@MrLazy27 I tell my nieces and nephews about how they had to make sure they picked the eyeballs off the burgers before they served them to anybody. Sometimes they forget an eye and sombody would end up with a cyclops burger.
I guess you could look at the animate trees and conclude there's a common thread there between McDonaldland and Living Island, but at least in present day terms, it's thin; nothing even close to grounds for a lawsuit.
I'm less convinced there was copyright infringement in this commercial. The biggest factor against the challenge by the owners of H R Pufnstuff is that, absent knowledge of H R Pufnstuff, it looks like a ripoff of the Wizard of Oz, with apple pie trees (the apple trees), hamburger patches (poppy field), and a yellow brick road. Mayor McCheese in other commercials does look like Pufnstuff though.
If you like the HR PufnStuf and the great stuff from 1970, you'll probably like listening to my bubblegum music radio show "Echo Valley". It's online, free and just for fun. I play music from this show and The Bugaloos and such almost every show! Google " echo valley bubblegum " and you'll find it! :)
@joshjhutton at the time this was filmed, these kids would go outside and play to burn it off. Not sit in front of the computer or tv playing video games I'm guessing
i pulled an all nighter thanks to weird arse old commercials. but now because of this one im not sure if im asleep or someone stuck drugs into my bubble gum. halp.
@MsGeek703 don't worry, you're not alone. I remember this commercial as a kid. Unfortunately, after working for McD's (76-83), the only thing I want to do with McDonaldland involves an A-10 and some napalm cannisters. Sorry if I offened anybody.
The advertising for McDonalds back in the day was amazing. To this day I still have a McDonalds toy store replica with little people and everything, the halloween tapes, and a lot of the old happy meal toys ya know the good ones that were actually toys not the current day shit
I'm a child of the 70's. This was how things looked back in the day. Course, my neighbourhood was rough. The trees used to beat me up. And the clowns were always chasing me! As for the McCrappy Meals? All we were given were a burnt piece of ground beef (?) and a stale French fry--without ketchup. To drink we'd be given old coffee. And the "toy" was something dumb like a rubber band or a piece of lint. Ah, the seventies. :-/
I somewhat recall these psychedelic McDonaldland commercialsw/ all the weird characters from when I was a kid, and very well remember the simpler ones of the '80s. They should bring these back.
Like of L. Frank Baum's Oz, Raddly Ann and Andy, and the Theif and the Cobbler to McDonald Land and Ronald McDonald! Amazing in my childhood, my boyhood!
What copyright infringement? I didn't see anyone in this commercial who even came close to resembling Jack Wild. Nor did I see any talking flutes. And dragons? Nary a won, unless you count Mayor McCheese draggin' his buns.
I loved H.R.P. as a kid. But the producers weren't exactly original with all their characters, either. For example, those talking trees were inspired by the talking trees from "Wizard of Oz". Sid and Marty owed credit for a lot of their creative whimsy to L. Frank Baum.
McDonald's should bring back this commercial. Course, this was back when a trip to McDonalds was something kids experienced once a week or so at most. Not like today where stupid parents take their kids every other day because they're too lazy to cook dinner! ...and they wonder why kids today are a bunch of fat asses!
If you play it backwards, its a clown saving children from an unhealthy prison while they are being attacked by food that is alive in a forest full of strange creatures.
This was a commercial that McDonalds made after consulting with Sid and Marty Croft about THEM making commercials for them, and then telling the Crofts they weren't interested...McDonalds got sued for stealing the Croft's ideas, and lost.
@MultiLostFan nah, they're fat because they drive everywhere - idiots think it's uncool, not fancy, to live in the cities so they drive a hundred miles in order to find a place they can live and be all hoyty toyty.
All the McDonalds characters were stolen from HR Pufnstuf. McDonalds lost a lawsuit against Sid & Marty Kroft and had to modify their characters a bit. I think they made some deal with S&M later.
See, this is what McDonald's was like when I was a kid: A groovy, far out fairyland of cheeseburgers, fries and shakes. Now the poor little bastards today get "Happy Meals" with a fucking apple slices pawned off on them. (Because a sliced raw apple MUST be healthier than a sliced cooked potato... Especially for the same price.)
That's too funny ! I remember this when I was a kid ! I was always fascinated by those little hamburgers popping up and down, and by the french fry patch..thanks for putting this up , when being a kid was fun..
What they don't tell you is about the blood and guts that gets spilled when they have to decapitate all those little screaming hamburger plants to serve the public for the next day.
it looks like a dream someone had after doing too much acid
