History WesternAnimation / TheWackyAdventuresOfRonaldMcdonald

* AnAesop: One for most of the videos.
** '''The Legend of Grimace Island''': Have faith in yourself.
** '''Visitors From Outer Space''': Appreciate your friends and what you have, and don't lie to them.
** '''Have Time, Will Travel''': It's best to get the hard work out of the way before having fun.
** '''The Monster O'[=McDonaldland=] Loch''': Some things have to be kept secret and you can't assume that everyone who doesn't know you will hate you.

* AmbiguouslyGay: In "Have Time, Will Travel", after King Murray is accidentally stripped and left in his tighty whities in front of Ronald's gang and the Royal Court, the King's head knight appears to peak through his fingers at the king, even after ordering everyone else to cover their eyes and look away to spare the king any embarrassment.

* VagueAge: It is difficult to determine how old Birdie and Hamburglar are supposed to be in this continuity. The evidence suggesting that they may be kids like Franklin and Tika includes Hamburglar being around Franklin and Tika's height, Birdie being even shorter than how she appears in the standard [=McDonaldland=] advertisements and ''Visitors from Outer Space'' showing Birdie attend a karate class where the other students are clearly children (assuming Birdie isn't simply the token adult student of the class like WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo). The evidence in favor of Birdie and Hamburglar being adults includes neither of them being indicated to attend school or live under adult supervision and ''Birthday World'' showing them de-age into toddlerhood like the rest of the [=McDonaldland=] gang as opposed to babies who can barely walk and talk like Tika and Franklin (which suggests that Ronald and friends are supposed to be around the same age).

* TheHerosBirthday: ''Birthday World'' centers around Ronald's birthday and was actually made to commemorate the character's "birthday" in real life.

* FramingDevice: All six videos have the animated portions bookended by live-action segments with Ronald [=McDonald=], who in the first three videos have the segments consist of him interacting with an animatronic suit of Sundae as well as monitors displaying CGI animations of Tika, Hamburglar, Grimace and Birdie and [[ToonTransformation transforming into an animated version of himself has he jumps into a ball pit to signify transition to the animated portion]], while the last three videos instead depict live-action Ronald as having already experienced the adventure before starting a projector to show the audience the animated portion, interactions with other characters here being almost excised with the exception of Sundae's voice being heard from off-screen in "Visitors from Outer Space" and "The Monster O'[=McDonaldland=] Loch".

* IHeardThat: The closing live-action segment of "Visitors from Outer Space" has Sundae complain "I heard that" after Ronald remarks that Hamburglar and trouble go together like Sundae with a chewbone. Ronald gives the defense that he was only joking.

* VileVillainSaccharineShow: Professor Pinchworm's actually got a pretty nasty evil plan when it comes down to it. He wants to rule the world by turning the world's population besides himself into infants, leaving him as the only adult. He's basically asking for the extinction of humanity, who will be reduced to relatively helpless infants. And he also has a robotic attack dog that not only tries to eat the younger gang, but presumably eats ''him'' at the end of the short (and after he had been de-aged into infancy himself).

* OffModel:
** As the series went on, the colorations of the [=McNuggets=] became more inconsistent, and it sounded like the three swapped voices between each other as a result. Scared Silly was consistent with the red [=McNugget=] being the TokenGirl of the three, the purple [=McNugget=] sounding like a lower-voiced and less nasally version of the Hamburglar (due to both being voiced by [[Creator/CharlieAdler Charlie Adler]]) and the blue [=McNugget=] sounding like a preteen or young teenage boy. If Scared Silly wasn't the starting point for viewers, they might be confused as to which [=McNugget=] was supposed to have which voice.
** There are some shots in "Birthday World" after the gang have become toddlers where Ronald's gloves are mistakenly colored white instead of yellow.
** The animators at times appear to have trouble making up their minds on whether Hamburglar's teeth should be visible.

* EvenTheLovingHeroHasHatedOnes: Ronald as always is friendly and hardly gets mad at anyone, but becomes visibly angry when facing Professor Pinchworm in "Birthday World".

* ToiletHumour: "Birthday World" has a few potty jokes after the gang are de-aged into toddlers and infants, which includes Sundae as a puppy wondering if he's still housebroken and immediately putting a newspaper beneath himself, Sundae excusing himself after observing they're surrounded by bushes and grinning mischievously (implying he intends to pee on the bushes) and Ronald's addressing of the urgency that they thwart Pinchworm's scheme ending with him bringing up that Tika is on the verge of dirtying her diaper.

** Hamburglar outright notes the absurdity of [[OneMillionBC cavemen living contemporaneously with dinosaurs]] in "Have Time, Will Travel".
