*applauds*

Would it be ruining it to point out that most people don't really care about the hamburglar either way?

I care about the hamburglar.

yeah this is pretty much the best secret ever

Best secret I've seen so far!

The Hamburglar? The fucking Hamburglar? What the actual fu--

He's a stupid cartoon character invented by McDonald's for pure comedic effect. JFC, fandom.

Sometimes it feels like people only care about being right, as opposed to trying to actually understand the reason our societies are constructed as they are and then trying to change things.

No argument there.

Oh, seconded.

True thing is true.

Of course, human nature + competitiveness + murkiness of subjectivity, it's so hard not to fall into that. It's hard to erase/compensate for that, a lot of cognitive biases evolved to enable us to make quick decisions, etc. plus trying to stand firm in the face of wider society constantly screaming BULLSHIT!! at you, but I think we should keep the self-bullshit detectors on too, keep with the self-awareness, and try not to slide into simplistic sanctimony. I reckon, anyway, who knows I could be wrong :P

Yet love the hamburglar who has stolen far more innocent burgers

Okay, not gonna lie, I'm cracking up something fierce at that sentence. (And was in a completely rotten mood before this 'secret', so thanks for that anon. Hehehe.)

You, Sir/Madam, are my hero(ine).

Oh well, anon, you-tried.jpg

Not arguing - though I would probably add that some of the people who are on the right side really need to look at how they're claiming to talk for a group of people, and ignoring what that group of people has to say.

Bravo!

The worst one yet.

The Hamburglar is our savior. By getting those fatty, high calorie burgers off the streets he is helping limit access to foods that contribute to a multitude of health issues. Compare to Walter, who is putting a product detrimental to our health ON the streets.

I hadn't thought of that angle for the Hamburglar. He's just trying to save us from ourselves. He's not a robber, he's a vigilante. He's really just misunderstood... this intrigues me.

He's the hero this city needs, not the one it deserves.

He is....THE DARK KNIGHT BURGLAR.

He used to be old friends with the clown. They ran together, a few years back, peddling their deep-fried shit to kids. Kids! And then one day, it happened - little Timmy Weathers OD'd right in front of him. Deadly combination of a super-sized fries and adding salt to the ketchup, and he was done for.

After that day, he donned the identity of the Hamburglar, trying to undo the wrongs he did in the past.

But first, he must kill the clown. Oh, Ronald tries to disguise his true face, with campaigns of "active living" and "healthy options," but deep down, he's the same old monster, just with a new coat of paint.

(Guys I'm like two paragraphs away from a full-blown fic, please stop me now.)

That interpretation doesn't make sense. Within the McDonald's narrative, the Hamburglar's storyline is about stopping innocent restaurant goers from getting the food they love. It's abundantly clear that the Hamburglar doesn't care about anyone around him. He is stealing burgers for his own burger empire, even if that means stealing food from children.

Walter is terrible, but we shouldn't let our concerns about obesity blind us to the Hamburglar's villainy.

Are you F-ing kidding me!??!11(eleventy)!!

Are we watching the same 80's commercials? The Hamburglar is not a savior. He never got away with the hamburgers, he always got caught and those burgers were put back on the street. If he's a "vigilante" he sucks at it, since he can't even outsmart a clown and a purple blob.

Whereas Walt has managed to avoid getting caught for several seasons. Walt has managed to stay off the radar of the DEA, the Cartel and rival meth makers.

I don't watch the show, but I agree 100% with you. So many fans AND creators say things along the lines of "But we already have a/n __________ character!"

For real? The limit is one? or in some cases with gay characters, the limit is one COUPLE. Obviously there are only two gay people in this entire universe! How lucky it is that they found each other.

I shall henceforth award you with the title "King Of Trolling Hilariously". This title is only valid for the next 24 hours. XD
