Helping in McDonald's! (マクドナルドでお手伝い! Makudonarudo de Otetsudai!) is the first episode of the Tamagotchi Original Animations series.
Synopsis[]
Mametchi, Memetchi, Flowertchi and Kuchipatchi help Makdotchi manage the McDonald's in Celebria, during a rush hour.
Plot[]
Mametchi, Kuchipatchi, Memetchi and Flowertchi are seen conversing outside of the McDonald's in Celebria in front of a very long and messy queue about how excited they are for McDonald's. Two pairs of mothers and child walk out of the doors, meaning Mametchi, Kuchipatchi, Memetchi and Flowertchi can go in and order their food. As soon as they walk in they see another enormous queue and only one employee working, Makdotchi.
As Makdotchi then frantically fills out an order and hands it to Maidtchi, Memetchi comments on how unfair it is and Mametchi suggests they all help Makdotchi run the restaurant. Kuchipatchi freaks out at this statement, and nearly cries because he just wants his meal. Mametchi, Kuchipatchi, Memetchi and Flowertchi all go to the counter and ask Makdotchi if he wants them to help him, which he responds to with tears of joy thanking them all.
The four all line up in their new uniforms and promise to do their best, but havoc soon unfolds with them running around the small area to fill out orders. Kuchipatchi turns around, saying how he could make himself an order, and Mametchi bumps into him while running to prepare an order. Kuchipatchi then stumbles into Memetchi who starts spinning around in a circle, Kuchipatchi falls into Flowertchi who crouches near the floor holding her knee, while at the same time Kuchipatchi falls backward into the drinks machine where he gets his head stuck. Makdotchi looks at them with a mortified look on his face as Memetchi spins, Kuchipatchi struggles, Flowertchi cries, and Mametchi tries to regain his balance.
The scene skips ahead and Mametchi is seen talking to Memetchi, Flowertchi and Kuchipatchi explaining a more orderly method of handling the orders, which they all agree with. Flowertchi runs the cash register, Mametchi prepares the burger, Kuchipatchi prepares the french fries, and Memetchi pours the drink. Makdotchi is seen with a look of amazement etched on his face and exclaims "Cool!" The final scene is Mametchi, Kuchipatchi, Memetchi and Flowertchi all tucking into a well deserved McDonald's meal after their shift while Makdotchi thanks them for all their help.

Trivia[]
- The episode could have been made to promote the Tamagotchi Corner Shop game, Tamagotchi no Kira Kira Omisetchi, as it features a McDonald's in Celebria the player can work at with Mametchi, Memetchi, Kuchipatchi, or Flowertchi. The food menu in the animation also resembles the menu in the game and the player can dress up their partner in the same McDonald's uniform they wear in the episode.
- In 2010, the episode was put on private on YouTube as McDonald's stopped sponsoring the Tamagotchi franchise. However, after some time, McDonald's started sponsoring Tamagotchi again, but the episode was never relisted for public viewing.
- After McDonald's stopped sponsoring the franchise, Makdotchi's name was changed to Happyburgertchi and the M was removed from his hat.
