I’m going to guess that this is probably going to be rather easy for someone. However, I remembered it sometime ago, and, I can’t seem to place where I originally saw it. I would just really like some confirmation it actually existed with perhaps an idea of where I might’ve seen it
As stated in the title, this is a McDonald’s commercial where Ronald reads a bedtime story to the fry guys. The part that stands out to me is one of the fry guys yelling “I have to go to the bathroom”. For some reason, I found that absolutely hilarious as a kid. I would’ve seen it somewhere between 1988 and 1992. My guess is that it’s closer to the 90’s end of that timeframe, but I’m including the whole timeframe because it is possible. It is also theoretically possible that it’s newer than 92. However, we moved in 1992, and I’m pretty positive I saw it before we moved . I remember watching the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie VHS and quite a few Disney VHSs released during that time. It also could’ve just been on TV because we used to record a lot of things from TV. The only specific thing I can remember recording is a whole lot of Simpsons episodes
Anyway, thank you for your time for even reading this, and hopefully, I will at least find someone else who remembers this to reminisce with 😂

...I distinctly recall this, almost scene for scene, but I have no idea where or how to find it. Having looked up Fry Guy now I'm certain of it, since they were multicolored puffball things with googly eyes, which is what i recalled almost immediately after just seeing the thread title. And yes this almost certainly had to be in the early to mid nineties. IDK about the VHS part but I remember it being on TV so it's just as likely you may be remembering an actual recording your family made from TV in fact. I wish I could help further but perhaps the knowledge that you didn't just imagine this will be of some use.
I’m glad that at least somebody remembers it. There’s a very good chance it was recorded from TV. There’s just no way for me to remember what show I was watching or what channel it was on because it was nearly 30 years ago. Maybe I was just hoping it was on a VHS because then may be some collector of would own it 😁 . I had forgotten it for a while, and then, I instantly remembered it while watching a YouTube video about old MacDonalds commercial’s. Now, it occasionally pops into my head whenever someone mentions going to the bathroom 😂
Was this a commercial or was this just one of the wraparounds for the McDonald's Family Showcase or whatever they called it? There was a sponsored movie program that aired during the holidays back in the early 90s that featured bumpers similar to what you described with Ronald and the Fry Kids.
It was either a commercial, a trailer on a VHS or maybe even some kind of bumper. However, I am pretty certain, in fact, almost 100% certain that I saw it on a show that was not related to McDonald’s itself The fact that this was nearly 30 years ago does leave room for error, but I don’t ever remember watching a show about McDonald’s as a child
Also, now that I know it exists, I’m going to ask my brother about it. He usually just tells me I imagine stuff like this, so I wanted confirmation first
This isn't the one you're looking for but I'm 100% sure you're referring to an airing of McDonald's Family Theater, which was a wraparound for various TV movies aired mostly during the holiday season. The movies themselves had nothing to do with McDonald's aside from the wraparounds.
I found it through asking the “Filming in McDonaldland” page as he helped work on pretty much all of them and will usually know what you’re talking about should you ask about another lost McDonaldland commercial.
Wow! Thank you so much. I guess I really shouldn’t have doubted that someone on this site would find it. This place really is awesome. It’s like nostalgia scavenger hunts 😂
