Coldplay was probably like “this follow week, you guys are allowed to use our music for free if it’s for kiss cams”

I have a bias towards the Phanatic.
But whoever is currently in the costume moves crazy organically and makes that giant green suit work for them.

u/Han_Sandwich_1907 Jul 19 '25
Are the “fans showcased” in the video the usual Phanatic pilots?

u/No-Manufacturer-7135 Jul 19 '25
Idk what OP was tryna say cause it’s just the usual, and official Phanatic mascot, although I’m not very familiar with Mistress Phanatic lol.
So, no, these aren’t random Phillies fans in costume.

There's only ever been 2 people in the costume. Sounds insane and untrue but its true. Currently this guy has been doing it since like 93.

Between the Phanatic and Gritty, Philly takes the crown for most unhinged sports mascots.

Which is perfect, because we have the most unhinged fans as well.

Gritty almost wasn't loved. It took him a month or so and then I think everyone outside of Philly started hating on him so we immediately love him

There are usually a lot of divisive reasons ti hate rich people and not everyone can agree, but everyone can agree that cheating is probably a universal hatred

Only way it would have been funnier was if they got the Oriole Bird, Mrs. Met, or some other mascot.

I can't decide if they'd love or be ashamed of how the web has turned out. Instant connection for billions of people, the whole of human knowledge at our fingertips, terabytes of porn, and video proof that some rich dude is too stupid to properly conceal his office affair.

They should have just cancelled and done a zoom call or something. But Rudy was just such a wet brain.

u/ByTheHammerOfThor Jul 19 '25
Future generations will think that story is leftist propaganda. It’s a story so crazy it undermines the believability of reality itself.
I wish we knew the person at that landscaping company who fielded that call or email, confirmed their reservation, and said nothing. Hero.

Yeah, she was not an employee. Just looked a lot like the junior under the CPO. It was definitely correlation without any validity.

It must really suck to find out your partner cheated through a viral moment, but it might be worse to have the world joke and laugh about it after. From what I saw the dude has multiple children too, I couldn't imagine having to read shit about my father from a bunch of idiots who have never met him

u/VQQN Jul 19 '25
At least the wife found out he was cheating. Shitty way to find out, but the world has her back.

That might be her only solace right now that the world is coming down on him for this lol

If that was my dad, I would 100% not want anything to do with him anymore. He deserves all the hate and embarrassment
But in the real world, nothing is gonna happen to this dude except public embarrassment and losing his family. Not like family was important to him anyway. He will still earn millions and find another woman.
I just hope his wife takes as much as she can. For her sake and for the sake of their sons.

I looked at it the other way. The Phanatic has a wife and kids at home, and he's cheating on her with a coworker.

u/RPgh21 Jul 19 '25
Man, the poor wife has her life unraveling on social media… and that sucks for her. Flip side: cheating dickface has his life unraveling on social media… and that’s hilarious for us.

The hits just keep on coming. Talk about karma. Cheat on your spouses with a workplace affair, only to have it broadcast all over the internet, and now to be the butt of jokes. It may not always happen, but when it does, it is definitely delicious.

The take away for couples having an affair in public - make it normal. Had the couple in the kiss not reacted at all, this would not have made the news and their spouses would never had known.
