McDonald’s Brings Back The Hamburglar And We Aren’t Sure How To Feel
Consumerist ^ | May 6, 2015

Upon hearing buzz that McDonald’s has brought back that scamp the Hamburglar to network TV after a 13-year hiatus, ostensibly in Burger Thief Jail, the image of the chubby-cheeked, one-toothed masked beef marauder might come to mind. But lo — the scamp is gone, replaced by a suburban dad with a full set of teeth, a five o’clock shadow on his chiseled jaw and a penchant for red leather high tops and trench coats.

“We felt it was time to debut a new look for the Hamburglar after he’s been out of the public eye all these years,” Joel Yashinsky, McDonald’s’ Vice President of U.S. Marketing said in a statement to Mashable. “He’s had some time to grow up a bit and has been busy raising a family in the suburbs and his look has evolved over time.”

Nobody wants the 1/3-pounder.

That maybe true. But I was asking what the price was for a 1/3-pounder.

And these McDonalds marketing clowns guys get paid for this. No wonder sales are tanking. The new hamburglar looks like a dirty ol’ man that has been hiding in his parents basement far too long. He could use a bath and a shave.

Oh, McDonald’s has brought back the “hamburger”? Well, what were we eating for the past few decades? I know they didn’t taste like hamburgers but they sure looked like them. Guess ketchup covers a multitude of sins.

Hamburglar? Oh, sorry!

Correct. Real beef tallow fries. Substantial real beef burgers, you know greasy juicy! And to hell with what libtards have to say about it.

The new turdburglar Hamburglar is nowhere NEAR as creepy as “Wake up with the King”.

That explored previously unknown realms of creepy.

I like to say “ that’s Burger King creepy” and most people know just how creepy that is and know it can’t get any creepier.
