Okay, so I finally found out what this thing is called, but does anyone know what the hell it is or where the hell it came from???

 

I'd like to know too.

 

 

My Fast says it was the early developmental model of itself.

 

Thanks for the help Kool Aid.

 

Is there anything that is not in Wikipedia?

Domo-kun is the mascot of Japan's NHK television station, appearing in several short stop-motion sketches. Domo-kun, a strange monster-like creature born from an egg, is short, fuzzy and brown with beady black eyes and an open mouth revealing pointy teeth. He lives in an underground cave with Usajii, a wise old rabbit, who loves to watch TV and drink astringent tea (in Japanese, "Usagi" = rabbit and "Oyaji" = older man). The name "Domo" was acquired during the second episode of his show in which a TV announcer said, "Domo Konnichiwa" (roughly translated to English as "Thanks, hello"). Domo's favorite food is seasoned beef with potatoes, while strongly disliking apples (an unexplained mystery in his DNA). Domo is known to pass gas repeatedly when nervous or in a bad mood.
Domo-kun is recognized by at least 90% of Japanese schoolchildren, who are familiar with his television antics; however, for many people outside Japan, their first experience with Domo-kun may have been a humorous mock "public service announcement" that states "Every time you **********... God kills a kitten," or through various memes popular on humor sites such as Fark.com and b3ta. This is not at all in keeping with Domo's image within Japan itself.
Domo-kun merchandise is quite abundant in Japan, and it is heavily sought by collectors in the United States, as evidenced by its constant presence on eBay. Domo-kun is featured in the Game Boy Advance videogame Domo-Kun no Fushigi Terebi. There is also a fan-made Flash game called "Domo-Kun's Angry Smashfest" that can be viewed here.

Thanks Kobi.


OFFTOPIC

I thought Konnichiwa, was "good morning"?

I live in Okinawa for a year and picked up a few words and Konnichiwa was one of them. I could be wrong of course.

 

Looks kind of like an angry square Hostess chocolate cupcake with arms and legs. Mmmmm, angry cupcake.

 

Lmao. I think it looks like one of those dueling card monsters that has like 3600 attack points. And for my next card I call upon...The Killer Betty Crocker Demon! Attack!

 

Can anyone put this in Engrish laymen's terms?

Is this a Dungeons & Dragons kind of thing? I'm confused... again...

 

Edited becasue I'm stoopid.

 

Gumby with hair and teeth!

 

Not to split hairs but, I think that's more fur than hair.

 

Fur, hair???? It's just the length that dictates the call. To quell the major outcry and massive posts that will rain down upon this thread, I'll give in to the Fur description.
