Mascot Madness and Sideline Shenanigans
What is sad mascot so sad about? Probably the lack of action going on here at YMS. When we started this project, we had no idea it would grow to be so popular, and well liked among all the readers, and how much flack we would catch for going a day or so without posts. So, for the past weeks we have been putting together a plan to continue … [Read more...]
In this promotional video for ESPN, GSP (thats what we call him in the biz) trains the Princeton Tiger and the UConn Husky to compete in the Octagon. The Ohio State Buckeye could have used this knowledge a few weeks back. Honestly, it's a little half-hearted, but got a few chuckles from the staff here at YMS. I mean really, what can you … [Read more...]
If there's two things Koreans love, it would be their mascots, and their soccer cheerleaders. Well buckle up becauste this clip seems to have both, and it looks like they mesh together perfectly. There's not much to say about the clip other than the commentary from the girl watching... My favorite line... "There's kids watching!" Mascot … [Read more...]
There are a lot of traveling mascot acts out there… from your Chickens to your Zooperstars. But not many have the claim of being a two man mascot act. That’s exactly what “Stax” the stunt footy mascot is. Apparently, letting the dogs out takes more than one person. The video says it all. I just wonder if they flip a coin to see who … [Read more...]
I don't know what the obsession in SouthEast Asia is with choreographed mascot dances, but here's another one. Supposedly Old Master Q and Big Potato are popular Manga/Anime/Nerdgasm characters and they like to make public dancing appearances. Ifthere were ever two mascots that didn't look like they should be popping and/or locking... it … [Read more...]
I don't know if this is an official mascot or a crazed fan, but either way I think it has gotten out of hand. This Rafael Nadal mascot was seen wandering the streets in Spain while the real Nadal was probably somewhere beating Roger Federer. Let's not get too crazy guys. Tennis players already have big heads, they don't need to be big AND … [Read more...]
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...]
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...]
Okay, so not necessarily sports related, but they are damn sure mascot related. I figured we'd shown you all the green mascots for St. Patty's day, now it's time to reward those clever beer companies for venturing into the mascot realm. And what would a beer mascot rundown be without Keggy The Keg, unofficial mascot of Dartmouth … [Read more...]
I don't know much about the following video, but I do know this... They love mascots in Korea. They relish and exploit any chance they get to put someone in a mascot outfit and make them dance around. In this clip, it looks like they just ran down to the corner costume shop and picked up 5 of the most generic mascot costumes ever. Give … [Read more...]
