    What’s the first supposed to be, Adolf Toastler?

        The house looks more like Jamie Hyneman with his barret to me.

          If I have to look the guy up, he’s not well known enough to overtake the Hitler resemblance lol

      Upvote for Hitler. OP, I don’t know if intended, but a certain German politician was the first thing coming to mind

      The mustache is much too wide. I don’t know why everyone sees Hitler.

        Hitler’s mustache was initially longer, however there was a decision to trim it. There are various theories as to why it was trimmed and shaped into the toothbrush as we recognise it for today.

      Oh, man… sorry it’s coming off like that. Since it’s called the Humorless Toaster, the main inspiration is Ron Swanson. At least that’s what I was going for…

        Ah. I think the moustache needs to be wider for that. Also, a label might be in order. Ron Toasterson or something.

          Agreed, wider and thicker with maybe a wavy/ ridge texture on the bottom half of the mustache and slight rounding/flaring on the sides that narrows to the top.

          Feels like that’s a good reference pic for OP.

          Edit:

          But I do prefer #2 more. Like others have said, it’s simpler and easier to tell the expression.

              Mix the two and use a trapezoidal shape for the mouth, perhaps?

        Have you tried a design where it has a mustache for a mouth? As another lemming described, wider and wavy at the bottom. And then it can move up and down when it talks?

        Edit: quick and dirty mockup. This would be my vote

    I think the second one. Assuming the middle bit is a nose, fewer details make for better deadpan toaster expression

    #2 because it allows you to later give them a mustache (#1), which is funny but the toaster isn’t amused.

    Number 2. Unless you firmly believe there’s no such thing as bad publicity.

    Definitely #1. But you can’t ever make any reference to it looking like Big H in the game. Just make it so people say “… is that supposed to be Hitler?”

    Depending on what you’re going for, 1 and give them a German accent. Otherwise 2.

    For anyone curious, the game I’m working on is kind of inspired by The Stanley Parable, and you can check it out on Steam, maybe even wishlist (it would help a lot) : https://store.steampowered.com/app/2336120/Do_Not_Press_The_Button_To_Delete_The_Multiverse/

    1. But give them a super stereotypical American accent and make unpromted references to how American they are.
