The Bastardization of the Hamburger Man
When I think of Ronald McDonald what comes to mind are all those McDonalds Happy Meal commercials with Ronald and his big furry suit friends and a bunch of lolis and shotas begging him for toys and fries. In Japan, the McDonalds commercials refer to Happy Meals as “Happy Sets” and Ronald is referred to as “Donald”. (I guess it would be a pain for them to say ロナルド-ミクドナルド.) For some reason though, the Japanese Ronald says “RAN RAN RUUU” a lot and because of this it has turned into a meme on niconico.
Recently NicoNico’s been going through the Caramell Dansen phase and needless to say Ronald (or should I say Donald?) was included in the insanity. The result produced an incredibly addictive song that can be used as a good exercise video, or in my case I really want it to be my cell phone ring tone. 
Some other great hits include Ronald infiltrating the Lucky Star world:
Youtube LinkRonald sings with Hatsune Miku her famous song “MikuMiku Shiteageru” and then hacks your computer.

Ronald Days. Saionji Ronald makes Makoto some tea.

Donald version of the NicoNico “Danjou” meme. (I love the vocaloid and Zero no Tsukaima version of this btwxD)
Couldn’t find youtube link, maybe cause its a Nico meme.

Ronald is pretty popular in many ways….good or bad…
Lawl at the Lucky Star one.
I saw these on nico douga before and I was wondering why he was so popular. Now I have more insight. I can’t believe I never noticed the “RAN RAN RUUU” before.
i can’t seem to watch the videos on niconico. do you have to have an account to watch?
Liinae, that’s why I posted Youtube links below them. and yes you do need an account to watch them on NicoNico.
The McDangos have frightened me
Oh god, could only make it past the Lucky Star one… disturbing enough tht they made it look like R/Donald was reaching up into their skirts at one point
I’ve seen a couple of these before, was totally unaware it was epidemic.
They’re funny and disturbing all at once; like a Julia Roberts movie.
And I assumed your ring tone would be some type of … march…
(You look the type.) 
issa> Aww but the sumomomo one is so great!
Sabrina> LOL @ Julia Roberts. Actually my current ringtone is a midi version of little mermaid’s “under the sea”
DS> I was so sure you’d like them!
This is my personal favorite http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm2356673
Bleh, comment got eaten. Anyway this is probably my favorite one (sm2356673). Metal Gear Solid + McDonald’s = Win!
Three simple words: DO NOT WANT.
Just watching the second (Lucky Star) one just frightens me
LOL why does everyone like the Lucky Star one. xD My favorite is still the Sumomomo one
DONARUDO NO UWASA!
