I can't remember if I cried When I read about his widowed bride Something touched me deep inside The day the peanut died so

[@Crisperz]

bye bye planter's number one guy he's a baby now don't ask me how I do not know why them good ol boys, drinking whiskey and rye singin "holy shit the peanut has died" holy shit the peanut has died

[@billgreen8359]

Crisperz sorry I have to correct you, but I think the lyrics are “SCREAMING “holy shit the peanut has died”. 😌.

[@FraserConnell]

I’m sorry for your loss pepino, where u 2 close?

[@sweetpepino1907]

I never met him, but his nuttiness brought me much joy over the years, it was definitely a shock

[@psyducktective]

It’s ok he resurrected as a baby

[@miecer]

"Plot the demise of that posh legume" is just... Such a good sentence.

[@spacetrashpile7199]

“Good. Eat the rich.” Thanks Travis!

[@EverTheFractal]

I'd heard Mr Peanut died but I didn't know they actually had a video of his death Jesus Christ if you wanna change branding why not be like 'oh I'm letting my son take over' not 'he died tragically after a car crash'

[@EverTheFractal]

I'm so in shock I forgot to say great video. That's how flabbergasted I am. I mean seriously what next? A peanut is horribly disfigured in a fire to promote dried roasted peanuts?

[@FraserConnell]

Hmm you might be on to something there

[@cking4869]

Oh don’t worry, they BROUGHT HIM BACK AS A BABY. THEY DIDN’T HAVE THE BALLS TO GO THROUGH WITH THEIR DECISION AND INSTEAD WENT WITH THE WORST, MOST ANNOYING TYPE OF MASCOT. AAAHH.

Oh god imagine if all companies decided to kill off their old mascots instead of just replacing them. I don’t want to live in that world (great vid btw Fraser!)

[@Cheezbuckets]

Now that I’ve read this, I DO want to live in that world! Ronald McDonald dies saving a bunch of children in a tragic restaurant fire and, in his last moments, you see the rest of the forsaken McDonald characters waiting for him in the Great Beyond. Mr Clean horribly chokes to death saving an innocent woman from chlorine gas after she tried cleaning with a mixture of vinegar and bleach from a bad “life hack” she saw online. Bullseye the Target dog just gets shot in the face because why does that poor dog have a bullseye on his face if they’re not intending to rebrand by shooting him? Hey, Target, why did you make your mascot a dog with a literal target over his eye, that’s weird, my dudes! The M&Ms are dispatched in an uncomfortably prolonged vore video, obviously. Tony the Tiger suffers permanent brain damage when he forgot to put on his helmet before sports activities. I need to stop myself before I go on all night, but the possibilities are gloriously endless!

Great video as always!! I really liked the New Yorker comic gag, something about Travis with the simple text of “good. Eat the rich.” Made me laugh for a solid minute

[@carysbebard3690]

Idk if other countries have the Go Compare ads where an opera singing man with a distinctive moustache sings about how the insurance comparison website is his fave. In the UK they've done years worth of ads with the Go Compare Man, and then they decided that a good thing to up their audience engagement with the ads was to have the public vote on whether or not to kill him off? It was ghoulish. (He lived btdubs, not sure how the vote worked out but I hope they realised it was a bad look and just quietly scrapped it)

[@BlackOrderAlchemist]

It's always a bit morbid (but occasionally funny) to let the public vote on whether a character lives or dies. Like in Batman, when it was put to public decision if the current Robin should be killed off in the next issue. The answer was a resounding 'Yes'. And so he died and was replaced by a new guy. Then again, putting anything to a public vote is a crapshoot for marketing or stuff like that. Remember that "name the new Mountain Dew flavor" contest/vote they had a few years ago? Classic and worth a read; but a debacle for the guys running it ;y

[@TheMrVengeance]

@@BlackOrderAlchemist Was it Boaty McBoatface flavour?

[@Myzelfa]

The wildest part of this story was that someone tweeted about wanting to go back in time and save Mr. Peanut. You know EVERY SINGLE PERSON who read that immediately thought, "THAT'S what you want to waste that power on?"

[@notinspectorgadget]

"Good. Eat the rich (and savory)."

[@murmurgamy]

Absolutely love the slo-mo shot of Mr. Peanut falling. Another masterpiece mr. Fraser Connell.

[@JustDaisy]

Hey. That end card? So heckin sweet n' I love it. Thanks, coach.

[@cking4869]

I am fricking mad about this tho. I thought it was interesting for them to kill him at first. You know, change things up for the audience and get some good promotion for yourselves as well. It’s a bold move that could have an unprecedented level of depth and continuity never before seen in commercial history. Then the super bowl ad plays. They brought back Mr. Peanut? As a baby?! So not ONLY DID THEY NOT HAVE THE BALLS TO ACTUALLY GO THROUGH WITH KILLING HIM OFF, THEY ALSO REINCARNATED HIM AS THE MOST ANNOYING MASCOT TROPE OF ALL TIME, RUINING ANY CHANCES THEY HAD AT TELLING A COMPELLING NARRATIVE THROUGH THE MEDIUM OF ADVERTISEMENTS AND STOMPING ON THE ASHES OF THIS IDEA. LONG LIVE THE ALL POWERFUL BABY MASCOT. YOUR MARKETABILITY IS GREAT, BUT YOUR MANIPULATION OF THE MASSES IS EVEN GREATER.

I first heard this episode when I was on the side of a Swedish mountain, near Kiruna, well within the Arctic Circle. It was the middle of winter and late at night, before the travel restrictions came in, and I was waiting to see the Northern Lights. It was like minus four or five. Anyway, pretty much as soon as he says 'so Mr Peanut died' a glow appears above me. I nearly fainted, but that was probably the hypothermia.
