17 RIDICULOUS FAST-FOOD RESTAURANT KNOCK-OFFS

You can't move round our way for KFC-inspired chicken shops. Dixie Fried Chicken, Tennessee Fried Chicken, Special Fried Chicken, Instant Diarrhoea Fried Chicken... They're all much of a muchness - featuring subtly different variations on the same cartoon chicken mascot. 

However, we're not the only country in the world to rip off the fast food giants, and are positively subtle by comparison. Just wrap your disgusting lips around this lot.

17. MICHAEL ALONE

Finally - a restaurant catering exclusively to single fathers! Single fathers called Michael.

16. WICHAEL ALONE

Finally - another restaurant catering exclusively to single fathers! Single fathers called, er... Wichael...

15. McDRAGAN'S 

Quite how a live striptease would work at a drive-in is anyone's guess, but it gives new meaning to the phrase "Super-Size Me"...

14. oMc McDNOALD'S

"oMc McDnoald had a fram... ei-oi-aboFc..."

13. MEGA FRIED CHICKEN

Mmm... the great taste of steam - nostril-licking good...

12. BUCKSSTAR COFFEE

Did you know that the image featured on the Starbucks logo is a twin-tailed mermaid? No idea what the Bucksstar Coffee logo is. It looks like the Bride of Frankenstein.

11. MASH DONALD'S

Interestingly, in parts of America KFC sells mashed potato and "biscuits" instead of chips. More interestingly, Mash Donald's just sells mash - massive troughs of it. What flavour is it? Mash flavour.

​10. STAR FUCKS COFFE

Sounds more like a tabloid newspaper headline than a coffee shop name.

9. OBAMA FRIED CHICKEN

We have it on good authority that this might be considered racist in America. 

8. MR MAHMOUD

Mr Mahmoud appears to have opened his restaurant in a medieval dungeon.

7. HITLER

Apparently, Thailand has a bit of a thing for Hitler-themed things (see below). Asking "Who fancies a cheeky Hitler?" is probably a thing there.

6. MaDONAL

The pictures on the sign look tasty enough. What's the betting they don't look like that when they arrive? You know: just like in McDonald's, where most of the food looks like somebody has sat/farted on it.

5. McKEBAB

As company mascots go it isn't great, but it's still a step up from the terrifying Ronald McDonald.

4. KABOOKY FRIED CHICKEN

No idea what Kabooky is - perhaps it's one of the smaller US Southern states... sandwiched somewhere between Old Zealand and Bennington.

3. MIKE WONG

Not only is Mike Wong trading on awareness of the McDonald's brand, but he's even thrown in the Nike swoosh for good measure. Perhaps the burgers are served in a trainer, or "pump".

2. BURGER FRIENDS

Burger Friends isn't just about the food: it also has a rusting trampoline on its forecourt. Just what your children need after shoving fatty food in their wretched gobs.

1. MC RONALD'S

McRonald's or MC Ronald's? For all we know he could be a DJ. Called Ronald. Who lives in a hovel.
