If you’re underwhelmed by the new Hamburglar’s antics so far—and are pining for the original criminal himself—you’re in luck, thanks to a spec campaign from production company Whiskey Tongue.

The #OGHamburglar campaign (OG being slang, of course, for original gangster) will feature a series of short films, one of which was just released—showing Ronald McDonald and Grimace picking up OGHamburglar just as he’s getting out of jail.

That’s about it so far, but the first spot is quite nice—gritty and disturbing in a Heath-Ledger-Joker sort of way.
