Benny, the Bulls’ mascot, had a pinata-swinging, popcorn-throwing birthday rager

Lit. As. Hell.

by Matt Ellentuck

The Chicago Bulls’ mascot, Benny, celebrated his birthday during his team’s game against the Bucks on Sunday afternoon, and wooo boy it was TURNT.

Benny got his own live piñata during a bizarrely narrated skit. And he got a bat to chase it around the arena!

(Sorry, piñata.)

And as if that wasn’t enough, please watch Benny and his squad roll up with pounds of popcorn and pour it all over fans. Then the pals danced seductively in unison.

My goodness, I am so jealous I didn’t get an invite to Benny’s rager. What a fun and totally normal day.

Happy Birthday Benny!
