I never thought we’d have a grimace lore video

Grimace's body count explained why he has "grim" in his name for a reason. His milkshake not only bring all boys to the yard, he brought everybody in the yard.

I was a costumed performer for Grimace in the late 80s/early 90s. They literally had air fresheners taped to the inside of the costume, and it smelled of grapes & razzberry. I’m thoroughly convinced that is what the Grimace shake is supposed to taste like - his insides.

Okay now I need a horror history on all these famous creepy mascots now. 😮

The most haunting character you’ve ever covered.

This is the real “horror” in horror history.

This and the Chuck E. Cheese backstory are brilliant, incredible satire 😂

I have a theory on why Grimace used to have four arms: Grimaces reproduce by mitosis. So that was actually him mid-separation with his offspring, or his progenitor in mid-separation with him. Indeed, every new from of Grimace we see might actually be a different Grimace, their numbers multiplying as they spread across the world tasting everything they touch, in preparation for the Great Consuming that is to come.

The fact you did a horror history on Grimace is off the charts. Love it. Great job!

This feels like an April fools joke and tbh.... I love it! The serious tone is just a cherry on top of this amazing McDonald's sundae lol

Finally, I was bummed because we did not have an April Fools video. Now I am finally happy.

i love these fast food/pop culture "horror" icon episodes so much. they're so hilariously entertaining and well-put together!

Something is so interesting about him talking about McDonald’s mascots as real people. Mayor McCheese having to step down for lawsuits. I’m down for this. And no wonder there’s so many horror games set during this time period. It’s amazing EVERY kid didn’t have nightmares.

My sister is going to be grimace for Halloween. I'm not kidding, she actually made that choice. We like to get a healthy start on Halloween costumes.

How much you wanna bet Grimace is gonna actually get his own horror movie

So many lives taken in so little time. Hopefully the future generations know to celebrate his birthday without the grimace shake......for the brand new grimace burger. One bite and you'll love it (Shows me on ground bleeding purple)

So ex husband's dad was a District Manager for McDonald's, and I have one of the original evil Grimace cookies with 4 arms. Lol. Never thought I'd see something like this!

“McDonald’s land is sort of a *preserve* where fast food items can be found growing” This line is great

I've never thought you would do a timeline about a character from a fast food chain😂

The timeline that Grimace deserved. Happy Belated Birthday Grimace.

I always thought Grimace was rather adorable. And thank you for reminding me of all the past great McDonald characters.

Till this day and my cousin can't stop laughing at the chuck e cheese lore! Masterpiece

5:10 Winkys was another fast food chain back in the day that I remember as a little kid.

Oh my gosh, we’re getting Grimace lore and I am so here for it 🤣

I knew you wouldn’t fail us CZ you’re the king of horror

I've been waiting for grimace lore, thank you sir CZ.

Hell ya I am so here for this ! . I never got to try one of those shakes but I still want to . I never paid much attention to the lore of this restaurant till now haha

Grimace was a child's nightmare back in the 80s and nothing has changed. Neat. 😀👍

I had heard that Grimace was the embodiment of brainfreeze. Hence, the grimace of pain when you get brainfreeze

My favorite part of the show was when Grimace said, "It's Grimace time!" and grimed all over the place

As a kid, we had this VHS tape where Ronald and all the mascots went to Grimace Island. Grimace was always my favorite, but now I'm not so sure....

"You're standing in a huddle of grimaces... it's not such a far-fetched story, is it?" I'm sorry but that killed me. And why did I think Grimace was nice and so snuggly?! Thank you so much for this video. I never knew I needed a Grimace lore video but this was so well done and interesting.

finally, some real horror lore

Too much evil to be contained

All this time I thought Ol' Grimace was a just goofy good guy pretending to be bad😂

About a month before tje Grimance shake became a thing I got a new/ used car a Honda Fit...my sister in law named it Grimace because of its deep purple colour. Now I love the name even more. I always saw him of McDonald's Cookie Monster.

They have a bipedal bird all they need is a bipedal rabbit and bear

the amount of research and time these videos must take is crazy considering how fast you release them. thank you for the hard work!!!

Hey bucko! I LOVED the pun there at time stamp 0:53, where you stated how grimace is also linked to the adjective to show great repulsement, great video! Keep up the good work!

I remember receiving the legend of grimace Island on VHS when I went to McDonald's all those years ago and that was the only day I ever received. Time flies

The video we never knew we needed

Never in one million year would I ever think a silly internet joke would somehow get it's own horror history

The video I didn't know I needed. CZ is a legend

I’ve been binging this dude’s videos, and all the prolonged eye contact is starting to make me weak in the knees

Grimace is a single drop of pure adrenochrome.

Lowkey they should make grimace horror movie

I remember watching this animated video called "Search For Grimace Island," and back then found it funny. Probably not now but back then after seeing that video I honestly didn't know how anyone could find him scary.

I only NOW know what the grimace shake was because of CG5's grimace shake song, loll. Wasn't expecting a lore of him though

I had no idea where you were going at first, but this was a great video! If you're right, grimace is gross!

Dang, who would have thought the last CSzWorld video would have been a Grimace lore video! What time line are we even in..!

I love it! Perfectly executed as always! Thanks CZ

Information I never thought I’d know 😂 love this channel

Love that this is getting a horrir history. Grimace killed my childhood hero kevin chamberlain. *in Jesse pinkmans voice HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS!

I see CZ videos and LIKE immediatley so I do not forget. I never had to undo it!

Omg, this video had me rolling in laughter. Bravo and subscribed!

I like how 17 minutes into the video you said "and that is where things get weird", no, things got weird way earlier

The way you had it ending, reminded me of the movie "The Stuff" (1985), where mysterious goo that oozes from the earth is marketed as the newest dessert sensation. If possible, this movie could make a good video is some way, just a suggestion.

Another great video Thanks CZsWorld

I never thought i would need a video about Grimace till now!!!

CZ great job on this! I wasn't ever scared of him the hamburgler seemed more creepy to me. So I don't really eat there but I really wanted to get a shake as my birthday was in June too but I totally forgot 😭. But hey I hope everyone who drunk one grimmest with joy 💜

When I was 4-5, (circa 1975-1976) I had legit nightmares about Grimace and Hamburglar.

Love this!! You did not let us down!!

Top notch and informative as always 😂

That girl sampling the Grimace Shake and going full Ringu freaking slayed me.

Help this is such a legit documentary of Grimace 😭😭😭

This is so random and I love it.

Love your videos

Ohh this is an interesting lore ALL in for this!!

This is literally amazing

This video is crazy. I love it.

Finally, the content ive been waiting for

Thank you for the grimace lore CZ !!!!!

I always thought Grimace was meant to be a chicken nugget, but they made him purple because if he were brown, he'd kinda look like a turd

This gave a good chuckle.

Damn, Grimace and I share a birthday. Am I Grimace?

Very well done ✅🎉 wonderful job on this keep up the amazing work

Wow, flashbacks!!! I totally remember the old playgrounds at McDonald's. Well, bits and pieces anyway... it's been 40-some years! But I do remember the fiberglass tree sculpture, and the Grimace cage. I think Mayor McCheese had like a tube body with a ladder inside, where you could climb up into his head that was like a UFO shaped roundabout cage kinda thing. And I do remember Ronald and the Hamburglar, but I can't remember if they we're playground items, or just fiberglass statues like the tree. Total blast from the past, lol! I think those playgrounds were removed when the whole Mayor McCheese lawsuit happened, and were eventually replaced with the plastic tube playgrounds. Anyway, thanks for the video!!!

can i just say that i am a long time grimace fan so when i saw the birthday meal and stuff, as well as when they had the grimace for the adult happy meals (which i never got :(((((, i got so excited. so like seeing this video now, like ty! ive been telling all my coworkers grimace trivia bc i had watched the grimace island movie. so nowi can just link this to ppl! and i feel less like a dork lol

I think a cool idea you could talk about next is the movies or stories that are inspired by the HP Lovecraft mythos. They are soooo fascinating to me.

Thanks Dude , I never knew I needed this video, till you uploaded it. Now I can die peacefully.

I love this! Plz do more!!

I was terrified of Grimace as a kid. When I was 3 I cried in a McDonalds when a grimace mascot showed up. I also called him "grape-iss"

Love your vids

The video I never knew I needed

Bravo. This was really good.

I needed this❤❤

OMG i remember that grimace island episode! it creeped me out as a kid and i loooved it

LOL! You are a legend! XD Thank you for this!

This was very well done. 😂 💜 Thank you

Did you know that the "GRIMACES" made an appearance in GOOSEBUMPS: The Horror at Camp Jellyjam

i felt like i took a bong hit watching this cause im all types of loopy and that my head feels numb @_@

2:03 this gave me CHILLS

Always wondered bout him thanks for researching.

You only think the crook disappeared. But he actually just defected to become "The King". That smile is called dupers delight .

I actually used to have two of those McDonald's VHS tapes when I was a kid. I had the Scared Silly tape and Birthday World tape :) I also had the Ronald McDonald cassette tape they gave out at one point that had like songs on it. I had two of them LOL

Nice lore video

We need a disturbing yet intriguing McDonaldand movie!!!

We didn't ask for a Grimace lore video...but man oh man did we need one. Absolutely loved it Emo Abraham Lincoln. LOVED IT 😂😅

I remember having one of these VHS tapes as a kid...for some reason I watched it on a repeat

Good video. I was born in 69 and grew up to the fun days of McDonalds with all of it's characters and fun commercials . Was waiting for you to mention " The French Fry Guys" Grimace is indeed a taste bud . When McDonald's launched their milkshake they used him to chase after and steal the milkshakes because they tasted so good. He was the hamburglar of the milk shake . Why they called him Grimace is beyond me. Maybe because of his facial expression?
