    (2003- )
    Spokesdermatophyte for the antifungal drug Lamisil
    Ads developed by W!ld Brain

Why he might be annoying:

    He looks like Pikachu's evil twin.
    The bit in the commercial where he lifts up a toenail may be the creepiest thing I have ever seen on TV.
    And the creaky door sound effect dubbed over the scene ain't helping.
    In an MSNBC poll, he beat out the Quizno Spongmonkeys for worst ad of the year (2003).
    The drug he shills for is expensive and rarely covered by insurance.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He informs people that if they have yellow toenails, it is not a mere cosmetic problem: It is a sign that their toes have been possessed by tiny demons -- er, infected by a fungus. (Sorry, got carried away for a moment.)
    He has 114 MySpace friends -- including, appropriately enough, the only marginally less creepy Burger King.
    He did not make Time magazine's '10 Creepiest Product Mascots' list, suggesting that it is possible with intense therapy to erase all memory of him. (At least that's the only explanation I can come up for his omission.)
