For the longest time, I wasn't sure why I associated nightlife with a sunglassed moon-head. Then I came upon this video, and I was instantly transported back to the mid-80's, when my 4-year-old self saw these commercials and first got the idea that a nightlife actually existed after I went to bed. It was a surreal revelation to watch this again.
i dunno why this mascot was so disliked . . . i can't help but like the idea of mc'd's open late into the night when i've got the munchies and this guy singing away over the big city . . . i dunno. weird? maybe. screw it. it's mac tonight.
@MusicMan32K, I have or more correctly my family has a "Mac Tonight" figurine @ my mom's on a shelf! She got it and put it on one of our Birthday Cake's because me and my brother used to sing the song all the time!
these (except for the last one) bring back early childhood memories. I called Mac Tonight, Mr. DaMoon. (I was only anywhere from 3-5 years old at the time)
thanks for the upload. this brings back memories of my childhood, when i'd watch "monsters" and "friday the 13th the series." this always takes me back to my childhood when the responsiblity i had was playing with optimus prime
everytime i see stuff like this it makes me want to go back to when i was a kid. i remember this coming on saturday nights and watching tv....memories,,,
yooTHIS WAS MY FAVORITE TOY BACK IN THE DAY AT MICKEY DEEZ LOLL BUT NOW ADAYS THAT I THINK ABOUT IT HE IZ KINDA WEIRD LOL MY MAN MAC TONIGHT LLOLOL MOONN MAN MOON FACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There was another Mac Tonight commercial from the 80s.
Mac was standing on a rooftop, leaning against the side of a big neon McD's sign.
He was playing a harmonica, the Mac the Knife song; no other background music. He stopped, and this time he just spoke - no singing. He plugged a special offer from McD's, and when finished, he grabbed the harmonica again from out of the air - and took up playing the melody again.
does anyone see the irony in this? the song is a parody of "mac the knife" written by brecht who was a marxist playright. oh what a post modern dilemma
For some reason, every time I watch this it gives me a warm and happy feeling inside. They bring me back to my childhood when the only thing I knew about growing up was that I was going to be a ghostbuster!!
mac tonight use to be in a mcdonalds restaurant i used to go to. it was a robot that played the piano and piano sounds would come out of it. but he got replaced by a lion.
anyone else find this moonhead really freakin creepy?
