years ago i worked with McDonald's and one of my jobs was managing the costumes used for store events, to include the Hamburgler. There was a sheet that was super clear about accepted behaviors and yes he can only say robble robble. One day saw the person in the costume, head off, smoking a cig.

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.
