New McDonalds Mascot

As if it wasn't horrific enough already.

I've come to the conclusion that whoever designed this really hates either children or healthy food. Or perhaps both.

Never mind the confusion over a product mascot that is essentially selling itself to you for you to disembowel it, eat its innards, and then toss its empty corpse in the trash next to your dog's shit and last week's leftovers.

I'm a critical person but I'm a nice guy when you get to know me. Now, I should be writing.

I love hearing that people will stop eating at Mc Donalds After THIS... Sad, but necessary. all about voting with our wallets... And eating better food in general, IMHO.

Even if I had different face, I AM STILL DISGRACED.

...Dammit, you nearly made me spit my drink onto my keyboard.

a pure case of All Children Are Morons in the eyes of execs.

EX - FUCKING - ACTLY.

BTW, this is now on Toonzone - I simply just had to spread the pain today.

@Lance:

I dunno, that's a pretty fucking metal way of describing it.

Locking you up on radar since '09

Well, it ain't wrong. It IS a product that has been personified into its own mascot to sell itself to you, which the consumer interaction with said product is opening it up, eating its contents, and then promptly throwing away everything else.

Is that any worse than, say, when they brought the Chicken McNuggets themselves to life? Let's see if I can find a video...

The odd thing about all this is that this comes at the same time Mc Donald's is trying to skew its marketing toward the older, more alternative crowd like redesigning some Mc Cafes, and putting Ronald Mc Donald in a blazer and khakis!

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE

NOW THAT IS AN OUTRAGE.

Mc Donalds is kinda like Tumblr blogers: It tries to be too hip with new, fresh ideas, or else it will fall.

Though, where Tumblr is very YMMV, Mc Donald's is nearly self-parody if it wasn't ambiguous if they realize its a bad idea or not...

Damn I imagine that Uncanny Valley Nightmare would scare the hell out of kids. I know I'd run because I don't want to eat my lunch where unholy abominations like that thing dwell.

I'm quickly getting one of those happy meal boxes if this character becomes discontinued in the states. I'll put the box in my nightmare room.

So this thing is like Nightmare Fuel Minions?

what do you mean I didn't win, I ate more wet t-shirts than anyone else

That's what most people like to think.

Finally got the box. My parents hope they can put it on the cat's head for Halloween.

I always knew the Happy Meals had been declining in quality (mainly the toys and such, not the food). But this???

Someday there will be a set of Happy Meal toys based on the Rabbids. Specifically Rabbids Invasion. And the bunnies and these red toothy abominations will be seen together in the commercials.. Calling. It. Now.

...Never mind. It happened already.

Good. They're so similar, the two should move in together.

I just saw a commercial with Ronald Mcdonald. ... I think they never intended to replace him. But I haven't seen those farm animals on TV for a few weeks now....

Aw, I was shipping them with minions.

I say the Funny farm was a fad like Spaceman Stu and... i'm sure there was some mascot for girls at that time.

Dakota's blog An odd agent of justice

Maybe so - those commercials were cute and enticing, even though I hate the regime responsible with a passion... At least those commercials showcased some damn good animation.

Either way, all I see this new mascot doing is annoying kids at best and scaring them at worst. Because being sacred and annoyed means you want to eat here, right? RIGHT?

Yeah... Not really.

Even if I had different face, I AM STILL DISGRACED.

Even my young nephew found Happy to be a bit... Unnerving at least. XD

Knuckles does in fact chuckle, his theme song lies.

Fun Fact: There are actually advertising HTTYD 2 using Happy here in my location. That smile he did on the ad was WEIRD.

Don't worry, tell your nephew that almost everyone is scared of him.

I know... I'm not the best role model...
