[@ChrisMorray]

Gotta love how passionate Michael gets over McDonalds food.

[@animeobsessee2125]

ChrisMorray just food in general, don’t get him started on Olive Garden breadsticks vs red lobster Biscuits

[@cristopherhartsock5407]

That's the same exact incident that came to mind and drove me to reply here...you've beaten me to it!

[@Cyrus_III]

You must not know of the McRib. I need you to search "Ltmkilla mcrib"

[@lyinsroar9637]

I mean Michael is a passionate person in general, it's kind of inspiring

[@PrincessLockette]

Well he is Sun after all xD

[@toastedgarlicofficial]

One thing I admire about Achievement Hunter is their love for McDonald’s

[@brocklefrog]

At least one video every week they gush about it

[@Ryvaken]

AH has bad taste. It's both obvious and multi-layered.

[@ze_rubenator]

What a sad thing to admire.

[@sandraescalante233]

They need to be sponsored

[@LaRyccia12]

like how game grumps loves Wendys (specifically Arin)

[@AngelMendoza-um8pm]

This got so dark and creepy when the chicken hatched and McDonalds is standing there

[@KuraiCry]

He has a name you know

[@andersledell8643]

It's funny that you say that because reality is darker and creepier for these chickens.

[@PHANTOMCOWGIRL]

The style of the chick kind of reminded me of the Duck Life flash games. Those were awesome.

[@darkpone3731]

Yeah, it's 'It'

[@AngelMendoza-um8pm]

@Bruticus Rex but they're delicious

[@MrEsphoenix]

Michel finds out about them bringing back tenders, then there's a chicken shortage shortly after. I think there's a connection

[@flipposlippo1510]

1:23 I was expecting Michael to have an Rage Quit type reaction

[@chrisj403]

An hero?

[@ZHL242]

Is that cashier at 1:29 the same ginger who tried to dance with Lindsay like 200 episodes ago and got a faceful of Jersey Michael? He's lost a lot of weight, he looks great.

[@butterflyqueen9260]

No

[@ToonedMinecraft]

probably not.

[@samiamrg7]

That ginger was portrayed by Burnie. One of his many RTAA forms.

[@novastarguild2892]

I feel sorry for you guys but Burnie recognized that as his teenager persona of the Ginger

[@Posthumorous1]

You shoulda seen him a month ago, he was like 450 pounds

[@tsarfox3462]

The actual difference is nuggets are made with any meat from the chicken ground up and shaped into a nugget. Tenders are strips cut from the chicken breast.

[@glitchz1]

Wow thats kinda like the KFC Chicken Shortage we had in the UK.

[@devilsbirthdate]

Do not speak of those dark times!

[@MrMagpie36]

Not from a lack of chicken but from letting someone who says they can distribute the food for cheaper do it, only to realise they were incompetent and had no plans on how to do it lol.

[@bobbyshewan4229]

You had a shortage of KFC? Jesus. I'm so sorry.

[@ItsZorroDood]

How many died?

[@SophieHesper]

Wasn't that only the gravy though?

[@LordBloodraven]

2:28 "It's not even like I'm alive / you're dead; it's like, I'm alive / *I'm gonna watch you grow before I eat you."* Michael's description of how he views the chicks that are being born was somehow creepier than Mad King Ryan's *"EDGAR'S THE ONE IN THE HOLE!!!"*

[@owendiaram3870]

*EAT!*

[@andersledell8643]

Yeah, it sure is creepy, but reality is creepier.

[@ciarapolish]

He's a dad now. He is Mad King Ryan's successor

[@sixuk902]

It's the curse of baby brain. It'll do things to ya

[@KalibreSteelblast]

He did once function as the Mad King's butcher, during their first attempt to reach the moon many years ago. ... It makes sense in context.

[@williampittman2432]

Being a McDonald's cashier employee, I find this outrageously hilarious. Thanks for making my day.

[@MaxPwnzer]

This was probably the best RTAA in a long while. Other ones the stories felt lacking or the animation felt lazy. But this, this was perfect. Michael's little eye twitch, him letting go of the wheel in his animated rage only for the next guy to talk to grab the wheel and steady the car. Even his drooling, normally that would have been cut. This was just amazing, props to the team for this one.

[@spectacular1spider]

Michaels Chicken crisis

[@ScottyFang]

McCrisis

[@TheMightyBean321]

Loved Alfredo randomly showing up as Michaels wingman in the animation

[@mrastleysghost]

The entirety of Achievement Hunter is the best advertisement McDonalds has ever had (after the Szechuan sauce incident)...

[@lilebluecaboose]

The animation glo-up in these is so strong!! The comedic timing in this is so on point.

[@driedcheese8182]

Welp, tenders are gone yet again

[@rubengalvan497]

Ryan's gone too

[@Jayne_Rose]

@@rubengalvan497 most likely his tenders too.

[@StealthTheFoxz]

@@rubengalvan497 He just took the tenders with him then.

[@stewartanderson6433]

I love how much thought went into each animation and how the layer and build up.

[@jaythetired2076]

I had the same reaction as Michael when I found out

[@mastermoustachio282]

All Might fought All for One?

[@killdude26]

Reminds me of that Boondocks episode.

[@HandmadeGoose97]

I. Barack Obama just want to let you know me and my family are fine

[@khalidbrown743]

Was that the same one as the Chicken flu or Whatever episode

[@HandmadeGoose97]

Yes it is

[@LILCHEESE99]

How tf popeyes run out of chicken?!

[@MrSlikrthanu]

So I worked at McDs during this time, and we ran out and couldn’t order anymore due to the chicken shortage, we had to wait 4 months to get more. Let’s just say customers were a lot more mad than Micheal was that they went a way

[@spartan990]

This episode had some crazy production value. Everything is moving, there's a lot more life to it - it looks great!

[@Hank..]

"I dunno. I dont care; Im not a loser" Lindsay is the best

[@christophercrowe8321]

The animation of this video was so fluid and smooth, it made the laughs all the better!!

[@TeamTwo22]

This RTAA is REALLY good, I like how overly dramatic the animations are (oversized mouths when shouting, wavy arms, etc). I really hope that RTAAs after this one are just as good.

[@azurebalmung4520]

Wow. Haven't seen Micheal this passionate about a food item since the biscuits vs breadsticks thing.

[@RobinChakravarty]

I've been waiting so long for this since I saw the podcast. best story ever!

[@shyfrog3731]

Love the increasing quality of these animations.

[@natieangus]

When a macdonalds has selective food in different countries so your country doesn't have chicken tenders

[@beardalmighty]

SELECT-ive food?

[@raffyoli]

on that note: what does mcdonalds serve in your country thats exclusive to your country? here we got fried chicken, spaghetti, and delivery

[@MrJk-lp6ub]

Dude Rooster Teeth It's amazing how progressive it his improves I remember being 14 and watching Gavin. Talking about headlight fluid to all the way about the killer snail to the hole thing about Gus's brain to the miles talking about what his dad said in the bluebonnets I'm now 20 and its so amazing how the community and Rooster Teeth as a whole grown I will be forever attached hopes for many more years of amazing content

[@dzunepwnsipod]

Loved the visuals on this one

[@HidingZebraTube]

These are getting really good

[@mrsporadicsporkguy5481]

Jesus the Chicken Select left almost as fast as my dad and only difference is that he didn't come back

[@robonick1894]

Holy cow this animation quality is amazing

[@jx592]

This is pure gold.... And crispy...

[@makessenseapparently]

Absolute Perfection this Animated Adventure was.

[@hockeyrocker1172]

My favorite RTAA in a while!

[@leblancfisherman]

Love the episode definitely one of my favorites

[@troysmith3843]

These videos literally make my day.

[@leonjames6843]

Great job on the animation!

[@Wizzkidwas]

The animation was really entertaining to watch, it was so full of character

[@AnomalySource]

And they are gone again. They were so good

[@maplesyrup8526]

The animations get better as each week goes by

[@amberturner2821]

I think this is one of the best ones.

[@RaphaeLoh01]

Michael: "AARRGGHH! IT'S BACK!" Afred: "GET IN THE CAR!"

[@katherinemcdaniel3164]

I will never forgive Wendy’s for getting rid of the spicy chicken nuggets

[@Drewtendo]

Amen to that

[@SupernerdScrawl]

It was literally the only thing I could stand eating from there.

[@amandajohnson3531]

I think they just came back.

[@LILCHEESE99]

@@amandajohnson3531 and they taste nothing like how they used to. Barely even spicy, such a waste

[@studio9131]

The spicy chicky nuggs

[@Evilman_520]

This was the biggest roller coaster of emotions they could have ever packed into 3 minutes.

[@ResidentChef]

This is now my favorite episode of Rooster Teeth Animation

[@ohioknifelover]

One of the best RT Animated Shorts so far lol

[@jakemanickam8131]

Well that makes sense. Chicken Tender run out when you eat too many of them

[@Edgemaster72]

What a roller coaster of chicken-based emotions

[@tjmakesthempay3468]

Imagine this entire thing but with Sun as Michael

[@CyberneticHusky]

1:27 I swore Michael was gonna go all Jersey on McDonald’s

[@thomasrosebrough9062]

The mouths were so well animated in this video

[@raffyoli]

this is such a well-animated episode, loom at that squish and stretch

[@raffyoli]

alfredo bustin thru the wall in a car, that anticipation frame and the lip sync?? 👌👌👌

[@5uperM]

The animation has gotten REALLY good.

[@MikeSmith-pl6go]

I never had chicken selects before, and this RTAA made me want to try them... Totally worth it!

[@SentinalSlice]

Best one in a while

[@SonnySanVista]

this is like the happiest most animated Michael ive seen

[@Seussenshmirtz]

This might be the best animated RTAA

[@ArthurCrane92]

0:58 Michael summing up my thoughts on fast food.

[@D.Ronoa69]

That's a good animation of the chick hatching n Ronald waiting nearby... staring o_o

[@caffeine3845]

So funny stories and there are so many we didnt heard or they keep hapenning i love it

[@SheppardOfNumenor]

That last frame pierced my soul.

[@grimmlord4211]

McDonald's stopped serving chicken tenders before quarantine started

[@Avishadur]

I feel like if they cultivate the relationship with Chef Mike these exchanges could be even funnier. like "WHAT? I am going to get Chef Mike on the phone right now! you had better not be lying to me or you're done" *reserve chicken selects roll out*

[@geraldcastellano1988]

I feel Micheal's pain except with Applebee's. I live in South Texas and a few weeks ago Applebee's posted a month long deal were you can have unlimited wings and fries all day for $12.99. My friends and I were so excited we had a whole day plan. Turns out the deal was posted by an independently owned Applebee's and only certain restraunts are honoring the deal. None of them are in my town.

[@barbaro267]

Ryan got really into this chicken story haha. He was like "Why build up this story if there was no chicken?" And Michael's all, "Just wait. It gets better!"

[@daisytapia7038]

Not gonna lie, I'd react the exact same way as Michael if McDonalds ever brought back the McWrap.

[@n141t]

Daisy Tapia wait you don't have wraps at McDonalds?

[@zenryuu7182]

seriously, those wraps just come and go.

[@SkaterBlades]

I swear in the UK we've had chicken selects for a while and they weren't stopped. We also have multiple wraps

[@daisytapia7038]

@LtKillaz Lucky Q3Q

[@mastermoustachio282]

Daisy Tapia Fly over here and come get some Wraps, their delicious.

[@irishandproud7119]

This is the most expressive I've seen Michael been in RTAA.

[@ThesisTheFox]

100% This is the best RTAA EVER!!!

[@freemanwithoutthephd639]

omg the ending outro music was the background music for the Flex Seal Commercial

[@FlameC64]

Literally started this video on my phone, opened my door and saw my RT merch got delivered

[@MrFunnyManChris]

I like that Rooster Teeth is doing this college clothing style promotion. It looks good. If Rooster Teeth had it's own college, I would transfer immediately to be a student at RTU.

[@tyrant2025]

Large mouthed excited Michael is the best.

[@zetsuei53]

I look forward to the "LEGIT DELICIOUS" shirt with that chicken head profile :-D

[@loudross]

Love it when we get a "long" rtaa

[@ashtong1039]

Woah improvement in animation

[@mazharsiddiqi7288]

Pre-Face Jam Michael food discussions are hilarious

[@richardavelino7383]

It was going so well

[@myavang7677]

I stopped eating mcdonalds over 2 years ago, but watching this rtaa made me really crave mcnuggets. Long story short, I started eating mcdonalds again. Thanks Michael and the guys at AH.

[@dennerin]

Handsome Chicken deserves its own RT show

[@xjunkxyrdxdog89]

2:25 scariest thing ever in an rtaa.

[@Sllandre]

From the timing of this I was expecting something else... CHICKEN TENDERRRRRRRS COME READY TO FRYYYYYYYY

[@elle7095]

my therapist: rtaa ronald mcdonald can’t hurt you rtaa ronald mcdonald:

[@stephaniemorgan2652]

I went and tried one of my sisters tenders from earlier during the video and it's amazing!

[@bealatorre9657]

I've never seen Michael so passionate for chicken.

[@mjnrtaeamc7789]

When I was a sophomore in Highschool, I went through the drive up at McDonald’s and ordered the chicken selects and the cashier let me know they were discontinued. I immediately started sobbing and had to drive off. It was a tough year.

[@hostclubAG]

Did nobody see/hear the fact that Micheal said "December 2nd" & the fact that Shaun drew the calendar as December??!?? 😂 At like 1:20

[@FE3DBAK]

that "EAT" at the end really got me

[@jeo1812]

Now that the chicken tenders are back, I am waiting for the snack wraps to return

[@TheFLAMEXD]

Watching this made me hungry.

[@TheGeremy12]

Finally, someone else understands the wonderfulness of the Mcdonalds Selects

[@jx592]

They promise no pink paste and human chickens All that blown to mistrust and disbelief when Mike Rowe tells me about the Lamb balls

[@yashaleo7]

They have the “deepest” most pointless life changing stories that affect no one, but can always make you smile. Don’t ever change!

[@rachelle10]

Wow haha I had a conversation about this last week when I was at McDonalds with my friends. It was about that it's a thing for Americans but here in Europe we just always have them. They're great.

[@KingJohnMichael]

good boys and there gbp's for tendys tale old as time.

[@nathanstautzenberger8381]

that eye twitch @ 1:27 LOL

[@carlymara88]

Nuggets are honestly mostly the meal I'll get there, 10 piece along with an m&m mcflurry, small fry and sometimes drink. I also get the snack wraps too.

[@cormeum8449]

WAIT THEY'RE BACK!? THAT WAS MY CHILDHOOD AND I HAVEN'T EATEN MCDONALD'S SINCE THEY WERE REMOVED!

[@LazyartistLast]

0:34 they must have tried to keep it a secret. just looking at the photo and that the whole article except the title is redacted. must be seriously good stuff.
