Did you know DreamWorks planned to make animated commercials for McDonalds? The ad campaign was going to star Ronald McDonald and his family. His son would have been the focus. The project was scrapped when parents complained to DreamWorks for using their characters like Shrek to promote unhealthy food.
>>155018946>promote unhealthy food.maybe they should stop buying that slop instead of blaming a company for selling their product
>>155018946>The project was scrapped when parents complained to DreamWorks for using their characters like Shrek to promote unhealthy food.Shrek isn't the fattest Dreamworks animation character.
>>155019021I LIKE 'EM BIG
>>155018993You're not wrong. Parents go after companies for what they do to their kids, but like... lil timmy isn't the one driving himself to mcdonalds.
>>155018946>>155018993>>155019021>>155019107A senator got involved when Dreamworks licensed Shrek to Twinkies. The growing pressure made them to pull out from different licensing projects for food.
>>155019021Dreamworks embraced The Architect way before we ever did
>>155018946milf clussy or hebe clussy? the choice is yours, anon.
>>155018946
>>155019221Nice to see you around, Magi. Mrs. McDonald is looking good.
>>155019132he couldn't have chosen a lewder poster.
>>155019221Her ass need to be super sized.
>>155019027>where's the ogre filling?>>155019174Long live the architect.
>>155019221good job
Ran Ran Ru!
>>155019444they knew what they had. they should be disappointed for not taking it further
sex with clown wife
>>155018946McDonaldlang gang > these creatures
>>155019594I mean grimace tops all, figuratively and literally.
>>155018946Ronald's wife should be a mime, and his daughter should not be Bazz from Concorde
>>155018946d'y'think if this actually came to pass, there'd be people complaining about ronald's mcoffspring replacing grimace
>>155018946They share too many elements and it's making me see them as stages of development. Like Ronald originally hatched as a squirrel larva and molted into a clown.
>>155019594>>155019696The other McDonalds characters probably would have made appearances in the ads.
>>155019748>Ronald originally hatched as a squirrel larva and molted into a clownsentences that will only ever be spoken once, ever
>>155019756They hatch from fertilized Happy Meals. The fries and nuggies are their equivalent yolk, nourishing the embryo until it's strong enough to punch out the top.
>>155019896I am frowning as hard as I can right now.
>>155018946>parents complained to DreamWorks for using their characters like Shrek to promote unhealthy food. Which is retarded since parents are responsible for what their children eat. It's your fault if you're willingly buying them junk.
>>155020407shrek wasn't even a "kid" movie. the first one anyway
Whatever happened to Ronald McDonald anyway? Clown mascots too scary these days?
>>155020454They partially retired Ronald because parents also complained about him being used to market unhealthy food to children.
>>155018946>Ronald Mcdonald has a bastard child because his wife went on a mad one and cucked him with a squirrel
>>155020454Every so often he's still allowed to show up in stuff, just not as much as back in the day.They did these shorts last year and he was there:https://youtu.be/aqO_Zw4bkrIhttps://youtu.be/-HqOC6skeCEhttps://youtu.be/FnneW9xvYI8https://youtu.be/fXvEvcTGNPMhttps://youtu.be/JBcKBaBQ5Oohttps://youtu.be/VlE3RGe1qyY>>155020466Yeah, but now McDonald's marketing is geared more towards older teens and young adults, leaning more towards the nostalgia for these characters rather than trying to make these guys seem like they're friends of the kids or something.
>>155018946They still haven't reached the absolute peak of Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald and Idk if they ever will.
>>155020522was that one of those klasky csupo movies
>>155018946Ronald McDonald's wife isn't fat enough.
>>155020466Seems like a weird thing to blame Ronald specifically for. Any marketing McDonald's does inevitably markets unhealthy food to children.
>>155020691Stupid parents want corpos to raise their children.
>>155020454"Supersize me" happened
>>155020907retards like you love to bring this up but its effect was negligible. if you're a fat slob who wants mcdonalds, you're gonna go there regardless of some documentary
>>155018946Anyone remember Erin Esurance? She had a good design. People say she was discontinued because the company noticed all the porn. Is there proof that was the official reason? Disney is aware of the porn people make and they don't retire anyone over it.
>>155021812>People say she was discontinued because the company noticed all the pornI've heard this as well, but on the same docket I just haven't heard of esurance at all since they got rid of her. It seems more likely that the company died. Also Erin was how I found the rule 34 website. Still going there to this day. Thanks Erin.
>>155021794t. Morgan Spurlock
>>155021881>In 2024, Spurlock died at age 53 due to complications related to cancer.Apparently he was also a rapist
>>155021868Erin Esurance is shockingly historically signficant.
>>155022022tons of esurance futa porn I'm seeing
>>155018946I guess some mascots are meant to have families more than others.
>>155020907it was proven that the documentary was highly exaggerated.
>>155020466>They partially retired Ronald because parents also complained about him being used to market unhealthy food to children.thats bullshit.. it was cause of the clown scare many years ago, so they pulled him from public appearances and TV.
>>155022220Yeah, but everyone took it at face value at first, that shit was being unironically shown in schools man.
>>155022236Clown scares happened back in the 90s, but it likely also contributed to the character's retirement.
>>155022203>Tube! Tuba!Ahem...
>>155019132>Shrek is so influential he was a topic of discussion in the Congress of the United States of AmericaPretty based
>>155022424>why a clown?The guy who created Ronald McDonald noticed kids were fascinated by clowns and burgers together.>At the time, Bozo was the hottest children's show on the air. You could probably have sent Pluto the Dog or Dumbo the Elephant over and it would have been equally as successful. But I was there, and I was Bozo ... There was something about the combination of hamburgers and Bozo that was irresistible to kids ... That's why when Bozo went off the air a few years later, the local McDonald's people asked me to come up with a new character to take Bozo's place. So, I sat down and created Ronald McDonald.
>>155018946The original design for Ronald McDonald is in the public domain. McDonald's trademark only prevents you from using him as a mascot to sell burgers.
>>155022861The more traditional clown nose looks better I think, but I do think having a cup for a nose is kind of clever.
>>155018946Why does the daughter have child-bearing hips?
>>155018946Companies can be based by making their mascots attractive.
>>155023049fixed it for ya
>>155020522>>155020579The legacy of the Klasky Csupo movies seems to mainly just be Sundae the dog, he got to show up in the Lost in McDonaldland series and was added to the classic McDonaldland from the 70s when they brought that back.
>>155022945>child-bearing hipswhy indeed
>>155018946>just fucking tattoos the corporate logo on his kid's facesNow THAT is dedication to the brand.
>>155020454They replaced him with pic related
>>155023377They even did it to the squirrel.
>>155023407I don't think they use this thing anymore. The illumination minions trend is kind of dead.
>>155023377>>155023421cyberpunk type shit
>>155019221based
>>155023407I know you guys don't keep up with McDonald's usage of their mascots, but Ronald has been getting a bit more use lately.Meanwhile, I think Happy is genuinely gone for good, can't think of anyone who liked that shit.>>155023433Funny how Happy was created by the Illumination CEO.
>>155023488>Funny how Happy was created by the Illumination CEO.Whether or not that is true, I choose to believe it because of how trash it is. It checks all of the boxes.
Enough about Ronald, thoughts on the King? Do you think BK could ever bring him back? Or are they too afraid of looking like they're copying McDonald's a bit too much?
>>155023488He still shows up in happy meal adds here in Australia so I just assumed it was the same in America
>>155023566That stupid ass promo they did with xbox had no right to be as good as it was. Sneak King is a genuinely good game.
>>155023566#NOMOREKINGS
>>155022726Either use McHood, or McMotherfucker, but don't skip all the chances to use Mc in a meme with Ronald Mcdonald
>>155024017LOL... do it yourself stupid, I aint your personal meme creator
>>155023407
>>155023407>>155024471I never liked that thing.
>>155018993Maybe corporations should stop colluding to exploit addictions.
>when you ain't lovin it no more
>>155022241Yeah, but it was pretty fucking funny at times. When I was in highschool they showed it one year and everyone complained that it just made them want fucking McDonalds, especially since Michelle's "healthy eating" shit had hit our broke ass school district and thus all of the poor broke kids were basically on starvation rations.One of the rich kids who's dad owned a car dealership as part of a complicated ass tax evasion scheme retaliated by just enmass ordering McD's every day for the next year and a half and just handed that shit out. You ever seen a football team turn into one guy's personal fucking hitsquad? Because those broke ass niggers basically swore themselves to him for fucking life for the price of a quarterpounder with cheese and a large fry a day.
>>155024513it was a stupid move by McDicks
>>155024513No one did seems like they are replacing it with grimace
>>155023049Someone should draw her with Buc-ee the beaver.
>>155019221Im lovin it
>>155020454>>155020466yeah it was really weird growing up seeing ronalds buddies in commercials then just him and then there was that stretch where they didn't show his face iircthe other characters only really started reappearing in like 2015 or so with the hamburglar guyeven weirder was getting older and looking back and learning I grew up with an already truncated mcdonald group after it was reduced to like hamburglar, grimace, and the bird and ronald himselfI didn't know until I was an adult there were a lot beforeAnd being 100% honest I thought mayor mccheese was a family guy invention
>>155012109Not sure how "marketable" it is but this is what I came up with.
>>155025914good job
>>155025100But then Buc-ees will sue that gas station. It's a wonder they haven't already.
something you don't see everyday: the mascot for a filipino brand of asian noodles and seasoning

>>155026263Fuck does that have to do with a noodle soup mascot?
>>155026215Wholesome <3
>>155026139They don't like people using a yellow circle with animal mascots.

>>155026958I need someone to explain this, respectfully.
>>155027033I mean, I like to think they're retractable like Stitch's arms, but your guess is as good as mine.It's just one of them McDonaldland mysteries.
>>155027077>It's just one of them McDonaldland mysteries.The way you phrased this makes me feel like it needs an ironic iceberg video
Real Texasfags know.
>>155018993Anon doesnt know about poor pepo. Oh wait mcdonalds isnt even cheap anymore
>>155013836And there we go, I believe that's all.
>>155027217Thank you for your service, you're the best.
>>155027217Is there a coke girl?We need all the cola cuties squaring off over who has the best soft drink.

>>155025100Ok, what exactly is Buc-ee's? I've seen more people wear shirts of it recently and it's in various parts of the US. Does it serve really good food or something?
>>155026205>that designCould be worse. Mexico has (or had, idk if they still exist) some taco restaurants in Acapulco where the mascot is pic related. I remember seeing them as early as 2004.
>>155018946The woman design looks like shit and out of place for clown. More like a whore than clown for something that I guess was trying to be humorous.but...>>155019221this is good. Sexy and creepy in a way cool. Maybe as a stand lone thing, this kind of shit would've been the bomb.
>>155024519All corporate charters need to be revoked globally to save our civilization and a future for our children.
>>155027365>what exactly is Buc-ee's?it's a gas station + fast food. if you know what wawa is, it's the same thing

Local gas chain got rid of their wolf man mascot, which was a shame.I always imagined he came about because some higher said "My son loves drawing animal guys! He can make our mascot for twenty bucks!"
>>155027365Just a gas station. It's trying to punch above it's weight class by making it's stores into a spectacle so people come check them out or purposely seek them out. Often their chains are massive in size. Four or Five times the gas pumps of normal locations and what should be a mini-mart shop component is often larger then small and midsize grocery stores. Filled with specialized food items, novelties, and plenty of brand themed merchandise. As well as a few services like a in store restaurant. They also boast having really big and super clean restrooms but this is usually one of the more over hyped aspects.Lately they've become known for how aggressively they try to sue everyone. Most often it's other gas stations with anything even remotely similar to their brand. Big store? They're copying the Buc-ee iconic shops!Nice restrooms? Only Buc--ee's have good toliets!Any logo that has the color yellow on it and a smiling mascot? Buc-ee's invented the color yellow and mascots that smile! >>155027402 is 100% the kind of thing they sue over they will argue that logo is a rip off of their's.It was just stupid territorial lawsuits at first but now they're even throwing lawsuits at businesses that aren't even close to gas stations or located in markets within 100 miles of their stores.They've got a new one recently aimed at a locally owned independent convenience store in a town called "Beaver Creek" for daring to be called The Beaver Mart. despite nothing about their story appearing to relate to Buc-ee's and the shop being nowhere near any existing Buc-ee's so they can't even claim the shop is in competition with them.They just love to sue.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzlLbYH4_Vw>>155027864Probably trying to dodge Buc-ee's
Little monkey fella
>>155026720>would you consider this tasteful?Very much, this is framed in a very artistic way, great job.
>>155023566It would work against their new slogan which is "You Rule".
The only semblance of Ronald left is when they reference his friends in promo items or with that Ronald Mcdonald Charity thing.

>>155021868esurance was only popular because of Erin, nobody actually used them
>>155022022what's interesting is the cause of her discontinuation wouldn't happen today. Google so aggressively downranks pornographic search results that you'd never see something like 'Erin Esurance shitting dicknipples' on the front page of a search for her ever again no matter how popular such a subject would be. go look her up right now and you'll see; there's more porn of her now than ever before and she's less relevant as a corporate mascot than she ever was before, yet all the Google results are just links to the Wikipedia page and YouTube clips of the commercials.
