Welcome to “Good Mythical More”. Let’s see if we can put mascots from ubiquitous products in the order that they appeared in time. Yeah man, that was awesome. But first- ‘Cause you know that mascots change over time. They get updated. Let’s list all winged insects. A fly. A moth. A beetle. A roach. A butterfly. Flying roach. That’s a bird, man. It’s not a bird. There’s so many winged insects. Yeah. A dragonfly. A termite has wings. Oh, some ants. Oh, that was where I was gonna go next. Now I’m blanking. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Mosquito. Mm. The turtle in Mario. I hate insects. There’s so many of them. We really don’t need as many. A ladybug. Whittle it down. Oh. Ladybugs are so nice. Ladybug. Ladybug. Yeah. But it has the word bug in it, we couldn’t say that one. There was a time in my life at my parents’ house, which was my house at one point, Lightning bug. Buies Creek. Actually, after I went off to college and I came back home and I would stay there, they had a ladybug infestation, which is the nicest kind of infestation you can have. Where was it? It was in my bathroom upstairs. You would go into the bathroom and there would be 15 to 20 ladybugs all around. Well, 15 to 20 an infestation does not make. Okay. I mean, you gotta have like 40. If you go into a bathroom and there’s 20 ladybugs, you don’t think, “We got a ladybug problem”? Yeah. Oh, you got a problem, but you don’t have an infestation. Oh. How many ladybugs do you usually have in the bathroom? 35. That’s a mild infestation. But we never did anything about it, because it’s, they’re so cute. What are their droppings like? I didn’t investigate that. It’s probably just dusty. Yeah. Yeah. It’s so small, you don’t even notice it. You probably lick it off of cups and stuff, and don’t even notice it. When’s the last time you went home and took a shower in that shower that you used to shower in? My parents don’t live in that house anymore. Oh, yeah. Haven’t for years. That’s true. But- Now, when you go home, do you stay at your parents’ house ever? Have you ever stayed there since they left? I don’t stay at my parents’ house. I stay at my in-law’s house, which they live like five minutes apart. Okay. And my in-laws have a bigger house . So that house that your parents moved out of, it probably still has a ladybug problem. I hope it does. We’ve been back to it. We’ve been back to it. We went back to it in our little Buies Creek tour. They let us in it. They let us in. That was a handful of summers ago. Handful. Check it out. Handful. So I’m seeing we’re starting out with the Kool-Aid Man, and we have some other ones. Clearly, he started without clothes. Put these in the right order. Well, I think he started without legs, So… and then he grew legs. Now that was definitely my instinct, Link. There’s a part of me that thinks that this is either the oldest or the most recent, because it might be like some cool way that they’re thinking about doing the Kool-Aid Man. They’re like “Hey, let’s just make it just like the way kids would do it at home, so everybody can make their own Kool-Aid Man.” But this is how the Kool-Aid Man, this is how he originated, this is where he started, you know? It’s like- Well, that’s what I want to believe as well. It’s like art imitating… Yeah. What is art imitating? I’m with you on that one. Fiction? And then, Art imitating life. This is just him saying hello. This is him jumping out and saying, “Oh yeah,” with another Kool-Aid in his… Well, he already had another Kool-Aid in his hand. And that’s like, “For God’s sakes, put some clothes on, buddy,” and so he put on some clothes in the ’90s, and then he put on some flip flops. Flip flops. Those last two are, I feel like maybe we need to switch those two because the graphic quality changed. I think they blurred ’em in order to- Confuse us? Confuse us. But you’re saying- Did you blur them to confuse us? You think he put on flip flops and a shirt- First. Before he changed the color of his shirt and put on full blown shoes? Well, I don’t know, man. We feel great about everything except these last two. Well, before I reveal, what years… You were talking about the last years, but like, gimme some year approximations. 1962, introduction of Kool-Aid. 1972, introduction of legs and arms. 1982- No, that’s too… You’ve moved too fast. 1978. No, the legs came fast, 1974. They came fast. Oh, there’s more legs. Oh, no jumping. Once you get legs, it takes two years to realize you can jump. Oh, is he jumping? Or his legs get shorter? ’72. I think he’s just seated. ’74. ’72, ’74, and then now close- They know that it was redundant for the Kool-Aid man to be serving Kool-Aid, another Kool-Aid man. But also the reason they ended up putting clothes on, Like a Kool-Aid baby. So, right, this is cool and cute with legs, then all of a sudden, he’s jumping, and now it his crotch is facing you, and they’re like, “We gotta cover that up.” He goes to the wall crotch first. It’s a very logical progression. Right. So now we’ve got ’90s- Tell us how right we are. And we got the two 2000s. I mean, you’re pretty right. Like the order is correct. Yes. And then it goes ’54. ’54. ’75. Ooh. ’83. Oh, yay, so- ’95, 2000. Wow. Wow, wow. Wow, wow. I don’t care for Kool-Aid. Okay, thanks for that. What is it? Is Kool-Aid good? It’s very good, but it’s- Is it good? not great for you. I mean, it’s just putting flavored sugar in water. I mean, of course, it’s great. All right, Rhett, here you go. Jolly Green Giant, take a look at that one. I’ve always wanted to be him for, I was gonna say Thanksgiving, but I’m starting a new tradition this year. I’m gonna be dressing up for Thanksgiving. Well, if it’s a Jolly Green Giant, it kind of works. You come to my house, I serve you, but I also am dressed up like the Jolly Green Giant. But you only serve like corn and peas? No, I could give you a whole turkey. Jolly Green Giant ain’t nothing to do with turkey, man. I do two turkeys. You know me and my two turkeys. Is this his woman? Is this his love interest? Oh yeah, look at her. She’s got a grocery bag. Everybody needs ’em a big man. Okay, and then we’ve got… This is like a 1960s- Very Shel Silverstein- Animated… Look how long his legs are, but his feet are so ill-defined. Yeah, ’cause it was like impressionist. You know, gimme the impression of the Jolly Green giant. Where is his actual crotch? That’s what I want to know. I think it’s in the corn. I mean, in this one. Is it really that high? I’m a little disturbed by how short his tunic is. That’s the only reason I haven’t done it for Thanksgiving yet. Yeah. Because I’m like, “Those tights, man.” I don’t want you walking over to me with the gravy boat. You know what I’m saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah, now I could do it for Christmas. Oh my goodness. I could do it for Christmas. Look at what happened here, Rhett. This is Christmas Jolly Green Giant. Yeah, maybe I’ll just wear it all month. He’s in the breeze, boy. From Thanksgiving right to Christmas. Look at how much breeze is blowing that scarf. Good, gracious. What a great character. All of a sudden he’s just got a red scarf? What a great character. Why? Why? Makes you hungry. And look at this one. Okay. This one’s like… That guy’s, first because that’s not great. This is like a placard at like a natural history museum. He’s working too hard. You know what I’m saying? It’s like Jolly Green Peasant. It doesn’t elicit good feelings, it doesn’t look like a mascot. I’m also confused about… if he’s a giant… Yes. Then why are the vegetables in two of these- Giant as well? So big? Because he… I don’t know. I mean, and why are these peas in a green canoe? Well, we just know that’s the beginning, right? And then I think this is… I think it goes to… I mean, look, this is a- Norman Rockwell. This is a 1950s one. And then they got a little bit artsy, and went to… Oh well, what about the… This is the most recent This is the most recent. No. Maybe scarf is the most recent. Scar face. And then we’ve got… ‘Cause this is like “Schoolhouse Rock”, “Schoolhouse Rock”, ’80s. Vibe. Could be ’70s. I think this is 70s, I think this is… This is really throwing… If this one’s ’50s, then this one has to be- See, you see the carryover though. ’40s. The carryover from this is like, well, he was holding peas, he’s still gotta be holding peas, okay. Let’s give him corn and a woman. Let’s give him a woman. He needs corn and a woman. You know, you got corn and a woman. You wouldn’t know it, but she’s almost more than he can handle. Oh yeah, she’s feisty. She’s a wild woman. Oh yeah. Then you got “Schoolhouse Rock”. I think scarf comes after. And I think it was a Christmas collection. Really? This is really a crap shoot. They’re like, “We need a little dash of red. We need a little dash of red for the Gen Zers. If it helps, that one with the scarf is right around the time he joined the Bloods. Right. Oh yeah. Mm, yeah, which is more recent than you would think. ‘Cause those gangs really love their scarves. Okay, we’re locked in. Gotta keep their necks warm. Okay, gimme the years again. ’40s. ’40s. ’43. ’50s. ’51. Late ’60s, ’90s, Last year. 2010s. Okay, you have two switched. These two probably. Yep. Okay, yep. They thought better of the scarf. They reneged on the scarf. Yeah, so it goes 1930. Wow. 1945, 1970, 1980, 2014. Oh, yeah. In the ’70s, he got kind of olive-colored. We’re seeing a slightly different graphic here, it’s got even more. So in 1930, he had a pea canoe, but in ’36, he just had a corn canoe. In 1928, he was just- In now in ’45, he had both. He wasn’t even green in 1928. He’s just a guy. Hmm. He only had the girl for a little bit. Oh, she proved to be too much for him. She was like, “I’m not gonna- Too hot to handle. Get on this freaking box with you.” Too hot to handle. Oh, so now- I feel like a prop. She said, “I feel like a prop,” she said, “I’m outta here,” You know who this is, Rhett? This is the guy from Toys “R” Us. What’s his name? Jeffrey? Yes. Ah. You did it. See, you can’t fool me. Throw it up there, man. I know who Jeffrey is. Okay. Trying to fool me. Now actually hand me that one. So I’m gonna start with this one and then I’m gonna give you this one. These two are strange. And then these, that’s just an actual giraffe. These three are like almost indistinguishable. Well, they’re distinguishable, but… So one of those over there is the first one. We gotta order this- Without doubt. This is the one that I remember from when I was into Toys “R” Us. I remember I went to Toys “R” Us one day, and it was when the Nintendo games were big in like 1990. And they would, they would have this like whole wall, and it would have these plastic flip cards, and you would just walk up to it and you would flip the cards to see… You would read the front of the game and then you’d read the back of the game. Wow. But you wouldn’t hold an actual game or the packaging. Right, just the front and the back. And then you would take a little thing and you’d go up to the front and you’d buy Street Fighter 2 for 75 freaking dollars. $75, can you believe it? That’s crazy. Is that how much a game cost now? How much do games cost these days? 69,99. Yeah. 69,99. They’re cheaper. They’re cheaper now. They got cheaper ’cause of inflation. So I remember this guy. This is the first one, because it just feels like they hadn’t dialed it all in yet. He doesn’t have enough personality yet. This is a weird diversion? What is this? This is like a… Dr. Seuss. But don’t you agree? That’s gotta be first. I mean, look, the proportions are a little bit off. But then I think it went to that. Then it went to that, and then they decided, well, let’s do something. I mean, I feel like you’re trying to make this… This is a female giraffe. Yeah, I think, you know, this is the reproductive organs. Right, right, right. The fallopian tubes. Yep. Right. The ovaries popped right out of those. I think that after skipping a couple of decades, they were like, “You know what? We’re going out of business. Screw it. Let’s give ’em fallopian tubes.” Yeah. Right. What about this though? This is like Jeffrey, who’s at the San Diego Zoo. They like decided to actually christen an existing giraffe as Jeffrey, as a publicity stunt. And maybe they did that when it went out of business. It’s like Jeffrey lives on, he’s okay, but the business kind of folded. I think what they said is we’re gonna stay open as long as this giraffe is alive, and then it died, and then they closed everything down. So that’s it. We’re locked in. A hundred percent right. A hundred percent right. This one is rough. This one’s pretty rough, gotta say Shoot. Fallopian’s first. I bet they started with this, didn’t they? Mm. They did? Our fallopian- No, they didn’t start with the photorealistic. They started over with fallopian. That was over time, the photorealistic. Do you wanna do any reorganizing or you want the… They started with fallopian. Yeah, people were too weirded out by it. They were like, “That’s not what’s happening on the head. Let’s get that more right.” And then they changed- Why did you move the whole… I don’t know. Thing, you messed me up. They really went off the rails. There we go. That’s what’s happening. Okay, so there you go. Yeah, yeah. So- They got desperate. They started with fallopian tubes. And this was- ’65. ’65, that was wild, man. Those are wild times. And then the next swing next year. They reigned it in. Did you wanna guess the years? It seemed like you wanted to guess years. Oh, then it didn’t take long. ’69, they did this. ’75. ’75. Okay. ’83. What’d you get? ’83. ’88. ’88. Oh they stayed without. So when you said that that was your Jeffrey, you were very correct. Yeah, I remember my Jeffrey. And then… Why did they do that? What? There was a time period for this type of photorealistic situation. ’90s. ’94. 2001. 2001. 2001. And then 2007. Yep, and you could tell that they were really on their way out. Once… Yeah, I mean. You got another one? Do we have another? Once they went to the real thing, they just completely started over. All right, all right. Let’s keep going, Let’s keep going. Fun keeps continuing. Do you know who this is? This is Mr. Peanut. Mr. Peanut. Yep, it says it on his hat. And then it- He is the planter’s peanut guy. It no longer says it on his hat, and then, oh my gosh. Obviously these are- I would say the one in the middle on your side is the first one. These are so close. So I would say if you put those, just like you have them over here, it’s probably one and two, ’cause they were like, “Maybe we should add a little brown to him.” Black and white… And then they were like- Everybody lived in black and white. “If we go brown, let’s go all the way to Browntown, and make him a peanut.” Right. And then they said, “Well, let’s clean it up a little bit, and make other parts of him Navy.” And then they said, “Let’s use a computer,” you know what I’m saying? These are hand drawn. CGI. And then they were like, “Let’s use a computer.” There you go, Mr. Peanuts. So we feel pretty good about this. 1928. No monocle. ’28s are old. Back then, 1928. The ’28s. Peanuts are old, 1928. 1935, 1941, 1959. And then this was actually… They kept this for a really long time and then they just did this one last year. 2022. Ish, ish. You have two switched. Oh, okay. Uh. Whoa. Maybe it’s these two. I dunno, that doesn’t make any- Why would they do that? Why don’t they do that? It wouldn’t be these two. It seems like a nice progression. Yeah, but he had the monocle. Why would they take the… Is there a monocle on the eyes? Yeah, there is. Oh, there is. But it’s so much worse. This is definitely the… This is so bad, it has to be the first. Then let’s move this one second. And then they were like, “Oh, people don’t like it. We gotta go back to… Got to back, back to to bad.” Back to white. Okay, wait, no. So… The one with some brown in it… Is first? Is first. What? And then the one without color. Yeah. Interesting. That’s very strange. And then they went back to basically the same pose and everything. See the monocle became transparent for a couple of times and then it became translucent. What years are we talking about? ’25. Oh, I said ’28. That was impressive Then… ’27 to ’47. Okay. ’48 through the ’50s. Wow. 1962. Wow. And 2016. Dang. Hey, I impressed myself. They changed him very little- I was kind of BSing my way through that, and I got the decades right. I think they translated him into a vector image. It’s kinda like when we made our show 4K in the future. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, right. Yep. And, and also all vector. The whole show’s just gonna be vectors. Vector- We’re not even gonna be here, it’s just gonna be CGI. It’s scale-independent. You can zoom in as close as you want to us and we’re still gonna be high fidelity. And also what we’re gonna do, it’s probably a good time to go ahead and tell you this, is that we are entering every single GMM script into ChatGPT right now. It is spitting out scripts for us, and we’ve got a voice modulator that’s gonna recreating our voices. We’re gonna map that onto vector images of us and we’re gonna retire. And you can zoom in all you want. Show off your pride in the Mythical Always Proud Collection. Available now at mythical.com.
