was really fun.

I love all kinds of dancing.

I can hip-hop. I can pop.

See, this is Alvin right here.

I love him.

I love, um-- I love putting on the mask,

and, um...

just being inside of him.

It's like I can be...

I can move any way I want,

and, um-- I love it.

It took me seven and a half years

to graduate, but I did.

And I lived and breathed

my mascot life, like, 25/8.

I loved it.

I've been doing it for a long time.

I went to the Fluffies five years ago,

and I got honorable mention.

And that means I'm--

That's like first place, really,

but it's a weird first place, and, uh...

So, I'm gonna go back again, and...

It could be my last time, you know?

This could be my last hurrah.

Um...

My swan song.

My name is Tommy,

also known as the Fist.

I am the official mascot

of the Blue Lake Mallards.

Lot of people say I'm the bad boy

of sports mascotry.

And to be fair, I am currently serving

six temporary suspensions

from different stadiums

for some physical incidents

that took place between myself

and some opposing players

and team mascots.

I'm also currently serving a lifetime ban

from the Calgary Cavaliers

for a...

sexual incident

that took place between myself

and their team owner's wife.

Hey! What is--

What?

-Hey! Hey, stop!

-Get off! What are you--

-Hey, stop humping my wife!

-Get off me! Jesus!

I'm originally from Ireland.

My parents founded a...

religious commune,

I suppose you'd call it.

A spiritual community

called Highway to Heaven,

based on the spiritual teachings

of Michael Landon

in the 1980s' TV program.

It was around that time

that I got into sports mascotry.

I started as Kenny the Kangaroo

for a local high school football team.

And the part of the act

that people really responded to

was the fighting

that Kenny would get into at the end.

And so, eventually,

I just cut out the middleman

and went straight to the fist...

which I think works well, artistically.

My name is Phil Mayhew.

In my pretend life,

I am a real estate appraiser.

But in my real life,

I am Jack the Plumber...

official mascot

for the Beaumont College football team.

It is truly a dream come true for me.

Looking good, boys.

Looking good!

Kirby, what's up, bro?

Hey.

Boys are looking good. Clemence!

Clemence!

What have we got,

the Cougars on Saturday?

That is a tough group of boys.

We beat 'em last time,

but, uh... you always gotta

keep your wits about you, don't ya?

Mm-hmm.

-All right, guys. See you Saturday.

-Hey, come on, man.

Who was that guy?

I think the mascot is as important

as any member of the team.

'Cause when things are going good,

it's easy, but when they're bad,

that's when I come out of the tunnel

Christopher Guest

Christopher Haden-Guest, 5th Baron Haden-Guest (born February 5, 1948), usually simply known as Christopher Guest, is a British-American screenwriter, composer, musician, director, actor, and comedian who holds dual British and American citizenship. Guest is most widely known in Hollywood for having written, directed and starred in his series of comedy films shot in mock-documentary (mockumentary) style. Many scenes and character backgrounds in Guest's films are written and directed, although actors have no rehearsal time and the ensemble improvise scenes while filming them. The series of films began with This Is Spinal Tap (directed by Rob Reiner), and continued with Waiting for Guffman, Best In Show, A Mighty Wind, For Your Consideration, and Mascots. Guest holds a hereditary British peerage as the 5th Baron Haden-Guest, and has publicly expressed a desire to see the House of Lords reformed as a democratically elected chamber. Though he was initially active in the Lords, his career there was cut short by the House of Lords Act 1999, which removed the right of most hereditary peers to a seat in the parliament. When using his title, he is normally styled as Lord Haden-Guest. Guest is married to the actress and author Jamie Lee Curtis. more…
