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

[–] [email protected] 113 points 2 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...

[–] JASN_DE 42 points 2 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.

[–] bassomitron 22 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 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.

[–] Road_Warrior_10 6 points 2 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.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 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

[–] SassyRamen 9 points 2 months ago

Just slap on a brown cutout mustache

[–] tfw_no_toiletpaper 33 points 2 months ago

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

[–] AnUnusualRelic 5 points 2 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 2 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

[–] [email protected] 93 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 81 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

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

[–] vikingtons 42 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 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 2 months ago

2 for me. 1 took longer to parse.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 months ago (4 children)

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

[–] Chickenstalker 7 points 2 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

[–] Gonzako 24 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Decoy321 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Der Humorless Toaster ist nicht hier fur dein scheisse!

[–] Rhynoplaz 8 points 2 months ago
[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Road_Warrior_10 11 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Maelstrom 19 points 2 months ago
[–] PP_BOY_ 16 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 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?"

[–] Road_Warrior_10 15 points 2 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.

[–] almar_quigley 5 points 2 months ago

HIT? Hitler Is Toaster?

[–] Road_Warrior_10 15 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 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/

2 for sure one has a confusing mouth-stache

2nd one is cuter and funnier

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

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