Inspired by my rant in LJ about how scary the Quaker Oats man is, and this funny article I found online about the scariest commercial mascot, I made this thread. Who do you think is the scariest commercial mascot? I put some that I found scary, but list some of your own! :)
*That site contains some profanity, just letting you know.
Arby's Oven Mitt scares me. :(
That glove is creepy. :(
I've never liked the Hamburger Helper Hand, in the same vein of the Arby's oven mitt. I guess there's something about anthropomorphized human extremities.
Also, the Morton's salt girl. Why is she pouring salt, outside in the rain? Is it tradition from a now-anachronistic marketing campaign? Or some sort of satanic ritual?
Mr. Clean scares me. He's too muscular. And he looks even more sinister bald.
That crazy Scotish guy from the Alexander Keiths commercials.
I sure as hell wouldn't want to run into Mr. Clean in a dark alley.
The Old Navy people arn't scary, just smurfing annoying. Every time I see one of those commerical, it decreases my chances of ever shopping at Old Navy again.
Ronald McDonald. Takes kids into his house, and lives with a giant purple talking turd.
The Kool-Aid Man. Anyone who's ever heard Dane Cook's standup routine knows why.

Not immediately scary, but imagine being forced to watch those ads on repeat forever.
Scary
Oh man, that Kool-Aid guy is scary. xD
And I don't know whether to laugh and say "wtf?" at that Miss McDonald LJ.
SERIOUSLY SKOGS! That thing is the devil. The way it jumps up to the screen, leers, and says "Hello!" *shudder*
That thing has some wires shaped as something. Is it an evil wing or an evil hand?
It looks kinda like a cow. :eek:
Also, why does Mr. Clean has white eyebrows?
Most definetly Mr. Clean. I knew a child molester that looked JUST like him!
That talking red piece of gum in the Extra gum commercials. He's really creepy.
My vote would also have to go to the Trix Rabbit. His voice is annoying, and he seems to be slowly going insane since the kids will just never give him the cereal.
The face of the devil, that is.Quote:

Eh, scary, annoying, what's the difference?
Ronald Mc.Donald scares me
That Burger King is horrifying in a hillarious way. xD
none of those are scary, 'cept these :eek: :

The burger king mascot possesses people.Thier new commercial is proof enough. Just look close enough and you'll see that those poor people are in an unescapeable torture. :(
I recently realized that all the mascots in this thread pale in comparison to the holy trinity* of scary mascots.
The Quizno's Subs Spongmonkeys

And NHK's infamous domo-kun.

* Except there's only two of them. Unless you count the spongmonkeys as two people.
P.S. Google image search for "domokun", and you will not be dissapointed.
The 'zoom zoom' kid. That Quiznos crap was pretty scary though.
After seeing the Spongemonkeys I think I'll eat at Quiznos
Those Spongemonkies rocked until they sold out to Quizno. :/
