In case I didn't state it before, I've created two separate "folders" for such instances of topical morsels, so, I suppose, I should finally get to posting, at the very least, a few now.


The Mayor


trivial quotable: McDonald's Characters
Quote:
Mayor McCheese was an enormous cheeseburger who appeared from 1971–1985, he has a burger for a head, and sports a top hat, a diplomat's sash, and a pair of pince-nez spectacles. He is portrayed as a giggly, bumbling, somewhat incompetent mayor. He was based on H.R. Pufnstuf. Though the character was dropped during the streamlining of the characters in the mid-1980s, he did appear in a 1999 "The Wacky World of Ronald McDonald" VHS entitled "Have Time, Will Travel" and a non-speaking cameo in "The Monster O' McDonaldland Loch." Mayor McCheese was voiced by Howard Morris impersonating Ed Wynn in the commercials and by Bob Joles also impersonating Ed Wynn in "The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald."
