15 Funniest Mascot Moments In Sports

sports events draw millions of people to stadiums around the world every year to see the action play out on the field but there's far more that goes on behind the match itself with cheerleaders competitions endless food choices and as much to drink as you could want it's a full day of entertainment one of the things that people look forward to the most is the antics of their teams mascots who will dance and gauge the crowd and keep the energy high of course some are far better in this role than others so we've scoured the globe to bring you the 15 funniest mascot moments in sports number 15 mascot eats cheerleader the Tennessee Titans mascot T Rack is a raccoon in honor of the state's official animal appearing at all of their home games he's known for his stunts such as ziplining into the stadium and rappelling down buildings in downtown Nashville but his most famous performance took place on the field in 2010 during a game against the Raiders who were then based in Oakland in the fourth quarter he got into an argument with one of the cheerleaders after he got in the way of her routine and for a moment there was a faceoff Tirek let out a gust of air towards her and suddenly leaned over to devour her hole it took him a while to fully digest her and then the game was able to continue without further incident the cheerleader was sadly never seen again and the following game Tirek had clearly put on quite some weight that's definitely the last time anyone from the cheer squad will stand up against him and definitely explains why Cartoon Network viewers voted him as the most awesome mascot before we go on like this video smash the subscribe button and click the notification bell right now or Slenderman will come from under your bed when you're sleeping number 14 jazz bear it can be tough as a mascot you're expected to support your team with full vigor but all the while being heckled and called names by the opposition the Utah Jazz bear doesn't take grief from anyone though and has some unique ways of dealing with those who aren't on his side here in 2013 during a match against the Houston Rockets he walks through the stand quite innocently spraying silly string onto anyone wearing the opposition's jersey one fan doesn't exactly take this well though because the string goes straight into his beer and this is when things took an awkward turn he stood up shouted at the bear and poured his beer over him before wiping the remaining silly string from his shiny bald head clearly still agitated the man continues to shout and has been escorted away by security guards let this be a lesson to you if you're ever in Utah and see a bear don't cover it in beer it's never going to end well for you especially if you're from Texas number 13 houston astros dancing security guard mascots are responsible for keeping the crowd entertained during pauses in the match that's unfolding in front of them but being hidden behind fur gives them a great opportunity to challenge anyone they want to join in with the festivities houston astros has a mascot called Orbitz and as you clearly know this giant fluffy green thing is of course a baseball loving alien [Applause] the sport is the only reason he came to our planet and it's lucky for him he was able to get a job so close to the action during the second game of the 2017 ALCS he was showing some of his dance moves to the crowd when he was approached by one of the security guards to try and get him to move with the groove - usually you'd expect security personnel to remain looking glum and to ignore the stupidity around them but on this occasion things didn't go as orbitz thought they would the garden looks at him thrusting towards him gives him a cheeky grin pushes him away and then starts busting shapes of his own the funny thing is that the security guard was much better at dancing than orbit and truly did have the moves like Jagger number 12 Phillie Phanatic pregame Phillie Phanatic is a giant green furry bird who surprisingly isn't able to fly he's the mascot of the Philadelphia Phillies MLB team which is who he has supported all his life in the Galapagos Islands before taking the brave step of following the American dream and moving to the place that's synonymous with cheesesteaks he's also one of the most famous mascots in the world was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2005 and is often the subject of contract disputes with the team who refused to let him leave to work elsewhere if this video is anything to go by then it's no surprise that they want to keep him because he's brilliant during the pregame in 2011 he's seen performing his comedy routine and starts hassling all of the cameraman and other people around him if there are any other budding mascots watching this video from the far-flung places and remote islands then take your lead from fanatic he's just got the right level of humor and mischief and it's no surprise that he's the team MVP number 11 Orbitz confronts the A's it must be difficult being an alien who's traveled thousands of light-years to be a part of a baseball team especially one that's based in Houston but despite the confusion of our strange habits Orbitz has certainly made the Astros his home he's obsessed with the sport so much so that he even has baseballs on the end of his antenna but he doesn't always understand what the players are doing before the game here in 2018 he's trying to perform a routine in front of the fans but the pesky players keep making weird movements behind him he can't quite figure out what they're doing so gestures at them to help him out they ignore him of course presumably because they don't understand his language but Orbitz comes from a persistent species of aliens and keeps trying he moves ever closer to the team who clearly don't want to play ball but eventually Pinder relents in a moment that he surely regrets he holds the hoop and orbit jumps through it almost taking the players arm with him in a very awkward close encounter number 10 mascot can't stay on his feet in hilarious outtakes white bear Mitsubishi is a car dealership in White Bear Lake Minnesota and when they decided to film a commercial the obvious choice was to choose a hockey rink as their location they brought in two mascots a polar bear and a beaver and while the beaver managed to manage comfortably on ice surprisingly the polar bear who surely must have spent most of his life in arctic conditions immediately began to struggle as soon as the actor says he wore the wrong socks the bear falls backward onto the ice and this was just the beginning of his slippery rise to online fame there were so many mistakes by everyone apart from the beaver that the company released an outtake video detailing all of them it seems at every moment that a word is spoken the bear loses its footing and then at the end possibly the funniest moment is once beaver slides in the final line is spoken and just a gentle pat on the back sends the polar bear flying forwards once more if this is how they handle themselves on the ice no wonder they're going extinct number 9 mascot UB got tossed usually you'd expect a mascot to be working alongside game officials to ensure that the crowd remains entertained throughout the whole event but in 1989 things didn't go entirely to plan and you pee the mascot of the Montreal Expos became the first and only one to be ejected from the stadium in case you're wondering he's an orange hairy giant that came from the same strange world that Miss Piggy Statler and Waldorf were born during the infamous game he was stood on top of the visitors dugout and decided to take a running leap before landing with a massive thud on the roof of the enclosure he quickly got up and snuck into a seat in the front row but it was no use somehow the manager of the LA Dodgers had managed to see the discreet orange fur ball in the act but it's a reminder of how dangerous even a soft weapon can be in the wrong hands he complained to the umpires and yupi was unceremoniously thrown out it didn't end all bad for him though he was allowed back in but confined to the home teams Doug act and would continue being their mascot until the team moved away in 2004 number 8 Benny the bull opens birthday presents we all know that mascots have birthdays just like the rest of us but it's surprisingly rare that these dates coincide with one of their team's games if this footage is anything to go by it's probably a good job it doesn't happen very often because things soon turned into a farcical mess this is Benny the bull the mascot of the Chicago Bulls and during halftime in a game in 2018 the announcer and other mascots threw a surprise present party for him he begins by looking frightening ly menacing at each of the gifts and accidentally fires a t-shirt high into the air but it's when he's given a bet that everything turned chaotic on came a birthday pinata and Benny suddenly wondered what the rest of us have questioned for so long what's actually inside a mascot he laid chase with his bat and what followed was a Benny Hill inspired race around the court before they ran towards the exit sadly we'll never know for sure whether the pinata contained candy or intestines number 7 pig mascot loses its head mascots versus children tug-of-war tug-of-war was an event that was held at the very first Olympics but since then it's become less of an elite pursuit and more like a competition you'll see at a school sports day in recent years though there have been efforts to bring it back into the mainstream with people taking it extremely seriously and the first such competition took place in 2016 on that groundbreaking day a team of professional tug-of-war champions all of whom were under the age of 8 took on the new comers a model II crew of mascots including a cow a chicken a pig a bee a Care Bear and well some other nondescript foamy creatures unsurprisingly the mascots didn't stand a chance against such an experienced phone and they soon began to slip and slide all over the grass at one point the pig even lost its head due to the extreme forces that were being passed along the rope and revealed an unexpectedly blonde spinal column before managing to retrieve it the organizers hope this will become the new top-rated sport around the world and we're sure you'll agree they're on to a bona fide hit number 5 Minnesota's Goldy gopher Trucks young football player there's not much to say about Minnesota's Goldy gopher mascot he's from Minnesota he's called Goldy and he's a gopher but he's also a great football player if you're not quite convinced that an adult rodent who failed in pursuing a career in the game cell resorted to joining the entertainment side of things can stand up against a teenage recruit than just watch this footage from a game in 2017 the team of trainees were lined up against Goldy and his team that was made up of a crow a bear and some other anthropomorphic animals when the ball was passed to Minnesota's golden child he took the ball and boy did he run with it and just as he approached the endzone he trucked one of the Opposition in brutal fashion the kid didn't stand a chance and to top it off the Gopher performs one of the best touchdown celebrations you'll ever see in scenes that came straight out of the Exorcist his head starts to spin around and around proving that he truly is the baddest of them all number four savage moment mascots are there to rile up the home crowd and help cheer on their team to victory while you might as a supporter get involved in an argument with some visiting fans you should always rest assured that your mascot is there to take it many levels further than you would ever dare and the best thing is they always get away with it in this clip we see clutch the bear who's the mascot of the Houston Rockets he's a passionate basketball fan but he's even more passionate about his dislike of the opposition and decided to use a birthday cake to his advantage he spotted an enemy fan who was sat courtside and ran straight up to him despite the fans pleased to leave him alone clutch ignores him and smacks the cake into his face the guy was sent flying to the floor in a moment that was far more impressive and savage than the Houston Rockets have ever managed in a game and the recipient of the attack for some reason failed to see the funny side number 3 many the bulk kiss cam steals Celtx fan girlfriend as every guy knows ball games are the best places to take your girlfriend and put on public displays of affection if you really love her maybe you'd even propose to her on the jumbo screen she truly loved that button most times it's best just to give her a big smooch when's the kiss cam focuses on you you had better be prepared though because the whole arena is watching that screen so if you aren't paying attention and especially if you're busy on the phone and being impatient with your partner there just might be a mascot on hand to teach you a lesson that's what happened at this Chicago Bulls game when one poor woman began to question where she had gone wrong in life to end up with such a miserable man but Benny soon showed up to the rescue made good use of her soda by pouring it all over him and then carrying her up the stairs hopefully this was a lesson to her that she shouldn't take Noble from anyone ever again number two Yount a Wilder knocks out mascot cold while most mascots are lovable and adorable there are quite a few that are creepy and deserve what's coming to them that's definitely the case with this Mexican mascot for ESPN who unsurprisingly takes on all of the stereotypes we try to avoid in the modern but fortunately the man who fights for justice around the world Deontay Wilder just so happened to be in the right studio to promote an upcoming fight he nobly steps forward to banish the ridiculous mascot to the history books and smacks him right between the eyes while there stands tall with a joyous expression on his face knowing that he'd just done what every viewer of the show had wished they were able to do for years but it seems the hosts were more concerned about the body lying motionless on the floor it turns out that mascots aren't impervious to pain and taking a punch from one of the world's best boxers isn't something they are prepared for perhaps next time they'll bring in Speedy Gonzales to give him a real test of his reflexes number one best mascot fight ever if you've ever wondered what struck first the orange chicken or the purple dinosaur then you're just about to find out this has got to be the greatest on-field battle between mascots of all time and it begins as a dance-off where the Dino undoubtably puts the chicken in its place in fairness there's only one dance a chicken can ever do so it decides to change tack as its opponent is walking away the chicken instigates a wrestling match that even Vince McMahon would be proud of it launches itself at the dinosaur and gets a three count it throws the dinosaur over the security barrier and consigns it to history just where it belongs all they needed or some pyrotechnics and an undertaker and there would have been no question that this was sports entertainment at its finest which of these mascot moments did you find to be the funniest and if you are given the chance to be a mascot what would you choose to be and how would you entertain the crowds make sure to let us know in the comment section also check out our other cool stuff showing up on screen right now see you next time
