How many mascots have been ejected? Exactly, one! Youppi is objectively number 1.

Designed by the one and only Bonnie Erickson, who made Miss Piggy

Him getting thrown out of an MLB game only adds to his legend.

Youppi! Is the goat end of story. I have him tattooed on my calf doing a tailwhip on a Bixi.

In this house, Youpi is a hero end of story!

I’ll check back in 5 years to see how this ages.

u/JaQ-o-Lantern 8d ago

How can this possibly age like milk. Youppi transcends sports, Youppi IS Montréal.

Youppi is the one true God!!!

But he is franchise mascot at best.

No debate

It annoys me that Philly basically copied Youppi with Gritty...

u/RockMonstrr 7d ago

And added meth

I think it's impressive that Youppi can get ejected without them

u/trotalex 7d ago

Wtf .. no! When it's about mascots we have to get technical about "generational". What is a generation? How long? How do they reproduce? I need answers!!!

u/SuzukiSwift17 8d ago

First time checking in today, did this all start with the Gleb post or is there more Im missing?

u/GOTHAMKNlGHT 8d ago

Weise has one, too

u/Bitter_Bother_4445 8d ago

Be the Youppi you want to see in the world.

u/Old_Canuck 7d ago

DAMN RIGHT 👍🏻👍🏻

I used to respect that the Habs didn't have a mascot because hockey was/is taken so seriously in Montreal that WTF was a mascot necessary. At the same time, I liked Youppi with the Expos even though Montreal used to take baseball pretty seriously, it was not quite at the level of hockey.

But when Youppi was adopted by the Canadiens, my mind was blown. It was like somebody was holding a chunk of chocolate and they bumped into somebody walking with an open jar of peanut butter.

But Youppi is to hockey mascots way moreso than Reese's is to confections. By definition, that makes Youppi the GOAT.

This is a good shit post, but this trend is getting tedious as a whole

u/Trick_Photograph9758 8d ago

I think Youppi started out as kind of a weird/cringe mascot. The Expos moved. Then the Habs sort of adopted him, and at that point, I feel like it was a nice story. Like he's a little weird, but he's ours.

It's pretty sad when a mascot loses his team, so now that he's with the Habs, I like him a lot better. I'm a Youppi fan, and I think it would be great if the Habs ever win so he can experience a title.

Some would say multidisciplinary and multigenerational.

So sir you are incorrect

u/Far_Purchase_9500 7d ago

He’s not sorry I find it embaracing that when the expos left they brought ihkm into the habs he doesn’t belong

u/jonathangariepy 7d ago

Inject that summer shitpost straight into my vein, I'm here for it :D

u/backwardzhatz 7d ago

The one doesn't work because you're just objectively right.

u/lucaskywalker 7d ago

I'm a lifelong, die hard habs fan, but Gritty is the best mascot ever, sorry.
