McDonald's Commercials - 1984 to 1985

[@princegroove]

This was a golden era when my dad and I, who separated from my mom prior, had McDonald’s every weekend; I loved every moment of it, too!

We'll get those types of commercials back into the mainstream. I'm planning to put together a Retro Decade Revival Project. Our goal is to bring real entertainment, true talent, pure originality and diversity, old school and more back into the public mainstream, starting with the 1980s. That means putting an end to modern entertainment.

[@carrotsandcucumbers8214]

Yeah. It's because it's full of humans

[@josephchristenson9794]

These commercials are a lot more fun than the modern ones

I actually like some of these older commercials. The work out commercial's kind of ironic. ^_^;

[@Michael-jw6et]

McDonald's transition over the years has been interesting. They went from promoting themselves as a kid's restaurant to completely changing to more of an adult coffee house look. They even changed the way the restaurants looked. They went from being bright and colorful to more adult colors. I don't even think I have seen a new advertisement for a happy meal in years.

[@MrFleshyMan]

Honestly, it reflects the world. It used to all be fun, happy and carefree. But now, it's all bland, miserable, and "grown up".

[@Michael-jw6et]

@@bradbradthebrad While Ed Wynn voiced the Mad Hatter, I’m afraid it’s not possible for him to voice Mayor McCheese. You see, he died in either 1965 or 1967, which was before Mayor McCheese’s debut. I reckon another actor provided his role.

Thank you for uploading these! Such a beautiful world.

[@Digitalhunny]

Thank you VERY much for the work you did to compose these old commercials. I actually remember some from my Saturday morning cartoon days. My 12 year old thinks that their slogan "Its a good time for the great taste of McDonald's" Should make a come back & stay.

[@barbarahiggins583]

OMG I remember these commercials, the McNuggets, I used to love them, I thought they were so cute, I miss these days, the 80s were a wonderful time to be a kid.

Of course the chicken McNuggets are boneless, that is because they are also chicken-less, lol

it was my favorite restaurant as a kid in the 80s and early 90s... my favorite food, with nice toys, beautiful characters and colors everywhere... + i played in the kid park in the restaurant, it was GREAT.

Showed this to my 4.5 year old. Realised how lucky I was to grow up in the 80s lol

I was watching a morning weekday tv game show.The name "Ronald McDonald" appeared on the screen and the contestant must guest what his/her partner is giving out by saying the clues.The partner said,"red hair,clown,big macs",and the contestant trying to figure out didn't even know.

[@moee.6488]

I wasn't born when these commercials were made... but I can feel that heavy nostalgia.

[@JOSEPHMORTON]

Moe H. I think it has something to do with the remnants of this era being prevalent in the restaurants- the ones with playgrounds especially. One of my local restaurants had paintings of all of these characters on the wall (including the fry guys, which I hadn’t seen anywhere else besides these commercials) and I see pictures all the time of the old seats that looked like burgers with eyes.

[@BlackAntoITA]

I like soo much these commercials and i love soo much Ronald and his friends :D

[@MWolfL]

That Scrooge Christmas party with McNuggets one was adorable. ^^

[@jonothanthrace1530]
