Was he a dreamboat or just plain creepy? If you’re still trying to make up your mind, check out the company’s new promos starring this contentious character.

Among those questions: * Does the Hamburglar always leave his house dressed in regular clothes and then later change into his Hamburglar outfit? Where does he do this? The gym? A Barnes and Noble bathroom? * Who are the cake and candles for? Does the Hamburglar have children? * What does “robble robble” actually mean? What does the Hamburglar think it means? * Why does McDonald’s insist on relying on the tired trope of a nagging wife? * What does the Hamburglar’s wife think he does for a living? * Does the Hamburglar really think his outfit makes him look _less_ conspicuous than he would if he just wore jeans and New Balance sneakers like everyone else? * How does he use his phone’s touch screen while wearing those leather gloves? _Read next:_ [_Here’s How McDonald’s Makes Its French Fries_](http://time.com/3675518/how-mcdonalds-makes-french-fries/) New Hamburglar: McDonald's Tweets Twitter Videos ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3858880/mcdonalds-new-hamburglar-twitter-ads/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3858880/mcdonalds-new-hamburglar-twitter-ads/"},"headline":"Watch McDonald's Extremely Bizarre New Promos Starring the Hamburglar","datePublished":"2015-05-14T18:11:28.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:48:28.576Z","description":"They raise so many more questions than they answer","url":"https://time.com/3858880/mcdonalds-new-hamburglar-twitter-ads/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Food & Drink"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3858880/mcdonalds-new-hamburglar-twitter-ads/","name":"Watch McDonald's Extremely Bizarre New Promos Starring the Hamburglar"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Should I Eat Pork?","description":"Should I Eat Pork?","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/pApjZewf/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-05-13T18:31:33.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/pApjZewf.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3858880/mcdonalds-new-hamburglar-twitter-ads/","duration":"PT1M56S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3858880/mcdonalds-new-hamburglar-twitter-ads/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
