!!

[siffil8]

this is the "plan 9 from outer space" of the 80's

[siffil8]

lmao

[metalmaniac1134]

thats actually the same dance i do when coming into mcdonalds

[elmojado21]

im gonna bust out with my C WALK next time i hit up mcdonalds!

[ReedsMama06]

lmao gotta love those hightops!!!!

[BigTMan1]

How many people committed suicide after watching this scene?

[cegoins25]

what's the name of this song?

[siffil8]

"Down to Earth" by Ashford & Simpson

[TransAMGTA1988]

Do you have this song????

[siffil8]

no i don't have this song

[pytko3]

Yeah, you won't find it on any Ashford & Simpson albums, I've looked. DRAG, huh?
