It should remind you of HR Pufnstuf. Sid and Mart Krofft successfully sued McDonalds for this ad campaign. McDonalds subsequently dropped the entire campaign.
@Nickswift18 Mayor McCheese was arrested for Cannibalism and Manslaughter. Sargent Joe Friday conclusively proved that the Mayor had indeed eaten his wife. As a result, Mayor McCheese lost the 1976 McDonald elections and spent the next 30 years in jail, never to be seen again in a McDonald's commercial.
@Rtkat3 Technically, everything in McDonald's land came out of a fiberglass mold, except the hamburgers that were eaten, they built a real kitchen to make those. Then they got sued by Sid and Marty Krofft.
this shit is pretty brutal, the fact that mcdonalds are specifically targeting children with their semi-poisonous tripe proves how cold hearted and ruthless those corporate big wigs really are
@briestoll I think the Cheeseburger people work the same way as chickens: If the egg isn't allowed to hatch it doesn't count, so the cheeseburgers mature at about 1-2 feet in height, and its totally okay to "abort them" before that lol that's just my theory. The burger babies not screaming or struggling is my evidence.
This vid went from magical to disturbing really quickly :O
Didn't realize Ronald was a weed head back in the day. Evidently he upgraded to speed for the current commercials. He seems off his uppity rocker now. This Ronald was laid back. Smoke, skip through McDonald land and feed the munchies.
I must've seen that commercial 500 times when I was a kid. Watched this for the first time since I was 12 with the sound off -- "surreal" pretty well covers it. D:
This was the era of the Ronald McDonald with the bright red Afro. I liked that guy better than his successors. Good times.
Apple pie trees, french fry bushes, hamburger patches, milkshake volcanoes, why everybody in mcdonaldland isn't obese is beyond me, there's fatty foods everywhere!
Shit... This is just creepy. Ronald looks like he had the munchies at 0.53. Oh btw McDonalds sucks ass. :P Good commercial though. Best one ive seen since Billy Mays died... :/ That man could advertise anything and make you feel like you needed it...
If Ronald hadn't been rushing them through McDonaldland, they might have noticed the Love Handle Patch and the Triple-Bypass Troll lurking beneath the bridge.
I never thought I'd find an advert more bizarre and genuinely disturbing than the banned kinder surprise advert. But once, again, youtube surprises me.
Stupid kids. Could've gotten that meal for free from the hamburger patch and the french-fry bushes right outside the McDonald's in McDonaldland but no, you had to go inside and pay for it.
Ah, the 70's... What a strange time it was to be alive... hippie music, french-fry bushes, and background-singing hambugers seem to go toeghter in a really trippy kinda way...
For a minute there, I was expecting Spinal Tap to jump in with "Listen to What the Flower People Say"...
I've lived in Taiwan for almost a decade and the advertising for McDs here is loaded with all their top actors, actresses and singers. The kids used to be nice and slim like their parents - now they are ballooning in size like those Native Americans in the Southwest. F McDs
Why would you go to a McDonald's in McDonaldland if you can eat everything for free growing off the trees and out of the ground? "No, mommy--I'd rather pay to sit and watch the pimpled slave labor mop the restroom."
Americans, look around you. You're fat and obese in huge numbers. Do you want cancer, heart disease and diabetes? No? Then stop eating at pig-slop diners like McDonald's and treat your bodies with quality food.
This company doesn't give a flying F about your health. All they want is your money. And if they get it by helping you get heart disease, cancer and diabetes, they're fine with that.
Actually the Krofts won the lawsuit, to the tune of $1,000,000.00, and McDonalds retooled its commercials accordingly. The lawsuit started in 1973 but was settled in 1977.
What haven't the Kroft brother's left their mark on? I'm just glad that McDonald's kept Birdie, Grimace, & Hamburgalar. Though getting rid of Mayor McCheese seems like a crime in itself.
Take a TRIP to McDonalds...? If I had a trip like that I'd need counselling of some sort. An advert for food which makes me feel physically sick is not a good thing.
does anyone wonder why generation X is warped? Everything that was a kids show/commercial in the 70s was like this. Although I now know why my uncle and his friends would watch tv with me when I was at grandma's house.
I loved it on the Married with Children TV show when Al Bundy called to complain about city services and asked who the mayor was...the person on the line said "Mayor McCheese." LOL!
wait a sec, you take a walk to McDonalds, and on your way, you pass lots of bags of fries, and hamburgers, and instead of taking it for free, you go into the god damn store to BUY it lol idiots (YES I KNOW THE COMMERCIAL ISN'T REAL!)
