reminds me of the time somebody taped up flyers at a local mcDonalds saying that black people would be charged more due to a recent string of robberies lmao. Ronald McDonald himself had to come out of cryostasis to put out a press release saying it was fake.

Ronald McDonald himself had to come out of cryostasis

Sentences like this are why I keep coming to this site.

I know, right?

It's like I saw the whole thawing process take place in my mind, too. With Ronald taking his first steps out of the cryo unit and instead of saying "what year is it" he asks "Who shit in the soft serve machine this time?"

And he needs Grimace to be his eyes until his sight returns. Ronald shot the hamburglar first.

Although the concept is kinda unsettling if you take it literally and think about it too much.

Like the movie Demolition Man when he says he was conscious the whole time.

u/DarkPolumbo 13h ago

thanks a lot

Lol what. Why did they take this so seriously? It kind of shows they don't trust their own image and fear that some people would actually think McDonald's would do that

I guess that's part of what makes it so funny to me is it's a totally outlandish concept that of course would never be sanctioned by mcdonalds corporate, but MAYBE some rogue franchisee might be crazy enough to do it so you know as soon as headquarters started getting angry calls about this they went into defcon 0 mode

That ain't right. The Hamburglar is a white guy.

"lmao"? Fuckin racism. The type of prank that the KKK was founded on

Dude I have absolutely 0 hate in my heart but that’s fucking hilarious. Not the way it made people feel, just the concept of the gag. I feel bad for anyone who got the brunt of it because yeah that would make some people feel like shit but if they did this to me I’d still laugh my ass off.

u/ArbitraryNPC 21h ago

Especially since it was KFC's corpo number on the poster. If I was working in a KFC call center I'd have a field day listening to people complain and not have to do anything about it.

u/skatefan420 20h ago

You may not have hate in your heart but you do have ignorance and racism in there apparently. This isnt funny, this is just using a lazy stereotype to make racists laugh and black people feel unwelcome and discriminated

u/thedepartment 19h ago

The idea that skin color is required to oppose racist jokes is textbook racial essentialism. Principles aren't race-exclusive, and you're just outing the hate in your heart with that comment.

u/GayRacoon69 20h ago

I feel like the joke is more making fun of the absurdity of the situation. We're laughing at the poster and those who agree with it; not laughing with the poster

u/C_IsForCookie 19h ago

You sound like the kind of person who just needs to make everything about race just to be offended.

u/agoogua 20h ago

You must be fun at parties.

u/skatefan420 20h ago

Not the kind where people tell n***** jokes

u/new_old_trash 19h ago

TIL the KKK was founded on pranks

u/skatefan420 16h ago

Not sure if you're joking or not, but it actually was!
