What was the name of McDonald’s pirate character in McDonaldland?

Captain Crook was McDonaldland’s pirate character.

He appeared in McDonald’s fictional advertising world alongside Ronald McDonald, Grimace, the Hamburglar, and other figures. His pirate costume and name connected him with the Filet-O-Fish and the campaign’s playful food-themed storytelling.

Captain Crook was part of the character-based branding that helped McDonald’s present menu items as elements of an imaginative community. The characters were used in commercials, packaging, and other promotional material rather than being independent products.

Captain Crook is commonly confused with the Hamburglar because both were portrayed as mischievous figures. The Hamburglar’s stories centered on hamburgers, while Captain Crook was the pirate associated with McDonaldland’s seafood imagery.
