[JubeProductions]

man...a slap happy grimace sticker on my chrome bike fender would be the best.

[TheRoadRunnerCoyote]

This video features a shorter version of the evil Grimace.

[menschlichetragodie]

Commercial #2: Its really creepy that Ronald leads the little girl off stage right by her hand, and leaves the little boy at left...

[NoLifeInsight]

"children should be seen and not heard" ? LOL I almost didn't catch that. Or did they say "hurt"? Imma choose to believe the former.

[toping767]

@NoLifeInsight he said hurt, i had to replay that scene

[westerfieldjamie89]

[eastbatonrougeg]

This old

[dkkddefef]

so cheap , but thanx for you work , absoluty insane today

[ultragor]

Can someone solve a mystery; I'm almost certain McDonalds also gave out cuffs like the ones shown for Halloween, but they were shiny RED, for Christmas time. Am I wrong, or did they really exist??

[MsPandaRosa]

@ultragor

Could have been a local thing? I don't remember the cuffs at all, but then, I was just a kid.

I do remember the "mail them a hamburger" one, good ol' silly! Amazing to think fifty cents was a big deal way back when.

[ultragor]

@MsPandaRosa Maybe; all I remember is those shiny red Christmas cuffs, if they really existed, were the PRETTIEST things during the holidays and I would "KILL" to see them in real life today!

[powergirlttyu]

anybody else think ronald kinda a creepy???

[Bman8873]

first he says: whoever you get these to can buy hamburgers, french fries , or cokes or any mcdonalds good food. then he says: "which is not a good idea".

[rchassereau]

@Bman8873 At around 3:24, I listened for it, but it sounds more like he says, "Isn't that a good idea". Which rhetorically means the opposite.

[GuitarSamurai62]

Jodie Foster was one of the kids in an early McDonaldland commercial

[zR750gUY]

Back then it was a rare treat to go to Mcdonalds.....maybe once a month......I enjoyed it alot more then.

[DackupDoo]

@zR750gUY You are exactly right. I don't ever recall having "Micky D's" more than once every three or four weeks at the least. No way was it ever a more than once a week thing. And back then, I seem to remember it tasting MUCH better in general.

[Leftysfive93]

@zR750gUY It was a big deal when I got to to my cousin's birthday party at McDonald's.

[schroeder8911]

I saw those same waste baskets at a XXX video arcade. They didn't look so happy.

[TheAquadonna]

@outbackmick7000 Hey Mick, how much acid does one do to get them garbage cans to talk and dance?

[seanpdineen]

I remember those. Better days

[missxbox360isthebest]

[DAL2282]

[MitcheruUSA62]

[brizabonskee]

Of course McDonald's would be there to teach kids not to recycle paper. How evil.

And safety cup cuffs? WTF?

[xaviorbat]

[NickolozMcCool]
