Coming to America vibes

Putin : Look... me and the McDonald's people got this little misunderstanding. See, they're McDonald's... I'm McDowell's. They got the Golden Arches, mine is the Golden Arcs. They got the Big Mac, I got the Big Mick. We both got two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions, but their buns have sesame seeds. My buns have no seeds.

I came here for the McDowell’s reference. I was not disappointed!

When you think of garbage, think of Putin!

Give it up for Randy Jackson!

McPutins “You’re loving it! (or else)”

this comment is pure gold!!! I had forgotten all about this scene until now.

You can get the Big Ivan or the Quarter Putin with Cheese

To add more context, they just stole a meme posted in a popular telegram channel to use as the logo.

I was wondering if this is actually the logo they’re going with or if it’s a mock-up. The bottom part of the “B” is slightly off, so you can firmly see where they took the McDonald’s arches and literally just turned them on their side and added a line in photoshop.

MҪ🅱️ФЍДLD'S

This weirdly feels like they’re trolling themselves.

As does the whole invasion. Like wtf

Easy money grab by the elites to fill in the vacuum that Western companies are leaving. Probably won't be the last knockoff of global brands we see in the coming weeks/months

How about Uncle Vlad? Same first letter, same branding and even fishier smell :D

Fresh grind from the front

A significant amount of the Russian Mcdonald’s supply chain was developed by McDonald’s as part of going into Russia, all the way to farmers growing the right kinds of potatoes.

98% of McDonalds products in Russia are already Russian. McDonalds leaving Russia gives a huge blow to the meat and bread industry, that’s why they want to reopen anything instead asap.

Burger paddy ingredients: Meat.

Russians are notoriously skeptical of the quality of their own beef.

Wasn't McDonald's having trouble getting enough potatoes of all things sourced in Russia?

Putin invading Ukraine which lead to sanctions and McDonals ceasing operations in Russia so he creates his own McD called Uncle Vanya ...

Good ole corpse starch. Just live the hive cities used to make!

Like the Russian who said, "No more Coca-Cola. We get the Russian version, Kaka-Cola."

I'm not 100% on this, but i thought one of the things McD did was only use local goods where possible?

Yes I’d like to order the , not so happy meal please

My first time working with a Russian guy, in an IT shop in NYC, was early in my career, in 1992. I peeked over the cubicle wall and asked "Are we having fun yet?!" In a very deadpan, dry Russian accent, he stated "We are not paid to have fun. We are paid to work".

This reminds me of my favourite story about McDonald's international culture hurdles. Apparently when you smile at someone during a transaction in Russia, it's a sign you are ripping them off. McDonald's employees being instructed to smile at customers went down like a lead balloon.

One Stoic Meal for my little darlink grandchild.

One Russian Oppression with Cheese coming up!

One “IT CAN ALWAYS GET WORSE meal,” extra “life is pain.” Coming right up. Probably.

"one vladdy meal! That will be 100K Rubles. Please pull your mule around to the next window. That will be 125K Rubles... you need to move faster.... 125K rubles... GO"

You mean the “Eh, It’s life! What are you going to do?” Meal?

Bruhhh this is like the type of shit you see on a cartoon where they want you to know this is like the McDonald's of that cartoon universe but can't use McDonald's cuz they didnt want to pay for the name.

Lou: I went to the McDonald's over in Shelbyville the other day

Ah yes my favorite fast food chain WacDonalds

First thing I thought of was

Beavis and Butthead: Burger World

In anime is often "WacDonalds"

Good old WcDonald’s.

I clicked the link and thought I was being trolled. This is hilarious, right?

It's usually the other way around, if McDonalds pays you - you show their logo, if they don't - you make up something that looks just a tad bit familiar.

Coming to America

How gta is with all its cars. They don’t want to have a forza situation where the car companies can make their price (this is why VW wasn’t in one of the last forza’s)

I’ve been saying this over and over on Reddit, but Russia is becoming the new Iran. It’s the exact same over there but with literally everything.

Like how every anime has a WcDonalds

When you order McDonald's from Wish.

Mc🅱️onald's

We all know this betrayal

We have Mc Donalds at home:

[удалено]

Chechen nuggets

Sorry the vodka machine is down....again

Hamburlar says ‘rouble rouble!’

You can have it our way.

“They ran out of McRubles.”

Sorry. The milkshake machine was conscripted for Special Broken Operation.

Oh, so it was sent to Ukraine?

The machine is fine, there’s nothing wrong with machine. It’s just unavailable at the moment comrade.

Try the Filet O Fission !

Tastes like metal.

"Not great, not terrible."

"Doo doo doot doo doo I am lovings it."

I think you mean "да да да да да"

In Russia, it is loving you.

Wait until they find out McDonald's real strength isn't the branding. It's the psychopathic way it squeezes its suppliers to reduce costs across its global supply chain, and how it ensures a homogeneous product.

Russia: "What is a supply chain anyway, and why are all my tanks out of gas?"

Corrupt people often don’t realize there is a such thing as competence.

Russia is squeezing an entire country that has great soils. I think they took McDonald’s business model on a whole new level.

Tune in for ww4 when the Russian MacBrondles and the American Macdonald’s nuke the moon

Padme: Yeah but Russia is good at logistics right...?

BcDonalds sounds nice.

BicDonald's: half fast food, half office supply store, all delicious.

Once you open the door to this, no business is going to want to come back, even after Putin is gone and the war is over, not without major concessions that will just continue to be passed on to the Russian people. Not just McDonald's either, all international businesses are thinking of the future and not seeing Russia in it.

Honestly they are probably already drooling at the concessions they are going to get upon their return

Yeah, not to spend money on new signage, you just rotate existing ones when taking over. 90 degrees CW and you are in business.

What would have happened if they simply sold it as McDonald's?

“I’ll take a Big Mig with extra Soviet sauce on it please”

Would you like two large vodka to make it a combo?

Big Mig is potato, you must imagine is burger. Soviet sauce is also potato. Fries are not potato, only allowed to imagine you have fries.

Comrade, this is a Wendy's.

Would you like cries with that?

Bah bah bah ba baaah I’m Russian’ it

A Blyak Mac

"WacArnolds is tearing this family apart!"

Bitch, who you fuckin? Zelensky?

I did not invade it! I did not invade it! I did nawwwt!

This is what I was looking for! “Calvin’s Got a job”

RIP Ms Harvey :(

Ughh comrade, you smell like french fries.

Commercials show young Russians making nervous glances to the left and right while saying "I'm loving it."

The ad just tells the viewer “You’re loving it”

"This meatish patty brings glory to Putin, and destroys the NATO imperialist NAZIs."

"You will be loving it more!"

McBonalds. I'm tolerating it.

Blyatdonalds…over 20 cyka served

I'll take a large coke and a double mcbabushka.

“I’ll take a BigBlyat with cheese, a potato for the side, and for the drink I’ll have… ehhh is the Blyat Vodka any good?”

"Welcome to Blyat Borger home or the BigBlyat. Can I take your order? "

Is Vodka - does not need to be good. Burns taste of raddish sauce from mouth

WacArnold's has given me an opportunity to serve my community and feel responsible for the welfare of my own environment.

Wow, who saw that coming.

As soon as I saw photos of people's fridges stocked up with cheeseburgers on the last day... I knew all those empty restaurants were going to open right back up again, just as soon as corporate was on the way to the airport.

At least Fanta made its own look and formulas. This feels like when a show makes a Not "McDonald's" But It's Definitely Supposed To Be McDonald's.

Same thing happened to Ford, and they also kept all the profits..

While McDonald's has the golden arches, McDowell's has the golden arcs. McDonald's has the Big Mac, but McDowell's has the Big Mick. They both have two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions. But McDonald's buns have sesame seeds. McDowell's buns have no seeds.

McDowell's should have sunflower seeds.

“Two all horse patties, (special sauce?), no lettuce, cheese, pickles or onions, on a piece of shit bun.”

The Russian special sauce is probably just sour cream.

Hilariously beyond stupid that they even named it “Uncle Ivan” 🤦🏻‍♂️

Vanya, not Ivan.

This is "freedom fries" on steroids lol

"Oppression fries"

Come to McPutin's!

Is potato.

OMG the Mc Borscht is back!

From Russian friends this is a meme joke. One that the Independent has fallen for, hook, line and sinker it seems.

I'm lovin' it!

Now I want to see the commercials for this place. I am dying to know what their mascot will be.

A depressed clown who quotes lines from Dostoevsky novels.

"Just don't ask where the meat comes from."

The "Big Donald", a burger so big, you'll look like you have tiny hands too!

Russian knock off McDonald’s. I bet they ship the ice cream machines pre-broken.

In Putin's Russia, ice cream machine breaks you!

They'll be Russian to get their orders but the cooks be Stalin.

Dammit. Take my upvote and Trotsky the Hell out of here.

"McIvan's: Da Da Da Dada, STRAIGHT TO GULAG!"

You can even see where the curve of the M hits the big rectangle they’ve added - Low effort.

Finally, it's MacDowell's time to shine!

1 unhappy meal coming up.

Will they bring back the mcrib?

Or introduce the McGruel?

I don’t even get why it’s a limited item in the USA. It’s been on the menu in Germany since the late 80ies or so constantly.

They would be 🅱️ memers

They literally gave the McDonald's logo an evil mustache to show it's from an alternate universe

Vasili MigDonald. The angry sullen gray and black clown with a goatee...

Every happy meal comes with an adidas tracksuit

In Mother Russia, the ice cream machine breaks you!

Big Blyat comes with a shot of vodka and a raw potato.

BADA BAP BA BAAAA, I’m loving NYET!

The not so happy meal

"Is DickMonalds. Is much better. We have 3/16 Pounder. Number is bigger. Also have Huge Mac. Superior to Big Mac."

is 1/8 kilo burger. Combo include vodka and potato. We have no potato today, only cabbage.

Kid: I want McDonald's

In Soviet Russia, McDowells arch you!

They're McDonald's … I'm McDowell's. They got the Golden Arches, mine is the Golden Arcs. They got the Big Mac, I got the Big Mick. We both got two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions, but their buns have sesame seeds. My buns have no seeds.

Oh no, you don't mess with Uber Corporate U.S company branding....Mcdonalds if pushed could end this war in a day.

Ah yes, BcBonald's and the golden bra cones.

Now with potato flavor!

"We have McDonalds at homeland"

I couldnt write a satire this bizarre. And ive written one about scientists cloning a jesus that lampoons the church.

This is going to be a wonderful experiment in how to destroy your credibility with foreign investors.

This website is hot garbage. No photo of it?! Tons of ads and you gave to watch the video to get any info

Instead of happy meal, you get Bleak Existential Dread Meal. Is better. More Russian.

Welcome to Blyatburger, Home of the Blyatburger, can I take your order?

A Big Boris with a vodka shake, please.

Are we living in a parody?

 Look... me and the McDonald's people got this little misunderstanding. See, they're McDonald's... I'm McDowell's. They got the Golden Arches, mine is the Golden Arcs. They got the Big Mac, I got the Big Mick. We both got two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions, but their buns have sesame seeds. My buns have no seeds - Cleo McDowell

Instead of French fries… we’ll get Moscow fries?

This is like GTA universe parodies.

Now serving the Borscht Mac, a big Mac in every way a beet flavored soup can be

Will they be serving Soylent Red?

This is literally a major plot point of the Eddie Murphy movie Coming to America.

" over 1 million war crimes served"

i cant wait until putin comes out for their first advertisment and takes a big sloppy bite out of a McGrundle

Is that a B for beets?

Just a few weeks ago, we were joking about off-brand knockoffs after every corporation pulls out of Russia when the war started.

reddit: makes jokes about McDonald's knockoffs.

expected mcdonalsky but this is somehow worse

Is that a B for Bully or BS?

Ronald McDonald joining UA special forces: "I'm gonna manpad this motherfucker down for this shit, yo ..."

Give the people what they want!!!

Nice, why make big us corporate richer when you can do it yourself..

Putin: Ba da ba ba dah, I'm stealing it!

There’s a 100% chance that they will just use the official McD’s recipes they still have. There’s no way they didn’t copy that.

“You Lovin’ It, Or Else” 🎶

Mommy Putin, can we have McDonald's for lunch?

i was wondering when McDowells will come into play

This is how you know the US won the Cold War. When the US franchise leaves they scramble to replicate it because it’s become core to society.

It’s called McDowell’s and it has golden arcs instead of arches.

We are living in South Park

Ba da ba ba baaa

Russian Army: we need air support, food, medicine, and ammunition. Russian Parliament: the best I can do is fake McDonald's.

They have the golden arches, we have the golden arcs

The Mc Putin tastes like shit.

Look... me and the McDonald's people got this little misunderstanding. See, they're McDonald's... I'm McDowell's. They got the Golden Arches, mine is the Golden Arcs. They got the Big Mac, I got the Big Mick. We both got two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions, but their buns have sesame seeds. My buns have no seeds.

McDowel’s finally goes global!

This might be 45’s red line. Nobody messes with his favorite hamberder.

They got the Golden Arches, mine is the Golden Arcs. They got the Big Mac, I got the Big Mick. We both got two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions, but their buns have sesame seeds.

Would you like to Supersize that for only 55,000 rubles more?

I checked Russian sources for this, and Ruspole brands (the Russian holding that submitted the patent for this logo) claims that it was not internally approved and was likely done as a meme. They are now in the process of pulling the request after an investigation.

Well they could have just opened a McDowells with the Golden Arc's

Is there some reason I can't see any logo?

500mil rubles? That's like two potatoes worth of franchising alone

Please enjoy flagship meal offering.
