McDonald’s Brings Back Hamburglar But In Creepy Human Form

McDonald’s Brings Back Hamburglar But In Creepy Human Form

McDonald’s has brought back its past loveable character Hamburglar, however it appears he’s had a revamp.

Gone is the puppet-esque, chubby cheeked guy. Instead he’s been replaced by what The Verge believes is reminiscent of a dad who is too eager with his Halloween costume.

He’s a burger flipping thief, with a family now.

He’s no longer this guy.

With ‘Hamburglar’ trending on Twitter, it appears the Internet is torn between wanting to bed this guy and wanting to throw a cheeseburger in his face.

As well as eliciting some pretty funny suggestions.

In a statement to Mashable, Joel Yashinsky, McDonald’s’ Vice President of U.S. Marketing, said: “”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. 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.”
