Whinots Mug

Whinots Mug is a 3D prop element that first began showing up during Whinot Productions transitional period between illustration and film creation.

Early History

Whinots Mug first appeared in September of 2020, on the official Whinot Productions instagram. The design is simple in nature, a large white mug with the phrase “I’D RATHER BE ASLEEP“ written across it in black and red, capitalized text.

Story & Significance

Its never really been clear exactly what Whinot keeps in his mug, or where he keeps his mug for that matter. While he does drink from it, first and foremost, it exists as a “professionalism prop“, to add a layer of seriousness to Whinots brand of nonsense and tomfoolery. Sometimes its filled with what appears to be coffee, other times cocoa, or a blue substance he claims to be Mountain Dew. Drinks however are not the only things Whinot keeps in his mug. At times varieties of M&M’s have been seen inside, as well as mini Reeses, blocks of cheese and at one point, a club sandwich. It also doesn’t appear to matter if the contents within is euclidean or not, as Whinots mug has been known to also include such things as television-static, music, screams and the state of Nebraska.

Whinots Mug stands as a nod to the earliest days of Whinot Productions, when it was little more than the brand for a small artist making illustrations of a grey weirdo.

Design Variants

Although Whinots mug has remained the same, there have been a couple knock offs.
