i could never imagine any corporation making such a creative training film nowadays
Creative? This is sposed to be a training video for adults and is positively infantile which shows you where the MacDonald's corporation was at.
I think the video is cute and was probably pretty memorable to 80s McDonalds’ crew members. To each their own though. Have a good day.
@@hopegrimsley3427 not a world Ive been part of nor ever wish to be, take away chains are essentially like cults and McDonald's is the worst of those and no cute video changes that and McDonald's tries hard to divert you from its greed with this kind of garbage.
@@JohnBloggs-m8l noted. Thank you for your thoughtful response. Have a good day and Happy Thanksgiving if you’re in the States
@@hopegrimsley3427 I'm not, I'm Australian so Thanksgiving means nothing to me.
Aqua Teen Hunger Force was a lot different back then
Hey, the Land of Overused Moron Jokes just called. They want their lame, tired attempt at humor back.
Chicken McNuggets were a lot bigger too
came here to say that
👏👏👏
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’ve been looking for this for years! No one believed me there was a training video where the McNuggets were puppets and one became sexy because she was dipped in honey 🤣
She was sexy before she was dipped in that honey. She got sweeter after. A honey dip for sure! 🤭
In a breakroom in 1992, I sat on a wobbly picnic style table that had been ripped up from the outside of the McDonald's.
This one video about this one product from 9 years prior was the sum total of my training at the restaurant.
We would watch this during our breaks sometimes becauae it was so ridiculously funny. 😅 I was part of the McCrew in 1985. I've been waiting for this video to surface!
@Debbie Kotte Cheesy to watch videos like this. Love it
Hahaha me too!!! This was a cult fav when i worked there in 92
McThank you
The fact you still refer to yourself as part of a "mc" crew disturbs me, this video was clearly designed to advertise to the staff as much as "train" them in anything other than worship McDonald's.
@@JohnBloggs-m8las an American, trust me no one is “worshipping” McDonald’s. Atleast not me. In fact I don’t even eat fast food unless it’s the only option.
I really wish other McDonald's training videos were like this. The puppets give it a lot of personality.
but it's WAYCIST as some karren would say.
censorship is fascism.
@@VolkColopatrionsome black would say you mean
I needed to watch this video before my first day of work at McDonalds in 1984. I completely pulled a batch of McNuggets from the fryer when the "duty timer" beeped, instead of shaking and returning to the fryer. This meant I sent out a batch of raw-in-the-middle McNuggets to be served. We had a bunch of angry customers. Those nuggets looked sickening on the inside.
censorship is waycist.@@VolkColopatrion
it is. very racist. @@Bobster71
back when McDonalds was fun
C’mon, man…Cardi B’s fun.
@robert779 Sarcasm, I hope lol
MCFLURRYS &🍦Sundaes got filming day off cuz ICE Cream machine was BROKEN😂
@@Dani-ICU-RNlol good one
Back when they were affordable
There were never leftover nuggets. The crew huvered like vultures waiting for shelf time to expire. 😂
hell yea
Employees are probably charged these days.
Oh man I remember watching this training video in the crew room back in 1988! 🍗
I bet the stores were more colorful and lively than they are today. And the price of a hamburger was next to nothing.
@@yt-user03561no shit.
Yeah
Cringe!!!!
@@feliperodea8316 saying cringe is cringe . ESP when there is absolutely no cringe about
I worked at McDonald's from 1985-89. This brought back a lot of memories. Thanks
The life cycle of a training video, from a carefully planned training script, to a video production, to a VHS copy sent to some restaurant in Arizona, and then it dies in RUclips
I wouldn't say it is on RUclips to die, more like a second chance. There is a huge audience for videos like this. Look at the Wendy's training video series, Old Country Buffet carving video, or even the McDonald's cleaning training video that breaks out into a song and dance. No one would know of these if it was not for RUclips and people loving the 80's and retro stuff. So I would say these videos got a second life thanks to RUclips.
you mean lives on forever
I don't think it's dead when it's had over 400k views 😂and we're watching for fun. Whoda thought
@@austinlawler3739 RUclips is it's heaven.
Wait, there's an OCB video? I will spend a lot of time looking for that one@@austinlawler3739
“They are a perfectly viable food product” - Big Mac
“Not necessarily so, daddio” - McNugget
Omg 40 years .my copy of this video tape got destroyed in a fire in 1988. I thought I would never see it . Very cool . Back in the day, best way to watch it was when you were stoned. lol thanks for posting this.
It's STILL the best way to watch this! 😂
The world was a better place back then...this is proof
Now it's ending. Bbye
Freedom was nice while it lasted. Well, assumed freedom. @@blakebortles6098
Hiv was literally getting discovered that same year, how was it a better place
I love how the McNugget gets nicer in his tone during the actual training instructions. Ig they realized it's not good to be that aggressive towards their actual staff
Very astute observation. Awesome
The McNuggets look different from the commercials with Ronald McDonald.
@@DennisTamayo I was thinking the same thing. I wonder if this is how they might have looked before the redesign that we all know today.
@@Grover1234 The training videos were definitely not made by the same people who made those ads
The Bobby Knight of McNugget coaches. Yes, he does ease up a bit on them later on
I miss the McDonaldland characters.
They were so much fun for kids.
I grew up at the very end of their campaign (1997-2004) so I’m the last generation of people who actually knew McDonald’s had this for their Happy Meals.
Getting one of those iconic red and yellow boxes was such a special treat. Getting food that was sticky and messy.
Now, they put all this healthy crap in them and it makes kids cry.
It certainly would make me cry.
I’m sure you make plenty of people cry just by walking into a room brah 😐
You sound like a boomer lmao
As much as I love the film, Supersize me really ruined the fun of McDonald’s
@@juansaladzarAverage Redditor incel alert
They’ve been through so many lawsuits over pushing unhealthy food to kids, justified or not, that they don’t even take the risk now and just act like kids wanna go there for the apple slices and milk in their advertising… no characters either, except the terrifying box one
"Excuse me, my coke has gum in it.."
"DAMMIT COKE, TEN LAPS!!"
Any questions?
"Uh coach?"
NO TALKING.
The apple pies were better back then. The filling was 1000 degrees 🔥 though.
The filling was fine if you had common sense. But a certain demographic decided they could play dumb and exploit this for their own financial gain.
@shannonquinn8687 yeah I sued McDonald's and won $47 million because I burned my tongue. I then bought a McDonald's franchise.
Omg. I got hired as an asst manager at McDonalds in 1984. I had to watch about 25 videos my first day. Most were like this
You were a hire off the street? That is incredibly rare. McD's 99% of the time promotes within the store.
@@TheJillianRussellI answered an ad in the paper.
At that time I already had 7 years of Restaurant experience 2 of them being Assistant manager of Bonanza.
I gotta admit. This is far more entertaining than the Corporate Memphis snoozefest everyone makes you watch now. I envy you tbh.
@@emilyofjaneSo true. I had a pt job at christmas tree shops and last august they went out of business. I found a pt job at homegoods and my first day I sat thru 4 hours of the most boring videos I ever watched.
As a McDonald’s worker in 2022, I wish we watched videos like this. I love the shitty puppets.
😄😄😄
I can picture some random high schooler just trying to make a couple bucks, and having to watch this while they roll their eyes to the back of their head.
Oh boy did we EVER! We looked at it like "meh, we getting paid to sit here 🤷🏻♀️"
The face the fries make at around 9:14 when the coach says "who says fries were stupid" was so relatable
This is really cute for a training video!
I feel like coach McNugget held back a few "Mother**cker's."
You mean Mcmotherf**kers 😂😂
LOL!!!!😂
13:10 how are they clapping?! HOW ARE THEY CLAPPING?!
you dont wanna know
😂😂😂😂😂
Came here for this comment. 😂
puppet astonishment is always a glorious thing.
The people who never had the nugget in the 80's have no idea how good they were, just like the fries when they changed them they were never the same. The beef tallow was what made the fries, and the mix of dark meat was what made the nuggets, and I'm so sad the honey and hot mustard were discontinued they were the best!
I ate nuggets when they were released in '82 in my area. I hated that nasty, gristly dark meat mixed in. I was really glad when they went all white meat.
@@pinkfreud62 We all have different tastebuds, I cannot stand white chicken meat of any kind, it has the least flavor, and is dry to me of course, but that is why they make different food for different tastes, i'm glad you like the new ones 😃
Honey and hot mustard aren’t discontinued at all, you can still find them at McDonald’s
@@kaiii794 Oh I'm glad to hear that, I was told that by a friend, maybe they were out or something? Thanks for letting me know.
@@kaiii794Hot Mustard is regional. We have it at our local McDonalds’ in North Alabama, but it’s not nationally-available anymore unfortunately.
I was beginning to think I had imagined this video in my head. Saw this in November 1990. I don't know how hot mustard equates to being a samurai, but wow is this thing dated.
The sweet and sour one seems like the sexualized food Tucker Carlson would enjoy.
For me this is so ironic. I was in a group at my local y and we took a tour of our local McDonald's and we were allowed to watch a video in their downstairs break room on the VCR and this was the very video. I was 12 at the time . I think the year was 1984. At least I think this was the training video that the manager let us watch. The best part of the tour of the McDonald's was at the end we each got a free sundae.
Note the polystyrene packaging. So 80s
9:12 poor Fries was like 🥺 someone called me stupid?
He was like 😕
@@jillpilld1124 I had to replay that moment, it was great puppeteering
I worked for McD's for 10 years. I just had to watch this and see how accurate this vid was to real world restaurant execution. I can tell you that most of these procedures weren't followed. The only time they were was when reps from head office were in the store.
They were followed in in the 80's when I worked there. This was exactly how we did them, however, much more rushed at times. The 5 second drain only + shake them in basket at duty timer and at the end. When really busy you didn't need to put them in the warmer for long. Remember the fries and the nuggets were all done in the same place, (although their own baskets). A lot of greese burns on your arm with a busy night of shaking fries and nuggets. Along with your burned fingers trying to pull a stray bun out of the bun toaster.
Wow, this is truly wonderful!
Also, 11:52, for the rest of my life, I fully intend on randomly shouting "DRAIN THE MCNUGGETS!"
I'm going to use drain the mcnuggets as a euphemism for urinating. Because as we all know the pee is stored in the balls.
I will say it like Doc Brown.
Why would a small order of fries need to know how to prepare chicken McNuggets ?
Serve food or be served yourself - Management
Why does the sun rise in the west?
Dude every time I watch these I start getting anxiety like I really need to remember for my job
I turned it on out of curiosity as a goof and now Im on like minute 14 and Im just into it.
The egg Mcmuffin is getting married.
She's an English muffin, she's being posh. 😂
The McNugget coach is terrifying.
He sounded like he meant business. I went to McDonald's and took the sauces to the front counter and I don't even work there.
Shit fuck him, I'd go and be a Whopper at Burger King (fries always on improvement list)
"Masculinity.".
R.I.P. Hot Mustard Dip 😂
I appreciate that they got the ghost of Bing Crosby to voice the Nugget Leader.
We still have it in Canada.
Don't really see the connection between mustard and samurai.
@@TheJillianRussellbut what do I do if I live in the USA?
@@anonmouse15Three condiments in every Chinese American restaurant were hot mustard, duck sauce and soy sauce.
We have in S.E. Pennsylvania.
1983 was the year I turned 16 and went to work at McDonald’s, my first real job
Why does the main nugget look like an apple pie 👀😂
That's a good question.
Lol 😂
It’s a chicken fillet
King chicken
I'm stuck in an endless fast food training video loop...... help...
I was working at the restaurant located in San Francisco's downtown (Market & Montgomery Streets) when the McNugets came out. Back then the sauces had to be poured inside individual clear containers that we filled as they were needed.
RIP Dennis Farina (Coach McNugget). Also, the racial and gender stereotypes were appropriate for 1983.
They still are. The only people that care are terminally online.
Better than any movie made since 2017.
True!
correction, better than any movie made since 2010.
😂😂😂
Thanks lefties!
Why the specific year 2017?
The dream sequence from Good Burger was based on this wasn't it?
Now that I know they're anthropomorphic, I cant ever eat them again
Speak for yourself, I was raised on California Raisins being lifted from concerts to feed us as shown on MadTV.
7:48 Coke is doing his laps, what a trooper.
1:27 Where is your bun sir? 😂I love that the Big Mac is all proper and refined
I guess we all working at McDonald’s now
That coach was so aggressive 😂
I know, it's pretty hawt, right?
I'm 38 and watched the entire video.... I'm impressed by the creativity and how well it's keeps you engaged
I would have never thought McMuffin would be an old lady, I will eat either more respect from now on.
Kinda interesting to explore some McDonalds lore and world building.
My first real job as a teenager was at McDonald’s in the summer of 1983. My restaurant in Mesa, AZ was one of the test markets for Chicken McNuggets. We didn’t have this video but we were “on our way to the top, with a broom and a mop! “
40 years later, this video gives endless entertainment
"DRAIN THE MCNUGGETS"!!!
Back when they gave you 3 or 4 sauces for 1 order of nuggets.
No- I think you had to PICK ONE .
@@LannieLord you got 1 flavor but they threw extra sauces in. Then they started charging 10 cents for extras. They only give you one or 2 sauces for a 10 piece
As someone that ate McDonald's my whole life, that's bull crap. They never just gave you handfuls of sauce.
@@kiwisoup I'm probably older than you. I came up in the 80s. They hooked it up. They didn't have 4 piece back then. It was 6, 10 and 20.
In Styrofoam boxes.
It’s wild how videos back then actually made you wanna learn how to make this stuff. I wanna fall asleep every time I watch training videos now a days
This puppet McNugget video is probably the most entertaining training video of all time.
Let's have puppets explain the importance of food safety!
If you get the persistent leakage from your no-no area, that means you've probably got food poisoning!
This is just asking for an analogue horror remix.
Who would've thought that hamburger, fries, soft drink, all regular size became the star of the mcdonalds training video
Bonus points for providing a sesame street vibe here
This is on par with the grill skills wendys rap as one of my favorite training videos
This is the cutest training vid I've ever seen.
WOW! Somebody must have uploaded this that had the work vhs tape. I LOVED IT! lol
I thought the chicken guy was a apple pie
Surprised ranch wasn’t an option
This reminds me of The Letter People.
That “nugget” isn’t fooling me: I know he’s an apple pie
RIP Beef Tallow fries 😢
Holy 🐄 ive been looking for this for ages 😆 we used to watch this all the time when i was in HS and worked at mcds.
Definitely perfect for stoners. Also why the hell are the other food items so damn happy for them to be eaten?
Obviously they did not see the movie Sausage Party.
I agree
because theyre suicidal
🤣
The cooking time is 4:15, but another 5 seconds just to be sure.
I remember watching this video in November of 1988, along with the FILET-O-FISH and Apple /Cherry pies training videos. Eventually, I was asked to watch the other videos for the grill area, including the Quarter Pounder video, Big Mac and regular hamburger video, Fries video, Salads, and the breakfast products videos like Egg McMuffin and Hotcakes. I remember the big scary looking shelf of VHS tapes on my first day there. My managers said not to worry, work on 1 video at a time. Videos like this one are very helpful. Our golden rule on all food items preparation, "If it's not right, don't serve it." From time to time, managers would randomly test our knowledge and watch me go through the full procedure. They even had me train new workers because I was meticulous and careful. This is likely not done in today's fast food restaurants often enough or not at all. This is a very big reason why service is often really bad nowadays. Today I am a mystery shopper for Restaurants and fast food. Because I worked in fast food in the past, I know what kinds of basic things can go wrong in food service environments. This has helped me to become a skillful mystery shopper. Even people who have never worked at a food service job can be skillful with enough proper training and useful information.
Fries was so cute, and very expressive.
Look at all of the effort put into this. The training videos I have to watch at work are crappy slide shows with clipart of various art styles.
"A high-brow food such as chicken mcnuggets" lmao
The textile makeup of the McNuggets would explain the microfibers that can be seen under a microscope to this day.
That moment when you realize the inspiration for the beginning scene of the Good Burger movie. xD
"Who said fries were stupid?!" Savage!!🤣🤣🤣
I like it when he said “McNugget loads”.
14b year old 1987 McDonald's employee Says thanks for the memories... AKA Way to go Big Mac!
This is WAY more interesting than what they trained me with!
They knew their employees were stoners. It's brilliant.
@@nyki7fykxtjxyithat is so true 😆😂
Nightmares OH the nightmares from Mc Hell... I'm retired after 35 years MAKE IT STOP 😂
“Activate the computer.” 😂
Glad they put the T.M. by “Chicken McNuggets”, that helped a lot.
Somebody was 8 miles high when they dreamed this up.
The 80s were truly a magnificent time
Now I want nuggets.
oh my god its like an acid flashback
I remember when McDonald's first introduced chicken nuggets. My little sister was allowed to get them and my brother and I always had to get a cheeseburger. "Life isn't fair". My dad smacked me because I got upset and said that. I never said that again.
You were not wrong
Um, why? Hope you found therapy for the odd injustice you were dealt and dear old dad gets only ensure at his old folks home now.
You got to always protect the McNuggets! 😆
10 piece !
This sure shows how we grew up as Gen X. Raised on muppets! 😂
The best! 💯
This is amazing
I went to McDonald's to get a second job and the owner paid me 9 starting when 8 was the starting wage as I had experience. This was decent pay as it was many years ago. It got me by. They wanted me to be manager... starting wage was 9.50 for manager which was 1.50 more than starting wage as crew. They brought in a new district manager who was only about money and penny pinching and I agreed if I could get at least 10. Her response was it not a hard job. I asked is this job made for humans to do? She asked me what I meant. I said if it's made for humans to do then it shouldn't be hard for a human to do anyway. Her job was made for a human to do and she got paid 72K a year. I'll never work for them again.
Welcome to capitalism.
The fries sound like Rocky the flying Squirrel. Interesting how the nuggets seemed to ignore the fact that they're about to die.
Man I remember that tv funny I was 4 years old. McDonald's Muppets 🤣 as kid abd now I am 44 years old. memory Muppets McDonald's because
MY older cousin s job training vcr cassette . She was teenagers I 83.
Thank for memory Muppets McDonald's
I thought the harmful asian stereotype nuggets were one thing, but nothing could prepare me for the Sexy Nugget™
ikr
I was aroused by both!
I expected the cultural insensitivity and mixing up American Chinese cuisine with Japanese stereotypes, but I was not ready for the bimbofication of an innocent Chicken McNugget
McDonald’s food does not talk. I have been buying and eating it for most of my life and not one item has ever said a word. I think this is totally unrealistic and not really representative of their food.
"Facts.".
Imagine going into work one day, high as tits, and the boss tells you to watch this new training video.
Aw man now I want a McNugget Samuri plush and a 20 piece mcNugget with Sweet n Sour sauce
