Modern day mascots are evaluated with shitpostability so I’d say Phryge is a massive success.
Also just in case for the kids he can look kinda cute, bonus points on that..
Fun trivia, it has no gender and it is the first mascot to have a physical handicap shown.
Wasn’t a huge fan at first but he’s really grown on me. Nothing will ever come close to Vancouver’s mascots for me, but also I am both Canadian and was at the optimal age to get really into the mascots in 2010, so there will never be competition. Phryge definitely makes the top 10 for me, maybe even top 5.

There was a French meme circulating last week. It said: “One Phyrge has to walk around Gare de Nord… the other goes jetskiing in Tahiti… life is unfair.” I adore him lol

He looks like the marketing team took a visit to the dope testing lab and came back with all the drugs.
NGL I would have absolutely bought one of those hats if we were there
Definitely nightmare fuel, count me in!
Ordered one yesterday…happy…
He has grown on me. I like the video shorts they have of him on the IOC’s YouTube channel where he’s getting the events wrong.
funni gost
He’s turning into Gritty from the NHL lol
That 3rd photo of him with the gun is meme material!
I also cracked up on the 7th and 9th photo, he’s really getting comfortable with Macron in the latter… and Macron’s face says it all!
I’m reminded of the overqualified Japanese drumming mascot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UYgORr5Qhg
I love this mascot. Silly thing, 😄. I know Paralympic Games are coming up but I’m gonna miss them when it’s over 🙁
i loved whenever tv stations dressed the little la phryge plushies up according to the sport they were narrating or just dressed it up to look cool
I like that he was actually present for once
I think this is the first mascot I can name ever since Izzy in 96.
And that makes it funny what you have it looks like😏
You misssed him on the jet ski!
I was also amused when he rode a jetski in Tahiti

He’s got a Paralympian buddy launching at the games later this month I cannot wait to see what hi jinx he gets up to. Bar has been set
That 7th photo took me by surprise haha

I gotta admit I was sceptical at first, but then I saw the mascots of the previous games. Yeah, I think they did good…
It has the same chaotic-gremlin energy as Chiitan

What are they doing with Teddy though 👀🤣
yeah, they cracked the design

Phryge on a jet ski at surfing is a favorite for me.

PHRYGE FOREVER. He is my favorite.
it’s so stupid looking i love it with my soul
loved the phryge when I was there. my only regret was not getting a photo with the large mascot. it’s hilarious though, and super cute.
