Noid was charged with kidnapping, aggravated assault, extortion, and possession of a firearm during a crime. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity.[13][14] Noid spent time in a mental institution, but eventually committed suicide in 1995.[15] This incident has been insinuated to have caused Domino's Pizza to discontinue advertising using the Noid as their mascot,[16] though this has been rejected by the company and the advertisers.[17]
Return of the Noid
Domino's brought the Noid back for a limited run of 1,000 T-shirts in December 2009.[18] On May 4, 2011, the Noid was brought back as a promotional figure by Domino's to be used in a campaign on their Facebook page,[19] and made a brief appearance as a stuffed toy at the end of a May 2011 commercial promoting a one-topping pizza deal. The 25th birthday of the Noid mascot was marked with the video game The Noid's Super Pizza Shootout, a tribute to Avoid the Noid.[20]
In June 2016, Spooky Pinball LLC announced the release of their new licensed pinball machine, Domino's Spectacular Pinball Adventure[21] prominently featuring The Noid character.
During 2016, the Noid appeared and was referenced in some Domino's commercials, as part of their USA "Pizza Payback" campaign.
The Noid was seen tattooed on the arm of a winner of shares of Domino's stock, in a commercial aired during the NFL playoffs, January 15, 2017.
In August 2017, a fan made sequel to Yo! Noid was created for the New Jam City 2017 game jam.[22][23]
The Noid can be seen briefly in the background of a 2017 Domino's ad.[24]
...I've literally never heard of this mascot before today.
