I remember seeing this first time round on C4 and wonder why more people don't do it - saying that - they've got height barriers now which probably are there to spoil our fun!
This will always be one of the funniest things I've ever seen on television, and it;s always the clown car that gets me "He just wants a Happy Meal". Met Mark Thomas once, top bloke, just as funny offstage as on.
Good on you Mark, McDonalds built one of their poison factories next to our Burger van 25 years ago, they used to come over and threaten us to move. We had to end up giving up our van.
9 people have absolutely NO TASTE when it comes to food or COMEDY entertainment! This video made me laugh out loud several times and even got me in trouble at work... it was worth it though!
something like that - we did the whole series and I was chatting to another crew member only the other day! Mark Thomas was/is great to work with - really nice bloke and is just as he appears.
A mate of mine knows a resercher who worked on a chemical to turn chicken left over's like cartilidge into the texture of chicken which Macdonalds uses for there chicken nuggets. Ps don't eat "aspartame" & "yeast extract" its basically MSG and be weary of undetailed descryptions like spices and flavouring
mark thomas had a meeting with a mcdonalds who told him it was a fun place to work, etc. he goes along to a restaurant with clowns, plays pranks, etc. and they don't find it funny.
It is such a shame Channel 4 got rid of his series. Not alot of people outside the UK know that he created the Ali G character and not Sasha Baren Cohen who copied him
Hahahaha. "Mcdonalds is fun" yeah right, they had no sense of humour and being a previous employee and a reguluar customer in the past i know for a fact that no one smiles behind the counter and yes the managers are indeed miserable gits.... Nice one Mark Thomas, You Rule
" WELL I'VE BEEN BANNED BY McDONALDS, McDONALDS WON'T GIVE ME SERVICE" " BANNED BY McDONALDS, YEAH McDONALS WON'T GIVE ME SERVICE" " WELL I'M GONNA HAVE MY ACHING HEART BROKEN, IF I CAN'T GET MY FILLET O FISH" Way to sing the blues Mark Thomas. : ]
Would someone please, please explain to me what is wrong with selling burgers? I found some of this funny but I seem to be missing the whole point. Thanks for your patience.
They can't stop anyone filming these corporations think they own the streets. Ask them what Law says you can't film, there is not one. They are using statutes but they are the rules of society and we don't have to consent to them. Check out dannyallen1984 on here and cveitch.
couldnt agree more with W10boss. This is not insightful or exposing wrongdoing. I tis just a cheap joke like candid camera or Jeremy Beadle, it may make some people smile but it is in no way a serious piece. Everyone knows McDonalds is a corporate monster but this really is low brow entertainment, putting pressure on the lowest ring of the McDonalds chain. If some one pulled stunts like this outside body shop or anay other supposed worthwhile industry staff would be equally snippy.
"fun is crucial at McDonalds" "GET BACK TO WORK BEFORE I SACK YOU!"
Still as funny as the day it was made! Bring back Mark Thomas!

Seen this dozens of times and it never gets old .
i was in my teens when mark thomas was on the original conspiracy theorist
Mark Thomas - you are a genius!!
I was on the crew that shot this! We were wetting ourselves!
Looks like the Wandsworth Bridge one?
I remember seeing this sooooo long ago. Still love it. Bloody McDonalds shite.
LMFAO!!!
Whatever happened to Mark, the guy's a genius?
"McThank you!"
Mark is a true genius!
Although the quality on this video was a little low it was still hilarious to see.
Thanks.
Simon, the Manager deserves an extra silver star!
"They are clowns i just want to get them a HappyMeal" ¡¡¡¡ LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!
I have had a crap day today. Came home.
Watched this clip and have laughed like a lunatic!!! 5 stars!!
Ha Ha i fucking love how they bring in chaos uk!!
Good on you Mark, McDonalds built one of their poison factories next to our Burger van 25 years ago, they used to come over and threaten us to move. We had to end up giving up our van.
AmIsis You can make me a Burger anytime you gorgeous sexy Lady Hubba Hubba,,,
we need more like mark
One of the finest TV moments of all time! Legend
Mark Thomas was trolling fast food joints before RUclips made it fashionable.
9 people have absolutely NO TASTE when it comes to food or COMEDY entertainment! This video made me laugh out loud several times and even got me in trouble at work... it was worth it though!
Seen this a load of times (first time when it was initially televised) and only just noticed this:
How can a hundred 49p burgers be £46.55?
something like that - we did the whole series and I was chatting to another crew member only the other day! Mark Thomas was/is great to work with - really nice bloke and is just as he appears.
This is truly hilarious. This guy is brilliant but I wouldn't want him harrassing my business it'd send you absolutely nuts! haha
omfg I love mark thomas!
I saw him a few days ago on the last show of his people's manifesto, what a man
That my friends, is a work of ART!
Pure Class. That is Mark , not McDonalds although its a fun filled environment.
Right. I think the point he was trying to make was more to do with the company's ethical policies than the fact that they serve people food.
Mark Thomas is seriously my hero!
Glad to have seen Mark thomas live both politically aware and funny too 2 for the price of one. This man walks the walk!
Absloutely hilarious.
brilliant, I thought the APC at the drive thru was good, then the band came along too...
the tank and band were great
"No, WITHOUT onions!"
i remember this years ago , was brill , also bill hicks is worth a look if u like this sort of thing
The ginger manager ( go back to work or i'll sack you) scary day walker!
F*cking classic!
Mark Thomas = Great Man
i have not laughed so hard in ages, i shouldn't have done that with a cold though, my throat hurts big time! Worth it though!
love the fact he keeps refering to it as his property.
This was brilliant!!!!
This is SO FLIPPING SATISFYING TO WATCH!!!! Hit them where it hurts the most. NO NWO NOW!
Way to go Mark

the dislikes on this must be from mcdonald management
Mark Thomas ROCKS.
Lol awesome! Nice post. 5 stars!
haha this is funny.
A relative of mine had a reef made of the Mcdonalds logo at his funeral. It made me think of this lol...
A mate of mine knows a resercher who worked on a chemical to turn chicken left over's like cartilidge into the texture of chicken which Macdonalds uses for there chicken nuggets.
Ps don't eat "aspartame" & "yeast extract" its basically MSG and be weary of undetailed descryptions like spices and flavouring
Amazing
Haha this guy is such a pain in the ass for this McDonalds especialy if he did all that the same day.
mark thomas had a meeting with a mcdonalds who told him it was a fun place to work, etc. he goes along to a restaurant with clowns, plays pranks, etc. and they don't find it funny.
Dunno how they managed to get consent forms from all those people.
Wonder who he got that tank off???
Mark Thomas is so funny and exposing McDonald's.
PIONEERING!
nice one mark
It is such a shame Channel 4 got rid of his series. Not alot of people outside the UK know that he created the Ali G character and not Sasha Baren Cohen who copied him
9 people work @Mcdonalds...
...or are ginger
Awesome! When was it? 1996/7
Is this the fella from watchdog on BBC?
No.
Hahahaha. "Mcdonalds is fun" yeah right, they had no sense of humour and being a previous employee and a reguluar customer in the past i know for a fact that no one smiles behind the counter and yes the managers are indeed miserable gits.... Nice one Mark Thomas, You Rule
Awesome!

@diffusedlight 'fun is crucial at mcdonalds'.....Mark and Co. were simply living that value to the max
lol nice 1
Those guys in this tank are military men?
awesome!
it was all good but then i saw a tank like what the fuck
McDonalds don't own the footpath, so tell them to piss off.
The media relations manager is just plain creepy. like something out of Stepford.
I wish America was this funny
@audioaddict2000
I do so agree! LMFAO! love Mark T

As a Chef I don't see what people see in such crap food.
@anwarwhufc83
