# Ronald McDonald Mockeries Andy Dick, Martin Short and PETA Team Up to Talk Chicken By Rachel | Published 2009-08-25 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/andy-dick-PETA References: [ecorazzi](http://www.ecorazzi.com/2009/08/24/ronald-mcdonald-gets-interviewed-by-jiminy-glick-on-funnyordie-com/) & [funnyordie](http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/0c73561a77/video-1?rel=player) When Jiminy Glick (Martin Short) gets the chance to interview Ronald McDonald (Andy Dick), you know it’ll be funny. The Funny or Die video, which was made in connection with [PETA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biodegradable-leather-alternative), has Andy Dick playing Ronald McDonald, though he looks like a scarier version of the clown I remember. The Jiminy Glick interview with Ronald McDonald talks about all of McDonald's practices, suggesting the only way they could be more cruel to chicken would be to waterboard them. As part of PETA’s ‘I’m Hating it’ Campaign, this is a great video from Andy and Martin, though I’m now more afraid of clowns than ever. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Alternative Fast Food:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the fast food industry by offering cruelty-free and more ethically sourced menu options. - **Satirical Advertising:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the advertising industry by creating humorous and attention-grabbing campaigns that challenge traditional marketing tactics. - **Animal Rights Activism:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the activism industry by leveraging humor and popular culture to raise awareness about animal cruelty issues. ### Where This Applies - **Fast Food:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the fast food industry to address concerns related to animal welfare and sustainability. - **Advertising:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the advertising industry to create unconventional and satirical campaigns that resonate with consumers. - **Activism:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the activism industry to engage a wider audience through creative and entertaining approaches. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Burger-Inspired Mystery Mockumentaries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-icon-1.md) - [Reimagined Fast Food Mascots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-kitty-and-mcdonalds.md) - [Branded Short Talk Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/progressives-dr-rick.md) - [Tangy Holiday Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-grinch-meal.md) - [Comedic Mascot Roasts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/game-day-commercial.md) - [Interactive Digital QSR Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonaldland-vr.md) - [Nostalgic Fast Food Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheeky-maccas.md) - [Meat-Free Deli Product Commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meatfree-campaign.md) - [Reprised Iconic Character Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-grinch-meal.md)
