I miss seeing The Travelocity Gnome commercials on TV, they are so nostalgic. Honestly, I feel nostalgic for the early 2000s in general. My local Burger King used to have the BK Kids Club on the playplace and it was my first exposure to them. My mom grew up in the 80s and 90s and she's introduced me to all sorts of fun and unique mascots and we both like to watch mascot-related videos. I don't know if these characters have enough material to make a video on, but could you do the Nabisco mascots one day? There was Cookie Man [a superhero], Nabisco Thing, Oreo Cookie Middleman, the Honey Grahams bee [who despite still being on the box doesn't have much of a prescence], and the one I find the most interesting: Buffalo Bee for the defunct Nabisco cereals Rice Honeys and Wheat Honeys. He was voiced by Mae Questel, who was the voice of Olive Oyl from Popeye, Betty Boop, and another advertising mascot: Hasbro [boy] for Hasbro Toys. Her voice is VERY recognizable [Buffalo Bee in fact wasn't the first bee character she's voiced, she's done a few others], and adds a lot to the character's charm. Buffalo Bee is also somewhat rowdy for a mascot, makes sense given he's a cowboy bee. He also had a few comics by Dell that also introduced his girlfriend named Honey. The story of Rice Honeys and Wheat Honeys itself is interesting given they actually predate Sugar Crisp, but it has a sad ending. Despite him being obscure, Buffalo Bee is one of my favorite mascots. Cowboy mascots are common, but Buffalo Bee is pretty unique. He was also one of the first bee mascots and I think that's pretty neat.
I suppose, since there's new people tuning in, that it's time to once again trot out the explanation of how the title of this series is somewhat of a misnomer (heh, misgnomer), because really what it refers to in the sense of "dead" is more that the mascot no longer has the iron grip on pop culture that they once had and has instead pretty much faded into obscurity. Because, believe me, if we truly only focused on actually defunct mascots, the show would've been over in 6 episodes just for lack of video content to make it lol
@@workhorsefilms Nah, your explanation was very sincere and thoughtful. You're such a sweetie and I'm honored to be working with you 🥰 Also I think that might have been my very first TH-cam comment ever
Hey, yeah, sorry about the somewhat sloppy audio work in this episode. It was the first one I'd done in over a year, so I'm sort of getting my skills back hah Next one will be more clean and properly leveled!

Please tone done the background music. It's drowning you out on my headphones.
