Willie and Drake want to replace their school mascot, Big Yellow, with a wolf, but Big Yellow doesn't like their idea.

When I saw the title &#39;Mascot&#39; I was expecting some kind of dorky &quot;haunted sports stadium&quot; type plot or something, but I was really surprised by just how bizarre this episode was. It wasn&#39;t really scary, but it was funny and a little disturbing. So, Willie and Drake are two geeky 9th graders who are disappointed that high school isn&#39;t what they hoped it would be, and most of all they hate the Yellow Valley High School&#39;s Sesame Street-esque, ugly mascot. It&#39;s name is Big Yellow, it&#39;s a tubby, boogly-eyed monster thing with buck teeth that does out of date dances to the school anthem. Willie goes into action, persuading the school teachers to let him set up a mascot audition and get rid of Big Yellow for good - which Big Yellow isn&#39;t too happy with. Willie and Drake end up choosing a boy in break-dancing werewolf costume, A.K.A. Wolfie, to be the new Yellow Valley High mascot; nevertheless Big Yellow shows up to audition for his title and does his usual weird dancing routine. Willie calls him a freak and tells him to go away. That night, the boy in the Wolfie suit is attacked by Big Yellow in the bushes, and the next day Willie wakes up to find torn up pieces of the Wolfie suit in his bed - and shockingly his parents don&#39;t hear his screaming, which reaches the whole neighborhood! Willie comes to school dragging a large garbage bag with him, in which the torn up Wolfie costume is placed in. Drake is horrified and chickens out from Willie&#39;s plan to de-mask Big Yellow. After school, Willie discovers not only that Big Yellow has an odd collection of yellow-colored items, school memorabilia and barrels of biohazardous chemicals, but that there doesn&#39;t seem to be a person in the Big Yellow costume... it may have a life of its own. The characters were very dramatic in a sort of fake, over-the-top way in this episode, but it was incredibly funny. I wish the characters would put down their damned cell phones for five minutes though, my god, why are they such texting addicts? Talk about unrealistic! I&#39;m eighteen and there&#39;s maybe 2 of the kids in my class who actually even have an I-Phone. I think The Hub signed an advertising deal with the devil (Apple Inc.) or something. This episode has so many unanswered questions too. Why does Big Yellow have barrels of biohazardous waste in his dressing room? Why are the teachers all so oblivious? Will Willie and Wolfie ever get rescued? This episode really needs a sequel!

Mascot

I just recently started rewatching this show and I shatter with this episode. I remember this being one of the scariest and one my favorite episodes when I was a kid. The story is scary and the villain big yellow is pure genius. A creepy ass mascot. I have never seen a mascot look like that before but they did a great job designing it. Also it&#39;s random dancing segments is scary and a good trait I think that they gave big yellow. Also the ending to this episode is one of the scariest big yellow eats one of the kids. Then the scene when his friend calls him and it&#39;s ringing inside big yellow is great. There is also a lot of good set pieces. Like when big yellow looks like he&#39;s about to catch one of the kids but then starts dancing. Also the setting is scary. Big yellow hide out is creepy in the basement of the school. Even though idk how you don&#39;t notice someone living in the basement. But I have no cons with this episode really and it&#39;s one of the best in my opinion.

A good story, good villain and ( most importantly) scary.
