Brazen footy mascots leave away fan red-faced after targeting him with cheeky jibes about his weight

A PAIR of brazen football mascots left an away fan red-faced after targeting him with cheeky jibes about his weight. 

Happy Harry and Happy Hatty, the mascots for Luton Town, made their appearance at the match against West Bromwich Albion at Kenilworth Road on Friday. 

After seemingly being goaded by a section of fans in the away stand, the mascots opted to single out one bloke in retaliation, making hilarious gestures imitating a round belly, eating and waddling. 

However, it is not the first time the duo has used this tactic, with a Queen’s Park Rangers fan previously being the victim of their wind-up at a game in 2022.

Video shows Happy Harry, who resembles a boy wearing Luton Town’s orange strip, shorts and a straw hat, wandering along the edge of the pitch before pointing at one fan in the stands. 

He moves his hands in a round gesture in front of him, as if rubbing an imaginary belly, before moving his hands up to his mouth as if eating. 

As jeers and chants ring out, fellow mascot Happy Hatty, a girl with pigtails wearing the strip, wanders into view and is egged on by Harry. 

Taking it further, she pretends to waddle and laughs away as the opposition fans try and get their own back with chants and jeers. 

Unfazed though, Harry repeats his gesture and wags his finger in mock disapproval before the pair resume their tour of the pitch.

A video of the ribbing was shared to social media on Sunday with the caption: “Your fella gets rattled by mascots.” 

It has since received over 23,000 likes and more than 130 comments from amused Brits sharing their reactions. 

One said: “That’s hilarious, mascots can be pretty intense especially when they’re in your face.” 

A second commented: “Along with the football match, the mascots also provided a lot of entertainment.” 

Another wrote: “I know it’s a bit of banter but surely they ain’t allowed to insult someone like that.” 

A fourth quipped: “Mascots are like oversized anxiety wrapped in fur – totally unsettling.” 

Another added: “Say what you want but my head would be on f***ing Mars.”
