[@jumperdeer3440]

this is a weird panera commercial

[@maddyhannah6214]

Jumperdeer bhahaahahah

[@darksarts4237]

Jumperdeer Popcorn?

[@paradox...]

Panera: "Guys, we wanna sponsor a video. Any ideas?"
Great Big Story: "Hmm, we've got a video coming up about furries..."
Panera: "DONE!"

[@martianally9401]

Mascots and furies are two completely different things. Don’t disrespect

[@StaringAtAScreen]

Okay, so it's an advertisement for Panera... but I still loved a glimpse at the creative process and execution. Looks like it would be such a cool team to work on.

[@likira111]

I didn't realize this was a commercial (or for what) until I saw the comment section, does this mean the comments served the commercials purpose?

[@muhammadakmal2421]

That green hair gal is super cute

[@chrisvela4860]

Boom Shakalaka that's why i came here

And one PTE fan to another can you try a more creative name? I mean no offense whatsoever

[@lovemagicfantastic]

Don’t take the username comment seriously though. I don’t care what you want to go by

[@shayanpaybarah6140]

How do you know that ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@TinyBolts1]

[@cdevine4055]

Booster Alharthy I already did.

[@dooklarue1672]

Booster Alharthy
You hating on furries

[@darksarts4237]

Booster Alharthy So want to buy some furry suits and turned them into a scary looking radioactive survivor who goes to furry con with a real life flame thrower. Want to start a fire?

[@weirdowithnobeirdo2.o533]

Booster Alharthy, If This Is A Joke Than Lol, But If Your Being A Hater Not All Furrys Are Attached To Sexual Things I Wish People Wouldn’t Be So Close Minded About What Other People Want To Do.

[@ajtee721]

Seriously, being a mascot was one of my childhood dreams.

[@Veiiorra]

I bet there's infinity fun with this work

[@lovemagicfantastic]

The proper way to write this sentence is
“I bet there’s infinite fun with this work” or
“There’s an infinity of fun with this work”
Sorry I had to say

[@darksarts4237]

Shiiro Yep. They just said it

[@russvanderlinde8836]

Lyssa looks like marzia

[@lmbarak]

What a fun job to have! These folks all seem super creative and like they'd be fun to work with. And oh, yeah, Panera is yummy!

[@user-xx5dy7dm7u]

I really love Lyssa

[@MrGrayWolf]

Some of those look like straight-up fursuits. The quality is amazing!

[@EgaWoodyWoodfvcker]

Lyssa.. Lyssa.. Lyssa... You just stole my heart...

[@homermakes]

[@amanofcultur9903]

This is seriously the best gbs I've ever watched.

[@sanfransugar]

Lunch by Panera is the most important... Obviously

[@ashkitt7719]

[@crimsonking2908]

[@kzk]

Oh my god?? I love Molly! I’m subscribed to her RUclips channel. I had no idea this is what she did for a living. So neat.

[@robertolopez1537]

[@nio6245]

Glorified fursuit makers

[@crimsonking2908]

[@hinaaqeel1527]

This is the place where odd1sout goes on the weekday

[@OniOmelette]

Molly and lyssa...Have beautiful hair colors...just sayin

[@Luaksz]

I was unsure if this was a normal Great Big Story or an advertisement for Panera. Then I saw that it was.

[@Krzysztofniedzw]

1:19 That costume behind the guy looks sick!

[@futureaests2170]

why are people complaining? the sponsorship is indicated at the beginning.

[@Kdschaak]

Climb the ladder with your Pannera. The woman withe the orange hair is gorgeous.

[@artistjhan]

Yay for Mitchell!

[@xumengguo8781]

The birth of giant furrys

[@springbear452]

Wow!

[@augustpritchett4521]

I have masklophobia, which is a phobia of mascots. This place would be scarier than a haunted house for me!

[@javi447]

Go to a furry convention

[@charactercollaborationstud2065]

I just have the same textures in a Cartoon Toy-Branded Mascot Character, it was just Opportunities for Hasbro Brands in 2020's...

[@ftv2376]

Very ironic to me I was watching a mascot video almost a few mins ago.

[@anoyedwolf1o121]

Jurassic Matthew it was recommended then.

[@jennihaase6803]

fabulous!

[@daniel3030ha]

Good job on the ad link lol,
[%tp_AdID%]&

[@bag0k]

1:31 "There's no one person that could make a whole costume"
Have you heard of fursuit makers?

[@codako7300]

This looks like such a fun job

[@codako7300]

[@iceplaysgames8335]

Great now everytime time I see the clemson tiger mascot I'm gonna think of a furry

[@brooklyn.s739]

I Love Lyssa’s hair!

[@moth4514]

its funny how she tried to ease it into a commercial when it was obvious from the start

[@CatAttackZ33]

"No one person can make a costume by them self" have you ever seen what flurries do for livings?

[@char5285]

I love mascots

[@mcyeet1286]

This is basically a giant fursuit factory if you think about it

[@Aimend]

Human children .... nobody commented on that, huh...

[@cristina.valencia]

K.K.Rina i was going to

[@googleguy-ft8xh]

Oh yeah, definitely MASCOTS get made there

[@anoyedwolf1o121]

Jonah Page your right they do make mascots there,good catch.

[@kokoart7556]

[@lindsaymcwilliams2535]

[@nathanielfreud6340]

Oh God this is the furry factory

[@cqrson8079]

[@IngimundurAO]

Where can I get one !?

[@danielkim5676]

So this is where furries buys their suits

[@dashxxiii]

I think I love Lisa.

[@lime_blues]

I saw this ad and immediately knew there would be furry comments in the comments section

[@redneckdairy]

[@springbear452]

Mascots don't always have to do with furries! Stop calling them furries!

[@TommyTom21]

Springbear452 Shut up furry.

[@anoyedwolf1o121]

Springbear452 thank you

[@aeiou4165]

THEYRE TECHNICALLY FURRIeS

[@BenDover-mh8bs]

Ok furry

[@kikikyanite]

@@aeiou4165 well no, because a furry is someone with some kind of fantasy, but a mascot is just an animal associated with an institution (like the yale bulldogs)

[@babydollclothesdiy2950]

Hi team:))

[@golgiapparatus1428]

so this is how fursuits are made

[@alexwhitten4186]

hmm, I wouldn't really say that you cant make something like a mascot without a team. I've seen lots of people complete stuff like this alone.

[@supervamp78]

Alright show us where they make fursuits

[@casperrabbit7254]

So this is where fursuits are made huh

[@mythi7059]
