Ultimate HH compilation

Learn the lore behind the Internet's most famous bankrupted appliance chain mascot.
This is not every ad HH has been in. The website for the people behind the campaign, Hinge, mentions there are at least 34 TV spots featuring HH. Some have presumably never been uploaded online; others have been online, but lost due to people privating or deleting videos. If anyone has more ads not seen in this compilation, let me know, and if I get enough I'll make a second part.
Some fun facts about HH:
- HH was created by Zimmerman Advertising and Hinge Digital.
- HH is voiced by Wally Wilbert, a voice actor and memorabilia collector who has done work in many other ads as well as TV shows and other stuffs.
- According to the old hhgregg website, HH was used in ads between early 2009 and May of 2011.
- Initial reaction to HH was negative, with people complaining about how annoying he was, especially regarding the Red Tag Sale and Christmas In July ads. This probably still holds true.
- The images printed on HH are slightly inconsistent - earlier ads use graphics of a TV with a baseball theme, while later ads use TVs showing an image of an hhgregg building.
- The song used in some of the ads, as well as various other hhgregg ads, is a shortened version of "Love Generation" by Bob Sinclair.
- Several "lost" ads featuring HH include an American Football themed one and an After Thanksgivings Day ad.

Can I just say that I genuinely like HH? Legitimately one of the best company mascots ever, just sad he's associated with a dead company and has reached the unfortunate realm of meme status. His design, while a bit weird, makes sense. It's simple, recognisable and pleasant on the eyes. And a price guide catalogue as his body? I actually love that! Plus he's just adorkable.

[@dedmemelordmemelord9971]

WhOoO watch the tv's

[@ketchupwater06]

Even something to add, HH isn't that cocky, or too preachy about how great his store is. Plus, HH sounds like he's always going to be there to help you with prices, and he always sounds like a good entertaining mascot!

[@maverickREAL]

@@ketchupwater06 Yeah, his personality and voice make him seem like he could be your drinking buddy or something. Wally Wingert did a good job.

“DUDE WHAT THE FUCK THATS MY BODY HDIAGSJAAAYDUHAY”

[@yellowbananago]

@Mac Cheezy Huh, so maybe he can possess items, what if he possessed like, a blob of Jell-o

[@Pimpeaux]

@Mac Cheezy You're looking at it all wrong. HHGregg is clearly capable of contorting the pamphlet at will--almost as if it's an extension of the self. He's even using it to convey body language. I feel like adept telekinesis can only get you so far in that respect. Plus, he's never seen bending anything else to his will. By that logic, I have no great reason to believe that HHGregg's left foot plays any less significant of a role in defining his composure than the pamphlet. To that end, if he has a body in homeostasis, it logically follows that he can also fall victim to mortal limitations. If that paper is corrupted, bent, crinkled, folded, doused, or burned, or otherwise falls victim to any permanent damage, that's obviously going to have an effect on the integrity of HHGregg. The extent of severe pain to which origami might cause HHGregg is up for scholarly debate, but the fact of the matter remains that it would leave a permanent mark on his body--a scar if you will. Of course, when compared to more irreversible blights like burning or soaking, creases can technically be unfolded. The marks would remain, and the paper/ink would certainly degrade as a result of the friction, but it should only mean a mere recovery phase for HHGregg. I posit that he would be in severe pain--even putting up fierce resistance--at the notion of being folded into origami. With that said, given how malleable he clearly seems to be, there's little reason to believe that it'd be a pain greater than the human equivalent of getting blisters. With that said, his general flexibility leads me to doubt that he'd ever find himself in that situation to begin with. I suppose there's the distinct possibility that he could be sedated, but I don't exactly know how that would work considering he doesn't have any enzymes or receptors. Either way, he'd feel pain hypothetically speaking.
