The full story behind Taco Bell’s awesome Ronald McDonald commercial

You’ve undoubtedly seen the smartest commercial in fast food history, now watch how Taco Bell assembled so many Ronald McDonalds to take part in the ultimate breakfast endorsement.

Whatever brilliant un-paid intern came up with this idea should be given a full-time job and free Taco Bell for life. Who doesn’t want to support a bunch of dudes who have suffered their entire life at the hands of a big yellow clown? I might go eat the entire breakfast menu in one sitting as a show of solidarity.

You have to wonder how a parent could be so cruel as to name their kid Ronald McDonald. Even Homer Simpsons was concerned about about his son being mocked by other kids for his name, which is why Bart didn’t end up as Larry Fairy and Screwy Louie. I’d be willing to bet that there’s now a secret Facebook group full of Ronald McDonalds where they can swap tales of sorrow. At least they’ve found each other.

Some of the guys clearly pre-date McDonald’s, in which case their parents get a pass. The one kid looks like he was probably named Ronald McDonald in 1998, meaning he has the worst parents in the history of procreation.
