Gizmo

Posted : 1 year, 9 months ago on 4 August 2022 06:47

Film: Gremlins (1984)

Played by: (voice) Howie Mandel

Distinguishing features: Brown and white fur; meltingly adorable brown eyes; large pointy ears; lovely singing voice; tendency to reproduce if wet.

Sample quote: “Mogwai”

What we’d get him for Christmas: A wetsuit.



Depending on your viewpoint, Gizmo the Mogwai is either the best Christmas present of all time, or the worst. The best, because the little fella is almost unbearably cute, selfless, lovable and loving. The worst, because he’s a true one of a kind, and comes with a set of rules so stifling (you know what they are by now, surely) that failure to adhere to them will unleash an army of tiny, scaly, mischievous mega-bastards who could monopolise the brilliant website, Animals Being Dicks, for months. But it’s Christmas, so we’re going to focus on the good about Gizmo - his fluffiness, his gentleness, his sweet song, his huge, beguiling eyes, his ability to speak English - and we won’t dwell on the sheer weight of existential dread that the li’l fella must feel, knowing that he’ll never mate, that he can’t even go to the toilet without reproducing, and that he’s certain to die alone. Merry Christmas!
