About
Pakistani McDonald's "Sonic the Hedgehog" Happy Meal Commercials refers to a series of jokes and videos about a 2004 commerical for a Sonic the Hedgehog-themed McDonald's Happy Meal in Pakistan.

Origin
On January 17th, 2011, YouTuber SonikkuForever posted a video entitled "Hilariously Bad Pakistan Sonic Heroes Happy Meal Commercial – 2004." In the video's description, they wrote, "This is just…awful. It looks like a kid's first attempt with 3D Studio Max. How did Sega approve this trash? And yes, Rouge is naked.
