As a Gen-X who grew up in the 80s. The McDonald land theme definitely had the same kind of magic as Disney. They had talking hamburgers. Which was just as cool in the pre-internet era as a talking mouse. Ronald was the only clown that wasn't scary. I hated clowns but Ronald was the man. He was a low key super hero who was always saving the Hamburgers from thieves and pirates.
@@CosmicCreatorCat while it isn’t the best analogy to portray what is discussed in this video, it is meant to put emphasis on the fact that they blatantly ripped everything, while changing practically nothing.
My dad used to tell this story of when he would go to McDonalds and get SOOO excited to see Ronald. this was when they would have people dress up as Ronald. He would always run up to him and hug him, and since he would go there so much as a kid, the guy playing Ronald knew his name. He would go around school all the time telling everyone that Ronald McDonald knew HIS name. Kinda cute, really reminds you on Disneyland with all the characters going around
@BILLIE SAYS DUH yeah I've heard that one before. No sane parent is actually going to give their child an expensive piece of equipment just because they got a lot of comments
there's a little bit of irony in the fact that this meme was originally a kid asking to go to McDonald's and his mom says they have food at home, now you have turned McDonald's into the inferior "food at home"
Your description of Grimace, calling him "fast food Jabba the Hutt" was HILARIOUS 😂 That did come as a big shock to me that Grimace was originally a villain, he is my only fav character in Mcdo, everyone else I was scared of.

Ooooh gosh. Someone who lives in the next town over has one of those McDonald land jails in their yard; just with a lot of the paint missing. I've always wondered what it was and where it came from. Now I know and I don't know if finding the answer made it better or worse.
My friend with a special... _fondness_ of clowns made me view clowns as something completely else and singlehandedly removed any discomfort I may have felt with them. I primarily felt uncomfortable because I feared being approached in public and messed around with for fun, but now that I know I'm my own biggest clown, nothing can stop me.
I'm sure this wasn't your intention.... but God! This comment seems so very cursed when read in the right tone... like what did your friend do to make you like clowns? WTF did you mean by fondness? How are you your own clown?? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!

This is the story of the 'darkside of McDonalds', which is told by one of the children of the 'Villians who stole from them and sued them.' Not that Croc was a good guy, just the family of the narrator is worse. Understand History Yet ??
He really is dedicated to his job, he invited me over for a threesome, but he was just working on a script and he just rubbed one off while watching in the corner.
Here's an idea for a video: "Who is Grimace and Why Should I Care About Their Birthday?", where you could dive further into the history and development of _McDonald's_ characters/mascots, as well as their current "Grimace's Birthday" promotion.
Being a 90's kid means you predominantly grew up in the 1990's, not necessarily be born in the 90's. It's the same for 80's kids (as many were born in the late 70's) and so on and so forth....
As a kid, I came up with a theory that Ronald Mcdonald and Hamburglar met in a correctional facility. And somehow they got out, or at least intensively planning to. Birdie was their pet bird, who they truly believed can carry messages like a spy, and Grimace is just a figment of Ronald's imagination as he descended into madness. Looking back at it now, that could be some indie slice-of-life webseries.
The funny thing is that there is actually a hamburger and ice cream chain called "Freddy's". It doesn't feature animatronics, and has a 50s diner style of decor. Every time I drive by one, I think "I don't want to spend five nights there!"
@@ClockworkMan13 I don't know if you know this, but guys dressed as clowns have also been known to hurt people. That early commercial might have actively malicious writers, because it told kids, "I'm not a stranger! You know my name, which I am definitely not lying about! Eat this strange-smelling food I'm giving you! Everything is fine here!"
Born in 80. I loved McDonaldland. And since my dad was raising us by himself, we got to go to McDonalds a few times a week. Food sucked, but being able to play was nice. So many memories of friction burns on my legs from sliding down the metal slide 😳
This feels like a superhero origin story or something. The way that the characters all had to change designs to be less copyright-infringing and thus became who they are known as today seems so dramatic to me for some reason lol
Honestly yeah I really like that approach! I kinda wish fast food had more of a fandom like fanartists and stuff cause I’d love to see some ideas on how three went about changing their looks and stuff (if that makes any sense)
“Nobody can see me cause I’ve stolen all their eyes.” “And if they want them back you have to eat McDonald’s fries.” is what I thought the vid would be about
I feel like type of food would also be a factor like chips would be a snack but even small portions of like hamburgers would be more likely considered a small meal
You know, these videos tend to be just the perfect length for those awkward spaces of time where your about to go do something, so you want to stop doing anything that is heavily time consuming, but also don't want to sit around until you can go do whatever it is you're about to do.
LOL my dad grew up in Australia and my stepmom will make references to her childhood (as an average american child) and my dad will just be like "yeah, mhm, whats that?"

My dad and I went to go see some other movie but it was sold out so we chose another one- the founder- and it was one of the best movies I’ve ever seen! I’ll never forget watching it in the cinema. It’s so different to my usual movie taste but I was just so interested. 10/10.
This is a theory idea I've had for a while: Out of all the places who claim to have the best let's say ice cream, who actually has the best and what makes it the best ice cream?
@@msmaria5039 I think it's about like Baskin Robin's type beat, actual ice cream places, not ice cream that's a side menu from the actual burgers at like mcdonalds for example
All References in the intro, have i missed anything? -Nugget is in a pile of nuggets -Plankton is stealing the secret formula -Bendy has his own restaurant -Gordon Ramsay is in the kitchen doing what he does -Rick and Morty are ordering food with Morty’s Dad -Bob’s burgers is open
bc playplaces don't pay no more. they gotta market to millennials and gen x bc the more recent generations aren't having kids as much as previous generations, therefore being less lucrative to target children
My Mom was an assistant manager of one of the largest McDonald's in California in the mid 80s. Thanks for the memories, she would dress up as Grimace for special events.
i kinda want to visit the southern hemisphere during june or july to get a laugh out of winter occurring then and enjoy some skiing. stay warm down there as summer up here in the northern hemisphere has been a scorcher
This is actually the first time I paise the video in the intro and I LOVE it. I never noticed the Freddy’s or Kronk and the Food Reviewer from Ratatouille. Considering I LOVE all those characters you got my seal of approval. (Though I would’ve loved to see Aqua Teen Hunger Force hidden somewhere in there, Meatwad is my spirit animal.)
"It basically got sued out of existence, and not for the reasons you'd expect." You fool... By telling us it's not what we'd expect, we change our expectations, creating a paradox that will doom us all to a mindset of ever-shifting expectations!
An indelible memory of mine is from working on a McDonald's commercial in 1979, and seeing Ronald McDonald between scenes slumped in a director's chair with a Heineken and a cigarette.
@2024 student7 don't forget about that time the chocolate shepp is flavored on cloudy tuesday so don't forget skyscaper dollars should be outlawed for the favored gum so susie adams could finally life her mom. also no
4:31 I don't know why, but the way Ronald said "It worked?" gives me "guy who is greatly confused by everything and has no idea what's going on" vibes, and i can heavily relate to it.
There was a science teacher at my school that did this - he's since retired but for over a dozen years he kept a big mac and fries in a cabinet in his room that stayed in the same condition throughout
Random thing we tried while on vacation in Las Vegas: Since our hotel was the Red Rock in Summerlin, we tried the McDonald’s that they had nearby. The Ice Cream machine was never broken at all while we were there
I guess this torpedos my “Ronald is a dictatorial monarch” theory. Real-life court just happened to ban McDonaldland’s elected official, law enforcement officer, and only academic leader.
I literally just found out from my parents today that H.R. Pufnstuf was a thing and now it has come up in a Food Theory video, this might be the creepiest coincidence that I have ever experienced......

Food theory idea that occurred to me while rewatching the GT Live playthrough of kindergarten 2. What is the best food to use in a food fight? Based on things like accuracy, mess factor and the slap factor when it hits your opponent. Hope you guys see this 😁
When I was a child, I remember when the McDonald's clown and characters were big. Never thought of them as creepy as a child and thought they were interesting as a child. Now as a grown adult, I find this video enlightening and thought provoking.
The McDonald’s characters always scared me when I was little. There was “stairway” up to the play place and to get into it you have to go though the mouth of a tree with a scary face
Food theory idea: could fanf atully stay active in the real world after all the muders and stuff or would they go out of business Edit: basically could fnaf survive as a Company in the real world
The next theory channel should be “Crime Theory” or “Conspiracy theory”. In “Crime theory” you guys try to solve crimes. In “Conspiracy theory” you guys talk about conspiracy’s and prove if they are true or false.

Why does mcdonalds now build a depressed middle aged adult version of itself???
Holy crap youre right
cuz the kids from the 80s grew up
bc playplaces don't pay no more. they gotta market to millennials and gen x bc the more recent generations aren't having kids as much as previous generations, therefore being less lucrative to target children
I suggest you watch Ordinary Things’ video on this for that answer
@Take a look i dont want to
My Mom was an assistant manager of one of the largest McDonald's in California in the mid 80s. Thanks for the memories, she would dress up as Grimace for special events.
Love your mom!

Remember a few years ago when they were actually going to TRY that? Where they were planning on having different "emoji meals" like sad, grumpy, etc.?

This is actually the first time I paise the video in the intro and I LOVE it. I never noticed the Freddy’s or Kronk and the Food Reviewer from Ratatouille. Considering I LOVE all those characters you got my seal of approval. (Though I would’ve loved to see Aqua Teen Hunger Force hidden somewhere in there, Meatwad is my spirit animal.)
This legit sounds like some short of FNAF lore.
Just add some dead children.

Can't wait for the next episode to get into the 90s era weirdness of McDonalds, especially with the cracked out Ronald from the late 90s cartoon.
I love that cartoon I hope he does a theory about it.
McDonald is like a gold mine for this kind of stuff.
"It basically got sued out of existence, and not for the reasons you'd expect."
You fool... By telling us it's not what we'd expect, we change our expectations, creating a paradox that will doom us all to a mindset of ever-shifting expectations!
An indelible memory of mine is from working on a McDonald's commercial in 1979, and seeing Ronald McDonald between scenes slumped in a director's chair with a Heineken and a cigarette.
Are we going to talk about how there wasn’t even a theory, but more of a recap of what happened to McDonald’s in is early years.
Eh it was interesting so I’m not complaining.
Its a nice storytelling

4:31 I don't know why, but the way Ronald said "It worked?" gives me "guy who is greatly confused by everything and has no idea what's going on" vibes, and i can heavily relate to it.
I'm still curious about this question I've had for a while. "How long can a McDonald's big mac stay shelf stable by itself (no freezing)?"

Random thing we tried while on vacation in Las Vegas:

Growing up I always felt McDonalds had something to do with a “W” related franchise. I just though it was Wal-mart not Walt Disney. Lol
at least that’s more believable than Alolan Exeguttor being a dragon.
Lmao
But really tho why is that
Say what???? I never caught that. I also thought it was weird a palm tree start out as a bunch of cracked eggs. Idk i thought they were being "creative" my whole life.
Exeggutor.
it at least has scales and qualities of being a dragon.
To be fair Palm tree bark could be seen as scales, but it’s not even a reptile.

During three 70s, we kids loved McDonald Land and all the characters. Fun times for sure.
Food theory idea that occurred to me while rewatching the GT Live playthrough of kindergarten 2.
What is the best food to use in a food fight? Based on things like accuracy, mess factor and the slap factor when it hits your opponent.
Hope you guys see this 😁
Would love this
Coconut

A very excellent idea. I'd love to learn that one.

When I was a child, I remember when the McDonald's clown and characters were big. Never thought of them as creepy as a child and thought they were interesting as a child. Now as a grown adult, I find this video enlightening and thought provoking.
The McDonald’s characters always scared me when I was little. There was “stairway” up to the play place and to get into it you have to go though the mouth of a tree with a scary face
Crime always pays, getting caught just costs more

Food theory idea: could fanf atully stay active in the real world after all the muders and stuff or would they go out of business
Edit: basically could fnaf survive as a Company in the real world
Kinda obvious. They wouldn’t because people would notice the disappearances.
The next theory channel should be “Crime Theory” or “Conspiracy theory”. In “Crime theory” you guys try to solve crimes. In “Conspiracy theory” you guys talk about conspiracy’s and prove if they are true or false.
