as a kid i always thought that was what he was
Generic 'fun' kid appealing friendly monster to attract all the children into making their parents buy overpriced happy meals.
No, The Nuggets already had a mascot they were just chicken nuggets with facial features.

When he was introduced there were no such thing as chicken nuggets.

He used to have four arms and was an evil monster. His original name was Evil Grimace.

Obligatory post.
Was the Hamburglar supposed to be a black and white Cheeseburger?
>>7090352
He was an escaped convict with Sombrero and gimp mask.
Grimace was the harpo of the group, never talked just jumped around and acted retarded. And hung out with the Fry Guys, who were equally demented.
Then of course the evil clown.
The chicken mascot was Whirlie, ambiguously gay chicken that flew single engine aircraft.
Mayor McCheese? That's ones obvious.

As a kid I always thought Bob's Burgers meant something like pic related.

No, he's a Potato..Birdie represents the chicken part of the menu.
It's an aliteration joke. "Purple Potato".

>was this guy supposed to be a big purple chicken nugget?
No, he was around long before McDonald's came up with chicken lugnuts.
I believe he's supposed to be the patron saint of milk shakes.
He's a big purple butt plug

>The Grimace
Pink Slime
Mc Donald's "pink slime" food additive is actually purple and the inside joke is if you knew what you were eating you'd grimace.
There was a website on the net back in the early days that exposed this and posted the threatening letters they received from Mc Donalds.
