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

[–] ShareMySims 112 points 5 days 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.

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 5 days 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 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (4 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] 1 points 3 days ago

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

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 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days 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 5 days ago

Just slap on a brown cutout mustache

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

I agree. This is the best.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 days ago

This is how I keep seeing option 1 where the longer line is a chin/fat roll 😅

One is them is angry, the other is furherious

Toaster 1 looks like Hitler. Don't use toaster 1.

[–] Mnemnosyne 9 points 4 days ago

Counterpoint: toaster 1 looks like Hitler. Use toaster 1.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 days ago (1 children)

#1 only if you want a Hitler moustache. I prefer #2

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Charlie Chaplin got done dirty. He was rocking that stache for decades earlier.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Some of Hitler's bodyguards said that Hitler was a fan of Chaplin. There's speculation (but not evidence) that he borrowed it because he liked Chaplin

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

I always heard that it was a common style for the working class, and Hitler was trying to ingratiate himself to them.

[–] fsxylo 92 points 5 days ago

Number 2. Unless you firmly believe there's no such thing as bad publicity.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 4 days ago (4 children)

Is the Toaster related to Hitler somehow? If not then the latter.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

Nah. Hitler would be an oven.

I think the second one. Assuming the middle bit is a nose, fewer details make for better deadpan toaster expression

[–] [email protected] 38 points 5 days ago

2 for me. 1 took longer to parse.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago
[–] [email protected] 25 points 5 days ago

I can’t believe this isn’t a joke

[–] [email protected] 23 points 5 days ago

The second. The nose-mustache of the first is confusing.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 5 days ago (2 children)

2, but make him look more indifferent and less angry I think.

Oh no, the Hitler particles have crossed the human toaster barrier.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

Number 1 but the upper line is the mouth and the lower line is the chin.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Der Humorless Toaster ist nicht hier fur dein scheisse!

Depending on what you're going for, 1 and give them a German accent. Otherwise 2.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 days ago

Wasn't going for German that's for sure, although...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

#2 because it allows you to later give them a mustache (#1), which is funny but the toaster isn't amused.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Definitely #1. But you can't ever make any reference to it looking like Big H in the game. Just make it so people say "... is that supposed to be Hitler?"

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Thank you, yeah was going for more of a Ron Swanson, but now I totally see how people can see The Notorious H.I.T.

For anyone curious, the game I'm working on is kind of inspired by The Stanley Parable, and you can check it out on Steam, maybe even wishlist (it would help a lot) : https://store.steampowered.com/app/2336120/Do_Not_Press_The_Button_To_Delete_The_Multiverse/

Ever seen Red Dwarf? There was a talking toaster in that.

What is the personality of the toaster?

One looks like your friend's dad when he comes home and finds everyone has not only left on all the lights in the house but have also left the fridge open

Other one looks like a guy in early 20s that is on a bus and some fucker is doom scrolling tiktok loud without headphones

I'd say they're both great but you gotta decide what kind of cranky toaster you're going with

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago
[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

Make the upper one more mustache-y by making the stache longer than the lips and bend it downwards on the outside.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

#1 looks like JJ Jameson - You know, Peter Parker's boss?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 days ago

2 for sure one has a confusing mouth-stache

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

Get it to the corners of the lips and thick, you got a Tom Selleck, just around the edge, you have a Ron Swanson, 2cm past, you're into Fu Manchu territory
