Mascot Madness and Sideline Shenanigans
Okay, so I am starting to love WTF Wednesday, because this is what it is all about. Another video from Japan (they love their costumed characters), and this one doesn't disappoint. The premise of the video is that a bunch of mascots are trying to jump on a trampoline and land on top of a box... easier said then done when you see some of these … [Read more...]
Last week we wrote about the Lake Elsinore Storm mascot Thunder and his (fake) appearance on MTV cribs. Well, now he's back with a part 2, and this one is even better than the first. Quote of the week: Hey, yo man, who's layin cable in Thunder's crib? They promise part three soon, and you know we'll be on the case... Let that marinate in … [Read more...]
You may have noticed this year we haven't done much to celebrate the Final Four. That's because every lazy blogger out there feels the need to put out their own pointless "Mascot Tourney Bracket".

I've lost a few mascot auditions to Dave Raymond trained performers. Enough … [Read more...]

This spoof of MTV Cribs showing off the Lake Elsinore Diamond is the start of something really funny. ome of the best mascot skits are ripoffs of real stuff. One of the best lines... Check out this view... the … [Read more...]
Every year Sports Illustrated puts out a March Madness cover that really puts the madness into perspective. Their regional covers (this one from the west) show a variety of players, coaches, and of course mascots. Well, we played a little Where's Waldo and found 17 mascots on the cover this year... Can you find them all? Bonus for naming … [Read more...]
Is it just me, or am I starting to see a trend of WTFs coming from The Orient. Well, this one is no different coming from South Korea. It's not a WTF for the weirdness factor, but for the dancing factor. In the video, Sasuni (seen above) dances a near flawless choreographed number with the cheerleaders at a recent Samsung Lions game. This … [Read more...]
