1981 McDonald's commercial: Midnight at McDonald's 

My very favourite McDonald's commercial ever!!!😊😊😊The BEST!!! Sometimes I used to hear it in my dreams as I was awakening, the little jingle at the end..."now you know what happens... at Mcdonalds every night... doo -do-do-doo😊☺😊love it!!!😊

I hadn't seen this commerical in ages, love this classic 1981 McDonald's commerial. :)

I remember all of these ads from McDonalds when I little (despite I was born in 1993 and I wasn't around in the 80s). But I do very much miss the older original McDonalds restaurant building designs. And all of the family friendly joy that people and kids come in to eat and having a good time. But now those years are DEAD!!! nowadays the newer McDonalds commercials and restaurants aren't so much family or kid friendly anymore. Now they all advertise for a more "young adult" demographic. Man, again I wish they still had the original McDonalds that I grew up with.

Ronald you always make me Happy

The next time I go past a closed McDonald's, I must remember to take a look through the window!

This was seen during the 1981 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Broadcast

@Pocockable I am also 42 and I live in the United States. I remember them being referred to as Goblins at least until the early eighties.

I remember that ad. I thought it was very cute! Maybe, someday, someone will uploaded it for us.

@animehunter23 Correct. McDonald's Revamped The McDonaldLand Characters In The Late 80's. Mayor McCheese, Officer Big Mac, Captain Crook, Were Retired.

@Pocockable could be, I live in the U.S. so they may have become fry kids by late 80's early 90's when I was old enough to remember them

I remember that commercial! :D

That is Captain Crook - he was always after the Filet-O-Fish sandwiches!

Awesome

More productive than real mcdonald's workers and a better attitude too

@animehunter23 They were called the Goblins when I was around ten, eleven, and twelve, and that was in the early 1980s. I'm 42 now. It's possible, however, that their name changed for Canadian television, since I grew up in, and still live, in Canada.

@mypencillead In some cities, they still close around midnight. Where I live, freestanding locations are 24 hours a day.

That must be the cleanest McDonald's I've ever seen. If only they were that clean and shiny in RL instead of just commercial sets.

Okay, who stole Yen Sid's hat?

Everything is easier when we work as one

Either that man and woman who are employed at McDonalds work 18-hour shifts (6AM?-12AM), or they work both late night and early shifts off and on where McDonalds only gave them both 6 hours (less than?) of sleep! Maybe that McDonalds opens at 9AM.

0:39, Bane from The Dark Knight Rises voice cameo.

McDonald's was more of a kid place back in the days

I thought birdie came in 1985

Did anybody else thought the Hamburglar flipped off the camera😂

@Pocockable it's internet slang for "real life".

@Pocockable fry goblins? when I was a kid those were called fry kids and they looked a hell of a lot better back then

I thought that, for sure, I posted a message about five minutes ago. But, for some reason, it is not here! Let us see if this one goes through.

@animehunter23 Notice The Difference Between The Old Characters And The New. Towards The Late 90's McDonald's Brought Back The Mayor And Added Ronald's Dog, Sundae. In 2003 McDonald's Did Away With McDonaldland And Kept Ronald As Chief Of Happiness.

Wasn't the Hamburglar an enemy to Ronald? Why are they teamed up?

0:34 I keep hearing "When we all bitchin' to hell"

@maidenrulz1 I remember that commercial too! If my memory is correct, I was eleven years old at the time. I thought it was pretty cool!

@voltaman33 i dont think McDonalds close these days

Did anyone catch what the goblins said near the end?

0:35 When we all bitchin' to hell.

@jinggo78 What does RL mean?

@animehunter23 The Rest Of The McDonaldLand Characters Got A Complete Makeover. To Make The Advertisement Appealing To Kids.

Ran ran ru!!!

Ahh...I see.

Believe me, I have had my share of experiences working for jerks so I can see where your sister is coming from! Luckily, I now have a position at Saint Barnabas Hospice and everyone I work with is very nice!

Who's that pirate?

God how I miss those McDonald's buildings with the shingle roof and the white metal things (I called them straws when I was little) that lit up and the old signage. The new design is horrible. Too sterile looking.

What is if was Midnight at McDonald's...in Montgomery? :D ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZCvSBVDZTDE.html

Creepy!!!
