5 of the Creepiest Brand Mascots

Brand Mascots can be great for a company and make the audience feel like they can trust them and that they are fun. Then there are some brand mascots that are just plain creepy. I have complied five of the creepiest brand mascots from (5) being the least creepy to (1) being the creepiest below. Check it out.

5.) Mr. Six

Mr. Six is my number five creepiest brand mascot. I used to find him funny when I was younger and he did make me want to go to Six Flags. However, I have since then grown up, and upon further analysis he is a pretty creepy guy. Look at who he is. Mr. Six is an old man in a tuxedo dancing like there is no tomorrow. Granted it is funny but something that is funny can still be creepy, and Mr. Six fits the bill. Although I must say compared to the next four he is not really creepy at all.

4.) The Fruit Gusher Heads

I like fruit gushers as much as the next person, but I am not going to lie, the older commercials creeped me out. A kid would pop a gusher into his mouth and then... BAM! His head turned into a giant fruit. Why would I want to eat something that would turn my head into a fruit with a face? It's just creepy. Not only that, but the kids were enjoying it. I don't remember the last time I was thinking you know what would be neat if I could change my head into a fruit. I would hate to meet a person with a fruit as a head in the dark.

3.) Jack in the Box

I had never seen Jack before a few days ago when I asked over twitter who people thought was the worst mascot and someone answered me Jack in the Box. Here is what she said:

I had to check him out and I agree with my friend that Jack is a creepy guy. Having a giant white ball with a pointy nose, yellow hat, and wide smile on a human body is not my idea of a mascot I would trust. In fact he is like the Fruit Heads except at least they can change their facial expression. He is a creepy mascot and not one I would want to ever meet.

2.) The Burger King

Sometimes he makes me laugh. Most of the time he makes me uncomfortable. Always he's creepy.

This is The Burger King.

He is no longer on the air anymore, but I remember when commercials with him were running. I think they may have intended him to be creepy, maybe to be funny as well, but mostly they accomplished creepy. The King would always be staring at the people in the commercial. In one he was sitting on the bed as a guy woke up. Who would want that? His insistent staring and never talking creeped me out. He was a good concept for a brand mascot, but a plastic kings head that stares only served to make him a mascot that made me unenthused to go to Burger King.

1.) Ronald McDonald

Ronald is a great mascot and has earned popularity all over the world, but he is the creepiest mascot I have seen. This is probably due to my fear of clowns, but I do not find Ronald as a person that I want to hang around with or for that matter get a burger from. He is always so happy and busy helping out kids so he can put a smile on their face. That is pretty nice. But who is he behind that make up? I don't know. Also why is a clown selling hamburgers and fries? He has not had the rest of his creepy gang in a while, but that does not lessen the unease and discomfort I get around him or watching him. To me he is therefore the creepiest brand mascot around.
