1980's McDonalds Christmas Ice Skating Commercial

[TimeBreaker1987]

This has more christmas in it than my past month.

[stargazer637]

thats so sweet i remember this so cute

[studentka41]

odd

[jimtews]

That little blonde boy grew up to be none other than Johnny Weir. True story.

[chaksheba]

@jimtews Thats just wrong lol

[brain1957]

Why don't they show these during the holidays?

[DateWithFred]

WOW now who wouldnt want to eat a happy meal after that warm and fuzz commercial

[Moonstone2732]

I never use to like Roald McDonald, but whenever I saw this commercial it gave me a warm fuzzy feeling:)

[TheAdrock82]

This is one of my favorite Christmas commercials of all time :-) Makes me so happy to see, such amazing memories

[joemama223]

watch the kids face between 0:37 and 0:42, looks like he has a scared face like hes gonna get kidnapped then raped.

[yarekhunt]

I got all emo even as a kid when I saw this

[gkw1982]

Thanks for posting this, it takes me back to my childhood. We had a copy of the Rudolph movie we taped off of TV and this commercial was on there.

[buttonguy76]

i think ronald mcdonald was the only clown kids weren't afraid of

[jdawg1692]

@buttonguy76 I was and still am afraid of him.

[mlrichardson84]

Wow, this takes me back.  I think I was about 6 when it came out.

[orlydum]

After they finished shooting the commercial they made a burger out of that sketched deer, right?

[illinifan512]

@orlydum that's original. why don't you stop hating on people's memories?

[MrSpiritualawakening]

I remember this commercial as well,and it was a great memory.It kind of reminded me of my older Brothers and Sisters when they went ice skating and left me home.Thank you for posting this.

[michaelprovidakis20]

this was me and my brother's favorite mcdonald's commercial when we were younger unfortunately he got killed in a car accident about 11 years ago

[pardyhardly]

McDonalds gift certificates can make GREAT christmas presents or stocking stuffers. They are also great for Channukkhha. They can be used for great McDonalds items such as hamburgers, cheeseburgers, shakes, fries, apple pies, chicken thighs, tie dyes and sweet lies! Available in packs of ten from youir local McDonalds! BA BA BA BA BA!

[DeviantCandy]

Marketing to fat? Maybe parents need to learn to cook and stop blaming the restaurants. Order one burger...not two.

[NinaLuvsFriedChicken]

lol he a child molesterer

[step4525]

Makes me want to go back 25 years ago when everything was good.

[KenBrewster1977]

i remember this commercial from my childhood...really brings back memories - and also, after what the humans did to his mother, i am really surprised to see bambi get so close to them.

[Isaiah333100]

This commercial is soooooo gay...

[Lucailey]

@Isaiah333100 What a nice compliment! With the acceptance gay people have been gaining lately your attempted rudeness isn't really all that rude. Happy holidays!

[mamallama99]

No, the negative comments are because McDonald's is killing us with fat and salt...ok, you didn't know when you opened, but then you found out and didn't care....you market to kids and parents with kids-then have your mascot hide behind a mask to lull us into a false sense of security as if you were our friend and actually cared about us...ok, yes, I had a filet-o fish on Sunday-I never said the food was not good ;)

[Hyp3rB76]

That commercial is an awesome childhood memory!

[mamallama99]

Come on kid, come and get some fat on you! Have some fries and a few quarter pounders and Big Macs!!! Then you don't have to worry about skating, you will simply just fall through!

[wearylady77]

@mamallama99 Excellent!

[Starpilot17]

This commercial would always start playing on Thanksgiving during the Macy's Parade.

[italianjen29]

OMG!!!! I remember seeing this on TV when I was a little kid! Such a good memory!

[iriasyrenee]

i'm sorry but this clown is soooo creepy

[HattieLovesCattie]

I bet the little kid ( now adult ) hates the commerical.They're skating on fake plastic too.

[chaksheba]

I so remember this commerical and it brings back such a wonderful time in the 80s. Things were so nice back then lol. Love this!

[judacia]

@chaksheba:

things were nice because we didn't know any better. sweet but sad.

[bearysweetful]

I didn't like it till they said Happy Holidays, hehe then, it got meh hahaha

[GiffordsFanTrailers]

I wish commercials these days were more like this.

[juiceeddieshow222]

why do people gotta be such insensitive jerks on here??? this is a nice commercial.

[Markedupshoes]

why aren't commercials like this anymore?

[starrystar354]

WEIRD

[SuperLuigiGuys]

is this the commercial to stephen king's it?

[Wildrage101]

MJ got nothing on Ronald McDonald in terms of pedoness :P

[tsntana]

Music from the "Good Time, Great Taste" ad campaign.

Original one had the "You Deserve A Break Today" music.

[briansky10]

I remember this commercial. I would always cry at the scene where Ronald picks the little boy up. That is so touching!!

[billymisfits]

what year was this from. i remember this.

[MelanieLouM]

@billymisfits 1986. ^_^

[ConnDevi88]

I like how they don't mention the food at all.

[xaviorbat]

@ConnDevi88 Reason was back then noone was griping about pointless intollerant "tollerance" and mcdonalds just wanted to tell everyone happy holidays, merry christmas, etc...they already knew you were coming in, so they made this to say thank you

[BardandQueen]

holy crap i do feel older now, i am 27 next week and i remember this xD!

[InARealPickle]

Wow, that's nostalgic! I always loved the McDonalds Christmas commercials when I was little. I remember this one very well. I can't believe it's been over 20 years. Geeze, I feel old all of a sudden. lol

[corvettekid224]

guess what? Ronald found a new boyfriend

[sexygirl13579]

I love this commercial. It does brings back memories

[triplehardy99]

My boyfirend teabaged the Ronalds you sit on

[amgceg]

ronald scares me

[scolson1291]

just what ronald wanted.....some alone time

[styldsteel]

LOL! Yea, we all need that some alone time!

Great memories though..

[987bubbles987]

ha thats cute and all but i wud be pretty scared if a clown came up 2 me with that expression on his face...

[kittyandkat2002]

This was one of my favorite commercials during my childhood. The McDonalds commercials today just aren't as good as they used to be.

[frank0stein]

This was a great commercial that brings back nostalgic memories.

It's too bad that people make bad comments...its because they didn't live through the 80s and don't have the same memories of watching this commerical as a kid.

Makes me feel young (and then makes me realize how much older I'm getting!)

[HattoSora]

wtf the forest aminals lol

(yes, aminals XP)

[Bestieschannel12]

i would not touch that clown.............xD

[TheManiacOnWheelsUSA]

Classic commercial.

[treatyourselftolunch]

Pretty creepy.

[michie80Vids]

I agree...very creepy :(

[beckelberry24]

oh my gosh! i totally remember this~ aw! what happened to all the good commercials like this!

[purplelilac79]

I always loved this commercial. It brings back such fond memories of my childhood and all my brothers and sisters still living at home.

[DarkWolfsFire]

That's pedophilism right there...0:44

[Tommuenster]

Idiot!

[americantear]

Only a pedophile would see this as pedophilism. Otherwise, it's only a harmless commercial.

What does that say about DarkWolfsFire? If anyone knows who KarkWolfsFire is, keep "it" away from children.

[DarkWolfsFire]

I'm not a pedophile, americantear. I'm just saying my opinion on the video. You really shouldn't be so quick to judge on just one comment, because you're right, it is a harmless commercial. I have freedom to speak just as you do.

I appologize if you see me that way, because I am not one of those sickos.

[svufanalltheway90]

lol thats hilarious. darkwolfsfire u are rite!

[waddleduckie1]

enigmaticocean, well, personally I don't like what McDonalds' doing ever since watching the movie 'Supersize Me". Have you had any idea how much influence the movie had when it comes to trying to get people to make respectful decision on how fast food may have a negative impact on health?

[MinorKeyLover]

I got the hook end of a candy cane stuck in my throat while watching this commercial when I was about 4 years old.. seriously, I had forgotten about that til i just watched this. meemories.

[KaneRobot]

Just think, if that took place today you'd probably be able to sue McDonalds somehow.

[MinorKeyLover]

hah you're probably right about that.

I do remember this commercial making me really happy though, when I was little.

[littleromey]

Yeah aol got to me as well.. i'm sorry but ronald mcdonald looks like a pedophile (sp) ok, that's the last creepy thing i look at while trying to sleep...lol

[waddleduckie1]

AOL?  At first I thought you wanted to burn down Ani! It sent me the jitters....

[pazuthekitsune]

i know we totally oughta form a mob and burn down AOL....although how we'd do that over the internet i don't know.....also i'd like my money back before we burn anything......

[CrazyDiamond5321]

This bring back memories.... and AOL considered this commercial one of the creepiest ever?????

[NeoFused]

I know, that's so BS.

Aol needs to go burn in fire anyway, some of their stuff is so stupid

[rsos123]

Ya! I've never seen this so I searched it after I read it in AOL. I don't see how it's so creepy..

[dpcoronado]

I can't believe I remember this. Makes me wanna watch cartoons all afternoon, like I used to. Which I do anyway.

[waddleduckie1]

Again, its ironic because McDonald's is the one that killing us with its inedible and fattening food' and is still creating commercials as an attempted coverup to retain its 'innocence'. Why should McDonald's be allowed to try representing all the athletes who are trying to eat healthy in order to compete? McDonald's is still doing its usual deceiving method.

[enigmaticocean]

If you don't like it- do what i do -don't eat it, but let the rst of the world be happy with it if they like it. Anyway, I remember my Mom crying every freakin' time this commercial was on.

[MrBigglessworth]

Man, noone could do commercials like McDonalds during the mid 80s.

[rjam1974]

Obviously the age gap on the comments are apparent. Those that grew up during the creative years of commericals(60,70's and early early 80's) knew that the commericals were innocent and did not take everything as sexual every time. You got quite afew young ones that never saw these kind of commericals and are too narrowminded to really understand.

[funkyjawa]

This is one of the positive uses of Youtube: sparking nostalgia in me from clips I saw in my childhood that I thought I forgot.

[Cluedokid25]

Blowjob face: 0:42!

[jamgirlbabe]

This commercial is very sweet and has a special place in my heart!

[LakersKobe24Andrew17]

oo cool, its nice to look at the old skool things, instead of our times, sometimes!

[moonseolnyeo]

Great commercial; I think all the negative comments are probably from people too young to have ever seen the commercial on TV.

[rjam1974]

Pretty much, the kids now always think a kid and a grown man dancing has some gay reference. When this came out bakc in 1980 and most commericals before, they were actually advertising products and commericals like this were pretty innocent.

[lilchuky5]

im sorry im voting again but this @#!% makes me mad

[bobafettfan32]

i remember this commercial takes me back 2 being a kid remind's me of christmas time cause they would always show it at that time bring it back!

[lilchuky5]

....WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!? trying to make Ronald look gay.

[Horsiegirl51]

Ok.. 0.0 *in a small voice says helppp meee mommy.*

[Tankovic23]

yeh check my video on my account, ive got the real version of the ad... shit went down different on the ice.

[SuicideOnMyMind]

omg the truth comes out how ronald is a pedophile.

[catlover254]

what the...

[pcrissfan3]

i loved this commercial..i love christmas and i remember this one from when i was six...thanx

[theydontknowyet2345]

god when Ronald picked up that boy I imagined a milk carton with "MISSING CHILD" labeled huge on it. They really sucker kids into this disgusting crap you call a "whopper."

Pathetic.

[apluskel]

not sure what this has to do with macdonalds but cute anyway

[Andryroxy]

Ronald is weird!

[bmatthall]

p.s. I hate Heath long and Ted Coberly...

[bmatthall]

don't you love it when the cartoon animals even make an appearance?

[kbeez12]

ahhh yong love

[ratkenrat]

i deffinately want ronald mcdonald around my kids. hes cool/.

[TheOpiumDistrict]

That was kind of creepy. And I'm not so sure I want Ronald around little boys. Or kids period.

[weeksusaf]

lol

[UDiznee]

is it me or is ronald mcdonald really freaky well if not he still gives me the creeps!

[dina81]

I always loved this commercial as a child... I get tingly and shiver when I see it now.

[Muzic1]

This always reminds me of my Step Brother... Merry Christmas Greg wherever you are...

[ChildStar]

im scared keep that clown away..

[JEH78]

The greatest McDonalds commerical ever. I wish they would continue to show this every year. I remember back in the 80's they showed this each year in December.

[JDB73]

The last time I ever seen this was on CBS or ABC in 1990, during the Christmas cartoon specials, and I was on the phone with my friend and we both seen it at the same time and freaked. We were both like, OMG this is so cool. they're playing the 80s McD commercial. That was the last time we seen it around Christmas. Too bad they don't replay it.

[narutofan1895]

damn ronald looks the same way 20 years ago holy crap lol

[Nicholas4141]

This Commerical Made Me Cry

[dutchmazz]

Me too...

[Nicholas4141]

That Commercial Made You Cry Too

[ericbrucker]

wow! what a racist commercial..... racist against clowns, that is...... muthafucka!!!!! :)

[Awsomio]

that was cool.

[FightTheTide]

I have this one on tape from a bunch of Christmas shows in like 1991 or 92...I was still a baby =/

[MagusX1]

Too bad they donot air it anymore. I remember they aired this commercial well into the mid 90s. No Youtube is the only place to see it. Alteast it can still be seen.

[chizzywoo]

That has got to be one of the creepiest characters ever...its a wonder kids dont run screaming from him!

[wildman78]

they've gotta bring this commercial back for the holidays every year but add the "I'm lovin' it" jingle with it.

[ConwingL162007]

Another great one I remember...lol and no I definately wouldnt skate with Ronald McDonald or any clown...Im terrified of them....aaaaaaahhh keep away but do remember this commercial very well...lol

[1lubee]

MAN THIS WAS THE THING BACK THEN!!!

[BornYesterday0126]

Wow this brings back memories.

Personally I wouldn't want to skate with Ronald McDonald.

[JimR541]

I remember seeing this one a few times on Thanksgiving the year it came out.

[SamHO]

my god

thats brian coates

[gouletdrg]

Who could forget this one? They start running this during the Macy's parade and keep it on till New Years all through the 80s! Ok, did anyone actually get a McDonald's coupon for Christmas???

[theone2225]

holy cow i remember this one haha, damn how times have changed

[ashland1977]

Wow. Back when McDonald's Commercials didnt make one wretch in stupidity.

[customklown93]

run little kid hes gettin closer!hahaha

[SHMUJEW]

wow isnt it great to eat toxic food!

[cruefan1]

that aint ronald its michael jackson. aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh. u know he probley raped that kid

[pinkbunnyslippers]

I remember this commercial very much. I actually have it on tape, becasue I was taping a Looney Tunes Christmas.

[rocknroller111]

Wow. I do remember this. I ice-skate like that kid, which is probably why I never played hockey.

[ProDGkick]

Anyone ever see the Stephen King movie "IT"? Ronald always kinda remeinded me of that clown.

[alicat121213]

Um, this IS coming from someone who wasn't ALIVE in the eighties, but if a clown I didn't know suddenly came up and twirled me around, I'd shit myself.

[Elk2020]

Great commercial

[Mobee211]

LOL I totally remember this commercial!!!

[DinkleToes]

*sigh* They just don't make commercials like this anymore... *cries in nostalgia*

[Xone7]

THIS is the greatest McDonalds commercial ever made.

[limabean00]

why did they ever stop showing this? I LOVE it

[MetallicaJunkie]

i remembver this commercial when i was a little boy, i honestly remember feeling sad, and cried when the little kid was left out, its probably been over 20 years since i last saw it, thanks

[ILuvMy2Gyz]

Tell your mom it's okay... I cry everytime I see it myself! Best commercial ever!!! I wish they would play this during Christmas time still...

[AKirstin]

So do I :)

It is so vividly connected to the holiday season for me

[akakatydid]

Oh my goodness, I totally remember this commercial! Loved it when I was younger! - And I think this commercial is probably the only reason Ronald McDonald is the ONLY clown that doesn't freak me out!! lol.
