| Olympics | 235 | 8 | Dumbest mascots | 11219593 | Wenlock and Mandeville, 2012 Olympics | Wenlock+and+Mandeville%2C+2012+Olympics | Olympics | These one-eyed creatures look like rejects from the “Yo Gabba Gabba” set. But the organizers of the London Olympics think they’re a solid mascot that kids will relate to. "We've talked to lots of children and they don't want cuddly toys. They want something they can interact with and something with a good story behind it,” London organizing chief Sebastian Coe said. That better be a darn good story. |

With Izzy facing heavy criticism after its unveiling following the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, its creators went to work on modifications that included a nose, fewer teeth and longer limbs. | Jamie Squire/Alsport - Getty Images | http://static.foxsports.com/content/fscom/img/2010/05/19/051910-Dumbest-Mascots-Gallery15-JW_20100519183154_600_400.JPG | http://static.foxsports.com/content/fscom/img/2010/05/19/051910-Dumbest-Mascots-Gallery15-JW_20100519183154_70_70.JPG | |

These nondescript critters were chosen as the mascots for the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. John Furlong, CEO of the Vancouver Organizing Committee, said of the mascots: “They needed to represent the people, geography, and spirit of British Columbia and Canada, and they had to personify the values and essence of the 2010 Winter Games . . . . In short, they needed to be many things all at once.” Mission accomplished? | MARK RALSTON/AFP - Getty Images | http://static.foxsports.com/content/fscom/img/2010/05/19/051910-Dumbest-Mascots-Gallery10-JW_20100519182717_600_400.JPG | http://static.foxsports.com/content/fscom/img/2010/05/19/051910-Dumbest-Mascots-Gallery10-JW_20100519182717_70_70.JPG | |

Maybe it's the leotard, but we're skeptical about whether he actually graduated.
