Age of Fast Food: Dawn of The Mascots

[KRYPTON INC.]

Honestly... Middling at best.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

I just need to say that the new Colonel Sanders terrifies me.

 

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

The Burger King for the sheer creepiness factor when it comes to that eternally frozen and plastic smile of his... there's something disturbing about that f**ker...

 

[Warhammer]

My mind went to this first:

I have reblogged this on Tumblr many a times.

What fast food place are Babyface and The Trojan from?

 

[Quasimod0]

Is Carlito Taco Bell?

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

The Trojan has me stumped too, but I think Babyface is BOB' S BIG BOY.

 

[PyroChamber]

I just looked it up, apparently Babyface Bob is from Quizno’s and Troy and Katie are from Sonic's.

I wasn't aware that Sonic's had a mascot.

Really? That don't make no sense at all.

 

[PyroChamber]

According to good ol' Wiki, Sonic was founded by a guy named Troy Smith, and in 1999 they started a campaign with a character called Katie the Carhop; being that Sonic has a drive-in feel I guess...I don't get it either.

And Quizno's use to have commercials with a talking baby named Bob.

Yes most can't tell caricature Cubans and Cuban Culture from Mexicans and Mexican culture, or Argentina from Guatemala etc.... and are comfortable lumping them all under one giant "All South O' The Border" label/caricature.

They don't care, and are proud they don't care.

It'd be the clueless equivalent of having a Chinese caricature representing a Sushi restaurant chain. Or an obviously Australian caricature representing English food chain, etc...

Still it's a well executed and clever poster.

They could have added Arby's and some ten-gallon-hat wearing Texas Oil Tycoon cliche ...

I say McDonald's should bring back these guys:

Along with Early Bird & the Minnie Chicken Nugget guys.

man the original McMascots were creepy, although they had allot of character.

Even further back, the Original Ronald McDonald, and early eight-limbed Grimace, are to terrifying to even post the image

Creepy??? For me, they all were zany, goofy, characters; some people just weak constitutions.

You'd buy food for your kids from these guys?

LOL, I'm actually a fan of the H.R. Pufnstuf designed generation of characters. Especially after I started puffin the same stuff they were, it all made sense.

I talked to trashcans, voted my hamburger for mayor , and prefer their creepy Hamburgler, Grimace, etc. over any of the modern takes.

that's not Ronald, though.

 

[chamber-music]

Grimace is like the Cthulhu of fast food mascots.

I have never been able to figure out what Grimace is or represents in the McDonald's menu.

He was originally "Evil Grimace" and stole specifically milkshakes.

Yeah, I know that.....the thing I've never understood is, what sort of creature was he??

Mayor McCheese never recovered from that nasty Gouda scandal.

 

[PyroChamber]

And apparently the Hamburglar use to look like an old witch.

 

[Guts]

Was it ever explained why Mayor McCheese and Officer Big Mac have burgers for heads? And I wonder what it would look like if they were naked.

Magical. That's what it would look like.

These look so cool
