WcDonald's
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WcDonald's (various spellings apply) is a fictional restaurant chain (an obvious takeoff on McDonald's) which appears in fictional media, most often anime.
McDonald's, a famous worldwide restaurant, is easily recognized and parodied, with a read mutation existing in "WcDonald's". Its symbol is (not surprisingly) a large golden W; an inverse of the "Golden Arches" that McDonald's uses for its logo. Its name is rarely, if ever, actually spoken. The reason is, according to "The Anime Companion", is that the anime companies didn't want to get sued by McDonald's for using their logo, so the anime staff inverted the "M" into a "W" to prevent lawsuits.
Ironically, the anime series InuYasha is sponsored by McDonald's.
Some form of the chain appears in:
- Azumanga Daioh
- Cowboy Bebop
- Danny Phantom
- Dear Boys
- Doki Doki School Hours
- InuYasha
- Kodocha
- Ouran High School Host Club
- Please Save My Earth
- UFO Baby
- Uta-Kata
- Tsukihime
- South Park
The reversed golden arches also appear on Beavis and Butt-head, there identified with Burger World.
Other variations of the Mc/WcDonald's name include:
- NcDonald's, which appeared in Hikaru no Go
- MacDonald's, which edges closer to the actual name
- McDowell's, in the film Coming to America, a restaurant that is deliberately trying to copy McDonald's
- WacArnold's a collection sketches from Chapelle's Show that parodies the McDonald's ads which a young black man named Calvin gets hired as a member of their management team.
- Magnetron Burger, from the manga Azumanga Daioh. It's logo is the McDonald's Golden arches with a small "G" inside. It does not appear in the anime except for on the side of a paper cup.
- WcDnald's (and or WacDnld's or Wacdnards), the incarnation(s) used in InuYasha
- Wedgies, the fast food store that specialises in potato products from the Australian TV series The Wedge
