What's the first supposed to be, Adolf Toastler?

[–] ShareMySims 113 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Good friend of Kettle Hitler

And they sit next to each other on the kitchen counter at Führer house

The house looks more like Jamie Hyneman with his barret to me.

If I have to look the guy up, he's not well known enough to overtake the Hitler resemblance lol

This guy clearly didn't watch mythbusters in the mid 2000s

I thought Jamie hyneman was a household name.
How old are you?

Oh, man... sorry it's coming off like that. Since it's called the Humorless Toaster, the main inspiration is Ron Swanson. At least that's what I was going for...

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ah. I think the moustache needs to be wider for that. Also, a label might be in order. Ron Toasterson or something.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Agreed, wider and thicker with maybe a wavy/ ridge texture on the bottom half of the mustache and slight rounding/flaring on the sides that narrows to the top.

Feels like that's a good reference pic for OP.

Edit:

But I do prefer #2 more. Like others have said, it's simpler and easier to tell the expression.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It's the perfect pic, thank you. I admit I was working from memory

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Mix the two and use a trapezoidal shape for the mouth, perhaps?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Keep the stasch and call the character "Der humorlose Toaster".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I want to start a fanfic rumor that Ron is related to Ricky from Trailer Park Boys. Lol

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago

Yeah you got the mustache in that realm. I don't think it was intentional, but Hitler really did ruin the shortened mustache look.

[–] Timecircleline 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Have you tried a design where it has a mustache for a mouth? As another lemming described, wider and wavy at the bottom. And then it can move up and down when it talks?

Edit: quick and dirty mockup. This would be my vote

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Just slap on a brown cutout mustache

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 month ago

Upvote for Hitler. OP, I don't know if intended, but a certain German politician was the first thing coming to mind

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The mustache is much too wide. I don't know why everyone sees Hitler.

[–] JadenSmith 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Hitler's mustache was initially longer, however there was a decision to trim it. There are various theories as to why it was trimmed and shaped into the toothbrush as we recognise it for today.

How popular do you have to be to have people make theories about why you trimmed your moustache
