Dude, pointing out other creepy mascots doesn't make the Happy Meal one any less creepy.
And it's not just the fact the box with TEETH AND EYES is smiling at us.
It's like you kinda have to reach your hand down into its gullet after you open its head to retrieve the food, all the time wishing it doesn't sprout impossibly long limbs and starts chasing you away, laughing and vomitting bits of happy meal toys at your fragile mortal form.

I dunno, none of those have ever been particularly creepy to me. The box is just horrifying. |

All I know is that I get overly sensitive to supposedly normal things that are too anthropomorphized since I got my daughter a talking toy parrot for Christmas that was clearly possessed Chuckie-style.
Seriously, that talking toy parrot said something to my wife and I when we were putting it together Christmas morning that clearly wasn't on its list of programmed phrases and it said it at a time that could not have made it any clearer that it meant to say it. See, we were sitting on the floor in our room putting it and its stand together right after waking up. My wife was still only wearing the T-shirt she wore to bed when she picked the bird up and turned it upside down to put something onto its claws. This placed the toy's face in a position where it was pointed at my wife's uncovered bajingo (remember, only a T-shirt).
It was at this point that the bird said something that was not in its list of programmed phrases. What did it say?
"Ooh, gross!"
That's right. Not only was it possessed; it was possessed by a gay spirit. After that point I became leery of anything that seemed too human-like.

Everything is apparently creepy to someone. I never thought Ronald was creepy, then again clowns don't creep me out because I was well aware it's just a guy wearing make up. I was always surprised that people found him scary or creepy. The McDonaldland characters were classic. The box with a generic face just lacks imagination and is just stupid.

The Hamburgler in that cartoon is terrible.
a box with a mouth isn't creepy. And sure I can use comparisons to point it out. That's how things work

The box was just a really weird and off picture. Once they animated it and basically just showed it as "fast food minion" it just became uncreative.

It looks like the Klasky-Csupo "Splaat."
Faux Hogan did a YouTube video where the actor provided a scary laugh to the Happy Meal:
