That one picture of Mac Tonight is from a Five Nights at Freddy's fangame, where you're in a crashed mcdonald's cruise ship with Mcdonald's animatronics. This is not a joke.
Very nice work, as usual. I personally love Mac Tonight, he just looks so cool. Of course there is ST Pepsi's tune "Enjoy Yourself", and yeah that helps.
I just stumbled across your channel and man, it is awesome! The quality of video editing and narration is through the roof. You deserve way more subs and your content is the kind of thing my channel strives to be like. You post about a variety of very unique and often nuanced topics on internet culture all while remaining clean and PG. Your channel is amazing and I just wanted to point that out. Keep up the good work, you have earned a subscriber and hopefully many more to come! - Chef (The white guy in the pfp)
One of the last McDonalds with Speedee on the sign was recently demolished I believe. I don’t think it was an original one and was just themed after it.
The most terrifying mascot is the new McDonald's mascot a happy meal with eyes named "happy" he looks like he overdue on "sugar" he haunts me in my dreams I just hate it-
In the Netherlands we our own unique Mcdonals mascot for a brief time in the late 2000's. It was a secret agent named Bob who was on a mission for a rival fastfood company to uncover the secrets of Mcdonalds food (a la Plankton trying to get the krabby patty formula). In the comercials he would clumsily try to stealth his way into the restaurant and somehow fail to learn anything even with the personel just straight up handing him is order.
Mac Tonight was removed after a lawsuit against McDonald's, the son of the creator of Mac Tonight sued McD, they were Jewish, so that's why Mac Tonight is associated with the Moon Man that is actually pretty funny
As a kid I got knocked out by a frykid in the 80's when I ran into it on the outdoor playground and it split my head open and I bled everywhere. Still have a very noticible scar on my forehead nearly 35 years later
having a tv show based on a fast food chain is BRILLIANT. it just, seems like a nightmare, if it's an unhealthy product. so... If I were in marketing I would scream 'RUN IT!!" but.. it's scary the complaint was "It's not well marketed enough, fix your burgers." but fast food WAS healthier back then? idk. Im an idiot. Try prayin!
Actually, Grimace just didn't know any better back then; also given his size and weight, he'd actually *NEED* _all_ those beverages to stay properly hydrated. I got this theory from a video about Grimace, off of RUclips.
Kinda disappointed you didn't discuss Grimace, because after 30 years, I still don't know what the actual fuck he was supposed to BE. But I can't argue that Mac was a legend. I always associate him with Max Headroom for some reason.
the chicago cubs had the best mascot. most viscerally intestine-ripping of them all in all seriousness though, my favorite mcdonalds mascot has to be... (drumroll)... mac tonight. no question about it. it's a no-brainer. edit: fuck the guys who turned him into a hate symbol >:(
Back in 2007, on a then-popular website called YTMND, a fad depicting the character as a racist and a rapist using an AT&T text-to-speech engine started. It is often considered to be one of the factors that contributed to the site's decline and actually caused AT&T to block swear words from their text-to-speech engine. The meme saw a resurgence in 2015 thanks to the alt-right movement, who co-opted it in a similar vein to Pepe the Frog.
Yeah, after being let go by McDonald's and sued, he had a mental break down and became an extremely racist rapper called moon man, the alt right love his music.
@@CaptainKRB I think, as a content creator trying to provide fresh and interesting information and analysis, the onus is on you to an extent to familiarise yourself with the discourse around a topic which has existed prior to when you were born/entered the discussion. You don't see physicists making rudimentary mistakes about gravitation and then using the fact that they were born after 1687 as an excuse. I like your content a lot. I've been a subscriber for a while. I'm going to continue to watch and remain subscribed. I'm saying this as a fan. You're better than parroting boring moral majority soundbites.
Hey man. For one, '2006' wasn't me saying anything about dates of birth, it's just the default response I give to comments I have nothing to say to. But since you're persisting, I'll give you a better answer. I'm not parroting moral majorities; I wholeheartedly believe that McDonald's is a scummy company, one of the worst currently in operation. I'm not stating this simply because it's what I've heard, or because it 'seems right;' this is something I, along with everyone featured in this video, legitimately believe, and as such it's something we want to make abundantly clear. In fact, one of the intents of the outro segment was to draw attention towards the disparity between the soullessness of McDonald's as a corporation and the unusual vibrance of their mascots. I'm sorry if you don't approve, but as it stands this is my actual opinion and it's one I want to make clear to any viewers. Regardless, thanks for watching, hope you'll enjoy future videos more than this one.
If more people could associate Mac Tonight as a nostalgic icon of the era instead of a hate symbol, I think the world would be a better place
Mfw someone's poor taste joke influences history
We'd have flying cars by now, unfortunately though, the hateful brought the Great down.

Five nights at Mac tonight
Very nice work, as usual. I personally love Mac Tonight, he just looks so cool. Of course there is ST Pepsi's tune "Enjoy Yourself", and yeah that helps.
classic track
In a McDonald’s outside of my local movie theater they have a life sizes replica of Max Tonight playing the piano. It’s odd but very cool
Where is this, I must see
But where señor?
Where?
Somewhere in Virginia. Don’t want to say exact location but it’s close to DC
COOL
Mac Tonight should definitely make a comeback, nuff said.
As cool as that would be, I don't now if they could, because of the whole Moonman thing.
Mac Tonight will probably always be the best one to me
Mac Tonight is great, but he isn’t nearly as powerful as Ronald, cause he can McRoll you out of existence without even trying.

Just prior to the Moon Man incident, Mac Tonight DID make an official resurgence in Singapore in 2007, I think.
Shame he had to be ruined like that.
The most terrifying mascot is the new McDonald's mascot a happy meal with eyes named "happy" he looks like he overdue on "sugar" he haunts me in my dreams I just hate it-
Still have no idea why this channel isn’t at 4 million subs. Such great little documentaries

3:30 I thought this was dunkey for a second

Jesus Christ these are horrifying, I’m so glad I found your channel

im so glad that i found this channel
I am not!!!
@@chismiester1673 this feels like a celebrity just replied to me
:)
I am kinda disappointed that you didn’t talk about The Grimace, who originally was a villain with 4 arms.
I was debating doing that, as well as the 1971 Hamburglar, who was called 'The Lone Jogger,' but we had to cut a few in the interest of time

A coat you would see in a lab. So a lab coat then.

no question about it. it's a no-brainer.
edit: fuck the guys who turned him into a hate symbol >:(
underrated
Im sorry, like, can i get a direct link to that mcdonald wiki?
NGL. I actually liked the fry kids
This isn’t real, this seems like it should have at least 10k views, bruh
I remember I saw a old McDonalds and it still had speedee.
When our Captain uploads: MY FUCKEN FAVORITE
Can someone explain the whole deal with Mac Tonight/Moon Man being a hate symbol? I'd rather not look it up myself...

@@griffinlaw9367 I see. Thanks! So the moral of the story is that edgy kids ruin everything by trying to be funny.
@@ChoiceSnarf but it was funny it just got hijack like all good things
The guy who talked about the professor was awful
I love creepy mascots!💖💖💖💖💖💖
Yes
Neat
Haven't even watched the video yet
That moon was cool last time I saw him
Edit - why the fuck did you bash my boy the Noid!
Tricky madness combat
What the fuck
I read somewhere that mac tonight was actually racist
Yeah, after being let go by McDonald's and sued, he had a mental break down and became an extremely racist rapper called moon man, the alt right love his music.
POG
Dude, do your research Moon Man is a troll, he is not actually a hate symbol
pog
Moon man is the best mascot ever
Moon man moon man can't you see?
******* and ********* need to ****** ****** *******
Imagine using a meme that died years ago.
@@colmedy imagine me giving a fuck
@@MMAFrenzyHub bruh, literally when. That shitty hank steel meme basically replaced it
the oligarchs have us all in their palm
Had to give it a dislike for the basic bro moral majority unoriginal take at the end there. You can do better than that.
2006
I agree, I hate the professor bit in particular
Dinner of dubious origin
