Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Did this not backfire for Planters, it exploded on social media yesterday.
Since being diagnosed with Diverticulitis, Mr. Peanut has sadly been dead to me for a while. I miss him.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

And this is why hipsters should not be in charge of ad campaigns. Or cartoons or really anything else.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Comment

^It's a fun ad. It's not like Mr. Peanut had a deep mythology about him, so no harm no foul. It's a fun way to reenergize the brand and get people talking.

^No offense Werewolf, but I really don't see this as being anything that severe. It's a goofy ad that is (probably) an inadvertent nod to the old serial cliffhangers, where the hero seemingly died every other week. He'll show up alive at the Super Bowl.

No nerd rage here. If Thundercats Roar didn't give me nerd rage, this certainly didn't. Though, I do have to admit I wasn't aware my eyes could roll that far back into my head until I saw that commercial. I think I hurt myself.
But, you know, to each their own. I'm just getting really tired of all this "hip," "edgy" and "ironic" stuff.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing.

Actually that commercial cheered me up when i saw it and the resulting tide of RIP tweets were equally funny to me. It's a corporate logo, it's nice that they're making fun of themselves.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

I haven't followed along, but there's gotta be a roasted peanut joke in there somewhere.Comment

Mr. Peanut checks out, yet this annoying idiot lives on. It's a mad world.
You are transparent; I see many things... I see plans within plans.Comment

We'll soon see the emergence of several new Mr Peanuts. BUT... are any of them really the man in the shell?
The edgier Mr Deathnut, who seems to believe the ends justify the means.
Captain Peanut. He believes in the rights and wrongs of yesterday but he has difficulty dealing with the grays of today's peanut allergy-ridden world.
Mrs. Peanut- She fights for equal peanuts for all. And somehow increases Planters sales by 72%
and Peanut Shoe. He's, ummm, just a shoe.
