Are Grimaces a race? In the 70's we met his uncle, which was a green, hairier version of him. A big dollop of something or other. We only ever saw Grimace and for a while, several decades ago, his green uncle; Uncle O'Grimacey.

Obviously the Fry Kids were a race, there was more than one. As was Mayor McCheese and Office Big Mac.

I'm wondering if, in McDonaldland, there might be a whole enclave of Grimace-things living somewhere. Not, like, blacks in African, but like Oompah Loompahs, from the Wonka franchise.

Probably, yeah.

>Grimace used to be an enemy of Ronald McDonald, obsessed with stealing milkshakes
>Had four arms and a kangaroo pouch

Grimace needs to return to his roots as a bad guy. Enough with this kiddifying of his character; bring back the badass!

now this is my type of thread
let's really get into the nitty gritty of McDonald's Grimace Lore

Grimace is dead and the Minion Happy Meal Boxes killed him.

There's a red one that's the mascot for Western Kentucky University

>Grimace stole milkshakes
>Hamburgler stole burgers
>Fry Kids stole fries
>Captain Crook stole fish sandwiches
>Birdie the Early Bird stole breakfasts

Ronald is the ringleader of a criminal organization.

Wow, Amethyst looks weird in this pic. Where's her hair?

He reformed them with HAMBAGA JUSTICE

>Ronald is the ringleader of a criminal organization.

No, it's closer to They all challenged Ronald. He defeated them in combat and they joined his crew as an act of redemption.

Sorta like how all of Goku's friends are former rivals he beat up at one point.

Where did his extra arms go?

Lies. Nothing can kill the Grimace.

Yes

>muh artistic freedom

I think it's just another animation error.

hamburglar ate them because hes a greedy fuck

Imagine if they'd kept the original designs.

They're retractable. Think Stitch from Lilo & Stitch

Have you seen what they did to the Hamburglar recently?

GODDAMMIT BOCO YOU BEAT ME TOO IT!

No, what did they do?

I'm not joking.

They made him handsome.

Grimace's are a bunch of tardos who populate an island in the middle of nowhere. While McDonaldland technology is more advanced than our modern day, they're still living in thatch huts and trying to eat rocks.

Why is he live action?
Why is he a panty-dropper?
What timeline are we in where I have to ask these questions?

>Are Grimaces a race
no, grimmace was a regular citizen of mcdonaldsland until he ate too much mcdonalds

Do you think Grimace is bitter about not being picked to be VP?

This does not represent the average of McDonald's consumers

This is weird because I don't remember him stealing shakes but I remember the Big Mac the cop, Mayor McChesse, the 70's Fry Guys, 70's Burger King, Sir Shakes a Lot, and Duke of Doubt.

Shockingly, people do not want to eat at McDonald's, so they keep trying to figure out what's hip for the kids. This was a while ago, now, but they made these as youtube-teir videos starring this "Hamburglar" who is a dad with kids that he needs to feed. I do not know if they've kept up with it, or what, but they're trying really hard to sell burgers to the internet generation. And that's how we get stuff like this:

How come I haven't seen him in a commerical yet?

Are the others getting a reboot? Grimace? Birdy? etc

Meanwhile, the social media teams of Wendy's, Denny's and Arby's are all masters of shitposting and memes and actually get a following as a result

Yeah the Arby's for Zelda and Samurai Jack were actually good

>Fry Kids
Gobblins.

You got me there.

>I don't remember him stealing shakes

I do, but then, I am old. I miss four-armed Grimace.

Grimace is meant to be a tastebud, that was the original intention, I worked at McDonalds for 5 years and when i found out my eyes went wide like two mexicans seeing an unlocked tenspeed outside a coffee house

>there might be a whole enclave of Grimace-things living somewhere.
If you count The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald as canon, then there's an island of them.

Grimace is Seymour Spider from Sid and Marty Krofft's H.R. Pufnstuf minus four limbs.

boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/archive/index.php/t-156722.html

Presumably drinking all those shakes gave him his physique.

...

He's the Piccolo to Ronald's Goku

Do you mean the original designs that Sid and Marty Kroft did that McDonalds ripped off?

...

Also Nier: Automata.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sid_&_Marty_Krofft_Television_Productions_Inc._v._McDonald's_Corp.

I know the President is friends with one

It's weird I remember Shakes A Lot from Burger King the shake junkie but not the old version of the Grimace..

top kek

Would you?

>Birdie the Early Bird stole breakfasts
As a kid I always wondered what the hell she was supposed to represent.

He's a mix between Will Eisner's The Spirit, and Dean Winchester.

Nothing can kill the grimace.

Stupid sexy Hamburgler

I didn't see that got the pic

Nah, McDonalds is just the origin of DragonBall Z type stories

They're all former villains he beat the shit out of and they joined him.

That was an interesting read. I grew up on HR Pufnstuf AND McDonald's, and I never knew any of this.

>Birdie the Early Bird stole breakfasts
She absolutely did not. She laid eggs that had entire hot breakfasts in them. I won't have you slandering Birdie

I always assumed grimaces were giant, retarded, fryless fry guys.

>Grimace is meant to be a tastebud


Really? Sure, I guess that kinda works.

Bullshit

Wrong
How many times must we tell you?
Nothing can kill the Grimace

>She laid eggs that had entire hot breakfasts in them.

That makes me want to puke.

Hes a spilled milkshake you dumbfuck

So Grimaces are Aboriginals?

That's fucking disgusting.

I would hit that shit

I forgot all about these. Nostalgia from completely out of nowhere.

is that a reference

>I am Burger, King of the Saiyans!

>Not including the full thing
poor show
