That is indeed John Fiedler doing the voice over. Fiedler was the voice of Piglet (Pooh was Sterling Holloway) and played Mr Peterson on the Bob Newhart Show.
I like how the Hamburglar tries to steal form Ronald so Ronald just gives him a hamburger anyways after he's stopped him. I guess it's okay to steal stuff in McDonald Land. :P
does anyone remember a mcdonald's commercial from early 90's, i think? it kids in different fantasies...a kid saying "I WANT TO BE A CIRCUS STAR!" and a kid in knight's armor saying, "UNHAND MY SISTER!" i would really love to see this one. i'm sure it's to be found, i'm just having trouble. thank you!
HAHAH! All these years and I had NO IDEA why he said that. I thought it was 'rubble, rubble' and was like "yep.. these burgers DO taste like rubble. Well spotted, hamburglar." ^.^
I even know why Hamburglar said yipes he thinked: "that impossible i try get some burgers and look robble robble! I'm wearing an outfit that looks an prison uniform."
@AJNitr0 I think ever since the health craze recently rolled in, Parents started keeping thier kids away from Mcdonalds. so the advertisements of Mcdonalds are now trying to win over the adult community more then the kids nowadays. Thats just what I think, I might be wrong. Have you seen the Wacky adventures of Ronald McDonald? they're pretty good, they are made by the same people who made Rugrats. that short series brought alot of the classic characters back for a short time.
@AJNitr0 Because the characters were ripoffs on the Krofft's and they sued McDonald's and eventually won over the blatant copyright infringement in these commercials.
@AJNitr0 Same here! I remember in the 90's they used to give out the toys for these characters with the happy meals. I miss that!! And I miss dressing up like these characters with my cousins for Halloween. We would always come up with story lines for them, too lol.
I think they only do live action commercials these days to promote philanthropy McDonald's is associated with, like Little Athletics and Ronald McDonald House.
I much prefered it back when Ronald lived in McDonalds Land and had all these friends, and his ads were only for kids shown in the morning. I hate today's McDonald's ads, with Ronald walking around in real life talking to people and playing basketball and all that bullshit!
@AJNitr0 yeah, the whole child obesity discourse kinda put a damper on them...the purple creature dude, yeah, he used to be a little kid, then he espoused the mcdonalds diet...
Where is Grimace these days?? now it's all fucking harry potter and slut dolls, I WANT GRIMACE TO COME BACK!! AND UNCLE O'GRIMACEY (Grimace's irish uncle)!!
I like how Hamburgler introduced himself to Ronald while stealing from him. A theif, yes, but a polite one.
I felt a warm feeling inside when Ronald gave Hamburgler a burger, good times, they don't make em like this any more.Long live the spirit of the past.
"We don't care that you just tried to rob us! Here's a freakin' hamburger!"
WTF?
Is the narrator the guy who voiced piglet from whiney the pooh. sounds like him :P
"Nice soup!"
-Grimace
That is indeed John Fiedler doing the voice over. Fiedler was the voice of Piglet (Pooh was Sterling Holloway) and played Mr Peterson on the Bob Newhart Show.
When I was younger Ronald McDonald touched me.
It's Piglet from Winne the Pooh!
Narrater-" And the Hamburglar came oh so near.
Oh dear, oh d d d d dear dear."
I know, that sort of stunk. But the narrater sounded like Piglet.
Hamburglar no hamburglaring. Hamburglar no hamburglaring!
STOP!!! STOP!!! HE'S ALREADY DEAD!!!
I like how the Hamburglar tries to steal form Ronald so Ronald just gives him a hamburger anyways after he's stopped him. I guess it's okay to steal stuff in McDonald Land. :P
Swiper no swiping, swiper no swiping, SWIPER NO SWIPING.....AHHHHHHH, MAAAAAAAAANNNNNN!!!!!!
lol at my school i walked round a corner and there was this ronald mcdonald getting out of this red car and i screamed as loud as i could and ran away
LMFAO!!! Piglet's the Narrator!!!!
nothing can kill the grimace
Piglet is doing the voiceover because they threatened to make A ribwich out of him. True story.
If the hamburglar only knew that there would be a dollar menu someday.
Here's a question, is the hamburglar a guy in a black suit with white stripes or a guy in a white suite with black stripes??? The world may never know
At the beggining of 2007 (which to me was such an awesome year) this thing about living in the 90s came to me including mcdonalds ads like this one
Hamburgler should never say more than "rubble rubble" or whatever it is he says. The mask killed that character. Too cutesy.
"A census taker tried to test me once; I ate his liver with fries and a triple thick shake (rabble rabble!)."
I see the hamburgler was using similar tactics as Wile E. Coyote
wow
pause at 0:23
that clown is scarier than pennywise from "IT"
bring back the hamburglar!
why is it being narrated by piglet??
does anyone remember a mcdonald's commercial from early 90's, i think? it kids in different fantasies...a kid saying "I WANT TO BE A CIRCUS STAR!" and a kid in knight's armor saying, "UNHAND MY SISTER!" i would really love to see this one. i'm sure it's to be found, i'm just having trouble. thank you!
PIGLET'S VOICE!
HAHAH! All these years and I had NO IDEA why he said that. I thought it was 'rubble, rubble' and was like "yep.. these burgers DO taste like rubble. Well spotted, hamburglar."
^.^
is that the guy who voiced piglet narrating?
He did escape from jail. This is just the McDonald's spin machine trying to clean up his shady past.
I even know why Hamburglar said yipes he thinked: "that impossible i try get some burgers and look robble robble! I'm wearing an outfit that looks an prison uniform."
hamburglar...wow the reason for the stripes was he was in prison, but that too "bad" for the kiddies D:

LMAO!! The hamburglar!!
Well you can't tell little kida about jail, now can you?
Uhg!
@AJNitr0 Because the characters were ripoffs on the Krofft's and they sued McDonald's and eventually won over the blatant copyright infringement in these commercials.
I remember seeing this in the mid-90s (although this was actually dubbed for the Australian market)
@AJNitr0 Same here! I remember in the 90's they used to give out the toys for these characters with the happy meals. I miss that!! And I miss dressing up like these characters with my cousins for Halloween. We would always come up with story lines for them, too lol.
Because it probably is Piglet, AKA actor John Fiedler.
@AJNitr0 i know. wasnt even born yet when this was around but its cute and now i want a burger :P
Nice! I haven't seen this in years.
I think they only do live action commercials these days to promote philanthropy McDonald's is associated with, like Little Athletics and Ronald McDonald House.
@AJNitr0 Because they were sued by the Krofft brothers for ripping off their show from the 70's (H. R. Pufnstuf). Look it up on wikipedia.
What ever happened to grimaces extra appendages? lol
@ScratStitch
Kinda of sounds like Radar from M.A.S.H
WHy did they stop using these guys? Everyone loved McDonaldland!
WOW!
That does actually!
(Well spotted)!!
its a great advert
@RayRoark2009
That is a very interesting way of looking at it!
i thought the hamburger just put on a striped shirt...
the the family guy when it's role playing night and louis is dressed as grimace.
Probably someone who blamed their obesity on McDonalds also blamed the characters, sued them and won.
LoL. hamburglar tried to steal the burgers right before ronald and grimace's eyes.
...uh ...because it's the same guy that did the voice for piglet?
Hamburglar was so pathetic that they couldn't even get angry with him
becuse john fidler voiced piglet and voice the narrator in some mcdonalds commercials in the 80's
I much prefered it back when Ronald lived in McDonalds Land and had all these friends, and his ads were only for kids shown in the morning.
I hate today's McDonald's ads, with Ronald walking around in real life talking to people and playing basketball and all that bullshit!
i miss all of these characters i think they still used these characters up until i was 5
Oh I thought he escaped from jail
Is that Radar narrating this commercial?
becuse john fidler did the voice of piglet and the narrator for mcdonalds.
nothing can kill the GRIMACE!
Yeah!!
I know
Rubble rubble
lmao! ronald mcdonald rocks. dont screw with him he will rip your clothes
I don't believe that for a second. We all know Hamburglar did.......other things. We don't talk about them.
comedylover I was just about to comment that. Its definitely piglet from Pooh Corner.
@MattTheSaiyan i know same here! its cute and now i want a burger really badly :P
Hamburgular reminds me of Chucky o-o
Yeah, I thought the narrator was John Fiedler a.k.a. Piglet.
Hamburglar escape in con air nicalos cage forgot to catch him
Did Grimace sy; Nice suit or nice food at 0:29
@AJNitr0 They stopped using these characters cus' lazy town is using them now
Hamburglar Strips
Reminds me of Kure Kure Takora.
i love the moral behind this one...steal from innocent passers-by, and you will be rewarded!
I'm concerned about Grimace.
se parece a mi amigo roberto salas
dammit i thought he was an ex con :(
patrick star is gremas's cousin
clearly someone the story writer was blazin
Is that Piglet Narrating?
ahh the classic what the crud happen to them they onbly show ronald these days
@AJNitr0 Probably cuz they scared children back then....and all they wanted was a darn Happy Meal!
@AJNitr0 yeah, the whole child obesity discourse kinda put a damper on them...the purple creature dude, yeah, he used to be a little kid, then he espoused the mcdonalds diet...
Piglet?
ill stop this hamburglar
The starfish from spongebob is clearly a rip off of Grimace.
WTF..it's Piglet! XD
don't mess with Ronald or he'll make you look like a criminal
