  • A hamburger clown from a fantasy land, a deranged rabbit-man in spandex, and a whole lot of weird ethnic stereotypes were just a few of the casualties of changing food mascot culture.

    Look I'm Not Knocking Other Peoples Phobias I'm Afraid of Butterflies and Rats for example but the Clown Phobia I understand Stephen King's It Both 1990 & 2017 was the dumbest reason to axe Ronald MacDonald not all clowns are Evil look at Krusty The Clown from The Simpsons & Homey D. Clown from In Living Color he was funny

      The Television BOZO THE CLOWN was actually really funny. It took an Act of God for a kid to get on his show!! Shame that a lot of good Family-oriented Comics have had their livelihood denigrated over a couple of books & movies.🤠🖖🤡

    As I keep saying, I’d have thought coulrophobia was the reason McDonalds got rid of Ronald. Even if Grimace, Hamburglar and Birdie aren’t clowns, you can’t have them without Ronald, hence they too had to be ditched. If my theory’s right, I don’t know why people would miss Ronald, rather than be relieved he’s no longer the mascot. I remember seeing adverts, on UK TV (on channels like ITV), in July 1995 (three adverts I saw then), one in March 2001 (don’t know if the one I saw at the end of April 2001 was the same one from the month before), and one in 2004 (some time pre-May), featuring Ronald McDonald - all these adverts terrified me. I additionally remember, in one of the home video clips, on You’ve Been Framed, in November 1995 (one month before Dean Martin’s death), seeing a child dressed as a witch and wearing a Ronald McDonald mask - I must say, the Ronald McDonald mask terrified me more even than seeing the child dressed as a witch.

    Hamburglar still lives on radio, using his gibberish line, "Robble robble."
    I have seen Hamburglars hands on tv a few years ago.
    Maybe since their hamburgers may not be seen as the healthiest choice, they are trying to lure people who want to be naughty and bad by eating a triple cheeseburger?
    Or, maybe not?

    Quiznos did have one thing right. Annoying commercials are more likely to get people talking about your product. Or more people talking about how much they hate the commercials.

    I didn't really like any of the mascots but one McDonalds commercial always runs thru my mind when I'm looking thru my clothes closet, it's Ronald looking in his closet with about 15 of the exact same outfits saying “what to wear, what to wear?“ 😂

    Not one fast food company needed a mascot. I absolutely hated the McDonald's clown. McDonald's has a mascot, the golden arches. This timeline is a overly abusive pile of sh!t and i want to change so many things. Especially myself.
    Mac tonight? Really trippy, and it was cool. Seemed a bit too cool for McDonald's, it had a cosmic
    /atom punk theme.
    The bk kids club was cool though.
    Alright heres a updated review of all presented mascots.
    Ronald McDonald, weird, his whole cast was lame. Refined versions were ok actually what they should have done from the beginning then they wouldnt have been awful.
    The burger king? Honestl it was funny, and ok. Never should have ever of been in any games at all. And all the games he was in, were extremely lame bad weird games.
    The chihuahua was cool, and not offensive at all. Should have hired a Hispanic to voice him.
    Dominos had a mascot? Dude that thing is awful. Two thumbs way down to everything about him. Should have just had a domino topple over and bust open as a pizza box, boom, simple, genius, works.
    If theres anything i didnt quote, its because its so awful i dont even acknowledge its existence.
    Special mention, big boys, had a great mascot for a short while then he changed and got corrupted. Horrible. Had that mascot lasted, it could have had a tie in to fallout 4s vault boy for a limited edition promotion encouraging sales and a "bobble head" as a optional promotional item for purchase with a specific meal. The coca cola could have also done some tie ins with the fallout 4 nuka cola bottle, served with said theoretical meal. Million dollar idea.
