Sure, for instance, when I buy Raid: Shadow Legends, I am funneling money into a mafia front that launders money from trans-border canned corn smuggling. So how am I to convince myself that by playing the best dark fantasy game for two hundred years and starting with twenty thousand silver, that I am not actively congratulating and encouraging all of these horrible things? The answer is that I probably never think about these issues.

Here in Chile we managed to pass a law that bans mascots in food. It also bans toys and other such incentives UNLESS the food pass a certain Standard of healthy-ness. So McDonals now has to sell completely flavorless (because no salt) burgers and (horribly dry) fruit and juice instead of fries and soda for the happy meal in order to keep selling the toys alongside it. (It barely sells among kids).

I have zero idea where you’ve gotten that idea. I spent 3 months in Santiago visiting my sister who lives there this past summer, and McDonalds in Chile is 1000% better than US McDonald’s.

[@genderender]

I think Quinton kinda rings true a lot of what I believe advertising to be. The scifi novel the Space Merchants delves a lot in to advertising in a dystopian setting and how advertising isn't about convincing consumers that your product is better, but that your product needs to remain in the consumers mind. If given the choice, the consumer will go for the one they're familiar with, not the one that is better. That's why mascots work so well. People remember the plantation owner Colonel Sanders but don't remember the Popeye's lady. Advertising isn't about the product at all, its about being remembered better

[@x999uuu1]

A little nitpick, but colonel Sanders wasn't a plantation owner. He was born in 1890 and did stuff like railroad worker and insurance before doing chicken.

[@genderender]

x999uuu1 I brought it up because he’s meant to have the same connotation to one. Idk what the actual colonel was like, but KFC tries really hard to bring the same energy as plantation owner

He sounds so unenthusiastic about the raid sponsor and I love it

That McDonald's shit really worked. I STILL get the nostalgia bug just driving by a McDonald's. See, I was a bad ass kid. Just being real. I was the girl teachers were warned about. Phone calls to my mom every day, getting sent home, etc. So my parents would bribe me with a Happy Meal if I behaved in school. It worked. I remember getting one of those little pull back Minnie Mouse cars in my Meal. Lmiao.

This is probably the best video essay I've seen in a while, such an amazing blend of real thought-provoking concepts and hilarious takedowns of shitty ads

this criticism of capitalism is brought to you by: the worst of capitalism... I thought it was a joke at first, but the link is real

[@connorbanepoop]

zenn22 If you think fucking raid shadow legends is the worst of capitalism then you’ve been brainwashed by the ANGERY KZbin gamers. Raid is pretty tame as far as late capitalism goes.

To be fair, I would choose Raid Shadow Legends over Chairman Mao

I thought the title was Mr. Peanutbutter. And I was prepared to get angry. I got angry at Raid shadow legends instead.

23:20 This reads like a JFK documentary. "He rounded the corner, at the crack of dawn, in front of Macy's. It was New York, it was a crowd of 3.5 million people. Then the dance heard 'round the world. Mr. Peanut dabbed.

The entirety of r/cringeanarchy < the Mr. Peanut dabbing article wtf

I love how even the writer of the article clearly hated their job that day. "Anthropomorphic Legume"

I have to say, I really wasn't sure what to expect at all when I clicked on this video. Thankfully, what you've managed to do with this concept/idea/topic is way beyond anything I could have possibly expected. This is an exceptionally researched, powerfully voiced, and genuinely interesting mini-documentary and I think it stands as a testament to why you deserve a respected place on this platform. Keep following your unique voice, cause you're just getting better and better. Cheers!

In this quarantine your videos have given me a lot of joy, Quinton. I have rewatched many and enjoyed them every time but this one is easily one of your best. Thank you!

One of the many great things about Dexter’s Laboratory is how they did timeless parodies of several mascots and brands. Of course, it was partially out of wanting to make a story about them without advertising them, but it also did commentary. For example: There was an entire episode about a sleazy Chuck E. Cheese’s-type that ends up portraying the people behind it literally kidnapping Dexter and pursuing enslaving him for his knowledge. And it doesn’t lead to some kind of uprising or societal backlash towards “Chubby Cheese” at all; after Dee Dee saves Dexter from the place as they leave, it’s still just the two of them that know it, and the business keeps shilling as usual. It’s even named-dropped in Season 4 Episode 13a(12a on HBO Max) casually as a location marker. There was a big running theme with branded franchises, too, namely superhero comics/figures, My Little Pony, Barbie, Mr. T, Star Trek, etc. If only they jabbed at Mr. Peanut, hehe.

[@Malkmusianful]

still planning on writing my "death of mr. peanut" opera inspired by the works of john adams and alice goodman also, nice b-roll at krogé

9:40 Actually, I think Baby Planters resembles Groot more than Baby Yoda. Although it's definitely not a coincidence that they have chosen this route after The Mandalorian's success.

In other words, Mr. Peanut is the most true brand mascot in regards to what he truly represents. He is greed, he is gluttony, and he is the upper 1%, the textbook definition of a White-collared Criminal. He has no shame, as he doesn't need it (in his little, crusty, monocled eyes at least). When it comes right down to it, Mr. Peanut doesn't try to be someone he's not. To Mr. Peanut, putting on a facade to sell a product is "something pathetic, that only the poor, underprivileged working class would resort to." He sells only The Finest of Peanuts, a Snack of Luxary, and is willing to give us lower-class consumers a taste of what the Big Wigs munch on... for a price, of course.
