the fact this would actually work today

That's what every salad bar needs, all-you-can-eat pizza and pasta.

"It brings out the dangerous hostile side in Mr. D." (MonkaS)

The being broke from vacationing to bora bora with two youngs friends in an ad for 99 cent food man.

Why do I love these ads so much?

They should have just gone with "We serve food here sir"

Mr. D needs some free coke refills, if you know what I mean....

"Mr. D can lose him self while gazing into the distance with a mouthful of roast beef sandwich, and fondly recall a time when quaaludes were still in vogue and the FBI hadn't yet developed serial criminal profiling..."

Not sure if that was intentional or not, but Mr. D gives me ever so slight Beavis & Butthead vibes meant for an older and conservative audience of the same time frame.

More like Mr Depressing

How did that necessarily that he had a vasectomy? He's drawn as a middle-aged guy, an age that many people have gut issues, and sometimes have hemorrhoid surgery...

I just want to know why he's doing the "princess wave".

A shame. He looks like hed make an excellent propane salesman lol

Creepy on so many levels

0:11 of course you'd dig him ! Hes you ! 😮

Looks like the chikfilet girl

Mr. Delicious has the same monotone voice of an instructor I had in college!

"I can't sit down too fast after my surgery; I'll be fine in a week and back hittin' on the ladies at the main office."

Who thought this was a good idea???!!!

Mr. Delicious looks like Senator Armstrong from Metal Gear Rising Revengeance.

Mr. D wasn't a failure. He's just way, way ahead of his time.

The fact that they paid for exactly one animation of that guy walking left to right and they used reused it multiple times in multiple commercials

This looks like some shit you'd see on Liquid Television back in theDay

"Ever since his ex-wife took him to the cleaners" Mr. D is a troubled man with a troubling history

Honestly the funniest thing is that the people behind the ad never put together that "delicate surgery" would be interpreted as a vasectomy, and thought their intent that he was talking about his haemorrhoids would come across clearly.

Daria's dad

Based on the current state on every restaurants that used to be fun like Pizza Hut and McDonalds back then, Mr Delicious would fit perfectly on how depressing this modern era truly is.

Still sounds like a douche bag.

What so you guys think was in the briefcase?😂

Interestingly, they still have a handful of restaurants in existence as of 2024. It's too bad that this ad campaign was unsuccessful in 1992; he's memeworthy, and I think people now might respond differently. Dickety Dee

I wish I could find a hearty roast beef sandwich for 99¢.

This phrasing is remarkably similar to how Hunter S. Thompson describes environments in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Mr. D seems like the kind of guy who came up with "OK soda" a year or two later, thinking he was hip enough the connect with the dour teen crowd. And we know how that ended!

The Mr. delicious cartoon character was just too far ahead of its time. Now that I’m in my 30s I think the ads are actually pretty funny and clever. It’s just a shame that it wasn’t a thing back then.

It’s like they went from one extreme (trying to be too cool/trendy) to another extreme, having a sad old mascot who dresses like he’s from the 50’s.

Mr Delicious is now in Federal prison serving twenty years for fraud.

I don't think that Mister D is controversial, just boring and annoying. If I'm looking to eat a cheap burger, the last thing that I want to see advertising it is a midlife crisis in cartoon form.

He got medical work done on his dickety dee.

I forgot that his introduction had him saying “I may be a cartoon, but I’m not a cartoon for babies like the *norm* oh no no, I’m a SOPHISTICATED cartoon~” Utterly retarded. Pick one. They wanted their cake and now the only thing people remember em by is how they went bankrupt.

Imagine the world where Ronald McDonald is a colossal failure, and Mr. delicious becomes a cultural phenomenon

Rax feels like a franchise from a parallel dimension, and evidently one that didn’t fare to well there either

Mr.D looks like he belongs in Beavis and Butthead.

There's nothing wrong with Mr Delicious, he was just 30 years ahead of his time

Forget today, this probably would have done well in 1994. But America wasn't angsty enough yet.

here's the thing, if something like this comes out nowadays it will be memed among oblivion

Does anyone know who voiced Mr. Delicious?

Publicly, Mr. Delicious is a WASP-y bore. In the bedroom, he lives up to his name in every way imaginable.

0:40 1:46 3:10 5:17 7:50 9:00 10:50 11:35

Same time when McDonald’s debuted the Arch Deluxe burger for a more middle age crowd

Tell us more about your neutering, Mr. D, as I eat this meat sandwich from Rax.
