I think they’re referencing atlas shrugged, the book by Ayn Rand, whose “ politics” heavily inspired bioshock’s story, what with Andrew Ryan sharing her objectivist philosophy, and Atlas getting his name from said book.
my favorite bits are the ones that make the brothers exclaim "this is a dumb podcast" at the end of them. especially when i was just thinking the exact same thing haha. god i love them
It's actually kinda crazy how at first they had "McDonalds Land" filled with all sorts of characters and animals, a whole fleshed out lore for McDonalds... And now it's just Ronald, sans pessimistic dog, visiting sick and dying kids in hospitals. Like what did we do as a society to get from a themed world to a defunked clown visiting depressed and sick kids in hospitals
Combination of Supersize Me, growing knowledge of the unhealthiness of fast food, and the fact that the creators of McDonaldland... genuinely, actually ripped off the creators of H.R. Puffnstuf. The wiki said McCheese was removed because of "streamlining," but it was actually because the creators of H.R. Puffnstuff sued McDonald's for bringing them on to make McDonaldland, telling them they changed their mind and weren't doing it, and then doing it anyway without paying them.
I love how quickly the boys move between subjects how the fuck did we get from Mayor McCheese's Decemberist Revolution to a dude living out of his car so fucking fast
i was born in ‘97 and i VAAAAAGUELY remember mcdonaldland, it was like a fictional mcdonald world??? it’s where you got like, all the Main Characters of mcdonald (grimace, the hamburglar, etc), and i also super vaguely remember there being like a cartoon but it may have just been a cartoon short they played at their playplaces idk, i guess they’re phased out now tho so
I'm kind of confused. This channel has right under 100k veiws on ever video but, it has less than a thousand reaction and only a handful of comments. This looks like buying videos.

"It seems your cup of Sprite has gone empty! You can refill it, at THE FOUNTAINHEAD!!"
Amazing
"No gods! No kings! Only fooood!"
NE
I think any McDonald's-Land citizens would be on the preservative end of the spectrum.
Pierce Irvin lol
I WAS FUCKING PLAYING BIOSHOCK WHILE THEY STARTED GOING ON THE LIBERTARIAN TANGENT LMAO
i love when the brothers get to a point where one of them just yells *THIS IS A DUMB PODCAST!*
I've come back to this several times because I love when they hit the Bioshock goof so much

@@jacobgraham8363i mean, somewhat, yes. But also, Travis literally does the Andrew Ryan speech from the intro but with burgers
"you're a puppy in mcdonaldland and your name is sundae! how could you be pessimistic?!"
if you looked like he did then you'd be depressed too
Oh? Hmm... I forget what Sundae looks like.
Lemme just Google sear--
*_HOLY FUCKING SHIT._*
YEAH. OKAY. YEP. YEP. ACCURATE.
my favorite bits are the ones that make the brothers exclaim "this is a dumb podcast" at the end of them. especially when i was just thinking the exact same thing haha. god i love them
I would absolutely buy Bioshock again if Andrew Ryan was replaced by Mayor McCheese
Bioshock (2007, 2K Games)
“Does the sweat of my pickle belong to the Bourgeoisie” is on par with “all of the birds died in 1986 due to Reagan... killing them.”
I thought the birds are drones folx say the last bird died during 911
No gods! No Kings! Only foooood!!
Just realized the end of this bit was a huge bioshock reference after enjoying this bit for years lmao
"His head's a fucking hamburger, and we know that."
Oh boy do I want a tshirt with Mayor McCheese saying, “No Gods, No Kings, Only FOOooOoD!”
pessimistic as a trait wouldn't be assigned to a dog you say? What about droopy? BOOM!
Droopy isn't a dog. He's just an extremely deformed man. That's why he's so depressed
You got me there... They would say
I now demand McDonaldland erotic fan fic.
i wanna see a special sauce bukkake.
I had a McDonaldland movie, about a haunted house where friendship saves people?
that was one of the animated episodes lmao I had it on VHS

Miscellaneous Shadow nah, it’s probably cause a lot of people turn on the McElroy’s in the background whole doing other stuff
