History YMMV / TheWackyAdventuresOfRonaldMcDonald

** There's nothing like the great outdoors, and the Far Flung Forest is the best of course. If you wanna get close to the greenery, then camping in the wild is the place to be.

** In "Grimace Island", the gang is caught in HostileWeather during their ocean adventure. The scene is already frightening enough, but when Ronald goes up to the crow's nest for some WeatherManipulation, he gets ''struck by lightning''. Not only does show his bones via XRaySparks, but, in a "blink-and-you'll-miss-it" scene, you can see his ''heart''.

* MemeticMutation: Many a WebAnimation/YouTubePoop has lifted footage from these videos, though usually more from the live-action segments.

* UnintentionalUncannyValley: Many viewers find the animatronic suit of Sundae used in the first three videos to be unsettling because of how unnecessarily realistic it looks.

* BrokenBase: Fans of the series seem split on the meaning of the teaser at the end of the final episode promising further installments. One camp believes that this means the series was CutShort and more episodes were genuinely planned, but another camp suggests that the teaser was just meant as a false comfort to kids since the show was ending. Note that the teaser at the end of the third episode was also somewhat generic like the final teaser, but it still foreshadowed episodes 4-6 whereas the final teaser did no such thing, being bereft of any details about future installments. A third party believes that only six videos were planned initially before it was considered to make more videos when ''[=McDonaldland=] Loch'' was in production, but the plans were scrapped due to Klasky-Csupo having a falling out with [=McDonald's=] at the last minute and only releasing the video after the squabble out of legal obligation, which is supported by the final video only being made available through Klasky-Csupo's now defunct website and the VHS cover being noticeably shoddier in quality than the previous five (the front cover obviously being a screenshot from ''Scared Silly'' depicting Tika and the Fry Kids [[CoversAlwaysLie in spite of neither of them appearing in the video]] and the description on the back cover not saying anything about the video's actual plot in addition to featuring stock art of one of the Fry Kids), which could be indicative of Klasky-Csupo being in such a hurry to release the finished video that they didn't have the patience to make as much effort in designing the cover as the previous five releases.

* BrokenBase:
** Are the videos [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin wacky fun]], or are they just pointless 40-minute commercials with their own [=VHS=] releases and creepy caricatures of the [=McDonaldland=] characters?

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot:
** ''Birthday World'' has its points, but, considering that it was a celebration of Ronald, why didn't the writers explore aspects of his life? We could've seen his childhood, his family (like the uncle mentioned in ''Scared Silly''), and how he had met Sundae and the rest of the gang.
** ''The Legend of Grimace Island''’s use of pirates could’ve been the perfect opportunity to bring back long-forgotten Advertising/McDonaldland villain Captain Crook; instead we get One-Eyed Sally. Though it's likely that [=McDonald's=] didn't want to risk raising [[Creator/SidAndMartyKrofftProductions Sid and Marty Krofft]]'s ire again. Ironically, One-Eyed Sally is voiced by Billie Hayes, famous for her role as Witchiepoo in the Krofft brothers' ''Series/HRPufnstuf''.

** An example from episodes 4-6. "30 seconds till [[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime adventure time]]".

** At the end of "Visitors from Outer Space", Sundae explains to Ronald that he was only teasing when he said he's looking forward to their next space adventure. This is a lot funnier in light of ''[[Radio/IntergalacticalMagicalRadio The Wacky Musical Adventures of Ronald McDonald: Intergalactical Magical Radio]]'', an obscure AudioAdaptation of the ''Wacky Adventures'' videos that not only involved Ronald and friends journeying through outer space (this time to respond to a distress signal from some aliens) but also noticeably [[AdaptedOut omitted]] Sundae.
