Being a mascot is hard. Tell that to the White Bear mascot of Mitsubishi, who took more than a few tumbles when shooting a commercial with the Minnesota Golden Gopher on ice.
Polar bear mascot can’t stop falling in Minnesota Gophers’ car commercial outtakes
Turns out polar bears can’t walk on ice, maybe that’s why they’re going extinct.
It’s slapstick comedy for the ages, as the poor dude keeps on falling in the most cartoon-ish ways possible. The Gopher even slips up a few times, too, uncharacteristic for the mascot in the great state of hockey.
The clip, however, saves the best for last. We won’t spoil it, but it’s quite a back slapper.
