Someone made a Gritty out of cheese, and it’s perfect

TwitterFacebook

Christmas came early this Friday, when a sculpture of Gritty made out of cheese was unveiled.

The Philadelphia Flyers’ mascot was crafted by expert food sculptures Jim Victor and Marie Pelton  using three 40-pound bricks cheddar cheese, according to Philly Voice. We assume it had an extra sharp flavor profile — it’s what Gritty would want.

And, if you’re feeling doubtful that any artist could ever truly capture Gritty’s chaotic and charismatic essence, just take a look at this glorious tribute:

Gritty crashed a wedding and it was as gloriously weird as you’d hope

TwitterFacebook

Nobody likes a wedding crasher — unless that crasher is Philadelphia Flyers mascot and hero of the Weird Internet, Gritty

On Friday, photos and videos surfaced from a wedding in Philadelphia where the Great Orange One appears to have dropped in unannounced to the utter delight to everyone involved.

Christmas movies would be better if all of them starred Gritty

TwitterFacebook

If there’s one thing to be said for this garbage year, it’s that at least it gave us Gritty.

Terrifying yet endearing, with wild eyes and a wide fixed grin, the orange mascot may have begun life as a Philadelphia Flyers mascot, but he’s since grown into so much more. He’s a meme, a Halloween costume, an antifa icon—to put it simply, Gritty is the gift that keeps on giving.

And there’s certainly no reason for that to stop now that we’re in the season of giving. Gritty was made for Christmas! Christmas was made for Gritty! So without further ado, we present to you the 12 days of Gritty. Read more…

Someone really went and got Gritty tattooed on his butt

TwitterFacebook

I regret to inform you that a living, breathing human being really went out and paid money to get Gritty tattooed on his ass. 

25-year-old James Kirn has been a Flyers fan his whole life, but he took his dedication to the demonic NHL mascot to a whole new level by getting the bright orange horror permanently inked onto his left cheek. Gritty’s terrifying grin, fiery fur, and unfocused eyeballs will grace Kirn’s body forever — or until he gets it lasered off. 

Here’s a slightly NSFW/not safe for life itself picture of the tattoo that will probably make you reconsider where we are in human history.  Read more…

The Philadelphia Flyers have a new mascot, and WTF???

TwitterFacebook

The Philadelphia Flyers revealed its new mascot Gritty — and he will haunt you for the rest of your foreseeable days.

The scraggly, googly-eyed, orange-haired mascot was made public Monday morning, and looks like the result of an unholy union between the Babadook and a Muppet from Fraggle Rock.

Gritty is probably the last thing anyone needs, or wants to see at any sports arena. But hey, here we are.

Join us in welcoming the newest member of the #Flyers Family, @GrittyNHL!!
