I think the Happy Meal is a simulacra of happiness that needs a certain environment for context and experience, like a mall food court. It's a piece that fits the whole. Without it it's like seeing a girl in a prom dress sitting at the curb in front of a 7/11, it's depressing at first glance.
Is this the driving concept behind the ball pit? Remembering my childhood and fast food experiences, I remember the curiosity and joy of the ball pit which preceded the "nourishment" of the kid's meal. I remember looking out the window on the highways, passing McDonald's, seeing the ball pit and connecting to a feeling of happiness.
The "There's no getting back into heaven" made me realize that a lot of things I've been feeling lately have been because i can't accept that fact. Thank you for the enlightenment Chris
If you're looking for things to "make" you happy, then you are the problem. Be happy inside, then you'll enjoy the happy meal. It's not a meal that MAKES you happy, but through which your happiness flows and reverberates.
This is not a depressing video at all, like you said. This video gave me hope and motivation to enjoy the mundane and even the ugly parts of life. Does a happy meal make you happy? Idk, I just know that watching Meme Analysis makes me happy.
The mention of the mobile app in the beginning is something that worries me. There’s increasingly less and less reasons for people to socially interact. I wouldn’t be surprised if in the next few decades the majority have some form of innate autism spurned on by having almost no real social interaction.
I work as a manager in a McDonald’s at the moment. On a recent Monday evening shift we all noticed that the amount of filet-o-fish burgers being ordered was significantly up (like 12 in a space of time where normally there’d be 1-2), and I thought to myself “the moon must be in Pisces”. Checked my astrology app, and indeed, it was! (Just remembered Monday is Moonday). I didn’t know what to do with this, but now I’m excited to try and find other strange trends and correlations regarding this. Also, my guess for the cold small fries in your happy meal. The fry station always has an amount of each portion size held in reserve, so if you get a happy meal at a time where kids aren’t coming around often, you’re probably gonna get old fries. You can always ask for a replacement if you feel like it!
Man.. A while ago i had some McDonalds at a bus stop, remembering Chris talking about UBIK and seeing god in the mundane. Made that meal an act of worship. Best McDonalds i ever ate
eating mcdonalds by that dumpster isnt sad at all. once on a road trip my bf and i ate our mac dondal outside on a spot just like that, only we brought a blanket. we fell asleep for like 30 mins and it was so serene
The same thought processing can be applied to videogames nowadays. It feels like no game I play today can replicate the feeling i had when i was 14-16 year old, I can't go back to a time when i didn't have the worries of adult life.
Watching this whilst eating my leftover microwaved chicken noodles and fries from the local family diner; it’s a truly awe inspiring, meditative experience. Funny thing is that McDonalds is walking distance from me, but I wanted to make the drive to get the good stuff
Spare said that traditional playing cards could tell *any* future or even present that you asked to them. I wonder if the same could be done with trading cards. What would a Magic: the Gathering horoscope look like?
I personally believe that the unintentional poetry here in this video, which may have been overlooked by MemeAnalysis is the fact that he wears a shirt with a jester upon it. Now we can shift this into a few variants of an explanation, but for me I personally enjoy tying "Stańczyk" as emotional "mould" for this video in it's entirety
The whole vibe of this video is giving me an existential crisis... A grown man eating a happy meal by a bin, with a lamenting energy for the nostalgia of pokemon glory days... 😅 This is trauma 😂😂
mcnuggets hold a special place in my heart. on the last day of high school in my junior year, the homies and i bought like a hundred mcnuggets and brought em into the cafeteria, along with several varieties of extremely hot sauces. anyone could come over and grab a nug, but only if they dipped it in what was basically lava. god we ate so many burning hot nuggets i think we ascended to a higher plane. but we cam crashing down an hour later when we had to puke and shit it all out. still a great day though. i regret nothing. mcnuggets are king
I was a Gen 4 DS kid with a lightsaber stylus. For some reason after that I just flew right into other parts of life instead of dissociating from being at my grandparents' place with the John Mccain autobiography staring at me from the bookshelf. McDonalds was a place to walk to and get ice cream after braving a busy street for such a small town. Now everything is huge and incomprehensible in a new way. I live somewhere huge and now I'm intimately familiar with my house where I used to live somewhere small and I'd be more intimately familiar with everything that wasn't my house. It's funny how that stuff works... Nature really is opposites. What was that word Heraclitus coined? I'm gonna Google it. (20 minutes) Can't find it. I think it starts with an E.
Yesterday we went to the arcade and we went to McDonald’s because I was craving nuggets. To my delight they still had icees even thought they’re out of season and to my dad’s delight the McRib was back. When we got back I played one of those Japanese rhythm games for like 2 hours and got one of the all time high scores on tempest. That’s the power of McDonalds.
McDonald’s is the place to rock. It is a restaurant where they buy food to eat. It is a good place to listen to the rock music. People flock here to get down to the rock music.
It's funny Chris mentioned that the commodification of reality could attempt to eliminate the Zodiac from the collective consciousness because looking at the smile on the Happy Meal Box made me think about how food/nurture/comfort/satisfaction is co-ruled between Taurus and Cancer, the All-Lover and All-Mother, respectively. Both know how to pleasure and take care of us, so if they're separated from us, we are in for a rough Aeon. ***Gloomily bites into McGriddle w/sausage and egg***
personally never eaten happy meal, but have you ever heared about so called " lumberjack" burger? for example in Poland this MC's burger dominates entire country in its season between Nov and Feb, almost everyone eats that shit once a year
McNuggies sound like the ultimate alchemic ingredient. I guess Alphonse shoulda just multiplied the number of people needed for the Philosopher stone by 80 and waited for McDonalds to exist.
@MemeAnalysis man. What are the odds.i was just going there for a military trip. The whole area had such an interesting shitty yet rich vibe. Different than ohio for sure
I think the Happy Meal is now an anachronism. It belongs to the McDonald’s that sported a colorful and inviting red and yellow exterior and an inside where a clown and a purple lump would invite you into a ball pit after you had finished your happy meal. It does not belong to the drab McDonald’s of today.
Happinesses is downstream from achievement and at the time of achievement we never realise we are happy. Maybe if you lifted the happy meal a couple of times you might have achieved some muscle gain. Try that next time.
MemeAnalysis eating chicken mcnuggets by a dumpster in a parking while speaking his wisdom and radiating charisma gives me Diogenes vibes
Yes. But a happy bum :)
Now get out of the sun
Diogenes memes lives on

i'm so old at the meme analysis meme i know this is a continuation of wendys episode
If meme analysis is feeling not happy you know stuff is real.
Ain't that right
this is a good representation of fast food draining your mana in real time
I love tuning in to watch a recording of a man eating McDonald’s in the central backwaters of America in front of a stinking dumpster.
I like how it's not a completely an in dept video and it felt like I was just hanging out with him.
Me too, we've definitely gone parasocial here. I'm cool with it I guess.
Happy meals is just another way to have manufactured happiness because everything in life has become manufacturedly sad
this video was really depressing for some reason
How so?
The Dao was not present in the making of this video
Yk meme analysis doing just mundane stuff like getting a happy meal or going to a spirit shop really makes me appreciate just the mundane stuff I do
It's UBIK
The "There's no getting back into heaven" made me realize that a lot of things I've been feeling lately have been because i can't accept that fact. Thank you for the enlightenment Chris
then I'll make my own heaven

damn, I love when Meme Analysis eats fast food
my ranking: Travis Scott, Wendies. The happy meal
I think he makes these videos just as a excuse to eat fast food on camera without judgement by framing it as commentary

Chris morbin again but like the aeonic child that he is he will prevail and dine with the elves on a McDonald's parking lot once again
Can't believe the happy meal didnt work
False advertising, going to start a class action lawsuit
The fun part comes from sharing, and he didn’t even show us the cards.

Man, I’d be mad as hell if someone dumped their Happy Meal in my “Cardboard Only” dumpster.
It did connect you to the absurd, your hapiness was undeniable. The happy meal succeded. To a third worlder this felt like anthropology.
Not sure if Memes Matter anymore… not sure if ANYTHING matters anymore…

Not his best video, but definitely a cozy one. I enjoyed it greatly.
Maybe the lesson of the happy meal is that happiness is fleeting

Most contemptuous drive-thru order ever, yet somehow still got humbled by happiness.

Chris be chillin
Damn lucky you i wish we got cards here in Europe it is wooden puzzle or children books. I want my cardboard crack while shoving junk in my face.
Would love to see your thoughts on McCharlie's Unhappy Meal
I tried to locate the exact dumpster while cruising along on Street View with no avail.
despite his words he keep the cards, i found that peculiar
McNuggies sound like the ultimate alchemic ingredient. I guess Alphonse shoulda just multiplied the number of people needed for the Philosopher stone by 80 and waited for McDonalds to exist.
The clown on your shirt looks like a clown i saw painted on an abandonded outlet mall style bulding while i was in New Jersey

2:50 yeah but its because you didnt pay the iron price for that meal
love ya dude
Don't buy a regular happy meal, create a decent value meal
no sauce on nuggies is like no lube on the goo hole
its like the episode of the simpsons that "marriage is like eating a mandarine"
shut up and eat de happy meal
Wait, how old is this video???
So you imply that families aren't happy so they project it to something that makes them not far from the truth
