It was my late grandparents who introduced me to Lego when I was 3 years old. My Grandma just passed away over a week ago. RIP. And thank you Grandma & Grandpa for giving me what would become my hobby and collection to this day. =3
Impossible to miss the melancholic tone of the music. Especially, knowing that these adverts always have a tendency to show happiness in a certain way that sometimes is not attainable in the real-life.
Any time McDonalds sold Legos, I was so enthusiastic. I loved it when Toys R Us sold bagged Legos as well. There's something awesome about those classic Lego sets with the simple pieces. Like Lego Creator but way cheaper.
This video is scary. The way the old man is out of breath as a he speaks with an unsettling urgency. Seems like a damn episode of "Tales From The Darkside". After he finished his burger he probably turned into a monster and ate the children!
59 cents WOW that's cheap! They need to do this again it seems like a great idea! Lego helps creativity! Oh wait some kid will choke and we'll get sued never mind!
+BBC600 Yep. Common sense just went out the window in the decades that followed. I'm fully expecting cities everywhere to start giving citations to people who DARE to let their kids drink from the garden hose..
@idontcaremovies Heck yeah. In like 1990 a Value Meal was 2.99. It's almost doubled since then and most people aren't making anymore money than they were then.
These videos make me want to cry. I remember that shit, it was awesome. Happy meals are illegal now in some state(s). Our parents fucked this country up. Or did we do that?

Yep that was the whole point, to trigger your feelings so you'd buy their products.
59 cents is better than 5 bucks
That was the Past, Now, 25 Bricks are now 6 Dollars
You’ve just explained a reflection of better days.
@@BrendanMcClelland lul
@@_Midori and inflation’s a bitch.
More like 15 bucks
Love legos! They’ve been a big part of my childhood!!
I love Lego and McDonalds.
i probably still have those pieces somewhere in my parents basement. they've kept most of my childhood crap.
Lego aren't crap.

thanks for uploading, this is actually 1984!
I must say that the grandfather in this ad reminds me of one of my guinea pigs.
I'd still be buying happy meals if they came with legos.

@idontcaremovies
No, it was an extra 59 cents for the Lego's. The Happy Meal was 99 cents around this time. I remember as a kid.
DAMN they used to serve legos with a kids meal those are way better than shitty monster high or hot wheels
.59 ... back when the Happy Meal made the kids AND the parents happy ..
Grandpa said "Lego Pricks" LOL
*I said not yet grandpa*
My first Lego kit was from a McDonald's line in 1985, but it was a big spaceship, not one of those simplistic sets. Still have it! :)
Wow back then they gave you real toys.
Sweet memory.. ;(
59 cents WOW that's cheap! They need to do this again it seems like a great idea! Lego helps creativity! Oh wait some kid will choke and we'll get sued never mind!

Sets this size are 20 bucks these days
That was alot of money back then
In the 90s, they gave them away free with Happy Meals.
no,danny devito back then looks exactly as he does today, you would have easily recognized him
I’m so glad Grandpa got this LEGOs. Come on Granny give old Pa his LEGOs.
I could've sworn I just heard him say "Lego Pricks"
1986 was the last year Lego sets were made under license by Samsonite (here in USA the Samsonite agreement was terminated in 1972).
This is cute!!!
@idontcaremovies
Heck yeah. In like 1990 a Value Meal was 2.99. It's almost doubled since then and most people aren't making anymore money than they were then.
lol i love how u still had to pay for the real quality toys/hockey cards,
but the clearly cheap 'made in china' ones were just free.
I've been here for about a year. You get used to it. Hey, could you maybe throw me down a Lunchable or something?
back when mcdonalds had real fuckin toys in their happy meals
@ENDER1477
I know. It makes me want to cry as well!! Where has the time gone???
now, lego would sell that for five bucks
59 cents back then, now you'd pay 20 bucks for a set that same size
And awesome collector glasses :D
The sad part is they're probably dead now.
damn did mcdonalds use white castle burgers back then for the kids meals
This is when McDonald's was McDonald's back in the 50s 60s 70s 80s and 90s...today it's McNastys.
I forgot all about those! LOL I think I had all of them.
I got the airplane set that year, and had it for many years afterwards.
awww that's such a cute commercial
Omg. Omg. Omg. Did that guy just say lego pricks? Lmfao
That Happy Meal looks delicious.
The same thing would cost like $3.99 today.
see how big that meal was? Man they super sized the shit outta a kids meal >.>
This is the Canadian commercial.
did he say "do you need help with those lego pricks??"
The Lego was 59 cents, not the actual food.
0:19 There's a fuck, a thing, a HELLicopter, and a shit.
So they only include 5 bricks, and the kids can't decide what to build?
The size of the happy meal though
isn't it amazing how people actually portioned their food?
RIP Grandpa
and why does the grandpa think they need help on about 6 legos?
They don't make commercial like this anymore. :(
He looks like my grandpa!
Atleast in my area they serve poni.
why cant time travel be popssible?
