"Yes, YOU Can Meet Moon Man!" is a McDonalds commercial that aired on television in the late '80s, near the end of the golden era of Moon Man's career as McDonalds mascot Mac Tonight. It was produced by BigX. Moon Man himself appears briefly and speaks a single line, which contains profanity and is itself a death threat to the viewer's family, and then sings his catchphrase "It's Mac Tonight!" Due to the controversial line, Nancy Reagan successfully pushed for the FCC to tighten broadcasting regulations, and the commercial was banned in the US. This stunt was part of the increasingly erratic behavior that led to Moon Man being dismissed from the Mac Tonight role, although he would return to the role in later years.
