I also miss the classic McDonald's characters other than Ronald, like Gossamer and the Hamburglar. I think they've went defunct after the Klasky Csupo series.
But you gotta know, these characters were made around the time when everyone wanted to be like Rabbids, which were very popular during the late 2000s and early-to-mid 2010s.
I think the premise of Happy could’ve worked with a better design. Like, maybe have his entire face on the front of the box, so he doesn’t have his eyes bulging from the top, and no realistic teeth.
Exactly- all they had to do was take the normal red Happy meal box and add dot eyes to the already-present simplistic smile. But no, they had to make it worse than an Eldritch horror.
I honestly loved Ronald McDonald as a child, and thought it would be so cool to meet him in person. Then became disappointed when I figured it out that Ronald wasn't actually a real person and just an actor on a clown costume instead of the actual owner of McDonald's.
makes sense since happy even joined him in some scenarios before being the official mascot. its like spongebob as a show. Happy was just another character of the McDonald's family, as was Spongebob just another nicktoon.
My friend and I were just talking about this the other day, wondering if they'd officially gotten rid of Ronald or not. I really miss him, he was such as iconic and likeable mascot. And I get that clowns can be scary (I personally love them but that's just me), but hell even as far as clown designs go his is REALLY tame and simple. Hardly scary at all, at least once they refined him. I'm just glad he at least still makes appearances sometimes, he doesn't deserve to be wiped away completely.
Happy looks more like he keeps and eats children in his basement than Ronald McDonald ever did You can take Ronald seriously because some children are afraid of him, people distrust him. Ronald is a great guy and understands not every kid vibes with him, he respectfully gives them space. Happy as an apex predator has evolved to lure in his prey. He has the front facing eyes of a hunter scavenger.
McDonalds: "The Clown is out as everyone is afraid of clowns. But we need a new mascot..." Employee: "I have an idea. You know that minion thing going around? I presenting...." **Shows off Happy** McDonalds: "My God that's scary! It's perfect! That is exactly what we needed! Get this employee a raise."
Minions: Who are you? Happy: I'm you, but cheaper they did a crossover with Minions...because of course they did. Happy wasn't Happy, Happy was a Mistake. He only made the devil happy
I always thought modern Ronald was the least creepy clown in existence, so it's kind of funny to me if they said, "Hm, people fear clowns, so let's take the least threatening clown to ever live and replace him with a box that has a gaping mouth filled with human teeth and eyes that can stare straight into your soul and weigh your sins. Marketing!"
Flippy is my favorite cartoon character and like to picture him in both Splatoon and Animal Crossing because those are both my favorite Nintendo games.
I once went to a party and there was this person in a Happy costume and let me tell you, if you thought the mascot itself is scary, that costume was horrifying
In my old elementary school, we use to get visits from Ronald Mcdonald annually. One year, everyone stopped talking about his next arrival and he never came back since. Now I know why;-;.
I thought I was the only one who was freaked out by this mascot. Like, wow when I’m asking for a clown to return as a mascot, that’s when you know you messed up.
I actually grew up knowing these mascots and i didn't hate them somehow like i'm also kind of scared of clowns but the fact i was never scared of Happy scares me the most
@@ThePaperGamerChannel I guess it's the way his eyes and mouth look weirdly realistic but also big like they're staring at your soul when the rest is so cartoony, that's called uncanney valley
With the way McDonald’s seems to be moving, I think Mac Tonight might be able to return, it would be a good chance to reintroduce him to the children while also bringing back a mascot some of the adults might remember
@@Zylix08 Ronald's not like that, and he's a chill guy. Happy meanwhile looks way creepier then a Minion to me. Frankly, I prefer the Rabbids over Minions.
I feel like Happy honestly did more damage to the McDonalds brand than Ronald ever could. While I was neutral towards Ronald, I remember always hating Happy and then associating that hate with McDonald's as a whole. I didn't even want to take a look inside of a McDonald's, for fear of gazing upon that wretched creature.
Things like animatronics, clowns, puppets or other such mascots honestly never really scared me as a child. I never got that uncanny feeling other people got
I remember one time I went to McDonald’s with my cousins and I they got me one of the happy meals. For some reason, you could pop the eyes out. I tore its eyes out
I miss the old wacky adventures of Ronald McDonald so much! There won’t ever be anything else like it even though there were only 6 episodes. I have so many nostalgic memories of watching them as a kid.
Ronald never scares me, neither does Happy. I don't even have nightmares of him. I wish they could bring Ronald back. I've never met him in real life, but to me, he's a great friend. Like Steve from "Blue's Clues." I also wish they could continue his animated series. "The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald" was a great series. It had such awesome songs! Even though Ronald's not shown on TV so much anymore, I'll still remember his smile. 😊😁
Actually, Happy was created back in 2009 for international markets, 1 year before the Minions were fully introduced. It wasn't until 2014 when they finally made their American debut.
I know how you said something about them getting rid of Ronald because of some kids/people having that fear of clowns but as for me I actually liked Ronald and I have never had a fear of clowns
Fun fact about McDonald’s: In Europe, McDonald’s stores will sometimes have green branding instead of red, although red and green are both used in the UK.
Fun Fact:He Appeared In The 90s And Early 2000s And His First Appearance Is A Box With A Moving Yellow Mouth And In The Happy Meal Anniversary Commercials As A Puppet Called Happy Meal
Ronald mcdonald, despite being a little creepy is far more iconic than the happy meal guy. The happy meal guy just looks like a generic illumination character
I didnt realise Ronald was gone, until ive got an ad just recently. I new that that there was a new mascot that represented a happymeal, idrc at the time- but i didnt realise they deleted poor Ronald after clown sightings??
I can think of multiple comments for this video lol so i mixed them together here: the reason why ronald mcdonald left mcdonalds was so he could join the rivals of aether workshop as an OP character multiple years later. mcdonalds was going dark mode, just like some other things like discord. 2:23 patrick is our hero 3:21 powerpuff happy isnt real, they cant hurt you powerpuff happy:
I was wondering why I hadn't seen Ronald in advertising in a while, but McDonald's straight-up tried to _replace_ him? The new mascot isn't even related to Touhou music at all!! What were they thinking?
All I can think of is that meme of the happy meal with Happy's face in a tree smiling down at the camera in the dead of night with the caption stating something like "I was on a walk when I looked up and screamed." While I cannot find it, I still chuckle occasionally, thinking about it. While indeed creepy, if this never existed, then I would never get my free dose of serotonin when feeling down.
Happy is an example of what I refer to as the "Idiot Swarm". The group of idiots that look similar or identical, speak gibberish, do random shit, and are designed to be highly marketable. The Minions, The Rabbids, those Cinnamon Toast Crunch squares that eat each other, and these ungodly Happy Meal abominations are all examples of this bizarre phenomenon. Also, I'm glad you brought up how bland and boring McDonalds' aesthetics have gotten. I have no idea what caused this shift, but even as someone who's never been much of a McDonalds' fan, I hate it. Probably even more than the creepy Happy mascots.
I don't get why many RUclipsrs always say Ronald is "creepy/scary," especially when compared to that Minions/Rabbids-ripoff grinning Happy Meal box "thing." I honestly miss Ronald the last existing, friendly, non-ironic, clown. I hate "Happy."
They should probably use Mac Tonight again. After they settle the legal issues with the song Mack The Knife. Who wants to see Mac Tonight back in the spotlight again? I mean, his animatronics are still around in a handful of McDonald's.
I hate there commercials :edit Happy is a universe traveler, in many commercials he is seen in different universes interacting with there characters. This confirms that happy is a multiverse traveler Edit:2 I believe that in the universes he enters he either kidnaps or consumes the characters and that’s how they get into the happy meals
Now, I understand why this mascot never got my attention to McDonald's commercials. Everytime he used to appear there, I always felt that pretty cringe and a poor Minions' rip off.
I had a similar dream but life-sized ravioli was chasing me and the only thing it would say was "brrrrrrrrr" like it was cold. I was too scared to eat ravioli for a while as a kid. Looking back on it, this dream was hilarious
