Hasbro unveils first-ever NERF mascot and fans aren\u2019t sure how to feel NERF \/ Unsplash.com: Kolby MiltonNERF finally has a mascot\u2026 but the internet isn\u2019t really sure how to feel about it, leading to some hilarious reactions and memes online in response to its unusual design. NERF is a timeless brand. Known for its toy dart blasters, water blasters, and even Minecraft-themed crossbows, it\u2019s a multigenerational toy company that\u2019s provided entertainment for players big and small. However, throughout its entire existence, NERF hasn\u2019t ever had a mascot. Sure, the catchphrase \u201cIt\u2019s NERF or nothin’\u201d is pretty cool, but the sheer array of products it has on offer sort of eclipses the need for a primary character representative. That is, until now. Hasbro has just unleashed NERF\u2019s first-ever mascot \u2014 and he\u2019s not what you might expect. The mascot\u2019s name is \u2018Murph,\u2019 and he has his very own catchphrase: \u201cUnleash the play in you.\u201d It looks like Murph is an amorphous humanoid being completely made out of NERF darts, and folks on Twitter aren\u2019t sure how to feel about him \u2014 even going so far as to call him \u201cterrifying.\u201d Hasbro has just introduced, and this is not a joke, their new nightmarish mascot for NERF brand products named “”Murph.”” Murph’s terrifying catchphrase is “”unleash the play in you.”” Here is Murph: pic.twitter.com\/THZYb02sKY \u2014 Alex Zalben (@azalben) June 17, 2022 Alex Zalben, managing editor at Decider, had a pretty hilarious caption for one of the images of Murph circling online: \u201cNo, no, Murph is not hunting you for sport and your delicious human meat, he is merely trying to unleash the play in you.\u201d \u201cno, no, Murph is not hunting you for sport and your delicious human meat, he is merely trying to \ud835\udd9a\ud835\udd93\ud835\udd91\ud835\udd8a\ud835\udd86\ud835\udd98\ud835\udd8d \ud835\udd99\ud835\udd8d\ud835\udd8a \ud835\udd95\ud835\udd91\ud835\udd86\ud835\udd9e \ud835\udd8e\ud835\udd93 \ud835\udd9e\ud835\udd94\ud835\udd9a pic.twitter.com\/2dwRJOdOx8 \u2014 Alex Zalben (@azalben) June 17, 2022 Another user had a hilarious edit of Murph as the Scarlet Witch as seen in \u2018Infinity War,\u2019 and we have to admit that it\u2019s a pretty fitting photoshop job. We don\u2019t understand why they keep creating such elaborate and colorful costumes when they are going to end up hiding them behind too many effects.https:\/\/t.co\/ondpRZC3hp pic.twitter.com\/Xu1bgYSTm0 \u2014 Blockbuster Plus (@BlockbusterPlus) June 17, 2022 Still others are left with some burning questions, such as this Twitter user who can\u2019t seem to figure out if Murph\u2019s darts grow like hair, or if they\u2019re shorn like wool: Look at the different lengths\u2026 Does it grow NERF darts like hair?So\u2026 are the NERF darts we\u2019ve always used are shorn from these creatures like wool? Is Murph the NERF here, unshorn, to save his brethren from the NERF Herders? pic.twitter.com\/eJvQ8gaYDR\u2014 Kevin M Mangan (@kevinmmangan) June 17, 2022 Whatever the case may be, it looks like Murph is here to stay\u2026 whether we\u2019re off-put by him or not. After all, he can\u2019t help it. He\u2019s just covered in NERF darts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
