I don't know the musical term for it, but it sounds like Rockapella used some of the the same background vocals(?) at 0:24 in a Folgers commercial which was sampled by Neil Ciceraga. I wonder if that part actually came from the Carmen Sandiego version?

Don't you tell me my business again.
The weird thing is, a grimace is an expression of disgust or pain. Is that what McDonald's wants to convey with the characters that presumably eat their food or is Grimace sort of an outlier or some poo poo where he hates yummy things and he's the grouchy bad guy?

Not saying that grimacing isn't an accurate reaction to consuming McDonalds, mind you, but I wouldn't want to highlight it in a marketing campaing.

Yes, he started out as the bad guy who was stealing milkshakes but that scared the kiddies so he was redeemed (and lost a couple arms, since he started with like, four) and became friendly.

I started laughing at this and then had to explain to my wife what the joke was.

What followed was a complete breakdown of all of the McDonaldland characters, their creators BY NAME and she is currently looking for the power point she made for her doctoral thesis from when she attended Hamburger University in Chicago

*Ronald McDonald, approaching with a saw in his hand* yes yes, you say that now, but I think you need something to remind you.

Even for how generically boring and ugly McDonalds general design was, like wow. The proportions are all over the place and that face is a face of sadness.

Huh, I dated a girl in high school that was assembling a portfolio for undergrad work in dill photography. Before we broke up she said something about "the McCheese scholarship" and when she got distracted she'd doodle these weird purple splotches. She left me for a guy named Big Mac
