12 Times When Team Mascots Went Too Far

hello everyone mascots are an integral part of any sporting event they are specifically chosen for major tournaments and championships in many cases by public vote in addition different clubs as well as national and local teams usually have their own mascots [Applause] which are dearly loved by fans of all ages during the breaks in the game they are in charge of entertaining the public today we will show you some pranks and mischiefs of different mascots that will be remembered by the fans for a long time let's get it on unusual game mascots cheer up the crowd during the game but they can also handle the ball pretty well for example it's common practice in american football to hold small competitions between a team of mascots from different clubs and a team of young athletes they usually play during the halftime break in addition the children who are invited to the field are not just amateurs but young professionals do these children have any chance against mascots that are more than twice as big as them they do actually touchdown in this footage shot in minnesota you can clearly see that the kids are incredibly skilled and as a result the match ends with a devastating score of 12 to 6 prank on tv it's probably not news to you that many sports commentators work right at the stadium threat anthony martial is in these american journalists were filming a story during warm-up before the philadelphia flyers versus the los angeles kings hockey game first the screens showed the players training but when the camera showed the sportscaster again their place had already been taken by someone else it was gritty the mascot of the philadelphia team dancing in front of the camera a few moments later the mascot even threw silly string at the reporters it should be noted that the journalists were broadcasting live and behaved very professionally and clearly they had to make a great effort bad joke as you can see gritty is a very nasty mascot not only does he make fun of journalists rick take it away but also of the public and for no particular reason it's simply his way of being in this video for example you can see how a fan of the st louis blues gets ready to make a selfie with the funny mascot from the other team but instead of posing for the picture gritty takes the fan's hat off and not only does he take it off but gritty immediately without hesitation throws the hat away in an unknown direction the face of the guy seems to speak for itself would you laugh at the joke or would you be angry with the naughty mascot acrobatic tricks the denver nuggets basketball team mascot prefers to entertain the crowd not with strange pranks but with his own acrobatic skills during one game he surprised fans by doing a spectacular backflip from a seat and then challenging a spectator to do the same but the mascot did not expect to find a real pro in the audience he first repeated the mascot's trick and then crossed the entire basketball court doing cartwheels like a professional gymnast at the olympics unlikely couple the kiss cam follows the fans in the stands during the break and can't embarrass anyone imagine the following situation you're having a bad date and want to go home as soon as possible and suddenly the crowd demands that you show your feelings you have to admit that you wouldn't wish that on anyone but the mascot of the basketball club atlanta hawks feels like a star in the kisscam he already knows how to behave in such situations he immediately hugs the fans sitting next to him and well you can see it yourself it's so bad that it's good by the way the tradition of showing different couples during the break and demanding that they kiss each other goes back to the 80s back then huge screens had just appeared on the basketball courts and the promoters wanted to make the most of them some believe that the romantic part of the show can only be seen in the stadium but in fact it is often broadcast on television so any mistake can remain forever in history hit to kill the main task of a mascot is of course to entertain the audience and turn an everyday situation into a show and sometimes ideas literally appear out of nowhere that's what happened to the san antonio spurs basketball club mascot when he was accidentally hit by a ball during the game the funny coyote first fell to the floor then got up with his eyes weirdly placed and then lost them somewhere in the stands we must say that he definitely has great acting skills dangerous game the hosts of sports competitions do all kinds of things to cheer up the public during the game this is one of the most original activities during halftime in this case the mascots and the cheerleaders participate in a very unusual game acting like a human bowling ball they run at full speed against the soft pins to the cheering of the crowd however it seems a little dangerous after all the mascots are protected from impact by their thick suits but the skinny cheerleaders collide without any protection however judging by the faces of those present everyone likes this unusual [Music] entertainment shocking footage t-rack the mascot of the tennessee titans football team has tens of thousands of fans on social media and has even been awarded the title of the coolest mascot according to cartoon network his pranks on the field are a big part of his success take this for example the funny raccoon with a huge head approaches a cheerleader and in less than two seconds swallows her let's hope this trick was rehearsed and planned beforehand or it could have caused the girl a heart attack cheerleaders get together whoa by the way speaking of the most memorable and successful mascots you shouldn't think that creating such a mascot is easy each mascot needs not only a bright and charismatic appearance but also a unique personality like a real person in the history of sports there are cases when mascots turn out not to be the liking of the public and become a failure a good example are these two strange cyclops chosen in the uk as the mascot for the 2012 london olympics at that time they even invented a new technology special cameras incorporated in the mascot's heads thanks to which anyone could see the big sporting events through their eyes but the characters turned out to be so boring and silly that nobody remembers them but at the 2014 fifa world cup in brazil fans fell in love with fuleko a charming armadillo even today they remember him fondly he was a total success pranking a player the scary mascot of the memphis grizzlies doesn't mind playing a couple of jokes on the field here you can see how he approaches the opposing team's player and offers his hand for a reconciliation handshake the player first hesitates but then responds to the bear's gesture after a few seconds however he was immediately disappointed in his new friend when he noticed that he had glued a sheet of paper with the words kick me on his back the way it's amazing how players can put up with mascot's jokes without being rude after all before the game or during halftime the athlete's head is probably full of much more important things on the other hand a joke can even help them as it reduces stress and helps them think about other things epic fall [Applause] in august 2017 london hosted the world athletics championship one of the most important sporting events in the world here an anthropomorphic hedgehog was chosen as the main mascot of the championship and unfortunately he cannot boast good acrobatic skills unlike the protagonist of one of the previous videos during a break in one of the competitions the mascot decided to encourage the spectators by going down to the field doing somersaults on the stairs been causing a little bit of a stir with their antics keeping the crowds entertained but the most interesting was yet to come the mascot climbed on a hurdle with the idea of performing some acrobatic stunts but finally lost his balance and fell in the most awkward position and even though we know it's not real it still hurts to see it plotting against opponents [Music] some mascots make viewers laugh on both sides of the screen for example orbit the mascot of the houston astros baseball team has some special humorous skills in one of the games against the detroit tigers the funny alien with antennas on his head decided to play hide and seek at the same time he also had a fishing net to catch a player from the opposing team the latter was saved in time by a teammate who made orbit angry and left him with nothing to be honest in the end we feel a little bit sorry for the charming mascot serious battle as you may have noticed some players on the field don't mind playing with the mascot to cheer up the crowd here's another funny episode that took place during a baseball game between the tampa bay rays and the los angeles dodgers he made that pitch he was ahead of the count and then brantley gets it with two the mascot of the first team decided to compete with one of the members of the opposing team however not playing baseball but boxing they both put on huge gloves which made the situation even more comical and it all ended as expected with the spectacular fall of the mascot but how do they manage to fight looking like it's in slow motion [Music] [Applause] [Music] you
