HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 ноя 2023
- Way back in 1990, McDonalds released the McDino Changeables, hilariously rubbish transforming toys made to look like McDonalds food products. Ellen found her collection and decided to show them off to Luke to get his opinion on them. Can Luke transform them? What will he think of them? Watch to find out!

I found a friceratops at school, and I loved it. I showed it to my mum when I got home, and she said that it wasn't mine, and I had to return it to the person who lost it. The next day I was told to go around the other classrooms and say that I had found the friceratops, and ask if it belonged to anyone. The first classroom I went to, a boy put his hand up immediately, saying it was his. I knew instantly he was lying, but what could I do? I handed over my beloved friceratops, and trudged despondently back to my classroom. That was thirty years ago, and I'm still not over it. Worst school I ever taught at.
I remember having the fries amd the chicken nuggets, they were great!
Seriously the logic is beyond ignorant. I get the intent, to return a lost toy, but 1. Sometimes it’s not even lost but 2. even if it was, no duh the first kid who wants it is going to claim it’s theirs. What is wrong with adults? “Oh you found a toy? Go tell other children what you found by name.” like damn just tell your kid to give it to a random child at that point, or better yet, JUST LET THEM KEEP IT. Not to mention schools usually have lost and found if they’re that worried about it, or tell your kid NOT to say what the item was, just that it was found.
I just read the last line properly and you made me mad for nothing
U got me mate 😂
XD was not expecting that punchline, no notes.
Did I think I needed a video of Luke and Ellen rating McDonald’s toys? No. Was I wrong. Yes. So much fun!
They exude such siblings energy.
Exactly my thought looking at the title. Watching now expecting to be quite surprised. I had the toy in the thumbnail so I’m hooked.
The shouts of "It's Egbert!" Made me laugh out loud this morning watching this 😂
The "Fried Egg-bert" made me lol Very punny!
Luke saying the 90's was a complicated time is both honest and harrowing.
Having lived through it (born in 85, so perhaps forming memories is a more accurate way of describing it) and he nailed it in one there tbqh
The day that Oxtra pivoted to being a toy review channel (but exclusively for bad happy meal ones)
Luke’s characterization of a McDonald’s exec in 1990 is so on point that he may or may not even know how on point he actually is. Probably he DOES, but can’t actually say it because they’ll get demonetized.
I think I have the first one somewhere too! The most upsetting part of this is that they used Triceratops twice as the basis for a name. I can only hope they came up with 'Tri-shake-atops' first and then thought "no, come on, we can do better than that."
I was thinking maybe that's what the three-pronged organ was for, to justify the name. 😂
Luke losing it repeatedly at everything about these toys was the most fun I've had in days!
Glad Ellen got to share something from her childhood. I bet the pun names were a bonus
I'm sorry, McDinocone was clearly the best one and I can't be the only one thinking it. It looked like he was breaking out of an egg. Justice for McDinocone
he was definitely better than tri-shake-tops or whatever that abominations name was.
I also liked McDinocone! They had a mechanism… a mechanism! But Egbert won because of nepotism. 😞
When they came out it and the nugget one were the best 2.
Yes! I like it because you can pretend there's a real baby dinosaur in there. Not a dino-McDonalds fusion abomination.
That Ice Cream one looks like a bulb of garlic on top of a cone. The unbridled joy that Ellen took in Luke's frustration in learning how to transform the figures was also delightful
Being sleep deprived makes this so much funnier lol
This might be my favorite episode yet 😂 I remember those toys and your reviews are not wrong. But I still thought they were cool af when I was 6. They were Transformers/Dinosaurs!!!
The hotcake package/pterodactyl was the best one. There was also a drink cup, but I forget what that became.
Somehow the ones we got in Australia were way better... I mean, they were still hot garbage, but still better than whatever the hell these ones were 🤪
11:09 Luke:''(...) It keeps going''....'Toy clicks beyond limit'....Ellen: "I don't think it's supposed to be going''
The look of fear on Luke's face when the toy 'clicked', and he thought he had broken Ellen's vintage toy was just so 😂(Ellen's reaction to it too was priceless, glad no toy were harmed during the make of this video)
I remember my dad had a couple of these (the Happy Meal and burger ones). I also didn't expect to hear the term "three pronged mating organ" when I woke up today
When McDonalds made the switch to healthy happy meals they missed an easy tie-in. All they had to do was put googly eyes on the carrot sticks, and they could have claimed it was a Rare/Rareware tie in.
You know some american kid will choke on the eyes and their parent will sue Mcdonald's
Hahaha that's friggin hilarious that you think any American child is gonna eat a carrot stick 😂😂😂😂
@@WhatTheFirstAidSprayMaybe if they wrote "plastic" so we at least know it's edible..
Sir Keradin of the Bulb.
I laughed so hard at "Hopefully this doesn't have a horrible face. Its Eggbert!"
"What's this ketchup made from?"
"Orphans, boss."
I love when Luke starts singing songs from musicals out of nowhere XD
God, I remember those toys, they were the worst! And they broke so easily too!
Petition for "fried Egbert" merch! Possibly including Prudence toasting a marshmallow nearby 🤔
This was the best, and I would totally be down for more McDonalds’ Happy Meal toy reviews.
Also, hearing Ellen switch to an American accent to disdainfully exclaim “dive barrrr” was devastating and hilarious. 😂
"If you would have told me there were 2 worse than this, I would have thrown up" and "I have really enjoyed this. Please get them out of my sight." That just made my night 😂
The nostalgia is strong with this episode
I would genuinely enjoy more of this!
agreed
Yes, I would, too! I remember Mum buying Happy Meals for my brother and I when we went shopping in Sheffield. Our collection was big enough to fill one orange box, which originally had a selection of Safeway crisp packets it. Not sure whether we still have the box, but I would love Oxtra to do a sequel to this called Best Happy Meal Toys Ever for a future episode! 😊
You know after all this time, I am so glad that you have never changed that intro. Please don't its perfect lol.
I dream of the London Symphonic doing an over the top version for the channel's 20th anniversary. But yes, this version needs to stay!
Ellen showing her early nerd cred by hanging on to these collectable toys. I mean, I assume they were meant to be collected, right?
I'm sure they'll be worth millions some day!
The joy you people bring to the world is just too great
The late 80s were the best time for Happy Meal toys. We had muppets riding bikes, cars and a rocking horse.
I had those McDino changeables. They were great...we didnt have the happy meal those, just the fries, burgers, drink... happy happy memories!
This reminds me of my childhood so much! It was basically all "We have Transformers at home" type stuff.
I have to say watching Ellen and Luke who are clearly best of friends having fun with one another is one of my favourite pastimes. Two friends who clearly love each other very much are having fun and inviting us to partake in their games feels like a real privilege. You guys are wonderful, it's like watching children play together with their first friends. I bet your parents watch this and weep with joy at how happy you are. Thanks a bunch
There was another set of these Happy Meals toys before the dinosaur set that did transform into 'robots'. I had one that transformed from a robot into a Hot Cakes and Sausage container. They sold pretty well, from what I remember. I wasn't able to get the entire set though.
They sell for decent money now too especially if in the package but why any kid would have left them in the bag is beyond me
I was just wondering if the robot ones I had were a US thing because those are the ones that we have.
@@WrackPharmd they were older ones
I had to look it up because I has having an existential crisis because they were all wrong when they transformed, and the ones I remembered were definitely before the 90's. Turns out there were 3 runs. This was the third, the first two runs were different, and the third was the one they showed. So Congratulations Luke and Ellen, you made me do research on 1980's and 1990's happy meal toys, I hope they're happy.
These two are always such a treasure.
Luke's face every time he revealed one of the dino heads cracked me up. I vaguely remember having these as a kid! Great video you guys 😁
"...and here is our first draft for the new Toys!"
"Yeah sure whatever, approved. Now excuse me, I'm meeting Michael Eisner down at the golf club"
7:56 Luke losing it at the name will never not be funny. I thought there’d be a clip at the end there where he hadn’t stopped laughing.
Well! This was a transformative experience.
(Rim shot)
Having a late breakfast and watching show of the weekend is what makes it feel like it IS the weekend for me ✨
Yeah. I feel it too 😊
Ellen saying "Dive BARRR" 😂😂😂
I had the even older versions of these, when they were still trying to look like robots (I think they were a tie in to the 1986 Gobots Movie). They just looked like nightmare versions of Aqua Teen Hunger Force... And they couldn't even be bothered to reuse the existing Gobot named "Nugget". On a more fun note, I went to a Vintage Toy Show where one vendor had three huge picnic tables full of plastic tubs filled with old Happy Meal toys. That was an oddly pleasant nostalgia overload, until I looked at the date on the bottom of a Fraggle Rock Racer and realized that I'd last held one 30+ years ago...
We're still young. Don't let the math fool you.
Maths is absolutely going to fool me because I am five thousand years old and my brain is all sawdust and moss
This is an incredible chain of Luke trolling Jon with Transformers slander and then Ellen trolling Luke with incredibly detailed dinosaurs that are so factually realistic.
When I was six years old, my family moved to America, and Return of the Jedi came out. Burger King had these RotJ drink cups that were the ultra-littest thing ever. Happy Meal toys were never able to turn my head after those Jedi cups.
"They're a pack animal". Hahaha.
Wow, got hard hit by nostalgia thanks to this episode.
There is actually one more to the collection: the burger. And tbh, that’s always been my favourite one, closely followed by the fries. Though I might need to rethink that assessment, now that I know that the fries turn into Egbert…
my fave was the ptero-dactyl looking one. 'cause it folds out of the box shape.
Also I'm pretty sure Luke posed the fry one wrong.
agreed!@@marhawkman303
@@marhawkman303 Yeah, it folded out of the hotcakes box, that one was cool!
The happiness I felt when Luke shouted "It's Egbert!"
Thank you for the nostalgia kick and also for telling us some of the backstory with that ad! I had several of these toys and had forgotten all about them!
Thanks for unlocking those childhood memories for me. I had completely forgotten these were a thing! I had several of the US variants as a kid! They seemed a lot more fun back then lol
Your McScientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could... that they didn't stop to think if they should... 😂
This video unlocked memories I didn’t know I had! I owned 3 of these little guys, my favorite being the fries because that was my favorite menu item as a little kid. Thank you for this video OXtra!
alright jon, time to SPILL. what's your collection? CHUG? studio series?? what's your holy grail? what's your stance on shellformers? give jon a transformers power hour now!!
He probably has the actual Transformer happy meal toys.
I enjoyed this way too much 😂 you're bundles of joy and lovely people, thank you for making me laugh 😊
They food transformers were not rubbish - they were my favourite Happy Meal toys! (Far more interesting than just another batch of monopose toys from yet another Disney tie-in Happy Meal promotion...)
Although the ones I liked were the robots rather than the dinos…
I remember the robot ones being pretty legit, but…just _look_ at the milkshake dino. Please. I can’t any more.
Yeah these were non-marketing toys from back when McD still made original toys.
@@beesforbreakfast Indeed!
Yep, transforming happy meal toys were the top-tier stuff, everything else was just molded rubber nonsense.
“What’s this, McD?” Probably thousands of pounds on eBay, Luke.
They actually had two lines of these - the original was a robots line released in the late '80s, really trying to capitalize on the popularity of Transformers and Go-Bots. Frankly, I was a fan. Only the Lego Happy Meals with ACTUAL LEGO topped these. 😎👍
Is this the start of a new series?! I'm all for it! 🎉😂
Great video yall! Love you guys!
I had a lot of these! I'm not sure if we still do, but this is so much fun to watch
I had these as a kid and I don't think I've thought of them until now, thank you for the amazing nostalgia.
Holy crap this brought back a lot of nostalgia for me lol I remember having the ice cream and fry box toys. Had totally forgotten about them until I saw this. Going to have to look for them now 😂
every moment of this was an unexpected left turn. Probably one of my favorite Show of the Weekends in a while...every moment was just so unexpected
Point of Order Jon!
Megatron DID shoot a bullet in the G1 Marvel comics! He'd suffered a head injury that took away his free will, got wielded by a small time crook (only firing lasers) who used him to become a mob boss, thrown away by said crook during a fight, had the impact from said throw jar his internal mechanisms loose enough to both fire a normal bullet and restore/reset his mental faculties.
Edit: Luke? The Happy Meal isn't a dragon, it's a Red Yoshi.
I'd absolutely watch more of these! the fry one was adorable.
I really want to see Mike’s reaction to the Egbert fries!
I wonder how Luke would've like the Hot Cakes Pterodactyl. That one was probably one of the best in that set.
I think that they have served there true purpose "laughter and happiness" in that 8-10/10. As toys? You were generous using a 5 scale, keep the numbers and use a 10 scale and you've got it.
OMG pure nostalgia!
I had that drink dino and the turtle, which I still find absolutely adorable, almost as adorable as Ellen and Luke
A very very strange line of Otherberts.
That's all you got?! Track down the rest lol that hot cakes and sausage one would have blew his mind 😂
Wow this takes me back!!! Still have mine too Ellen. Can't wait to see if you do another one of these.
Now I'm just dreaming of an unfortunate event happening once again to our beloved eggbert to transform him into fried-bert
I literally have these still! I remember breaking my fingernails on the “fryceratops” tail. Thanks for unlocking those memories!
As easy as these are to make fun of, the toys today are worse. Such half-arsed crap to tie into whichever bad movie they want your kid to go see.
This brought me right back to my childhood... and, as much as "grumpy old flossman" wants to be grumpy... I loved this. ❤ The memories were fantastic and the show was the same.
Top tier content! I will be here for more kiddie meal toy reviews!
After a bit of dip for a while the last couple of months of Show of the Weekend is back to the brilliant and hilarious show it once was! I’m Loving It 😜
Excellent episode, please more like this!
I think y'all should do more videos like this to I love yalls content
Omg the nostalgia! We've got a box in the house of old happy meal toys that my mam kept for us over the years haha! We also have the happy meal-odon, the fryceratops and I think the try shaker tops (brilliant names🤣) damn this video has taken me back!
Only at 4:00 and already in love with the Big Drak ™️
I can't believe you keeped your happy meal toys for more than five minutes, yet again I still have this mini lightsaber, which is probably the most high quality item I ever got in a happy meal.
The "its a pack animal" pun made me laugh harder than I think it probably should have, thanks Ellen
Oh my God, the fryformer! I actually remember having that! Best start to the day ever!
I'd like to see Luke try and tackle the Jurassic Park Transformers Collaborative figures XD
Also in recent years, Transformers did a series called 'Bot-Bots' where 'bots were created when a piece of Allspark landed in a shopping mall and they were created from all kinds of everyday items; kitchen hardware, houseplants, sports balls, toilets, etc. And foodstuffs were there too, so this happy meal range was like a 'precursor' to the Bot-Bots XD
This is slowly unlocking some long-repressed childhood memories. Damn you both!
Ellen's excitement always makes me day ❤️
The CACKLE at looking up the names! This made my day better, thank you
Luke losing his shit at the names is a highlight of the day.
9:39 Johnny, watching this video: _Write that down, write that down!_
I knew there was a (nother) reason why I loved Jon. Transformers fans, unite! (much like Devastator)
Transformers toys (especially the cheaper off brand ones) seemed to always pick a primary form (vehicle, robot, dinosaur etc.) that looked pretty good. and then the secondary form often looked like the toy designers said "Yep that's close enough, ship it." 😂
I had the ice cream one as a kid! I'd completely forgotten about it until this rush of nostalgia ^-^
Optimus truck is now canon!
I like Jon's aggressive zoom in on Luke's face when he said that, as if to shame him 😂
Now I crave a new Series by Ellen and Luke just about old toys
I love you guys! You are all so cute and fun enjoy you guys so much! ❤️❤️
I just finished watching Andy & Ellen's Fear Academy video on the doll house from Resident Evil Village 😅❤
I remember playing with the Hotcakes box that transformed into a pterodactyl.
*Thanks for the Content!*
Omg, I instantly recognized that little mcnuggets turtle guy. I definitely had that (american variant of course) and the ice cream cone, as well as the hotcakes pteranodon shown in the commercial clip (clearly the best one, I'm sorry you missed out on that)!
I believe the term for a multi pronged organ is hemipenes!
This should have 100% been a collab with Ashens :)
Lukes reactions to the faces are the best xD
Not the episode that we deserved, but the one that we needed.
Oh I remember these. Very cool finds. Memory unlocked
