History Main / GoofySuit

* In an omake of ''Manga/MyNeighborSeki'', this is revealed to be the occupation of Seki's dad. He is considered such a skilled suit actor that he works freelance.

* Described in ''VideoGame/TheSims2''; the starting level of the Athlete career is as the mascot for the [[EverythingsBetterWithLlamas Sim City Llamas]]. Naturally, your Sim wants to get promoted past wearing the Goofy Suit.

* ''LightNovel/InfiniteDendrogram'': Shu Starling is always in a full-body suit to hide his identity, due to his virtual reality character being the exact same as his real-life self. His favourite suit seems to be a bear, but he also has a variety of others.

* The ''VideoGame/Yakuza'' series has two:

* The player can wear these in certain games in the ''Franchise/{{Hitman}}'' franchise. One example: in the mission "The Finish Line" in ''VideoGame/Hitman2'', there are two flamingo mascots of the motorsport arena whose costumes you can wear, which can open an opportunity to get close to your targets. Wearing one of these to assassinate your target, then finding a hidden platform, unlocks a secret extraction where Agent 47 flies off into the sunset by flapping his arms.

* ''VideoGame/RollerCoasterTycoon'' allows you to hire such people.

* One chain of substories in ''VideoGame/{{Yakuza 6}}'' has Kiryu putting on one of these as the “mascot” of Onomichi, Ono Michio. Ono Michio has become something of a RecurringExtra in subsequent ''Yakuza'' games, having a sidequest in both ''VideoGame/YakuzaLikeADragon'' and ''VideoGame/{{Judgment}}'' as well as being a summon in the former once the sidequest is complete.
** ''Like A Dragon'' introduces Kamulop, a bunny mascot Kamurocho made to help promote tourism. One of the vendors Ichiban runs into (the one who sells items and summons in exchange for Tojo Clan crests) is disguised as Kamulop to protect themselves from the Omi Alliance, and in one of ''VideoGame/LostJudgment'''s romance sidequests Yagami befriends a nervous Kamulop performer and even beats up some thugs while dressed as the bunny.

* In ''Fanfic/MikesNewGhostlyFamily'', it was revealed that the reason Nightmare Freddy manifests himself as Dreadbear for the most part in "Curse of Dreadbear" levels of "[[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysVRHelpWanted Freddy Fazbear Virtual Experience]]" is because he was forced to wear the costume [[HumiliationWager as a punishment for losing the game of]] ''TabletopGame/YuGiOh'' against Nightmare Bonnie. Granted, the costume still looks scary and intimidating by human standards, but it's not as scary as his Nightmare Freddy form, and by demon standards, the Dreadbear costume looks downright ridiculous.

* ''Series/TheHollywoodSquares'': On one week late in the Peter Marshall era, a square was occupied by two actors wearing [[WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble]] body suits. Their voices were provided by different actors with microphones offstage. Coincidentally, this was the first week after Paul Lynde left the show.

* On ''Series/ModernFamily'', Hayley finds her old boyfriend Dylan working at Disneyland, first as part of a [[UsefulNotes/BarbershopMusic barbershop quartet]], then as Little John from ''WesternAnimation/RobinHood''. He's fired by the end of the episode, for fighting with the boy Hayley is currently seeing while in costume.

* In one issue of the ''ComicBook/{{Robin|Series}}'' comic book, Robin's friend Ives is working as the mascot at a SuckECheeses. He comes to school so bruised that Robin suspects he is being abused.

* The player can wear these in certain games in the ''Franchise/{{Hitman}}'' franchise. One example: in the mission "The Finish Line" in ''VideoGame/Hitman2'', there are two flamingo mascots of the motorsport arena whose costumes you can wear, which can open an opportunity to get close to your targets.

* In ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'', Peedee Fryman has the job of playing Frybo, the mascot of his father's fry shop. He hates it, but does it [[WellDoneSonGuy to win his father's approval.]] Steven uses Crystal Gem magic to bring the costume to life and let Peedee be free to play, but the costume [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters soon turns monstrous and starts force-feeding people fries]].

* One chain of substories in ''VideoGame/Yakuza6'' has Kiryu putting on one of these as the “mascot” of Onomichi, Ono Michio.

* Georgie from ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid'' works part-time as an amusement park mascot to pay for her {{Meido}} hobby. Unlike most examples, she actually seems to enjoy it.

* In the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'', the town of Big Cabbage is the heart of the brassica-growing monoculture of the Sto Plains. Big Cabbage is so proud of its status that it hosts a theme park dedicated to cabbage in all its forms. There are at least two mascots, people forced to squirm all day in hideously uncomfortable costumes. Billy Brassica, the Cabbage Clown, and his sworn foe, Micky the Maggot.
