Gudetama
Gudetama, My Melody, and even Hello Kitty herself don disguises to celebrate the Internet’s love for all-things-cat.
Hello Kitty’s lazy egg pal manifests itself in a shocking way.
Constantly scowling penguin is incapable of service with a smile, but he looks adorably delicious anyway.
Gudetama the lazy egg is now a McFlurry dessert, and we tried the limited-edition item to see just how sweet he can be!
Gudetama, the lovable lazy egg from Sanrio, is again “busy” at work, this time as a limited edition McDonald’s dessert!
Sanrio’s weirdly adorable lazy egg wants to have a soak with you and his 9,999 doppelgangers.
Gudetama, the popular apathetic egg character from Sanrio, is being given the chance to shine, quite literally!
The team at Vox shed light onto the development and popularity of the lovable egg with a bum.
Now you can get a monthly supply of cute featuring characters from Sanrio, Neko Atsume, and Sailor Moon, all delivered straight to your door, no matter how far away you live!
Which Sanrio character is so unmotivated he has to be pushed on a cart? Hint: You probably know egg-xactly which one we’re talking about!
Even Gudetama occasionally cleans up after himself, which is more than we can say about some of our roommates in the past.
