RICK: Hey, how's it going? Good. An authentic Ronald
McDonald helium head. All right, what's
the thing in its mouth? That's where you
put the balloons. So this is for
filling balloons? Yes. So where did you get this? I got this at a yard sale. So you just sort
of had to have it? Yeah I did. OK. [clown horn] I've come to the
pawnshop to try to sell my Ronald McDonald helium head. I just don't have room for it. I'm moving on. And I'm hoping to get
$500 for it today, and I know there's
collectors out there. I'm moving, so anything
I can get will help. Do you know how old
it is, or anything? Well, it was made in 1977. RICK: OK All right. It makes sense. So have you ever tried it out
to make it work or anything? I actually haven't. It's got the wiring and
stuff, so I'm sure it would. You know what, I
think I know someone who used to operate one of these. Chum, you worked at
McDonald's, right? Yeah, why? Oh, Ronald. RICK: Did you use one of these
when you worked at McDonald's? No, Rick. This thing looks like it
came out before I was born. RICK: So you know
nothing about this? It's Ronald McDonald, the
greatest mascot of all time. This is the face of McDonald's,
and if you're a kid, you're not coming to McDonald's
because you like the food. You're coming to McDonald's
because of Ronald McDonald. Since they made their
menu catered towards kids. They used to have people come in
and they would buy Happy Meals, and they would just tell us
not even to put the food in it. They just wanted to buy
the Happy Meal for the toy. But we didn't
really fill balloons up when I was at McDonald's. But I went to McDonald's school,
and you would watch old videos because why remake them? And-- [laughter] So if you were a parent and
you wanted to have a birthday party for your
kid, you would have a birthday party at McDonald's. You'd call them, you'd say,
I'm bringing in 10 kids, or I'm bringing in 20 kids. And you know, they would set
the place mats out on the thing. The kids would eat a couple
bites of their burger, throw their French fries
everywhere, poop in the slide, and be gone. [laughter] RICK: Any idea what it's worth? I don't know. What are you asking for it? $500. I don't know if
it's worth $500, but I do know that McDonald's
stuff is worth a lot of money. But you're going to have to come
up with that price on your own, Rick. Thanks, Chum. I don't need you anymore. Being the expert I am
in McDonald's memorabilia, I feel pretty good
about this item. McDonald's merchandise
is very collectible. I think Rick should definitely
buy this thing because if you throw some face paint
and a red wig on him, I think we've got a match. RICK: Well, I thought there
was just an inkling he would give me some insight into it. Apparently not. All right, so I'll
tell you what. I'll give you $200 for it? 350. I'll go $250 on it. 300? Nope. I'll go-- I'll give you $250. OK. I'll take it. RICK: All right.
- Thanks. RICK: Cool. Let me trot over there. We'll do some paperwork. All right. I should never have stolen
Chum away from McDonald's. My life would have
been so much easier. What in the-- Corey! COREY: What? RICK: Why are there
balloons everywhere? I don't know. I figured you were having
a baby or something. Chum? CHUMLEE: You call,
you shall receive. Why are all these
balloons in my office, and why are you
carrying balloons? I got the Ronald
McDonald balloon maker working so you could sell it. Ta-dah. Look at it. Why didn't you just
tell me you got it fixed? Well, you called
me in as the expert, so I thought I'd show
you my expertise. He's got a point there, Pops. Just leave, both of you. And take the balloons with you. Calm down, Humburglar. All right? Just get the
balloons out of here. CHUMLEE: I'll come back
after lunch and get them. [laughter]
