Editing Just for Laughs (section)

==Mascot==
Victor is the [[mascot]] and [[logo]] for the [[comedy festival]] Just for Laughs. It was designed by [[Vittorio Fiorucci]] of the Canadian Design Resource company.

When the artist first created the mascot, the character’s horns were coloured blue. However, when Vittorio’s blue marker had run out of shades of blue, the mascot’s horns became red.

His catchphrase, as heard at the end of most Just for Laughs television broadcasts ever since the inception, is "Mommy, it’s over!"

The image was inspired by a [[monster]] that preys on Montreal.<ref>{{cite web |author=Todd Falkowsky |url=http://www.canadiandesignresource.ca/officialgallery/logo/victor-just-for-laughs-logomascot/ |title=The CANADIAN DESIGN RESOURCE » "Victor" Just For Laughs Logo/Mascot |publisher=Canadiandesignresource.ca |date=2009-08-10 |access-date=2010-07-30 |archive-date=2010-12-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101222163952/http://www.canadiandesignresource.ca/officialgallery/logo/victor-just-for-laughs-logomascot/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The logo can be seen across the world on posters, T-shirts, event site markers, costumes, and inflatables.

In 2005, the character was redesigned by animator [[Alan Best (filmmaker)|Alan Best]] at the behest of advertising agency Cossette as part of a comprehensive graphic overhaul of the Just For Laughs brand.  
In 2007, "Rose" was created, a character to be the wife of Victor.<ref name=":2">{{cite web |url=http://www.showbizz.net/articles/20080625113319/grand_charivarir_juste_pour_rire_retour_rose_entrevue.html |title=Le Grand Charivarir de Juste pour rire: le retour de Rose (entrevue) - Showbizz québécois |publisher=Showbizz.net |date=2008-06-25 |access-date=2010-07-30 |archive-date=2009-06-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090604015130/http://www.showbizz.net/articles/20080625113319/grand_charivarir_juste_pour_rire_retour_rose_entrevue.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
