Grimace


Grimace is a fictional character who is part of the marketing campaign of McDonald's. He is a friend of Ronald McDonald and a large, jolly fellow who looks like a large purple gumdrop with small arms and legs. He is known for his smiling face and simple demeanor. His most common expression is the word "duh". Grimace's name is pronounced /ˈgɹɪməs/.
In the first cycle of McDonaldland commercials beginning in 1971, Grimace was the "Evil Grimace", with two pairs of arms with which to steal milkshakes. After that first campaign, the character was revised to be one of the "good guys", and his number of arms was reduced to two. Today, Grimace is generally portrayed in McDonald's commercials and merchandise as a sort of well-meaning doofus, whose clumsy antics provide a comic foil to the more serious and mature Ronald McDonald.
Grimace is a fantasy character, and not intended to be anything specific. However, ever since the character's introduction there has been much speculation (though much of it tongue-in-cheek) about his appearance. Because the majority of McDonald's characters more or less directly represent a food product sold at the restaurants (e.g., Mayor McCheese, Fry Guys, McNugget Buddies, etc.) many have naturally tried to guess as to what, if any, food product Grimace is supposed to represent. It is often suggested that he represents the contents of a milkshake. Grimace's "official" role, according to McDonald's, continues to be representative of the chain's milkshakes. However, he does this out of love for the taste, and not because he is in any way a shake-based creature himself. Speculation has surfaced in recent years that Grimace is in fact a mythical sort of eggplant man.
According to the McDonald's website:
?Grimace is a big, loving, fuzzy purple fellow who is Ronald McDonald's best friend. He's sure Ronald is the world's ultimate authority on everything. While Grimace loves all McDonald's foods, he's absolutely crazy about milkshakes. Grimace is very enthusiastic and eager to try new things. His joyous spirit helps everyone overlook the fact he's a little slow and clumsy sometimes.?Grimace also has a relative, Uncle O'Grimacey, a green-colored Irish-version of himself. O'Grimacey was a holiday-themed character used by McDonald's in the 1980s in celebrating St. Patrick's Day, in particular marketing its Shamrock Shake. In Brazil, Grimace is known by the name of Shaky. A record released with Happy Meals (McLanche Feliz in Portuguese) in the early '90s featured a song about Shaky called "L? Vem o Shaky" ("Here Comes Shaky"). In the song, Shaky puts his shoes on the wrong feet, which causes a lot of confusion.
In the turn-of-the-millennium direct-to-video animated feature The Legend of Grimace Island, viewers learn that "Grimace" is actually the name of his species as the McDonald's gang sails to his ancestral country, currently governed by King Gonga. The islanders range in color from various shades of purple to dark blue, share the frequent use of the word "duh," wear vaguely Polynesian dress, and enjoy dancing with drum music. Centuries ago, the timid Grimaces were plagued by raiders and thus decided to cut their island loose from the ocean floor to drift away into obscurity. Nobody is permitted to visit for fear of leading thieves to the island, but apparently some inhabitants emigrated after the isolation since Grimace was able to follow a map left to him by his great-great-grandfather. The video also includes a brief live-action home movie dating to Grimace's infancy.
According to a line of dialogue from Clerks: The Animated Series, "Nothing can kill The Grimace." Grimace was also referenced in one episode of Family Guy when Peter Griffin referred to him as "Ronald McDonald's autistic friend" after Lois Griffin comes in the bedroom for "roleplaying night" dressed as Grimace.
In the UK, Grimace is no longer used in advertising or promotions. In the Province of Quebec, Canada, even though Grimace is a French word, the character is known by the name of "Grosse Douceur" which means "Big Sweet".

Re: WTF is Grimace?

Absolutely hilarious- wondering if he is sporting that outfit at WMC. Thanks for tthe findings and reviving an old laugh Hambino!

Re: WTF is Grimace?

. Anytime.
I bet he is sporting that down there. Idon't think he would stand out to be honest.
About the grimace thing, it's actually a pretty widely debated subject and I did not know that. Peeps in New York were told by Mcd's management that he is a tastebud . who'd a thunk it. One again it's been a avery boring day at work.

I think Grimace is the muscle of the group. If there's any problems, he takes care of them.

Re: WTF is Grimace?

This thread caught me off guard for sure. HAHA

I would assume grimace symbolizes the fun involved in your McDonalds experience. I would like to hear from their people however, regarding what decisions were made to arrive at making a purple fucking gumdrop douchebag part of an otherwise sweet gang.

You cannot fuck with the hamburgler though. That dude is money. Remember when he used to talk and shit in the commercials? He's a wild motherfucker.

BWAAHAHAHAHA!!!^^^^

More importantly, how the hell does the purple bastard do the nasty??? He had to have done something after all there is teh Barney
