BREAKING: Willard Scott has passed away at the age of 87. Beyond his time as a weatherman, he probably was best known as the very first Ronald McDonald. That's probably a little known fact that that very weatherman played such a role for the fast food chain which was history for Mickey D's.
Ronald can’t stay on the road for so long. Imagine that the white Volkswagen Bug backing up is going to hit Ronald straight forward, but I’m pretty sure that the person who drove the Bug didn’t notice there was a commercial being shot at so he probably went over it.
This version of Ronald is like a real-life Krusty. You can imagine him lighting up a cigarette and muttering under his breath as soon as the camera stops.
@@jwash3rd It was beef tallow. All about convenience since a restaurant had an unlimited supply of that. And yeah, the 70's fries were much better (60's was a bit before my time).
Ah, the good old days... Even our commercials were so much more carefully crafted, edifying, intelligent and mature than the mindless drivel we're subject to today.
The original costume for Ronald would be the perfect appearance for a slasher villain. I would love to see a clown slasher villain but in Ronald's old outfit from Willard Scott.
Did Willard Scott invent Ronald McDonald? He claimed that he created the character, the franchise has always insisted that it was their idea. Guess we'll never know.
Unfortunately, I was there and got a free hamburger once from that guy at the Tacoma Park, Maryland McDonalds. He was less scary as Bozo the Clown. I figured out one day it was the same guy. Then he became the weatherman.
RIP to Willard Scott, the creator and original portrayer of Ronald McDonald
😢
What happend?

Happy 60th birthday to Ronald Mcdonald, who has been with us since 1963.
I can't believe it, a real McDonald's burger! Is not photoshoted!
a real life mcdonald's burger
It's more than real, it's actual.
I once dressed like him at a Halloween party. I won a prize for most creative costume.
It's actually plastic. If you look.. the fries are obviously fake.

Love that Ted Bundy is just casually pulling out of the parking spot space
😂😂😂
Hilarious! At the end of the commercial, Willard drops his arms and looks at the camera as if to say "please say we're done!"
Apparently the editing was kinda bad back then.

He also couldn't breath with that cup over his nose. I'm sure many kids were traumatized by Ronalds appearance...lol

I've heard that the actor had issues with alcoholism, may he rest in peace.
That would be funny
i bet when mcdonalds first came out it was decent quality stuff
The McDonald's from the 80s tasted better than today.
mcdonald’s in the 70s and 80s was worthy of the whole family eating for dinner.
In the '60, the fries were fried in lard. Best ever.

Back when the ice cream machine isn't always broken
Willard Scott is the best Ronald Mcdonald.
Love the '50s and early '60s cars.
Rest in Peace Willard Scott (1934-2021)🕊️
R.I.P. Willard Scott
I never saw Ronald as scary or unsettling. I always just saw him as a lovable mascot
"Ronald, you can't be _on_ TV and watch it at the same time!" Hilarious! Apparently the people from the 60s had never heard of inception!
Well they didn't know that plutonium and atomization from nuclear fission could dissolve your bones either.
@@MrWolfSnack Not if you duck and cover.
Why is no one talking about how terrifying this version of Ronald McDonald is
He doesn't even look like a clown but him in black and white yeah it's creepy
First time seeing this version of ronald mcdonald
It is, but the fries distracted me😅
They do. He just looks like your drunk uncles last minute Halloween costume
I did on a different video
The scariest part about this whole commercial is not the clown, it's the moment when you realize the golden arches do not, in fact, make the letter M.
The person announcing voice overs in the background, is his Joy Boys Radio sidekick, the late Ed Walker.
There is no way that this would be allowed to air on tv nowadays
Answer the question lol
Was it because it was 2016 during the time you made your comment
Interesting that the white Volkswagen bug is pulling out of his parking space as Ronald is dancing around the parking lot.
I love this vintage mcdonalds commercial from 1963 100% good
What the hell is he doing in a dark room watching footage of a parking lot??
Marvin the Maniac 😂😂😂😂😂
@@mysterymen8486 seriously.
That’s what I’m saying lol
@@itz_jacoby3 two great minds think alike
And also whats up with him speaking while still in the dark.
What? It's not creepy at all. It's ridiculous!
Of course.
True! He looks like he's wearing garbage
I swear I saw some handcuffs and a bottle of ether in the background.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ronald McDonald: "They belong to The Hamburglar!"
Ah, the good old days... Even our commercials were so much more carefully crafted, edifying, intelligent and mature than the mindless drivel we're subject to today.
Yes this was definitely carefully crafted... 😂😂
Rip Willard Scott
I love driving past that place even if I dont eat there
Checkers or Rallys has better hamburgers and fries
A mi me parecio simpatico ese payaso, e incluso mucho mejor que el de ahora.
Zacarias Larry Kapinga. si verdad para mi no tiene nada de perturbador
This didn't scare me! It make me laugh 😂😂😂😂 his dance killed me!!!
Esto no me espanto! Me hizo reir!!! 😂😂😂😂 su baile me mato!!!
In the picture he’s creepy. In the commercials he’s less creepy.
I saw the picture last night and was kept up for two hours. Today I watched the commercial in broad daylight and realized how stupid-looking he is.
HAD TO START SOMEWHERE RIGHT. GORGEOUS LOL
Willard Scott as Ronald McDonald. Funny and awesome.
RIP Willard Scott.
The performer looks like he's having the time of his life. Also RIP
You know what this is my favorite fast food mascot
The original costume for Ronald would be the perfect appearance for a slasher villain. I would love to see a clown slasher villain but in Ronald's old outfit from Willard Scott.
Dross 2.0 me trajo aquí xdXdXDxD
Ese era el Dross Beta nomah xD
Dross con acento medio oriental
Another cute mascot that started as being creepy
Well THAT was terrifying.
I need that magic tray
Me too
You do not know how high I squealed. I fucking love him! xD
Hmmm...I like what I see. Let's put this guy on the Today Show so he can announce over 100 year old birthdays!
I really miss Ronald McDonald
This is from Omega Flowey's hurt sounds
happy 50th birthday Ronald Mcdonald!

Talk about nostalgia
SpongeBob HemePants is the only cartoon character that appeared in every short one year
Did you know McDonald's Opened In 1955
15 cent hamburgers? damn. i would be eating fast food all the time...
Dick Van Dyke or Gary Busey?
This should have been in The Founder
Me:Yes officer that's the clown that asked if I wanted fries with my shake!
WOW this video is so old I just saw this 2/21/2019 February 21
Creepy. I don’t like the cup as his nose.
Trippy
Just before JFK was iced, I assume.
It’s been 60 years we seen this wholesome clown
Time for a McDonald's trip and a Filet 0 Fish

They got rid of the idea because they said the clown was too fat
imagine if someone says nostalgia here even tho its fucking 1963
How is it not nostalgia? Nostalgia doesn't mean anything before 1950.
Oh God
Good they are McDonald's burgers how many cases of obesity has skyrocketed since love❤ the quarter pounder and fish filet😀😀😀
He acts just like michael keaton almost like the founder played ronald himself
0:50 He's Ronald McDonald
The hamburger happy clown
a McDonald's drive in restaurant
its his favourite place in town
Did you know SpongeBob HemePants and Ronald McDonald Actually Met In One Episode Of SpongeBob The Sitcom
@SriTanSap No The First Time That SpongeBob HemePants Met Ronald McDonald Was In 1965
why is everyone speaking Spanish?
apparently some spanish speaking youtuber mentioned this and his followers just came to check it out
Ando Larousse oh ok now i understand
¿Por qué? ¿Te asustan los españoles?

The description, sir.
Ronald McDonald vs freddy Krueger 1984 baby
The subtitles are screwed up it says him hamburger eating his clown one what the heck
Hello Willard sad clown .... rest in peace !!!!!!!!!
Bring him back!!!
i think his original look was kinda creative, but 0:49 what's he doing?
I dunno
Im just saying why did he need to have his nose as a cup
Let's face it, Ed Walker and Willard Scott are right. We're all "boys and girls" in spirit!
Maybe that should Be Ronald McDonald’s Father
So did I... So did I...
Who thought of the cupped nose or food hat?
im see vw beetle in tv mcdonald😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Very creepy!
I know!
Very nostalgic
I KNOW!!!
Yes
Just think JFK probably saw this at some point that year. Marilyn Monroe on the other hand never saw a McDonald's commercial.
Pennywise worker class cousin:
Should of kept that hamburger from this commercial, for a museum.
2019 Anyone
Alguien más vino por Mr. Retro?
Me gusta este McDonal, es copado jaja esta bueno !
