Animation: Meet Modern Toss' bizarre and brilliant Business Mouse

Date

EDITOR’S NOTE: This post was part of our It’s Mice That takeover on April Fools’ Day 2014. You can read our explanation post here or peruse the mice archive here.

Business Mouse is one of a whole host of characters invented by funny smut-dealers and cartoonists Modern Toss. He’s is an angry, furrow-browed little shit of a mouse that spends his time making big business and screwing people over for cold hard cash. Take the guys from Dragon’s Den, make them smoke one million Malboro Reds, mix them with Alan Sugar and then make it have sex with Danger Mouse and that is Business Mouse.

With characters that range from mildly offensive parodies of west country folk to just very, very annoying office types, there’s an underlying feeling that although, yes, you’re watching an animation of a pissed off business-headed mouse – the things he’s saying and doing aren’t that different to most of the people you share carpet space with in your own office. Funny that. Look out for some fantastic cameo voiceovers from Julie Burchill in the videos below.
