McDonald’s commercials that’s the lone
jogger
he likes Mikado’s breakfast queue number
10
Donald Trump meets grimace I’ve put
together some really impressive deals
but this thing you pulled off it’s
amazing it’s surreal to think that the
45th President of the United States was
in a McDonald’s commercial way back when
what makes this even more unbelievable
is that he starred alongside grimace
donald trump is completely blown away
upon learning that mcdonald’s only
charges one dollar for big and tasty and
grimace is apparently the mastermind
behind this amazing deal although even
he seems unclear on how exactly
McDonald’s pulled it off nevertheless
Trump is eager to join forces with the
purple monster together grimace we could
own this town maybe he’ll offer grimace
a position in his administration let’s
be honest weirder things have happened
number 9 cha cha slide everybody clap
your hands clap this commercial opens
with a family sitting at a fancy dinner
table in formal attire which is ironic
considering they’re eating fast food
seriously how many grown men do you know
that eat Mickey D’s while wearing a
white collar invest then out of nowhere
a kid emerges with a boombox playing DJ
Casper’s cha cha slide slide to the
right slide to the left
crisscross the hip-hop kid dipped some
apple slices while simultaneously
dancing along to the music the family
isn’t sure what to make of this at first
but dad eventually gets into it in my
be random but this ad is undeniably
funky encouraging us all to play with
our food all the way to the flow I’m at
y’all number eight
feed the wastebasket you sure you stop
and think about what to do when you do
some McDonald’s commercial feel like
many episodes of pee-wee’s Playhouse why
don’t you help yourself impart their
wacky colorful and literally anything
can be a character for example his
commercial centers on sentient
wastebaskets it begins with Ronald
McDonald reminding us to feed the hungry
trash cans your wrappers cups and bags
mine have the paper please finish the
bowtie-wearing bins then spring to life
and sing an empowering jingle about
wastebasket awareness as if that’s not
weird enough mcdonald’s also gave out
wastebasket toys around the same time
this commercial came out yeah because
that’s what every kid wants to play with
trash bins still it is hard to fault an
advertisement that encourages proper
waste disposal and gets its message
across in a creative way don’t forget to
feet away number 7 Captain crooks
crooked schemes are all the crooked
pirates trying one of his cookin scheme
many villains have visited the
psychedelic MacDonald land over the
years but Captain crook is definitely
among the strangest making his debut in
1971 this recurring character looked a
lot like Captain Hook except with googly
eyes and an expressionless face give me
some of those like God knows I have a
vibe in this especially bizarre
commercial captain crook arms himself
with a wooden sword and tiny cannon the
diabolical pirate won’t let Ronald and
Little Jimmy cross the bridge unless
they fork over some apple pies and so
Ronald devises an elaborate ruse to best
the pirate he supplied crook with a
phony apple pie treasure map sending him
on a wild goose chase yep it’s just
another day in McDonald land where those
apple pie well he gets what’s coming to
him we’ll go get some triple thick
shakes
apple pies at McDonald same time number
six the dinner gong
hi professor what’s up the professor is
another obscure McDonald’s character
that hit the scene in the early 70s in
this Daini commercial the professor
shows off his latest invention the
dinner Gong of course this isn’t the
most innovative invention since gongs
have been around for a few millennia on
top of that his dinner Gong still has a
few bugs to work out
Ronald and the professor even enlist
Mayor McCheese for help once they
finally get the Gong working they treat
themselves to a meal at McDonald’s and
go out on a cheesy pun where else will
we have by the way are we the only ones
that find it disturbing that Mayor
McCheese is eating at a restaurant that
sells hamburgers number five what if
turks invented hamburgers if we had made
the first fight he would have stuffed
appreciative of eating hailing from
Turkey this commercial imagines what the
world would be like if the Turks had
created several inventions first they
cover everything from the first fire to
man’s first walk on the moon to the
first robot if you had made the Fox
trouble
we’d never to make the second one to
predict to humankind
finally they imagined a world where the
Turks made the first hamburger in a
nutshell you’d get the max burger a
spicy Turkish Delight batons and garlic
all in a secret we have a feeling that
you probably have to be Turkish to
understand all the jokes here even if
some of the humor throws you for a loop
though it’s hard not to laugh at just
how odd this commercial is number four
Sega electronic games are big on those
two second years as a tie-in for Sonic
Heroes McDonald’s released several
handheld electronic games with happy
meals and just as the games were pretty
cheap the same can be said about this
abnormal commercial started for just
look at how lifeless the animation is
it’s like they started rendering some
early test animation and then gave up
halfway through rouge the bat isn’t even
wearing any clothes maybe this would
have been acceptable during the 90s but
this ad came out in the early 2000s
this is definitely
of Sonic the Hedgehog’s most awkward
moments which is saying a lot given some
of his recent games just a McDonald this
psychic in Rye number 3 tomato MIT
grande sporting red hair Hungarian model
agatha vargas stars in this japanese
commercial for the tomato makrand her
costumes which were designed by Yohji
Yamamoto clearly resemble Ronald
McDonald wardrobe do we even need to
explain why this is weird on so many
levels Ronald McDonald has got to be the
least sexual being in existence the idea
of the character inspiring a hot female
equivalent is simply mind-boggling as a
result this commercial isn’t as
stimulating as the advertisers likely
intended it to be
let’s just hope this doesn’t become a
trend at cosplay conventions happy meals
aren’t sexy and that’s just the way we
like them number two
Tooth Fairy oh that’s me when I lost my
first two commercials featuring Ronald
McDonald rarely makes sense but this
particular one raises numerous questions
looking at a photo album
Ronald reminisce about losing his first
tooth he naturally leaves it under his
pillow for the tooth fairy
it looks like Berta from Two and a Half
Men she’s a nice kid but just not you
know red-hot simpleton with no
self-respect
the following morning Ronald doesn’t
find money but does find a pair of red
clown shoes why does she leave him shoes
what’s the connection between teeth and
footwear we don’t know but Ronald has
collected enough shoes to last a
lifetime
oh and did we mention that the shoes are
living creatures that Ronald keeps
prisoner in his closet we thought the
wastebaskets had a bleak existence
number one Mac tonight cafface created
to help increase business around
dinnertime this outlandish character
came complete with a crescent moon head
and a crooner persona his sunglasses
wearing oddball could often be found
playing his piano on clouds singing a
variation of Bobby Darrin’s classic
interpretation of Mack the Knife
in fact Mack tonight shared so much in
common with Darrin that McDonald’s faced
a lawsuit from his estate these ads were
trippy to say the least but that’s
largely why they continued to stick with
dad that’s not come out yeah well while
I’m going you’ll do what he said plus
this was a breakthrough role of sorts
for performer Doug Jones who went on to
appear in multiple Guillermo del Toro
movies not weird do you agree with our
picks check out these other great clips
