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

[–] ShareMySims 113 points 3 months 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 3 months 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 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months 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 3 months ago (2 children)

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

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 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months 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 3 months 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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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

I agree. This is the best.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months 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

[–] fsxylo 93 points 3 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 81 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Mnemnosyne 9 points 3 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 42 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 38 points 3 months ago

2 for me. 1 took longer to parse.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 3 months ago (4 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Nah. Hitler would be an oven.

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

I can’t believe this isn’t a joke

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months 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

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

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Der Humorless Toaster ist nicht hier fur dein scheisse!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago
[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago
[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months 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 3 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

HIT? Hitler Is Toaster?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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/

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago

2 for sure one has a confusing mouth-stache

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago
[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

Who let out 426?? I thought I was supposed to be in a windowless room!

(/j)

referenceICYMI, the joke is about SCP-426

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

2nd one is cuter and funnier

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months 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] 5 points 3 months ago

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