McDonalds had commissioned Sid and Marty Kroft to design characters for their new marketing campaign aimed at kids, but then McDonalds changed their minds. Soon after, they came out with this commercial, which was a blatant rip off of Sd and Marty Kroft shows like "H.R. Pufnstuf" and "Sigmund and the Sea Monsters."
I bet if John Hinckley has computer privileges in his cell he has this post favorited. (For younger viewers, Hinckley was the guy who shot President Reagan in the early '80s. It was alleged that he did it to impress Jodie Foster, who he had a massive crush on.)
ok so Grimaces first name is Evil? The begining of the commercial it refers to him as the Evil Grimace, then Ronald addresses him as E. Grimace when he hands him his mail. So the origin of Grimace was he was evil. Also notice that he has two extra arms on the bottom holding milkshake cups. So the original grimmace had four arms.
what the hell? Grimmace was evil?? my world is spinning out of control. but yes. I had a crush on Jodie Foster when I was a little kid after seeing her in Tom Sawyer. heh
According to Bernie Koppel, who was in Get Smart, as well as The Love Boat, Ronald McDonald is the guy who played Schtarker, the KAOS Henchman (King Moody), Hymie the Robot was played by Dick Gaultier, who later played Robin Hood in Mel Brooks' When Things Were Rotten.

You don't see Grimace any more because he died of trans-fat induced heart disease.
