__TOC__
'''Marshie''' (capital "M", and then "arshie", as he would put it), a large, smiling white marshmallow with a bite taken from his side, is the genuinely alarming [[Fluffy Puff Mascots|mascot]] for [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows]]. He serves as a caustic and slightly absurd satire of any number of mascots hawking products to children. His face seems to have been inspired by that of the [[Wikipedia:Kool-Aid Man|Kool-Aid Man]]. He also shares a resemblance to both the [[Wikipedia:Carl's Jr.|Carl's Jr.]]/[[Wikipedia:Hardee's|Hardee's]] [[Wikipedia:Image:Hardee's.png|star]] and the characters on the [http://www.goldenfluff.com/marsh.htm Elyon kosher marshmallows] bag (in particular, the middle one on the bag). His slogan, "Made from the best stuff", is directly from [[Wikipedia:Snapple|Snapple]]'s slogan "Made from the best stuff on earth".

Marshie has no positive relationships with any H*R characters. [[Homestar Runner]] "hates that freakin' marshmallow," probably because Marshie [[Meet Marshie|took his job as Fluffy Puff pitchman]]. [[Strong Bad]] seemed annoyed when Marshie [[retirement|tried to make a buck or nine off his heart-drooping loss]], and believes Marshie's commercials should be [[winter pool|rated NC-17]] for "Needlessly Creepy times 17". [[Marzipan]] does not fondly remember when her band [[Cool Tapes]] had to [[Baddest of the Bands|perform with Marshie]].

Marshie is infamously - and intentionally - creepy. His commercials have featured non-sequitur rantings, disturbing close-ups, inappropriate sound effects, faintly desperate pleas and even a behind-the-scenes nervous breakdown. He also tends to announce his appearances by uttering hackneyed slang phrases such as "'Sup fools!" and "Oh ''snap''!" in a heavy-handed attempt to convince kids to like him. However, this technique is essentially nullified by Marshie's innate creepiness, leaving the acceptance he seeks safely out of reach.

The use of [[Nibbles]] as a mascot in [[bottom 10]] may be evidence for Marshie's increasing unsuitability as a marshmallow mascot, or at least in specifically promoting Fluffy Puff's bite-sized Nibblers product. Indeed, his breakdown in [[Malloween Commercial]] strongly suggests that he is not satisfied in his role as a mascot.

Beyond his creepy demeanor, it is insinuated that Marshie is not simply disturbing but actually evil. He is named as a "bad guy" in the song "[[Strong Bad is a Bad Guy]]", a vaporized version of Marshie in [[candy product]] cheerily warns that "you can't destroy me!", and in [[winter pool]], [[Gel-arshie]] calls himself "an abomination. Another example of Marshie being evil is when [[Gel-arshie]] acts like a stalker around [[Strong Bad]] in [[8 Bit is Enough]].
