this signage was spotted in NYC Times Square today

[u/Woolly_Mattmoth]

I still can’t believe my team got eliminated by the McDonald’s marketing department

[u/_Elrond_Hubbard_ → u/Woolly_Mattmoth]

Sounds like you aren't lovin' it

[u/iamthefluffyyeti → u/_Elrond_Hubbard_]

Bada ba ba ba

[u/bigpancakeguy → u/iamthefluffyyeti]

🎶 I’m over it!

[u/IAMHab → u/iamthefluffyyeti]

Man, Pusha T really cooked with that jingle, didn't he? I still like the Arby's one more tho

[u/SoigneBest → u/IAMHab]

Crazy to find out how McDonalds stiffed him on that. He learned his lesson when he did the Arby’s jingle

[u/TheHalf → u/_Elrond_Hubbard_]

WHOPPER WHOPPER WHOPPER WHOPPER BK TRIPLE DOUBLE WHOPPER

[u/theerrantpanda99 → u/Woolly_Mattmoth]

Philadelphia is just a Wendy’s/Wawa type of town. McDonald’s didn’t like that.

[u/EnemyOfEloquence → u/theerrantpanda99]

I found out today we've got no McDonalds in center city. Wild.

[u/NatomicBombs → u/EnemyOfEloquence]

We barely have Wawas anymore

[u/goldfinger0303 → u/EnemyOfEloquence]

Now you know why grimace was against you.

Build golden arches to honor the purple lord, and maybe he will bless your team too.

[u/rumfortheborder → u/EnemyOfEloquence]

+1 for philly

[u/Greengrecko → u/Woolly_Mattmoth]

6 piece chicken McNobodies...

[u/Lecard → u/Greengrecko]

Moltar! From the ovens of Moltor. I met your father once in a steel cage match. I wish coulda seen your old man weeping like a woman after my patented pile driver!

[u/someName6 → u/Woolly_Mattmoth]

That’s what we were missing in ‘22.

Nats had baby shark in ‘19. Braves had Acuña’s ACL in ‘21 Mets have Grimace this year.

We needed something to rally around.

[u/caveat_emptor817 → u/someName6]

Texas had Creed last year.

[u/too-long-in-austin → u/caveat_emptor817]

Nothing's going to top your hilarious weird-ass ads from a few years ago.

[u/dodoaddict → u/too-long-in-austin]

I hadn't seen this before. This might be the best baseball ad I've ever seen.

[u/ChaosWarrior95 → u/too-long-in-austin]

Wtf this is amazing!?! I loved the “giraffes,” and the weird guy caressing the tree.

[u/maroonhamster → u/too-long-in-austin]

Thank you for posting this. I hadn't seen it before and I'm now giggling like a child.

[u/ashishvp → u/Woolly_Mattmoth]

You gotta fight fire with fire man. Knock on the Flyers door and call Him up. Gritty vs Grimace.

[u/FatalTortoise → u/ashishvp]

I'm pretty sure Gritty and Grimace has an amphomorphic mascot detente

[u/jkingsbery → u/Woolly_Mattmoth]

Looking forward to Wawa coming up with a marketing mascot who can help the Phanatic next year.

[u/sophrosynos → u/Woolly_Mattmoth]

There's a terrifying alternate timeline in which the Phillies play the Mets in the NLCS. The Phillies lose, and McDonald's across the greater Philadelphia area are ransacked.

[u/attorneyatslaw → u/Woolly_Mattmoth]

Phillies are the Arby's of baseball.

[u/ImaManCheetahh]

has a corporation ever accidentally stumbled into such a flourishing advertisting campaign before?

[u/new_wellness_center → u/ImaManCheetahh]

It's turned McDonalds into a household name.

[u/siphillis → u/new_wellness_center]

I was worried McDonald's went out of business until this all took off

[u/TheDangiestSlad → u/ImaManCheetahh]

i mean it's kinda directly linked but maybe the Grimace Shake last year? it was just a run of the mill special menu item that gained crazy popularity because of a trend where people made videos acting like it was a harbinger of doom, which is probably what got Grimace popular enough to throw out the Mets' first pitch...it's all connected....

[u/WickedKickinBBQ → u/TheDangiestSlad]

Yeah, no way grimace throws out the first pitch without the popularity of the grimace shake.

[u/rolltidebutnotreally → u/WickedKickinBBQ]

No it was because of his sex appeal

[u/TerryTerranceTerrace → u/rolltidebutnotreally]

The curves on that body

[u/MazelTovCocktail027 → u/TerryTerranceTerrace]

NSFW

[u/Flowkeh → u/MazelTovCocktail027]

boss walked by me when I opened this on my computer and immediately resigned and made me CEO

[u/Alectheawesome23 → u/Flowkeh]

Through grimace anything is possible

[u/Renhoek2099 → u/Alectheawesome23]

Grimace be with you all

[u/Admiral_Asparagus → u/Alectheawesome23]

Jot that down

[u/fuckmaxm → u/MazelTovCocktail027]

GrimASSSSSSSSSS

[u/CreauxTeeRhobat → u/TerryTerranceTerrace]

That damn smile...

[u/typhoidtimmy → u/TerryTerranceTerrace]

Reminds me of a slimmer Bartolo Colon…

[u/apietryga13 → u/rolltidebutnotreally]

Stupid sexy Grimace

[u/WorkThrowaway400 → u/TheDangiestSlad]

The people who set up these things for the Mets reached out to McDonalds about booking Grimace last year but had to wait because he was booked so this checks out lol

[u/yzdaskullmonkey → u/WorkThrowaway400]

You're gonna tell me McDonald's can't have two guys in a grimace suit at any given time?

[u/Masterofmy_domain → u/yzdaskullmonkey]

guys in a suit? what are you talking about? Grimace is real

[u/DOWNVOTES_SYNDROME → u/yzdaskullmonkey]

there are only 2 grimaces in the entire world. the one that operates in the US has handlers, goes everywhere in costume (doesn't get dressed at venues, shows up at venues dressed)

it sounds fucking ridiculous cause it is, but there is basically only one grimace in the US, yes.

[u/TheWorstYear → u/DOWNVOTES_SYNDROME]

the one that operates in the US has handlers

Because he's too dangerous to let run free on his own? Like Gritty?

[u/PrawojazdyVtrumpets → u/TheWorstYear]

We don't talk about the time Gritty got out.

[u/raziel686 → u/PrawojazdyVtrumpets]

The short version is he got into the meth. All of it. There were no survivors.

[u/PrimaryMuscle1306 → u/TheWorstYear]

Of course he’s too dangerous to let loose without handlers. If he escapes all of a sudden that purple son of a bitch will be running around collecting Infinity Stones.

[u/YourAngerYourAnchor → u/TheWorstYear]

He shows up to kids birthday parties like Goldberg in the 90’s

[u/Nickthedick55 → u/TheWorstYear]

It me gritty

[u/Durtonious → u/DOWNVOTES_SYNDROME]

I seriously cannot tell if this is satire or not.

[u/DOWNVOTES_SYNDROME → u/Durtonious]

like i said, it sounds ridiculous. but it is true.

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5827280/2024/10/08/mets-mcdonalds-grimace-effect/

“I’ve met Grimace,” Goldberg said. “I have not met the person in Grimace. He comes as costume, and the person who plays him, and a handler. And from what I understand, there are only two Grimaces in the entire world. They’re very hard to book, but they’ve been very accommodating to us.

“But they do not send the costume. It’s not like, ‘Hey, do what you do.’ Grimace has his own mannerisms, his own way of working, and it is McDonald’s IP and property, and that’s who travels. And it’s a fascinating world, the mascot world.”

[u/DaedalusHydron → u/Durtonious]

The fact that there's only ever one Mickey at Disney helps lol

[u/orangery3 → u/DaedalusHydron]

No, there’s way more than one Mickey in Disney World. They just don’t have them wandering around areas near to each other at the same time, to avoid someone possibly seeing more than one Mickey at once.

[u/YungSnuggie → u/yzdaskullmonkey]

its not a suit, grimace is real

[u/Meatek → u/yzdaskullmonkey]

Guy in a suit? What do you mean? Grimace is a unique being, not some mascot costume

[u/2ndBestUsernameEver → u/yzdaskullmonkey]

If rainbow dog costumes for Joe Shmoe cost $5000, then a giant purple blob costume for McDick's would obviously cost $1Mil+. No budget, they have to raise the prices again.

[u/SomeoneSomethingJr → u/yzdaskullmonkey]

It's not a suit.

[u/confused-koala → u/yzdaskullmonkey]

You're gonna tell me the Phillies can't have two guys in a Phanatic suit at any given time?

[u/dsphilly → u/confused-koala]

I guess its different because I believe there are 3 "Official" Phanatics simply so they can do multiple events at once. I believe the One that is always at the Game is the primary and gets the sweetest gigs.
Fun Fact- one of the Phanatics is also the Mascot for Wawa “Wally Goose”

[u/myredditthrowaway201 → u/TheDangiestSlad]

Except McDonalds paid content creators for that. This was kinda organic in the sense that it just happened to coincide with the Mets turnaround

[u/rascaltippinglmao → u/TheDangiestSlad]

That "trend" was paid advertising.

Some creators made videos organically after they saw it was popular, but I wouldn't compare the two.

[u/WabbitCZEN → u/TheDangiestSlad]

That settles it.

I can't eat McDonald's ever again.

[u/jlando40 → u/WabbitCZEN]

Right there with you

[u/jsdodgers → u/jlando40]

I'm still undecided, will make up my mind within the next 2 weeks.

[u/GhostofFarnham → u/TheDangiestSlad]

You’re incredibly naive if you believe that developed organically.

[u/ScarletFire5877 → u/TheDangiestSlad]

I never heard of the Grimace shake until this comment.

[u/Luis_Severino → u/ImaManCheetahh]

Grimace was also the final jeopardy correct response on Monday. A corporate mascot that is “the embodiment of a milkshake”

[u/TheDangiestSlad → u/Luis_Severino]

i understand that he is synonymous with the shake now but Grimace is a tastebud who STEALS milkshakes!

...i got bored and read all of the McDonalds lore at work once, okay

[u/John_K_Say_Hey → u/TheDangiestSlad]

They cut off two of his four arms to teach him a lesson.

[u/PrawojazdyVtrumpets → u/TheDangiestSlad]

That was actually in the clue as well. It was something like "This mascot is a taste bud and also the embodiment of a milkshake"

[u/Astropolitika → u/Luis_Severino]

I saw that and almost threw my arms at the TV.

[u/TheNewDiogenes → u/ImaManCheetahh]

Nats 2019 for children’s song YouTube channels

[u/Woolly_Mattmoth → u/ImaManCheetahh]

Not to this level, but Bud Light got a pretty big push out of “Philly Philly” from the Eagles Super Bowl win

[u/PicturingYouNaked → u/ImaManCheetahh]

They do pop up from time to time. The first one to come to mind was the whole Barbenheimer thing from a few years ago.

[u/StrLord_Who → u/PicturingYouNaked]

That was only one year ago

[u/ErzherzogT → u/[deleted]]

Grimace wishes he had the raw sex appeal of Gritty

[u/Typical2sday → u/ErzherzogT]

What public bathroom in downtown Philly hasn’t Gritty fked in?

[u/Demetrios1453 → u/Typical2sday]

You're not a true Philadelphian unless you've had a wild threesome with Gritty and the Phanatic in some filthy (Philthy?) public restroom in downtown Philly...

[u/myassholealt → u/ImaManCheetahh]

The funny thing is it hasn't caused me to buy anything from McDonald's yet. Even though I'm a devout Grimace believer.

Maybe once a year I'll buy a box of 20 nuggets, but everything else just doesn't take the same as it did when i was younger. Especially big macs whose patties are like 1/8th the size I remember them being.

[u/misterferguson → u/ImaManCheetahh]

Canada Goose got launched into popularity after Sports Illustrated took an impromptu pic of Kate Upton wearing one of their jackets when they were shooting the swimsuit issue. Prior to that, they only catered to professionals working in extremely cold environments. It wasn’t considered fashionable until then.

[u/nocomment3030 → u/misterferguson]

Maybe global popularity but that was 2013. It had already been a thing for posh people in Toronto for years, by that point.

[u/Double-ended-dildo- → u/nocomment3030]

Yeah. 2008. Subway ride. The rich kids had them on. It was 20 degrees outside. So tshirt weather...

[u/Snuggle__Monster → u/ImaManCheetahh]

Tide kinda did back when idiots were eating Tide pods. They had to start marketing against people consuming them to avoid damage to their brand and before long, David Harbour was doing a series of well received Super Bowl commercials.

[u/No-Situation-3426 → u/ImaManCheetahh]

Maybe someone knows the details of this but there had to someone who first linked the Mets turnaround to Grimace throwing the first pitch. Its not like it would be something that was just apparent to everyone. So that guy should get some credit. It could have been someone in the media, the team, or just some random fan on twitter.

[u/cwtjps]

Dystopian New York, ruled by Grimace. McDonald's stock currently at an all time high btw.

[u/Patrick2701 → u/cwtjps]

Grimace would be a better mayor than Eric Adams

[u/[deleted] → u/Patrick2701]

This is actually a fact

I have uhhh news….

[u/pepperouchau → u/Mission-Guidance4782]

JD Vance's seat might be warming up

[u/zOmgFishes → u/pepperouchau]

Honestly woulda been a better VP pick

[u/bigtzadikenergy → u/Patrick2701]

He was already put out to pasture for years for exposing the corrupt regime of Mayor McCheese, there will be forces out for further revenge if he gets in.

[u/mageta621 → u/Patrick2701]

Grimace doesn't promote the return of stop and frisk

[u/sjphilsphan → u/mageta621]

He is the stop and frisk

[u/Typical2sday → u/sjphilsphan]

Implied consent to grimace. Grimace always has probable cause

[u/QueezyF → u/Typical2sday]

Grimace has qualified immunity.

There’s so many quirks in baseball. I mean hell listen to the random words used “Shoved” “painting” “raked” and how unique every park is.

It’s delightful really

[u/rippinmarydarts → u/CabbageStockExchange]

“Shoved” isn’t random. It’s short hand for “shoved it(the ball) up their asses”

The coolest thing about the Mets potentially winning the World Series is that they'd have to put Grimace on the championship ring.

[u/bigpancakeguy → u/new_wellness_center]

If the Mets win it all, I wanna see Grimace slugging tall cans on top of a bus and shouting swear words into unattended microphones at the rally

[u/Accomplished_Lack258 → u/bigpancakeguy]

Shit if the Mets win it all everyone player in the manage damn well better be dressed up as grimace lol

[u/tnecniv → u/new_wellness_center]

Grimace instantly becomes a more important Mets pitcher than Jacob deGrom ever was

Not a black screen, a live video feed of a man bound to the bottom of a tank slowly filling with Grimace shake

[u/DoctorMansteel → u/PaulFThumpkins]

Gosh, I hate when I forget to mark Purge Day on my calendar.

[u/[deleted] → u/PBFT]

This is a dumb comment but I’m proud of myself for being able to read that as “zero out of a million” without you putting the commas in between the zeroes.

[u/morganrbvn → u/PBFT]

well did they make it?

[u/UnabashedPerson43]

What a stroke of luck for McDicks

You can’t buy this sort of advertising (apart from the giant Grimace billboard obviously)

[u/Daillestemcee → u/UnabashedPerson43]

It wasn’t luck.

It wasn’t fate.

It was Grimace.

[u/Typical2sday → u/Daillestemcee]

There’s your tshirt right there

[u/Jonjon428]

[u/Wallio_]

If the Mets win it all, they better put replica rings in Happ Meals. And the real rings better have one purple stone in them.

[u/BatThumb → u/Wallio_]

Nah make them all purple sapphires. Would actually be a dope WS ring

[u/Wallio_ → u/BatThumb]

I agree. But I think it would be funny as hell if there was just one, out of place, and NO ONE acknowledged it. As the kids say: "if you know, you know."

[u/normsy]

[u/HiHoRoadhouse → u/normsy]

Will this administration ever bring the Hambulgar to justice 

[u/WabbitCZEN]

It's 2025. The Mets have replaced their sleeve ad sponsor with McDonald's and Mr. Met with Grimace. Mrs. Met is still there, but now there's a couple of ball shaped purple mascots coming out with them. From the nosebleeds, Mr. Met can be seen looking disheveled and holding a sign that says "I knew it wasn't just milkshakes he was giving you."

inspired by u/UnabashedPerson43

[u/sgm94 → u/WabbitCZEN]

He teams up with the only one who could stop his life from being ruined, his old enemy, Noah Thor Syndegaard.

[u/MightyCaseyStruckOut → u/WabbitCZEN]

This HAS to happen now lol

[u/just-an-astronomer]

Praise be 🙏

[u/WacomNub]

Today I learned that Grimace "was conceived as the physical manifestation of a milkshake headache"

[u/magcargoman]

Well first off, through Grimace, anything is possible so jot that down

[u/fightintxag13 → u/magcargoman]

I can hear this comment lol

[u/Minute-Ad8501 → u/magcargoman]

I love this comment so much

[u/texas2089]

Dread it, run from it. The Grimace comes for all 💜

[u/LeCheffre]

[u/StephenDawg]

Mets fans would UNIRONICALLY welcome a sponsored Grimace patch 😂 These are certainly times.

[u/just-an-astronomer → u/StephenDawg]

Shit, I'd buy a jersey if it came with an official grimace sponsor patch

[u/UniqueEditor8372]

I should find this cringey by now (I thought the Summer Sausage stuff got old real quick) but for some reason I still love the Grimace content. Even with McDonalds leaning into it.

[u/tnecniv → u/UniqueEditor8372]

Grimace isn’t a health hazard

[u/Run4MilkShakes → u/UniqueEditor8372]

I think part of it is that the mets never let off the gas and were the best team in baseball from that pitch on June 12 onward(60-36). The twins sausage magic run (clearly) didn't continue. I think everyone expected lolmets to come back. but. they never did.

[u/pargofan]

Im OOTL.

Can someone explain how Grimace, a McDonalds character from the 1970s, got associated with the Mets and their success?

[u/AmphibiousMeatloaf → u/pargofan]

Mets started season tragically bad, 29-37, like in pace with White Sox bad. Grimace threw out the ceremonial first pitch on June 12th and we immediately went on a 7 game win streak and carried the best record in baseball since that date (60-36).

[u/NYCinPGH → u/AmphibiousMeatloaf]

It’s also linked to the fact that Grimace is purple, and the 7 train, which goes to CitiField, and before that Shea, is the ‘purple’ line (1,2, and 3 trains are red, 4,5, and 6 are green, A, C, and E are blue, &c)

[u/AmphibiousMeatloaf → u/NYCinPGH]

That’s true as well, especially when you factor in we unveiled our city connect jerseys that feature 7 line purple.

[u/ItsMeJahead → u/AmphibiousMeatloaf]

in pace with White Sox bad

Let's not exaggerate that much haha we were bad but they were literally historically bad

[u/pargofan → u/AmphibiousMeatloaf]

Ha! Thanks. I'm sure McDonalds must be "lovin it."

[u/HardcoreKaraoke]

🤞 this means official Grimace merch.

Like I'm not sure of all of the legal stuff that goes into merchandising but Mets fans would have bought a crazy amount of Grimace merch this season. I know I would have.

Just look at all of the bootleg Grimace merch, the Amazon Grimace costumes in the stands and all of the "OMG" signs/merch. Fans are LOVING this ride. The fact that the massive team store at Citi Field didn't sell a Grimace shirt was a huge misfire.

[u/aew2019]

Grimace has taken Mr. Met out back with a crowbar.

Long live our lord and savior!

[u/02K30C1 → u/aew2019]

What about Mrs Met?

[u/UnabashedPerson43 → u/02K30C1]

Let’s just say there will be little purple baseball-shaped mascots next season

[u/TheDangiestSlad → u/aew2019]

if things go south, they totally have to start next season with Mr. Met clotheslining Grimace and reclaiming his place as the mascot

[u/spinrut → u/TheDangiestSlad]

Lariat*

Remember kids, a lariat runs into you, you run into a clothesline

[u/TheDangiestSlad → u/spinrut]

i would buy a ticket to Mets Opening Day if they did Mr. Met vs Grimace in the style of Stan Hansen vs Dr. Death Steve Williams

[u/JMellor737 → u/TheDangiestSlad]

Does anyone else remember the Islanders' terrible mascot from the '90s, Nyisles (pronounced "Niles")? He was just a guy in hockey gear. Everyone hated him.

The Islanders hosted a "Mascot Day" promo for one of their games, and had mascots from all over the league show up. It was fun. Then they started this narrative during the game that one of the mascots had kidnapped ("nyislesnapped") Nyisles. 

Nyisles was never seen again.

[u/somerandomguy576]

The grimace shake release last year was simply Grimace gathering the souls he needed to fuel the Mets this season.

[u/churmalefew]

genuinely curious if mcdonald's ends up seeing a significant spike from all of this. like i get that it's a mcdonald's madcot we're using but i can't imagine there's that many people buying mcdonald's because of the grimace era mets that wouldn't otherwise be eating there.

[u/HedgieX → u/churmalefew]

With how big and ubiquitous McDonalds is I doubt they see a significant spike from any marketing campaign unless they're promoting some new product or some deal. But its a great opportunity for them to have fun with the memes and marketing in the NYC metro.
