Because they were sued out of existence. Mcdonaldland was basically a carbon copy of a Sid Marty Krofft TV show called HR pufnstuf. The Krofft Brothers sued and won.
They're not creative for the time. You just aren't used to the culture of the world at the time So you can't see how this first commercial is a rip off To the hippie movement. These videos are trash like Their food
those terrifying, terrifying monsters they called and I quote 'happy' that have replaced Ronald are terrifying. and to make it even worse, their canonically friends with the minions. I swear, I'm going to by up the old, retired characters and save them from the legacy of being in the despicable me 'franchise'!
@@cumminglikeahorse The Minions definitely overstay their welcome in terms of the marketing, but I don't take the blame on the Despicable Me film franchise for that. The reason why Ronald McDonald got replaced by that "Happy" character is due to the clown sightings trend on the Internet became a huge deal in the US in 2016.

What happened to all the creativity? Nowadays it's just fast food companies trying to make as much money as possible with little budget costs from commercials
To be fair Mcdonaldland was not creativity..but rather the result of them copyright infringing the design and character construction inherent in Sid and Marty Krofts H.R Puff N Stuff. After a deal fell through Mcdonalds went through with deeboing the goods and using them to advertise a.k.a 'brainwash' young children.
.....are you joking? They were literally sued, successfully, for ripping off HR Pufnstuf Like did you seriously think this was both original, *and* was done for fun and artistic reason, and not trying to make as much money as possible?
The McDonaldland Ads are definetly for kids eyes, seeing this as an adult is really scary to be fair! 😂 I won't recommend this for people on drugs as well! 😂
Those marketing campaings had a lot of budget. That is why they aged better than say other companies from the same era that had lower budgets for marketing.
This old country really needs more commercials with apple pie trees, thick shake volcanos French fry trees mr Big Mac and mr big cheese. More great fun Macdonald commercials.
McDonalds 1970= let's make a mini storyline about Ronald McDonald and his mcbuddies going on random adventures to advertise food for kids McDonalds now= let's advertise food by making celebrity meals
Remember when Ronald McDonald would come to your local McDonald's, and the restaurant was jam packed with excited kids holding "Hi Ronald" signs? Me neither.
It does sound cheap, true, but to be fair, $50 cents was probably a weeks worth of pocket money back then. For context a regular burger back then would have costed roughly 20-25 cents. Nowadays a regular burger costs about at least a dollar or two.
I’ve came up in the late 1970s when McDonald’s was still advertising these commercials featuring Ronald McDonald because I do not remember these earlier commercials because I was then a baby coming in the world at that time and today none of these characters are no longer in the commercials anymore since they had taken them all out of service because Ronald McDonald and his friends had seen better days now but the business still lives on but the childhood memories will always be remembered.
I knew about the Sid and Marty Krofft lawsuit, but didn't really understand it until I saw these first commercials; it really does look imitative of HR Pufnstuf.
Anyone know who narrated some of those commercials? The "said Ronald" ones. Sounds like a take-off of Pete Smith who narrated all those "Pete Smith Specialty" shorts that MGM used to make in the 1930's and 40's.
Now you should make a video of all the other McDonald’s commercials including the ones with only Ronald Mcdonald ones, the ones that feature the characters outside of McDonaldland and all of the others
Let me know if you're able to find it - I'm considering putting together an updated version of this compilation (this one is missing many commercials).

That first one is so hippy like.
I mean it was made in the 70s
It sounds so cool though

It actually slaps though. The perfect song to play while baked as hell on the way to cure the munchies
I like the storytelling in the ads. Why don't we see this so much today?
Because they were sued out of existence. Mcdonaldland was basically a carbon copy of a Sid Marty Krofft TV show called HR pufnstuf. The Krofft Brothers sued and won.
Wut
Because unfortunately souless design and pandering is more cost effective :C It's sad honestly
IK!! THE STORY ONES ARE RLY GOOD!!!!
These 70s McDonalds ads are charming and chill nice change of pace from modern ads.
I am fascinated by these ads they’re so creative
Not really. Some of them were discovered to be copyrighted from kids show “H.R. Puffenstuf”.

Over share?
This brings back a lot of memories!!! Thanks for posting a clear copy of the soundtrack.
The first incarnations of the Hamburglar really are terrifying.
Lot of imagination back then
The quality of the old American commercials is impressive, many of them don't even look like they are from the 70's, I would say 90's.
Those marketing campaings had a lot of budget. That is why they aged better than say other companies from the same era that had lower budgets for marketing.

They can't they got sued for copyright
Don't forget them hamburger patches
We really need to bring back these throw backs! I bet it would be popular as the shezwan sause
I really remember the early ones from Saturday mornings!!
Good god. I forgot Grimace used to be Evil
Can we just take a minute here to realize how terrifying ronald was.
Nope
What about other characters like idk....
The Hamburglar
he was thick af though
Nothing terrifying about him at all
McDonalds 1970= let's make a mini storyline about Ronald McDonald and his mcbuddies going on random adventures to advertise food for kids
McDonalds now= let's advertise food by making celebrity meals
Love them. I’m 60 now, but was 11-12 when they came out!
Was that a Mac Tonight remix playing in the intro? Cool
Also, what happened to Hamburglar's face!?!? I'm soooooo glad they redesigned him!!

A TRIP through McDonald’s land
2:46 but…. Like Ronald says……
*OOON*
That first theme song variation is really swinging and groovy. 🎵
Like if you want these commercials back 👍
Can you believe the work that was done in putting together McDonald land just for a small commercial.That was the set decor for a tv show.
The hamburger patch should have had a slaughterhouse and a factory farm
BirminghamBoy the cows?
BirminghamBoy I guess so
Pretty sure they stole all of this from Sid and Marty Krofft, but you've got to love how "far out" the 1970s were.
Literally it’s SO sid and marty krofft
McDonaldland: A rip-off of H.R Pufnstuf
2:44 "Like Ronald said"
STRANGER DANGER!!
I can't believe they made a whole commercial about throwing away your trash. It's not even a message about recycling. Just throw your trash away.
Throw your trash away
Remember when Ronald McDonald would come to your local McDonald's, and the restaurant was jam packed with excited kids holding "Hi Ronald" signs? Me neither.
This is making me hungry!!!!
I'm starting to question my existence and I'm starting to see McDonald's prints inside of my palms.... Is life even real
Most of these kids are in there 60s now.
I loved those mcdonalds commercials and willard scott as ronald mcdonald
thats some nightmare stuff
Why does Ronald McDonald in the 1971 ad looks like he dropped a large dookie in a diaper- 😭😭😭
The hamburgler freaked me out a lottttt
I don't know what to think about this 😭
It's really weird and definitely feels like a strange fever dream but I'm fascinated
I remember hearing about these commercials from Yesterworld
If McDonald still had these ad’s I would always watch Ads if I get these
Nobody:
60-70's hamburgaler: a boopie dee ah eey it HAMBURGER!
0:52 WEED
Dreamcast sprout
The first song sounded like country joe and the fish!
Considering the gift certificates are 50 cents, McDonald's must have been pretty cheap back then
a lot of stuff WAS cheap back then
It does sound cheap, true, but to be fair, $50 cents was probably a weeks worth of pocket money back then. For context a regular burger back then would have costed roughly 20-25 cents. Nowadays a regular burger costs about at least a dollar or two.
I love them! Is sad that they don't make them like before

I’m lovin it
the original hamburglar looks like a rat and I love him for that :3
I want these ads instead of the ones we have 😭
Captain crook we can't sleep

This is terrifyingly cute.. Did I just say that? 😅
The McDonald Land Intro song 🔥🔥
I wanna go here. RIGHT NOW!!

These were the greatest McDonald's commercials ever miss the old times through the 70s 80s and 90s, today's McDonald's Commercials Suck
11:32 Ronald broke character
(Realistic voice crack)
1:27 Dam kids got stoned
Cool
When I was a kid, I longed to go to McDonaldland.
The voice of Mayor Big Cheese and the judge sounds like Ed Wynn.
My nephew is in that bag! 😄 haha
16:29 Ronald...you ok buddy?
I'm scared of these lol
The McDonaldland jingle is really catchy.
Brings back so memories when we lived in Daly City in the early 1970s. We used to go to the mcDs in San Mateo.
Has anyone ever had those McDonaldland fever dreams?
i had a McDonaldland nightmare

i remember this video back in 2019
*DUHHHHHH WHERE'S THE COKE?*
These days we’re getting worse food, shittier marketing and higher priced food. Come on man. 🤦♂️
Hamburglar's original costume kinda looks like something a serial killer would wear (especially the mask worn).
sure looks a lot like puff n stuff
👁👁
Thats bc its a puff n stuff rip off they even got sued for it
"My nephew was in that bag!"
Young uncle
🤡🍔🙇🏾♂️-the burger alarm!
The dislike are from th hamburgerler and people who didnt go to McDonalds land
I kinda like the intro!
I was hoping I'd find the commercial for the Christmas ruby-red reflector cups, like the ones for Halloween. But I guess my search continues.
Let me know if you're able to find it - I'm considering putting together an updated version of this compilation (this one is missing many commercials).
Please do the McDonaldland commercial from the 80s
BirminghamBoy can you please make a McDonald’s land ad from the 90s and early 2000s
The ads that spawned an entire generation full of obese diabetics--of which I am one
The thumbnail is scary
First commercial sounds very Beach Boy-ish.
