McDonald's has given the Hamburglar a gritty reboot

Type of Hamburglar to steal your food then play a 3-hour EDM set

Remember the Hamburglar, that charming little moon-faced boy with a penchant for Big Macs? He's grown up into the kind of asshole who wears a tie around his neck without wearing a shirt.

The new fedora-wearing burger terroriser comes as part of McDonald's brand overhaul, with Ronald McDonald having recently been given a new gilet and cargo pants.

The Hamburglar's return was teased in an advert posted by McDonald's in which he loses his shit after hearing about the restaurant's new sirloin third-pound burgers.

So far some people have mused that the new Hamburglar looks like he doesn't own a TV, while others have suggested he is too good-looking to be a beef thief, christening him Mumford and Buns and saying they would willingly hand over their burgers to him.

In a statement made to Mashable, McDonald's said of the new Hamburglar:

"We felt it was time to debut a new look for the HambuThe rglar 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."
