The Phanatic meets Gritty photos are life.

I finally went through this thread from start to finish, and in all honesty, I am posting this with tears streaming down my face.

Best. Thread. Ever.

This place can be pretty witty and hilarious at times.

I wonder if he'll be sued for copyright infringement.

I wonder if he'll be sued for copyright infringement.

I seriously doubt it, picking a fight with media company isn’t a good idea. It’s not like their lawyers wouldn’t have made it different enough anyways.

Gritty might try and have a feud with Jon Oliver though.

Please no more late night comedy takes

Cellee, u onto something..

100% career Flyer in the costume. Could be a long-time Flyer under writer. And, I don't mean Hartnell. Someone that has been with them for years.

Whoever it is had somewhat of a vision. Didn't happen overnight. This person approached the Flyers with this pitch, no doubt.

Look at the result thus far.

You sure it wasn't potentially Hartnell? #GrittyDown

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

OMG I love this. Lmao

Phanatic is the greatest mascot of all time, yes better than SanDiego Chicken. Any mascot would be thrilled to meet him.

Wouldn't that be Comcast going up against AT&T?

Jesus Mary and Gritty I’m bumping this thread because it’s on the second page.

Come on people!

Wow that might have been one of the worst jokes i've ever heard from supposedly a "comedy show". SNL is so trash nowadays.

The news update is so political and poisonous I rarely watch it. To be honest, at my age, staying awake long enough to watch something like SNL is almost impossible but I still give it a try once in a while (especially for season openers and the Christmas episodes). I miraculously lasted to the end this weekend and was rewarded with one of the funniest skits I've seen in a long time:

This is brilliant but so is this entire thread. Please sticky this and never let it die.

Philly needs to win the cup so they can make Grittys face out of gems on the ring.

Wouldn't be surprised to find out its actually Hartzy under that suit lol. His retirement is oddly coincidental!

 

[Paperbagofglory]

Anyone remember the Vancouver riot photo of the couple kissing in the middle of the road? Gritty needs to be photoshopped behind the scenes. Yeah yeah, i can't do it myself.

This is prof Bettman must want the Flyers to win because you never see him taking pictures with mascots of the other teams.

 

[SharksCyclops]

Which one's the mascot?

Been a while since I've done any PS, but here's my contribution:
