First in a long line of surreal and sometimes disturbing offerings from [[Sid and Marty Krofft Productions]].
Line 23 ⟶ 24:
As a historical note, the basic design and characters of McDonald's "McDonaldland" commercials were blatantly plagiarized from ''H.R. Pufnstuf'' in 1971 after the Krofft brothers refused to license the ''Pufnstuf'' characters for use in a McDonald's commercial campaign. The Kroffts sued in 1973, and won the case in 1977.
