Mac Tonight was Happycat's closest ally. He was a guy with a moon for a head. He started out as a guy on the street, but Happycat randomly chose him to bless with the power of nigh-invincibility. He eventually became Happycat's advisor and fought with him against Bonzi Buddy and Geoffrey the Evil Toys-Backwards-R-Us Giraffe. Unfortunately, Mac was hit with a Bonzi Brainwash Bomb during the McDonaldland Shootout and was brainwashed to join the Bonzi Army. Shortly after he joined the Bonzi Army, he was killed when Billy Mays suffocated him with Mighty Tape. Happycat appointed Billy Mays as his new advisor, a position he still holds today.

- Mac Tonight was a mascot introduced by McDonald's restaurants in 1986. The only McDonald's advertising character not to appear in McDonaldland commercials, he was intended to advertise McDonald's late night hours to adults. He had a crescent moon for a head, wore a suit and sunglasses, and was depicted as being a jazzy lounge singer. The name was a play on words of the song "Mack the Knife", made popular in America by Bobby Darin. The song that played over the advertisements, called "It's Mac Tonight", was also a variant on that song, but with McDonald's-themed lyrics, such as those featured in the original 1986 commercial:

At McDonald's (showtime), it's Mac Tonight!" Other lyrics include this set from a 1987 commercial "When the clock strikes half past six, babe Time to head for golden lights It's a good time for the great taste -- dinner! At McDonald's, it's Mac Tonight Come on, make it Mac Tonight!" . Mac Tonight no longer appears in commercials in the United States, but pictures and statues of him can still be seen in some McDonald's restaurants. Talk show host (and onetime McDonald's employee) Jay Leno often makes references to his likeness to Mac Tonight and promos for his show during the credits of NBC programming show his face as a moon.
