What the fuck is that thing
Oh hey it is the Honey Monster's cousin. The one the family don't talk about...
Wait did they just take a random Philadelphian off the street to make the a mascot?
if he can walk the walk like he can talk the talk then i'm in https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/133590/bba463cb-4059-4986-a745-7cec684ded7f/image.png
he looks like a rapists fursona
And our baseball mascot looks like the unholy fusion of Yoshi and Birdo. This is nothing new. https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/198768/6b0a2840-0fbb-49d4-b906-e92a913991fe/image.png

Shaggy? Check. Big and hulking? Check. Eyes bulging and in different directions? Check. Gigantic unending smile? Check. Prime nightmare material. Now just give it a flailing snout, flappy lips, and misshapen hands and it would be absolutely terrifying. let me tell you, snuffleupagus scared the shit out of me as a kid
Shot a staff member with a T shirt cannon too. https://twitter.com/orangeandsass/status/1044372945802588166/
As a Penguins fan, it's as if they're literally giving me more fuel to laugh at the Flyers. A friend in Philly that's a pretty big Flyers fan is so confused why they made this thing.
Yes, when I think hockey and Philadelphia the first thing that comes to mind is Cousin Itt's mentally handicapped possibly satanic nephew. Why do I suspect the mayor of Albuquerque of pushing this to cut down attendance so they end up the Albuquerque Flyers?

Say whatever you want -- It's the perfect mascot. It's weird. It's off-kilter. It's the kind of thing that's interesting to look at when the game isn't hot. That level of brute ugliness and off-kilter humor is going to make people want to take pictures with it. That's marketing gold, right there. They knew what they were doing.
I can't believe he already died
Isn't that just Pat from TBFP?
It can't be, he didn't have to aim up to shoot the other guy in that video.
I like to think in a couple hundred years the concept of dressing someone in a giant creepy mascot costume for sporting events and then referring to them as if they are that character, will be long dead and seen as incredibly weird and insane by our descendants
Too tall and too much hair.
Charlie Kelly is in that suit
I mean, furries do most of that stuff already and they ain't going anywhere.
Looks like Cookie Monster is goin' through some serious shit.
he never was the same after he sloped into harder pastries
You know, this thread has confused the shit out of me, I didn't understand what was going on at all and then I re-read the title and realised it doesn't say Paedophilia.
Aren’t mascots just furries with jobs?
All apologies to Maude Flanders
