Ronald McDonald. He led a gang of thugs including Hamburglar and Evil Grimace.

And mayor McCheese does NOTHING for the people of Mcdonaldland. Plus, I think Big Mac is on the take.

Dear sweet mercy, just how old ARE all of us? Most of those characters have been long banished.
Although I for one am glad Hamburgler was brought back in cute-for-kiddos version. I got a toddler's Happy Meal toy for my nieces of the Hamburgler, who actually went "burgleburgleburgle" when they shook him, just like on the commercials.
Can I vote for Hamburgler as most macho, please?

Well... Ah, golly gee... Clowns usually aren't all THAT macho (though I see "Whizzo" DID wear a GUN...)... Hmmm... Wonder what today's politically-correct thought-police would think of THAT...? LOLOLOL!
Anyway, being born and raised in Chicago, and growing up with (Kat, yes we ARE old) growing up with 1950's TV kid's shows featuring CAPTAIN VIDEO, CAPTAIN MIDNIGHT, PINKY LEE, SOUPY SALES, TWO-TON-BAKER, UNCLE JOHNNY COONS, GARFIELD GOOSE, RAY RAYNER (remember those AWFUL "Clutch Cargo" cartoons with human mouths on the static characters) and finally "LUNCHTIME LITTLE THEATER" all on WGN Channel 9... And yes, Bob Bell from Lunchtime Little Theater who became the consumate BOZO pictured in the post...
I think I was STILL enjoying the BOZO'S CIRCUS show when I first began riding my chopper... Yeah, we never grow up, do we...
So... Macho or not so much, I jus' GOTTA vote fer my homeboy, BOZO!
As a sad note, THOSE early kiddie shows were broadcast LIVE... so many of us little nippers were horrified to see "Pinky Lee" and "Aunt Dodie" from Lunchtime Little Theater pass on to their final reward LIVE on TV. EEEWWW! Is THAT creepy or WHAT?
Ah, the perils of LIVE broadcast TV...
Oh well, time for my nightly cup of Ovaltine... Got my "Little Orphan Annie" secret decoder and am ready for the next episode of "Captain Midnight"... Yup... Tut, have Icky fire up the Silver Dart... We have villains to chase!
Leo (feeling MIGHTY old) in Texas

I'm not that old but I was on both Mr. Patches and Corky the Clown in St. Louis.
I still remember being fascinated by the studios. I assume that has something to do with the career I chose (I am a news broadcast director at a local TV stations)
