@superhetoric Sometimes it can be a blessing. For the longest time, I thought only the form of media for Cathy is newspaper comics. But now I found out there is a cartoon series based on that newspaper comics. I wonder if the Cathy cartoon is much tamer than the Simpsons and Family Guy since it is most likely a cartoon for mature audiences.
@@Isaac-gh5ku I also didn't know that Cathy had a cartoon series until the algorithm began to promote her. I also wonder what it was like. I bet it's similar to Wait Til Your Father Gets Home.
She played a character who married office boy Benny on LA Law. And she also played Susan Lewis’ screwed-up sister on ER (Susan wanted to adopt her daughter, but then the sister returned).
@@litterbox2010 Depends on the location. They still have salads here in the UK. But in the US, they no longer have the salad entrées. Some places still have side salads if you're lucky.
not to burst your bubble, but: 1) mcdonald’s still sells salads. they’re probably not as healthy as a salad not made by a fast food corporation, but they are still salads. 2) both the tangy caesar and creamy peppercorn dressings are still made, albeit the salad the former is put on is now a caesar salad and the latter was being put on a limited time burger that was available just last year. french red appears to be an urban legend at this point though 😬 couldn’t find ANYTHING on it, not even copycat recipes…
@@redwolftrash I love that they literally only have salads to placate people like you who look down their nose at fast foods, and that it's not working. Delightful. Wish they would stop, and go back to catering to people like me. Nice job doing research on the third dressing though. Mcdolands food history is serious business.
She was all over hallmark during the 80s, plush toys, trinket boxes, greeting cards. For a time, boomer women loved her and she was the go to gift for moms
She was very popular in the mid-to-late 80s but once the mid 90s rolled in she kind of started to become more obscure. Most readers just wanted to see her and Irving finally tie the knot which unfortunately didn't happen until 2005 and by then Cathy's fame had sadly dwindled.
this was a weird time period where the sunday comic strips were relevant in pop culture. Comics like Family Circus, FoxTrot, and Baby Blues were also relevant around that time as well. A very specific time period.
From the late 80s to the mid 90s. My unsubstantiated opinion is this is when the popularity of Calvin and Hobbes was at its peak and it sparked a boomlet that spread to other newspaper comics for a period. There were a few animated For Better or Worse specials from around this time that aired on Canadian TV, I have one recorded off-air on VHS. AFAIK they were never released on any home video format.
As of this week I've found out what Cathy is and I love it! I was born in 1995 so I didn't grow up with this or have any clue it existed, but I'm glad I've been getting recommendations for it.. I've been binging as much as I can!
@@ForLost929qas a 39 year old it blows my mind that there are teen-aged users that weren't born yet or still preschoolers when UA-cam was in it's early days. In fact, I'm not so sure 11 years ago is even really early days for UA-cam anymore. Time goes quickly.
I remember McDonalds's salads, and they seem like just the thing Cathy would start eating as part of another brilliant scheme to lose weight, even though she doesn't like them. And then finally she breaks, orders a Big Mac, and considers herself a failure.
Anyone like me actually miss the salads? Sure you can put something similar for much cheaper with prepackaged bags of salad at walmart, but these salads were still a nice option in rushed lunch break. That, and no more all day breakfast, AND the price gouging is just depressing. I'm not lovin it
Sucks that there are no more caesar salads in my place. Last time I ate one - it was many years ago, in a very special place - 60s milk-bar stylized McDonald's! It even had a front part of the cadillac on the wall!
70s and 80s commercials are incredible if i was ever to advertise something, I would purposefully make it like an 80s commercial because that is what makes it special
I had never heard of this series until a few days ago but I love her already. She's like the female equivalent of Ryan Gosling because she's literally me.
Holy crap i forgot Cathy existed. Read her comics when i was young and thought "haha what a silly adult" now that I too am an adult i wish i could have her life.
What you don’t like a giant tomato cut into thirds, a whole head of lettuce, a big whole pepper, all placed on top of a warm pizza so the salad gets all warm and sweaty? Like every pizza place… 😂
I think Cathy has suddenly been so popular in the algorithm is because of the rise in popularity of analog aesthetic and technology as well as vaporwave and weirdcore.
I vaguely remember watching a Cathy episode recorded on my mom’s VHS tapes & always thought it was a fever dream until UA-cam recommended the same episode last week amongst others. What is happening? Is a Cathy movie in the works???
I wish for a Cathy cartoon reboot, but I have mixed feelings for that. Because the majority of reboots and remakes nowadays have been done dirty. I'm afraid that a reboot would ruin her character along with the other characters, and would use the a different art style than the original that the Cathy reboot might look unrecognizable.
I remember reading Cathy in the newspaper comics when I was a kid. Cathy had body dysmorphia due to being slightly overweight, so in the strip she was always dieting and would usually fail spectacularly. So it's not surprising she's ordering salad. But she'll probably flip out later and order 5 Big Macs or something.

Same though! :O
Theyre probably making a new movie about her soon.

The best voice acting of all time

They really did a great job casting Pepper Ann as Cathy.
I knew Cathy sounded familiar I just couldn't place her.
“She’s like one in a million!”
Cathy is at the absolute height of her power/celebrity influence right here
I'm kind of surprised Cathy was ever popular enough to warrant a commercial.

Oh my god it's Pepper Ann's voice :D
🤯
I love how her voice is so identical in the roles, she has a perfect voice for cartoons. Pepper Ann was such a great show.
i'm so glad you recognized that too :)
In my Cathy head canon, the series peaked when it was a big enough cultural staple to get featured in a McDonald's commercial.

Did you grow up reading newspaper comics? If you did, you might find this lady insanely unfunny
I had an aunt who was a walking talking real life Cathy cartoon...
0:25 why is it so satisfying the way she says peppercorn 😂
It was I had to replay it 😂
Cathy is taking over my feed! ACK!
If they would have done a Pepper Ann McDonalds commercial they would have done it similar to Cathy.
Maybe in the near future.
I’m 28 and have never seen this character until now. Why does UA-cam dig up such random yet interesting videos to show me???

According to the comics, she rarely got her salad tossed.

Aww Cathy with her hourglass screaming mouth
Peak advertising, can't express how blatant it is and the comedic value that creates
I remember this comic from the 80s. I wonder if it's still around anywhere.
I think the author made books of her. Haven’t read it yet but looks like a compilation of comic strips plus new ones
Cathy needs a live action movie or series! Who should be our Cathy? 😂❤
Melissa McCarthy or Cecily Strong, maybe Amy Schumer
Poor Cathy doesn’t have her salads anymore.
Growing up, everyone said Cathy reminded them of my mom. Watching this reminds me of her 😊

Cathy don't go to the supermarket today!

these salads were great, i remember being so excited to have cheddar cheese
This is so nostalgic
Why is youtube recommending me Cathy videos all of the sudden?
I love how people at McDonalds think that women are the only people who eat salads.
Let me guess it's made by a same company that made the Peanuts specials
there's also a windows theme that includes her as a specialty
waiting by the phone for that one guy to call you, some things never change lol
why is this in the style of those kindergarten clipart things

When in doubt, go with your first choice.
McDonald’s throwing shade at single women is high key funny
The commercial is not about that, incel. Get out of your mom's basement and touch grass scrote.
