Ronald McDonald In A Face Shield Creeps Out Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Viewers

The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is a very different kind of event this year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and fans are certainly taking notice. Of all the logistical changes taking place in the 2020 Thanksgiving Day Parade, there’s one that certainly seems to be creeping viewers out in a big way: Ronald McDonald in a protective face shield. We’re not sure if it’s the iconic McDonald’s mascot reminding everyone of the darkness of the pandemic, or just the sight of a clown in a dome shield feeling extra creepy. Either way, social media is buzzing with chatter about Ronald McDonald’s new look.

See for yourself – but know that you cannot unsee!

If that ain’t so 2020, we don’t know what is. We love this meme. 

Faces On Froze

To call Ronald McDonald’s appearance a “downer moment” in the 2020 parade would be an understatement. 

Deadlier Than La Rona and IT Combined

I would hate to see someone run those numbers. 

Bad Dawg…

Yeah… you don’t see many people wearing that particular model of face shield.
