Scootaloo Officially Invades German McDonalds


The Scootaloo Burger won first place in a German McDonalds sandwich naming competition poll.  Amazingly enough, it seems to have dodged all copyright issues and gone for gold.   The top 20 burgers have been absorbed into a final competition for the right to become an officially sold burger. 

The actual Scootaloo portion of the video happens at :50 in the video after the break, for a translation, hit the text below!

"I was in a Skype conversation with German Bronies. Then I noticed a post on Facebook, my neighbor made a burger at "Mein Burger by McDonalds", he told me to “Click on Like!”. After that I asked the other ones on Skype “Hey, wanna create one, too?” Then everyone said: “YEAH! DO IT!”.
(...)
Just Scootaloo, because it’s a character from the show. And here it is!"
Hopefully it makes it through! I don't know if Scootaloo would be too happy with it, but at least she is famous for something... right?

DutchB said...

NO DONT EAT SCOOTALOO!!

Ayashino said...

As long as they make it a chicken burger it's fine? XD

Spikely Whiplash said...

I did not hear the name Scootaloo in that last sentence.

Flutterfan said...

I'd like a Scootaloo burger, apple fries, a large cup of cider and a Fluttershy toy.

ftfc said...

JELFES!! Your avatar is needed here!!

MyBoyJ said...

Welcome to Scootaburger, home of the Scootaburger, can I take your order?

Cesar said...

Now they just need to rename Webster's Dictionary "Sweetie Bell"

Scott C said...

It's a Chicken burger right?

Jordan said...

All right! Bronies win another one!

Evenprime said...

It really is a chicken burger btw. :)

Vinnyboiler said...

So now German Bronies have a awesome place to meet up. The KFC's in the UK should have a competition, I would love to eat some Kentucky fried Scoota... wait that dosen't sound right.

GrapePie said...

Well this is awesomer than it should be...

Jordan said...

Or maybe the German McDonald's doesn't know that "Scootaloo" is the copyrighted name of an English-language American Hasbro company character.

fohl said...

"Ich bin ne scharfe Frau also brauche ich nen scharfen Burger!" - I lol'd hard!

Jelfes said...

My profile image is a reality!!

RavensDagger said...

Huh? Not a thing was understood, except bronies, skype and facebook... Anywho I am glad they get a burger named after one of the chars! (+1 for the chicken pun)

kyle said...

I wonder if it uses a chicken patty...

Howdy said...

Hah, so that's what this was all about.

Baree said...

Little trip to Germany coming up? Maybe attend a German brony meet :D

Jigglysaint said...

So that's what happened to the G3.5 Scootaloo. Of course after eating one of those, knowing McDonald's quality, you are going to have to scoot to the loo.

White Ink said...

I can't tell whether this is good or bad. Probably both.

Andrew Foose said...

Are you sure it's not a chicken sandwich?

Mad Brochacho said...

what is this I don't even

Bronynumbah1 said...

Everything's cool, yeah; we're the fuckin' best.

Nymo said...

dear god, It actually happened. I knew we had the power to do so, but I had no idea that they'd ACTUALLY let this go through...

Laurence Brown said...

I...
I don't...
I am SO conflicted and confuzzled and...
Part of me REALLY wants one for the humor and coolness factor of it all, and the other part is aghast at the thought of eating something named after a pony, even if it is only a meme offshoot.
I guess the safe answer is to quote Ruby Pinch: "Wat."

CityFlyer502 said...

Still trying to wrap my head around this. I...I've been rendered completely speechless.

Evenprime said...

@kyle

Yes, it has a chicken patty. The "scootaloo is a chicken" pun is the main reason why this burger was created.

And it looks delicious. This is the ingredients list:

- Hamburger Royal Patty (top)
- Cheese Sauce
- Tomato
- Onions
- Salad
- Cheddar
- Chicken Patty (!)
- Cheddar
- Hamburger Royal Patty (bottom)

Kai said...

Thank /b/ for that one. 4chan had around 20 burgers it voted on, including the McMoot, the wat, roodypoo, HNNNG and McMeatspin.

All of these got removed however, leaving only the Scootaloo.

Alumx_cube said...

I want Mc Scootaloo menu NAOW

MyBoyJ said...

@Andrew Foose

It is a chicken sandwich. Here's a link to the website.

GuerreroPerdido said...

Even though I like the chicken jokes, it's unfortunate that Scootaloo will only be remembered because of them. She really needs an episode.

Lord Elliott said...

@Jigglysaint

I don't know where you're from, but I heard that McDonald's is really good in some countries' like Australia. It defiantly sucks in America though.

Beatfox said...

@Jordan
Well, McDonald's already has the rights to sell toys for MLP and other Hasbro properties. If they don't already have licensing rights covering this particular instance, it probably wouldn't be too hard to get them.

Evenprime said...

Also, the Scootaloo hasn't won yet. It just was the winner of the online voting competition. The top 20 of that competition now get voted on by a jury to see which one really wins.

But because the Scootaloo is a "sane" burger (not too much meat and stuff - therefore affordable and edible) it has good chances.

Wheeljack said...

*Crossing fingers*

(hey... don't give me that look, Lyra)

Adiwan said...

There is still a second voting phase.
A jury has to decide which one of the 20 burgers will be sold.

Although I have to admit that it is cool that the scootaburger got so far.

Eric Cramer said...

I SO voted for that! Suck it McMoot! Joke's on 4chan!

Now if only it is still there when I leave for Germany this summer.

Lord Elliott said...

It's in German, but it has a picture.

MagicLlama said...

As a native Kentuckian, I'm all for Kentucky Fried Scootaloo

DebbieDash said...

I'm a vegeterian,but I would buy that burger for scootaloo

MyBoyJ said...

Fortunately, I can vaguely understand German. I heard them say "activity" and "from" as well as a few other words.

derFisch said...

Frycook!Scootaloo is my headcanon now.

Anthony Pendley said...

Please be a chicken sandwich....

neverending said...

I'll eat that thing every day if it wins.

@MyBoyJ its a burger

and on one hand its a brony burger, but on the other... its not. Scootaloo is a chicken call afterall. So name a chicken burger scootaloo would be a funny idea even without the mlp background. I think thats why they let him pass~

For the event, if i dont get it wrong, three burgers are selected, which are then available for respectivly one week at mcDonalds (first week the first winner and so on..).

If this burger would win the final competition, i would defenitly buy it. :D

carback99 said...

Really men this fandom is CRAZY

...and thats the way i love it

cutiemee said...

@carback99
its true all the bronies in this fandom are CRAZY
but its amazing XD

James Rye said...

YAY for germany bronies! You guys rock! Great idea! Voted for it and glad you made it! :D

MyBoyJ said...

@Pinkie Swirl

What's your definition of burger?

Mine is a sandwich based primarily around a beef patty. I said "chicken sandwich" because burger, to me and probably a lot of others, implies beef.

It's not really important either way.

Persona said...

I really wish my German was good enough to actually understand this.

Anyway, as for the Scootaloo burger, heck yes.

Yorec said...

Bring it to America McDonalds! Bring it here please?

TheDude97000 said...

As long as this gets to America,I'm good

Ruxin12 said...

First, Germany. Next, THE WORLD!!!

Alan De Smet said...

You copyright larger works, like an episode of MLP, a piece of art, or a story. You trademark smaller things used to identify your products, like the phrase "My Little Pony." Scootaloo might be trademarked, if Hasbro ever sold something labeled "Scootaloo." A single word, even a made up one like Scootaloo, has never successfully been copyrighted.

Fuzzyhead12 said...

sometimes i love my home^^

Beta-Carotene said...

of all the best things that could happen this is

THE

BEST

POSSIBLE

THING!

(actually giant new-york pinkie pie is)

HaXiWeg said...

I think to name a burger - a dead being - after a vegetarian awesome cute pony is the WORST POSSIBLE THING! What would Fluttershy think of us if we let this happen?
Sometimes it seems that we are a headless fandom. If there is pony on it, it's great. A bit to simple don't you all think?

Pinkie Swirl said...

@MyBoyJ ah thanks for the explanation :), here it is just called burger regardless if its a beef or chicken patty, it would even be a burger when theres no "meatish" patty ~ culture clash xD

Destin466 said...

ponies invades the whole world !!!! that's EPIC !!!!!

Masquerade said...

Can you say... Scootalove?


... Actually, since we will be eating Scootaloo, I'm not sure what makes it 'love'.
So proud to be a (closet) brony.

The Invincible said...

Cheesy crusts, Germany. I know you're famous for being messed up, but this is the most deliciously evil thing I've ever seen. I don't know whether to laugh or throw up.

Either way, I look for the next great grossout fanfic, "Burgers", to be released within the next week.

Mike said...

@White Ink

Me neither. I don't even know how to describe what I feel about this.

Is there a word that means both win and fail?

Derp perhaps?

...I just might try that burger...

James Rye said...

First cupcakes, then rainbows, now burgers - a ponymeat history.

Pinkie Swirl said...

To all the "dislikers":
See it like Scootaloo named this burger after herself, because she created it and got her burger creating cutie mark ^^

Or something like that :P

@Alan De Smet *german brohoof* xD

comickid said...

yes, I'll have a Scootaloo burger with the apple bloom fries and make sure there is plenty of sweety belle ice tea to drink. you know the Cutemark Combo!

Al_Skylark said...

Lmfao! NICE! YOU WILL GO PLACES SCOOT!

Also about copyrights, well McDonalds seem to be bros with Hasbro, with the toys and all :v

HaXiWeg said...

@Pinkie Swirl

Scootaloo killing a chicken because she wants to make a burger... seriously?

Jagafeh said...

It's a sneaky ploy by Hasbro so they can use "Big Mac" for Macintosh whenever they want to.

shadowfalcon76 said...

Hasbro and McDonald's execs in the back room"

McD: "We'll let you use 'Big Mac' for that red horse you guys have, if you let us make a chicken sandwich and name it after your chicken-pony. We'll even toss in apple fries and some sweet tea and make it a combo!""

Hasbro: "Put in a pony toy and you got yourselves a deal!"

Torg said...

@Yorec Unfortunately, America doesn't even share a McDonald's menu with Canada. The odds of getting a Scootaloo over here are very low.

oniz82 said...

Scootaloo it's the best combo

CharginChuck said...

One step closer to total domination.

Next Step: someone needs to infiltrate Merriam-Webster and get them to print "Sweetie Belle" on the cover of every dictionary.

Jaberwocky said...

The chicken in the burger isn't Scootaloo, it's just named after the best chicken.

nintendofreakgcn said...

Man, this makes me wish I lived in Germany. That burger looks surprisingly delicious. Seriously, I'd try it even without the pony reference. It being called Scootaloo is just the icing on the cake, and various other food metaphors.

Octavia said...

Oh goodness, the Scootaloo burger won? lol That's hilarious and awesome. I'll take a Scootaloo with ketchup and pickles! :D

BlazingTorch said...

I as a German Brony will eat them scootaloos in honor of all of you out there that wont get the chance to even taste it...

CurryKatsu said...

So, instead of being the toy in the Happy Meal, Scootaloo IS the Happy Meal?

dontstopme said...

YES! Being German finally pays off! :D
I normally avoid it, but I think it's about time to visit McDonald's again ^^

Winter Storm said...

Time to go to Germany and get meself one o' them Scootaloos!

Ardashir said...

Why is everyone surprised to see this? I thought we all knew that McDonald's was putting horse meat in their burgers for years.

Biglulu said...

Time to get myself some Scootaloo, baby. Hoo!

Vipera said...

Tastes like Scootaloo! YUM!

Leonstia said...

I swore i would never step foot in a Mcdonald again, but this is an exception. I will eat one when they come out in konstanz :)

Sir Le Flour said...

Well then.
Time to visit Germany.

David said...

Quit gripin', people, it's not like you're eating a pony. You're eating a chicken.

Senior Waffles said...

It is a chicken sandwich right? Whelp, time to start referring to McChickens as Scootaloo's from now on.

Hayguard said...

Wow! Got a chicken burger named after Scootaloo. Heh. Just amazing.

Charles-G said...

She'd make a better burger for chick fil' a if you ask me.

wackplayer said...

Now here comes the hard part. We gotta order a couple of them whenever we swing by Germany within the next few weeks.

They'll drop a couple of the least-ordered items. So, we know what to do. When you're hungry for a chicken sandwich, go and grab a Scootaloo.

Ignore the USA backlash over one of the radio ads for the McD stores in one neighborhood, okay?

FreezingShock said...

@Spikely Whiplash It´s the first word he says after that little break at 1:05.

I´m glad I didn´t waste my time voting for it. And even though I´m not all that fond of McDonalds, I might just get one next time I visit Germany.

Luhood the Zebrony said...

Time to await its arrival to the rest of the world. You know it will go well if you eat enough of it! Don't disappoint us now, German Bronies! :)

El Boufon said...

I so remember when it was first posted (when the voting was still on) and now it actually happened. First a burger then the WORLD!

aki1993 said...

i was just talking to a friend about this then i see its possible it could happen XD that is so badass!! to bad its not for all mcdonald's :(

James Corck said...

I'll go to Germany only so I can get in a McDonalds and ask for a Scootaloo. Then I would be able to say that I ate her. I don't care if that sounds wrong XD

Forte said...

that's funny... I thought they already had a chicken sandwich...

OH SNAP!!!

Choco said...

I'm so going to buy a Scootaloo this summer! Going on a trip to Germany in early July.

neverending said...

I'm sorry my fellow bronies but Scootaloo hasn't won! :-(

DarwinBird said...

Dude, I think it will make it. McDonalds already has a shared copyright with Hasbro (toy sales) dunno why they wouldn't.

Acriaos said...

Well, too bad :( I was hoping for the Scootaloo chicken burger to win, but well, only 5 out of 20 could prevail so the chances were against us.

You can see the 5 winners here:
http://www.mcdonalds.de/mein_burger/index.cfm#/finalisten

Let's hope for next year?

Wheeljack said...

What a shame. The one with the most honest votes didn't make it.

SkeletonPack said...

This is one of those times that I'm glad I live in Germany.

Dr_Vulpine said...

I had intended to post THIS a few days ago, but deprivation of sleep made me forget:
"Another step closer for bronies to hug Scootaloo.
Silly bronies, no play with ur fewd. XD"

Still, top 20 wasn't bad.
And looking at how 4chan submissions got pretty much disqualified; trolls trolled.

Zane Fuji said...

Okay...I SO WANT THIS.
