McDonald's - "Attempted Vehicular Burgercide" (Commercial, 1978)
Ойын-сауық
Here's an extra long, 60 second camping themed commercial for McDonald's Restaurants featuring Ronald McDonald, purported carefree clown, running over Big Mac, the policeman and only source of law and order in all of McDonaldland. Also features Grimace and the Hamburgler, who declined to get involved. And a sentient three-wheel ATV.
Note: Ted Cassidy supplied the Voice of Officer Big Mac. He’s best known for his portrayal of Lurch on TV’s The Addams Family. (thanks to Facebook group "Filming In McDonaldland" for the info)
This aired on local Atlanta TV (or via cable) in April of 1978.

I believe this was taped at Franklin Canyon Reservoir, just a few miles north of Beverly Hills. Many shows and TV commercials have been shot there including The Andy Griffith Show opening, the Brady Bunch camping episode and commercials for Frosted Flakes and Skippy peanut Butter (with Annette Funicello).
Oh how those times seems like 1000s of years ago

Yes and I would go back in a heartbeat 🤔
Some wild stunt work for a McDonald's commercial.
Probably one of the last commercials with Big Mac.
Back then, McDonald's had THE BEST fires.

Yes, I used to bring plenty of marshmallows to roast at McDonald's!
Ronald went out on a limb for this one....
I like how Hamburgular slept outside like he wasn't allowed in the tents. xD
Poor Ronald got no breakfast after all that anyway. 0:44 what makes you think it took like 8 screen takes to get his "Aaah!" juuust right for the director lol
Holy cow, I never heard Big Mac talk before. Scary!😲

@@phillyradiogeek Wow, I would've never guessed that. Thanks for the info.👍
Grimace used to be a bag guy that stole shakes. He used to have four arms. That's why a friend of Ronald's named GRIMACE.
Ronald with grimace hamburger and Big Mac in this commercial reminds me of Japanese McDonald’s commercials
Don't you hate it when you're camping and your ATV gains sentience and decides to take you for a very unwanted ride?
Poor Ronald Mcdonald He Cant Stop His Motorcycle In The End Haha😢
hehehehehehehehe oh miss funny commercials like these oddily enough i was 2 years old i really remember watching them.
Another great find fuzzy!
0:19 lol that expression deserves a callback in an Ace Ventura movie or something
Grimace: Whoops! at 0:12 😆
78’ would make me 6 yo and I remember this clearly. Did you hear they got rid Ronald the 🤡 no wonder the world is ending. Lol

He is on Instagram @RonaldMcDonald instagram.com/ronaldmcdonald They just moved him to social media, and he still visits local McDonald's restaurants and Ronald McDonald's houses.
Man i miss the old day. My favorite McDonalds breakfast will always be the Egg Mcmuffin with Hashbrowns ketchup
0:11 EHOSPSS
Ronald: Watch out!
Commercials like this actually fit this generations weird humor
The food looks more real than what they serve up in 2024
I could go for some hotcakes right now 🥞
eerie
3 Wheelers were discontinued because they dangerous and easily flip over, more dangerous than motorcycles. That why we have 4 wheelers now.
hamburgular looks creepy
This is so cute!
Drive carefully? Not possible on a 3 wheeler 🙂
I hated that motorcycle. I thought it bullied Ronald.
“And milk and juice to make it complete!”
All these comments and no mention of the Honda ATC 110.

Where exactly is the "attempted burgercide"? I didn't catch that.

I was referring to what is shown in the video thumbnail - Ronald running his ATV over Big Mac in the tent. Some poetic license was taken as well.
Ronald was doing a lot of cocaine during this time.
