+ | '''Marshie''' (capital "M", and then "arshie", as he once put it), a large, smiling white marshmallow with a bite taken from his side, is the genuinely alarming [[Fluffy Puff Mascots|mascot]] for [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows]]. He serves as a caustic and slightly absurd satire of any number of mascots hawking products to children. His face seems to have been inspired by that of the [[Wikipedia:Kool-Aid Man|Kool-Aid Man]] or the [[Wikipedia:Carl's Jr.|Carl's Jr.]]/[[Wikipedia:Hardee's|Hardee's]] [[Wikipedia:Image:Hardee's.png|star]]. He also resembles the characters on the [http://www.israelikosher.com/Product.asp?intProdID=735 Elyon kosher marshmallows] bag (in particular, the middle one on the bag). His slogan, "Made from the best stuff", is directly from [[Wikipedia:Snapple|Snapple]]'s slogan "Made from the best stuff on earth". | ||
- | + | Marshie has no positive relationships with any H*R characters. [[Homestar Runner]] "hates that freakin' marshmallow," probably because Marshie [[Meet Marshie|took his job as Fluffy Puff pitchman]]. [[Strong Bad]] seemed annoyed when Marshie [[retirement|tried to make a buck or nine off his heart-drooping loss]], and believes Marshie's commercials should be [[winter pool|rated NC-17]] for "Needlessly Creepy times 17". [[Marzipan]] does not fondly remember when her band [[Cool Tapes]] had to [[Baddest of the Bands|perform with Marshie]]. | |
- | Marshie | + | Marshie is infamously - and intentionally - creepy. His commercials have featured non-sequitur rantings, disturbing close-ups, inappropriate sound effects, faintly desperate pleas and even a behind-the-scenes nervous breakdown. He also tends to announce his appearances by uttering hackneyed slang phrases such as "'Sup fools!" and "Oh ''snap''!" in a heavy-handed attempt to convince kids to like him. However, this technique is essentially nullified by Marshie's innate creepiness, leaving the acceptance he seeks safely out of reach. |
- | Marshie | + | The use of [[Nibbles]] as a mascot in [[bottom 10]] may be evidence for Marshie's increasing unsuitability as a marshmallow mascot, or at least in specifically promoting Fluffy Puff's bite-sized Nibblers product. Indeed, his breakdown in [[Malloween Commercial]] strongly suggests that he is not satisfied in his role as a mascot. |
- | Beyond his creepy demeanor, it is insinuated that Marshie is not simply disturbing but actually evil | + | Beyond his creepy demeanor, it is insinuated that Marshie is not simply disturbing but actually evil. He is named as a "bad guy" in the song "[[Strong Bad is a Bad Guy]]", a vaporized version of Marshie in [[candy product]] cheerily warns that "you can't destroy me!", and in [[winter pool]], [[Gel-arshie]] calls himself "an abomination." Another example of Marshie being evil is when [[Gel-arshie]] acts like a stalker around [[Strong Bad]] in [[8 Bit is Enough]]. On the [[Main Page 26|Xeriouxly Forxe Main Page]], a robotic Marshie (Marxie) with pink drool on his chin, glowing orange eyes that show obvious looks of pure hatred, and a half-exposed brain on the area of his bite being covered by a glass dome will appear and say "Speed increased!" in an echo of Marshie's voice and then promptly explode. |
