"Happy" the new McDonald's mascot



Not exactly new anymore, but I still remember the moment I saw this thing on television for the first time. As scary Ronald the McDonald's clown is, there is one thing I hate more than clowns:

The rabbids from Rayman, the minions from Despicable Me, the snails from Flushed Away, and the fish from The Lorax.


They were never funny. They simply never were. Yet were are stuck with simple-minded people who keep worshipping this concept of large-mouthed, high-pitched screaming or singing 3D characters, who are their own dubious breed and get rewarded with too much screen time or their own series and games.

I think I have said before that the rabbids get a free pass, as they are the first, but the minions alone can go drink a bathtub of lava. The "humor" that comes from them is too dependant on the way their voices sound, but actual jokes are absent. Why are people even entertained by this?
And now we have a red box with a huge mouth and eyeballs that reminds us of something else. Not something better, mind you, but the fact this is an obvious clone of an obvious clone makes it worse.

Stop making rabbids, everyone.
