The Strange History of Mac Tonight (ft. ‪@ManyKudos‬ )
In the 1980's, during the height of one of the biggest wars in the history of humanity (The Burger Wars) - McDonald's set out to create a new mascot that was unfortunately lost to the ages, and to memes.
Mac Tonight was created to appeal to an older crowd, but he appealed to so much more than that throughout his life time. But will we ever see Mac Tonight again?

I had a toy of the moon man when I was a kid. I knew it was a McDonald’s toy, but I never knew where he came from. I always thought he was some obscure tv character I could never find the show of. I can finally sleep at night, now that I know where this moon man came from.

I came over straight from ManyKudos as fast as I could to sub. Swallow it deep and whole, and then slurp the rest right on down the ol' gullet. What I love about saying this to strangers is it's never weird at all! And don't worry, I say it to women just like men, so there's no sexual harassment involved here. It's just my wacky shinanigans. Thank ManyKudos for cultivating such a wonderfully tasteful fanbase. I'm 37 years old as well. Just in case things hadn't got sad enough. I was alive during these Burger Wars. Delicious combat fought on the most tasty battleground in U.S. history.

@capofallfools 3 года назад

Describing a crooner as someone capable of "really fuck[ing] the frequencies with their throats" thanks to the new mics of the time was both the most haunting, hilarious, and accurate description of them I've ever heard. I rewound that bit a couple times just because it made me laugh so hard.

Fun Fact: McDonald's had some Mac Tonight commercials here and there in the 90's , then came the 2007 commercial in Singapore which would like the old 80's commercials be dubbed in different languages, but this one was only dubbed for China and Hong Kong, after that Hong Kong Continued using Mac Tonight by remixing the Dubbed jingle from the 2007 commercial for various commercials up until 2010. You can find complications of these commercials here on RU-vid From 1986-2010 Good Job Mac Good Job (P.S don't know if anyone sais this all ready)

@moonman2022 3 года назад

The name Moon Man was attached to the Mac Tonight image by MurdarMachene in 2006. Moon Man's text-to-speech voice (AT&T Mike) was first used by Farkle in 2007, although Farkle didn't make songs, only skits and speeches, establishing Moon Man as a racist shock humor character. Hypersaxon made the first Moon Man song ("Money in the Bank"), and he also made "Crank Dat". MuMluxMlan made Moon Man's biggest hit, "Notorious KKK", in 2009. New Moon Man songs are still coming out on Bitchute, as of 2021.
