Late 1960s McDonalds Commercials Part 1

[paigesidebottom1]

5:29 does that girl have a nose bleed and 5:42 have a black eye?! did they beat these kids to say good things!?

[Swotoful]

"Roast beef on a roll"

What a creative name

[thebearjewkiller1976]

funny how back in the day they had such a better array of foods and now its just shit and is put together cheaply and most of the time the customer service is so pathetic your just better off staying home and eating a can of spam

[shaftyfingers]

stuff makes you die

[49jubilee]

back then, the food didnt' make the kids FAT like today--the went outside and played after chores instead of video games and no sun

[ProjectM555]

My mom was so cheap we didn't get to eat at McDonalds. Only at Taco Bell. We were only able to get one 19 cent item.

[SalemMoonlight]

2:14 GIANT YELLOW PENIS

[JxT1957]

mcdonalds fried chicken? o.o

[Madowstone]

Where is Captain Spaulding?

[rettaman]

What an incredible array of McD's commercials from the mid-to-late 60's! I never knew that McDonald's used to serve both roast beef AND fried chicken! I knew that Hardee's used to. Also, these commercials almost make life seem more innocent and guilt-free back then too.

[bebibroly5]

They abused the transitions there close to the end

[patsaxon]

The original Big Mac is not as today's Big Mac.

[at90percent]

Those little kids are my age. No wonder there's a McDonald's practically on every corner now. That was some heavy duty advertising.

[Pointblankmos]

He kidnapped the child in the sack.

[pancakeboi1]

FRAAASH? LETTUCE @ 3:27  WTF????

[i2icontact]

oh brother........



[destroymyEpets]

WHAT A BUNCH OF FATTIES XD

[LomeSounds]

5:55 Justin Bieber

[zR750gUY]

It's funny .. they don't mention the unsanitary conditions and poor service in these commercials.

[travelsonic]

@zR750gUY

Because this was the 60s, where it wasn't as prevalent.

[Winonarydertube]

someone told me that the founder of McDonald's was a Satanist.. so does Satan want people to be overweight?

[plantain007]

mcdonald used to have fried chicken!!?!!!!!????

[simwrangler]

They should sell that roast beef sandwitch instead of that nasty McRib

[rocknrollhoocheecoo]

Shit..Why don't those knuckle heads at Mc Donalds roll these out again? Don't make me take off my belt!!!

[Willisman1]

Gonna get me a Big Mac!...see ya's later...I'll be right back

[loki1397]

In the second commercial at 1:07, that man who says 'hamburgers' looks like Jimmy Fallon's side-kick, and announcer on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Sorry i can't remember his name.

[TheFunnyguy9000]

the burger looks messed up

[1452spunky]

McDonalds Dosen't even toast the buns anymore

[xxxxd1516]

Ronald abductes kids

[greasyhillabillys]

5:48 that child is possessed!!!!!!!

[DanikaJadeee]

I love how the food actually looked like homemade food, haha. And did they actually seat you and serve you your food back then?

[peugteobike]

on payday im going there order me 5 spicy mcChickens

[toping767]

That ''fight promoter" kid got punched by ronald mcdonald for not cooperating.

[vcpbear]

McDonald's Chicken? How bout that subtle racism? LOL!!!

.

[MRJZZTV]

Ronald McRapist

[SuperRocky654321]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hh



[Bytoria]

Ok! go and freeze at 5:48 theres one scary kid! and then u can find justin bieber at 5:55 !!

[APocketOfTime]

They used to toast the buns?

[xReventonx]

Notice how the kids aren't fat ? fast forward when these kids are in their 40's and their all fat asses...

[LogoMan8888]

@xReventonx This was back before video games, when kids actually went outside.

[flatebroke09]

I could swear that lady in commercial #2 is alley Mills, the mom from the Wonder Years...

[EdWatts]

Commercial #5:

My goodness! How did those poor people survive, driving all of the way to McDonald's without seat belts?

[jibjab351]

It might have been good wholesome stuff back in 1968, but now it is like eating dogshit.

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

@jibjab351

"We could never recreate the old days. I'd rather be remembered for the way we were 30 years ago." - Benny Andersson of ABBA.

[janeblow80]

Was this when America didn't place so many preservatives in the food? Was that real chicken? Roast BEEF? wow And what was wrong with that mans eye? #5

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

I can't complain too much about the quality of all this stuff from then versus now, since I was only born in 1981.

[gyqz]

Ronald is lovin' it...especially little people!!!

[YuGiProGamer]

5:40 Demon Eye Kid???

[ToughSerb147]

this is when the westerns started to become stupid, serbia and yugoslavia still lives

[DubiousDragon]

That looks like Adam "Batman" West introducing the Big Mac.

[TheYaom]

Fast forward 4 decades later.... and your average mcdonalds customer is not a cheerful obediente white kid but an angry obese ghetto woman ready to beat you up if her double cheese whopper is not ready in less than five seconds!!!

[Kackthy]

Ah, back in the day when all announcers smoked 3 packs a day.

[AmericanProtestor97]

haahaa ughh hey beavis, ugh ughh.... this is cool.., ughh ugh

[115386acer]

2:51 ronald kidnaped a kid in a bag O_O

[chris671]

They used to not using gloves?!!! EEEEW!!!

[artisto702]

but the kids like the "DARK" meat! lol

[SuperShitster]

2:57 pedo much?

[aplledapplebees2]

5:40 Holy Shit! What the fuck is that?!?!

[timpriddy73]

2:48 TRIPLE DICK

[Fellasluvme2]

Ummm...What's going with the kid at 5:41 ? And is that a black eye?!!

[ZombifyIt]

huh? I never heard of dark meat chicken..

[goohgulliscia]

In the 60s McDoos was a place you went to--from time to time--not every other day or even weekly. Now its the main diet for millions. In the 60s their food wasnt loaded with MSG, partially hydrogenated fats, and aspartame in so-called 'diet' sodas and high fructose sugars in the soda pop.

[ThePSNinja]

I would kill to live in the 50's

[stoweVT7170]

@ThePSNinja what happened to this country...what the hell happened, but i too would love to have lived back then.

[allievawanted]

@ThePSNinja douche



[1957pinup]

McDonald's used to be a fun, family place....now it's nothing but a thug hangout where various minorities like to cause trouble.

[swaugertim]

@1957pinup maybe the mcdonald's you go to is a thug hangout. many of the others are respectable establishments. it does depend on where you go.

[Sheri451]

I don't remember McDonalds ever selling roast beef sandwiches or fried chilcken.

[MrsClippit]

@Sheri451 They were only released in some markets because of falling profits.

[Sheri451]

@MrsClippit My Mom says they sold the chicken here, but if this was 1967, I was only four, so I don't remember.

[BMAN294]

4:43 - No Gloves? awesome

[Freezer818]

Parental permission? Seat belts? Screw that noise; it's the Sixties!

[angelcakebby24]

Ronald looks creepy

[TehSonicGuy101]

ronald looks like a penis

[Nordix13]

ronald looks like a dick

[Qweecie]

McDonald's is still great ! I love scarfing down the odd Big Mac now then .. ;)

[miamivicepastels83]

@nockuout1 :-|

[sora956]

Ronald McDonald looks like a penis. Creepy!

[schlagerboy]

@sora956 Ronald really knows how to work a pair of scrotum pants!

[chris671]

@schlagerboy I agree but if you look closely its like balls on his side and he's the penis clown! bwahahhahahahahaha!

[shortyblackwellll]

Ahhhhh! Scary ass clown!

[WizardOfChicamunga]

REGARDING THE BOY WITH THE BLACK EYE--- I guess some of you aren't old enough to remember when they advertised cigarettes on television. But back then there was a commercial for Tareyton cigarettes and their slogan, "I'd rather fight than switch" was in every commercial. The actor, whether male or female would always be sporting a black eye.

[gre36789]

Ronald McDonald is a good disguise for a psychopathic killer. He could drop by and give you a mcstrangle.

[grundlehunter]

damn, old mcdonalds food looks so much more appetizing, especially the old school big mac

[Zyworski]

I never recall having seen any of these commercials, they must have been used in limited markets.

[aaronzack14]

THIS ISN'T Real, the kids are not fat asses

[uhavemooface]

Doesn't one of the kids look like he got hit in the eye at 541? Look at that someone hit him before he did the commercial how sad.

[max8987]

@uhavemooface

actually i think it's just the terrible video quality. the kid before looks like his nose is bleeding, and check out at 5:47 the "black" eye opens up and you can see he can open it up just fine. Usually with a black eye it would still be apparent... i dunno i think its the mc donalds french fries they filmed this commercial with

[uhavemooface]

Those Mcdonalds fries can last for weeks and weeks when the other fries can only last for a few days.

[IAmTheEvilMonkey]

They should still use the one where the guy shows and describes how a Big Mac is built, it made me really want a Big Mac. The commercial immediately after it is creepy and needs to stay 5,000 feet away from schools and playgrounds.

[Boomies559]

my grandfather cdnt eat at mcdonalds back then since he was black

[HomeSkillet489]

@Boomies559 you couldn't get in if you were black

[Boomies559]

@HomeSkillet489 yea thats what i said lol

[HomeSkillet489]

@Boomies559 when was he able to get in2 mickey d's then?

[Planetcaravan56]

Clown shit !

[rhatcher010]

Fuck, that Hamburger Clown is scary.

[OroborusFMA]

Ironic how thin these people are. Of course in 1968 most families could live on one income, so people didn't go out to eat except on a special occasion.

[DJandManaphy]

Notice at around 2:18 Ronald looks like a human dick....His baggy pants are like the balls.

[keto6789]

... and a nation of obesity was started ....

[fromthesidelines]

The house in the fifth commercial is VERY familiar, as that was filmed on the "suburban block" backlot of the "Columbia Ranch" {now the "Warner Ranch"}, where exteriors of virtually all Screen Gems/Columbia sitcoms were filmed from the '50s through the '70s. The house was originally the "Bumstead" residence in Columbia's "Blondie" movies from 1938 through '50; then, the "Anderson" house on "FATHER KNOWS BEST" in the '50s; and "Tony Nelson's" home on "I DREAM OF JEANNIE" in the '60s.

[erniebaud]

In the third commercial in this collection, Ronald McDonald is played by Chicago kids show host, Ray Rayner.

[CounterBlock]

0:09 Where did the restaurant go?

[TehUltimateSnake]

9:15 arm twitch

[mstcrow5429]

Is Vincent Price narrating the first ad?

[losalisosboy7]

Arby's was where it was at

[farnumbp]

In some ways, Mcdonald's food was healthier back then . Fewer artificial chemicals , fries not cooked in synthetic oils

[tedmerr]

@farnumbp indeed. Today I'd eat rat poison before eating McDonalds frankenfood

[Nonniegirl4Ever]

For a generation Xer like me, this is like watching a history lesson! LOL!

[rcatstott]

woh how old is mcdonalds? o.o

[francis43123]

@rcatstott McDonald's Was Founded In 1955, So It Would Make McDonald's 56 Years Old. 2005 Was McDonald's 50th Anniversary

[tapatioh]

Wish mcdonals to be like those old commercials, now it taste crappy, the meat is not 100 % meat ;s

[seanki98]

@tapatioh it probably is, but the meat is 100% inhumane and the cows killed in there own poo ;-)

[tapatioh]

2:09 the first ronald mcdonald that looks like todays ronald :) the first one looked like a hobbo:)

[EskaeDaStreetGeek]

3:12 whoa dude check out that crazy intense music, i want one of those rad smbitches right now

[moondoogle]

Mmmmm...segregated chicken...

[RobDog65]

@moondoogle Nononono...you mean "mechanically separated chicken".

[dailygrime1]

@RobDog65 youve never noticed they have black chicken nuggets and white ones seperated on the menu?

[wahoo76]

No, that's not the Willard Scott portrayal of Ronald McDonald. Some other clown.

Olan Soule is the voice of the man introducing the Big Mac (although it's a different guy on camera.) Soule voiced the early animated Batman on TV (i.e. Filmation's version and Hanna-Barbera's Super Friends).

[SteveCarras]

@wahoo76

And was Batman on radio! That was a worthy job unlike the cartoons! :)

[DJMYSTERYMANMUSIC]

wow

[JonasPolsky]

Why were the actors in these commercials so old?

I guess all the young people were off dying in Vietnam.

[DaveT62]

@4:37.....WAITERS at McDonald's????

[HomeSkillet489]

the man is so psyched over getting a hamburger and his wife is all like, "FRIED CHICKEN OR BUST BITCH!!!"

[TheAquadonna]

Got a better name for fast food that serves roast beef.....ARBY'S. LOLOL Chicken ....KFC. Ronald's Pedphilia habit........Shocks are all blown on that statiowagon!

[supersonicbros23]

4:54 That cars got all 4 flats

[ClaudioSL619]

in the 60s was the big mac like BIG mac. now it is just a mac -.- 3:47

[supersonicbros23]

@ClaudioSL619 and if you watch mlp now its big macINTOSH (badum pah!)

[joe1969812]

I went to Burger kin....hold on somebodys at the door.

[Dunes]

That one commercial spot..waitaminute,Mcdonald's had...fried chicken once back then? Well,I remember when they had pizza once years ago. Weird though.

[s0caltrukker]

[parkesc21]

[francis43123]

@cullotte3 If You Listen Carefully When The Bleeps Censored Her Words You Hear "Ing" And Since It's Two Beeps, Guess What She Said? Burger King.

[VengeanceIsMine79]

Ronald McDonald is a secret satanic clown setup by the ZIONIST NEW WORLD ORDER ELITES...Ronnie has sharp razor like teeth much like the Mogwai...You can hear him mumble "here you go my little goyim sheep, now get sick, fat, and dumb, so I can rape your country's wealth and send your jobs overseas. Now be my slave. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!"

[cullotte3]

they are not soggy and limp fries like at beep beep. hey can anyone find the uncensored version of that because I really want to know what francise that girl said.

[mkbell2003]

McDonald's is your king of place

They serve you rattlesnakes

French fries between toes

Hamburgers up your nose

The last time i went there

They stole my underwear!

McDonald's is your kind of place!

[mAnUelMasSaCre]

[mkbell2003]

[lousteven]

@aphfangirlwashere i think its just snot

[MsSuzyQ88]

I haven't eaten @ McDonald's in 1 year.

Give me A&W, Sonic, or Steak N' Shake any day!

[PurpBeatz]

i rather eat burger king

[kdrcampbell]

Wow, upscale Mad Men dads with pocket puffs and stylish blazers hit McD's back in the day. Who knew.

[pinkmeatball21]

wtf did he or she said 5:36

[0816brandon]

Mcdonald's never had fried chicken before! Or a sandwich with BBQ sauce for fathers day !

[APocketOfTime]

McDonalds made fried chicken? O.o Hmm... I guess it didn't do very well since they don't have it on the menu anymore.

[mikper7]

4:21-Three boys jump into the rear facing third row seat of a 1960's station wagon and completely ignore any safety restraints that may or may not be present, while a gigantic plate glass rear windshield faces them as Dad drives off. (On the ride, they were probably doing somersaults and slapping the shit out of each other).

Some say the world used to be a safer place...I beg to differ.

[tomservo56954]

@mikper7  There wouldn't have been seat belts in the read seats of that 1965 Ford--but the back window was safety glass, like all cars had for decades.

[MrAdvance2go]

since these ads, McDonald's have served food to billions and heart disease to millions.

[lousteven]

@MrAdvance2go u dont like it , dont eat it ... u got a gun to your head? america is the only country where people have to be protected from their own stupidity

[MrAdvance2go]

You need protection then!

[lousteven]

@MrAdvance2go fuckin dooshbag 

[MrAdvance2go]

@lousteven  How original!

[frandsenphilip1]

@lousteven The ONLY country "where people have to be protected from their own stupidity?" You might want to check out laws in other countries.

[KingTMD]

I thought it was funny he was showing how to make a big mac, But he forgot the onions.

[sarahnritchie]

lol cheddar BLEND cheese
