Top 10 Worst Company Mascots Ever

Company mascots are meant to be the friendly, recognizable faces of a brand, characters that make you smile or at least remember the product they're hawking. But sometimes, things don't go as planned.

Some mascots end up being more confusing than charming, or worse, downright creepy. Whether it's a misguided concept, poor design, or just something that doesn't click with audiences, not every mascot can be a winner.

The Top Ten

  1. Jack Box (Jack in the Box)

  2. Spongmonkeys (Quiznos)

    I agree, as these were already the main reason I stopped going to Quiznos. What's worse is that Subway isn't safe either! I actually used to think Subway was better than Quiznos, but then I learned the darker truth about their mascot/spokesman, Jared Fogle, who turned out to be a pedophile. No wonder I prefer Firehouse Subs now.

    Looks like a drug addict created this thing. I can't tell if it's supposed to be a person, an animal, or a potato with eyes and lips, and then a preschooler finished the final touches on the design.

  4. Happy Star (Carl's Jr.)

  5. The Noid (Domino's)

  6. Wendy (Wendy's)

  7. Burger King (Burger King)

  8. Arby's Oven Mitt (Arby's)

    Nakadasshi (Nakadashi Gakuen)

    He would have been fine if he wasn't broken.

    13. The Contenders

  13. Proto (Protogent)

    Bad recolor/rip-off of Super Why.

    Lol. That is literally orange Super Why.

  14. The Kinder Egg Man (Kinder)

    I didn't plan on sleeping anyway.

    He sucks for being so creepy.

  19. Progressive Box (Progressive)

    The Progressive Box should be in the top 3 because it's so creepy and annoying.

  20. Crazy Craving (AKA Craver) (Honeycomb)

  21. Happy the Happy Meal (McDonald's)

    To be fair, he should be ranked above Ronald McDonald.
