So when I was a kid (and probably you were too) they used to show these MacDonald's commercials where various beings would steal McDonald's food from Ronald McDonald and/or children. Grimace was a blobby fat monster that stole shakes, Captain Crook stole filet-o'-fishes, Fry-Guys stole french fries and the Hamburglar stole... hamburgers.
Except I also grew up in Japan and I used to tell people here about how, in Japan, Ronald McDonald would just shoot laser beams from his hands at his enemies whenever they tried to pull that shit. For some reason, nobody would believe me.
Anyway--
There was also a later one in this same series where the Hamburglar tried to escape on a motor scooter and Ronald blew the wheels out from under him with hoops of light, but unfortunately I can't find that one.
I also tried finding some Japanese Dunkin' Donut commercials from when I was a kid. They were just the American ads with some Japanese people inserted into them but I still liked them. Well it turns out that of all the countries in the world that have Dunkin Donuts, Japan does NOT. The most popular donut brand in Japan is Mr Donut (also MisuDo or ミスド) Mr. Donut was once a big player in fast food and even originated in The United States but, like Shakey's Pizza, now operates primarily in Asia with only a few locations in the U.S.
And with cute ads like this, I can see why:
Certainly better that listening to fat old John Goodman telling you to trundle your butt down to Dunkin' Donuts.
