Conan O’Brien?
My thoughts exactly
With Leno chin.
Wow I’m old, I remember this nightmare.
Depending on your age Mactonight are two completely different things. If your gen-x or millennial Mactonight is the weird fast food mascot you saw at McDonald’s 20 years ago. If your a zoomer Mactonight is Moonman, the vaporwave, alt-right rapper who loves to say the n-word and kill minorities.
I remember my dad listening to Moonman songs.
I’m an older millennial who’s fairly into vaporwave and I’ve never heard of this racist rapper version of mac tonight. The food mascot from the 80s (twenty years ago was 2004, btw) fits in with the 80s samples vaporwave uses, like this Saint Pepsi track:
Moon Man isn’t really a vaporwave thing. It’s a meme that originated from YTMND in the late 2000’s which rebranded Mac Tonight as a white supremacist rapper, often accompanied with slur-filled text-to-speech parodies of various rap songs.
It’s not the reason McDonalds ditched the mascot (that was due to an entirely unrelated trademark infringement lawsuit filed by Bobby Darin’s son in 1989), but it is a big reason why they started actively pulling down Mac Tonight animatronics in their restaurants which were otherwise being left disused.
The most infamous Moon Man thing to exist is a controversial DOOM mod which replaces all the enemies with incredibly xenophobic depictions of minorities, and adds a roster of several playable characters including him, Hitler and Ben Garrison.
What the actual fuck‽
This is the one I found as well. I wonder what happened to saint Pepsi?
“(twenty years ago was 2004, btw)”
I know that but if you were a millennial it would have been 20 years ago.
Fun fact: This was actor and contortionist Doug Jones’s first role.
I remember the McDonald’s near my high school had a maybe 3/4 sized version hanging from the ceiling for a few years. Couldn’t get to the ball pit fast enough to escape that uncanny nightmare…
CrackTonight
I don’t think adding sunglasses is going to make that any less of a nightmare.
“any of you kids wanna see a dead fry cook?”
I’m not sure how much sunglasses will help this nightmare.
Looks like Bob Hope.
Please someone mixes Radiohead’s album The bends with this
Is that Jack Nicholson?
Mac Tonight-mare
Sing me a song, you’re the bananaman…
