Dart Guy Is Back with a Ridiculous Toronto Argonauts Makeover
You remember Dart Guy, right? The paunchy Toronto Maple Leafs fanboy who became Internet famous during the NHL playoffs because of his elaborate face paint and his heart disease-inducing habit. This dude was everywhere for a hot minute.

Well, Dart Guy has returned. And because hockey season is over (and it’s a really slow news day), this time he’s grabbing our attention with some over-the-top Toronto Argonauts frippery. He was at the Argos game over the weekend with some brand new face paint, a freshly dyed beard, and a silly fucking hat.

Leafs wunderkind Mitch Marner also happened to be at the game, and went out of his way to snap a glorious selfie with ole Dart-agnan.

Noticeably absent, however, was Dart Guy’s defining characteristic: the dart! That’s because the Leafs’ de facto mascot has been getting that sweet Nicorette money. Last month, the nicotine replacement brand paid Dart Guy to be their poster boy. Of course, the deal required Dart Guy to hang up the ciggies. (In public, at least!)
Well this is it, #thefinaldart for #Dartguy , I encourage anyone that's ready to #quitwithdartguy #nicorette #DoSomethingAmazing #Sponsored pic.twitter.com/NP49FpqmK3
