More disturbing Olympic Mascots


The London Olympic Committee continues the fine tradition of creating Olympic Mascots that kind of freak me out.

Obviously, nothing is going to ever be as on the nose as the Beijing Olympic Mascots, but these do stand out for their freakishness.

Actually, isn't there something vaguely Simpsonian about these? Are they perhaps just redrawings of Kang and Kodos? I'll post a pic of them below and let you decide.

Certainly, Lunchbreath has nailed it:


spoof of the new London Olympic Mascots

Am I right?

Matt Have you seen the introductory video for these two, very interesting stuff!


message 2: by Mark (new)

Mark Rayner No, I'll have to check it out. I'm sure you could do a PhD trying to figure out what the hell is going on with Olympic Mascots.


message 3: by Matt (new)

Matt Oh I think there is a PhD dissertation in the making on Olympic Mascots.

Here is the video that explains that provides the origin story for the London 2012 mascots- Wenlock and Mandeville!
