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
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'
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?
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.
"Posh Legume" sounds like the name of a ska band that exclusively makes songs with fun lyrics. Check out their new album "Peanut Man and the Funeral Scam"
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!)
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!
@@Cheezbuckets Others that come to mind: * Charlie Tuna sacrificing himself to feed a poor family in need that needs food; * The Burger King stepping down from his place of power to encourage democracy whilst also going on trial for all the crimes he did in power; *The Playboy Rabbit logo stepping in, and risking his life, to prevent human trafficking while also defending sex workers themselves; *Wendy from Wendy's sacrificing herself to protect her lesbian best friend from another nightclub shooting; *The Geico Gecko starring blank into the camera and telling potential insurance customers not to buy any from sketchy companies that have cartoon mascots and cute slogans, but treat their "customers" (the insured) like garbage (before being taken out by a "rogue" company employee in a suit).
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
Wow, I thought they were kidding. I can't tell which part is funnier: the car crash, Wesley Snipes being there, the tragic sacrifice, or the *funeral which serves as an advertisement for a peanut company*
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?"
@@dottyContrarian i mean it depends. Theres starving man steals loaf of bread and theres teen steals newest ipod and i assure you all jobs travis has had would almost certainly entail the second type but my point was how does that anything have to do with "eat the rich"?
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)
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
I KNOW that the little purple point is Travis’ hairdye but every time I see it my hindbrain is like “KIPPAH! Travis is jewish now and that’s his kippah”
welp, now i've got to learn an instrument so I can put together a band and call it "Posh Legume." Absolutely BRILLIANT Fraser. They are all good and yet some how keep getting better? All the little details are just *chef's kiss*. Great Job, you fine mbmbmbino!!
I appreciate how the two people hanging over the cliff are arguing which of them should fall and Peanut be like ‘imma let go now’ and they essentially yell at him not to do it
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.
you did such a good job syncing the voices to the mouth animation! (i know there's probably a better word for that but i dont know what it is - anyway, great job! 👏👏)
watching ur animation and style improve drastically over the years is so inspiring. I know I’m commenting this on a fucking mr peanut died video but STILL
Astounded that the UNO joke didn’t make it in I remember listening to this episode walking back to my dorm building at like 9 pm with tears in my eyes trying not to look like a crazy person
ohhhh thank you for keeping in the little "no sir" at the end, lmao. it's such a little joke but it caught me off guard bad and I lost it. fucking gorgeous as always homie, thanks for this
I wish you'd included the bit where Griff paints a hypothetical of media outlets reporting on the death of Matt Walsh while saving Wesley Snipes and Mr Peanut. That bit had me howling.
Y’know it’s a weird thing like a very strange thing that he died. but it is refreshing to see them doing SOMETHING with their mascot. unlike other company’s like McDonald’s who had this deep lore of characters and then just slowly… removed them.
I've been watching these animations of yours since you made Sleep Warrior Justin- its been so cool to watch you improve!! Your lip syncing on the boys has gotten so so good lately. Can't wait to see your next one !!!
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.
The way they say “you can watch him die in this video” will not stop attaching itself to my memory of when there were those ISIS execution videos floating around the internet and I cannot physically handle that.
the mr peanut ad caused me to want peanuts which led to me buying a huge bag of unshelled peanuts and now I am going through an entire bag of peanuts every week
Just a reminder that Terry Jones died around the same time as Mr. Peanut and very few people cared because corporations control every aspect of our lives!
SO WHO WANTS TO BUY SOME OVERPRICED PEANUTS?? Our advertising worked, right guys? We're in the public consciousness now, right? Oh god, please pay attention to us. We have so much money, but we want more. Please.
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
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
Crisperz sorry I have to correct you, but I think the lyrics are “SCREAMING “holy shit the peanut has died”. 😌.
He resested as baby peanut
The way Mr. Peanut gently lays his reassuring hand on Wesley Snipes’ before letting go is really something else
Reading this comment before hearing the bit is absolutely incomprehensible and hilarious
"Legume tycoon, gone too soon" needs to be my obituary.
Also that of Augustus Parsons 😉
This is how I found out Mr. Peanut died
I’m sorry for your loss pepino, where u 2 close?
I never met him, but his nuttiness brought me much joy over the years, it was definitely a shock
It’s ok he resurrected as a baby
Vore the rich
*cronch*
"Plot the demise of that posh legume" is just... Such a good sentence.
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'

Don't you remember Carls Jr. Jr., letting his son take over would just get us horny nut commercials

Thank Fraser for Fraser
Thank kory!!

"Y- No sir."

“Good. Eat the rich.” Thanks Travis!
The aggressive amount of sarcasm in this clip was a thing of beauty.
Idk why but the simple text of "Mr Peanut Died" got me good
I watched an official live stream of baby peanut twerking and I think reading the chat was the closest I've ever felt to humanity

You type extremely well for a member of the undead
Well, New Yorker, but yeah; it was my favorite design element here too
I heard about Mr. Peanut dying from watching a thirty-minute video about how obnoxious branded twitter accounts are
Same

"Good. Eat the rich (and savory)."
Absolutely love the slo-mo shot of Mr. Peanut falling. Another masterpiece mr. Fraser Connell.
I made Travis saying "Good. Eat the rich." my lockscreen and only through you was I able to do that and for your service I will be eternally grateful
Should make the audio your notification sound as well.

I love every new animation so much!
The NYT cartoon section was 👩🍳👌🏾😘
These are always cute and no shade, but I always think that travis has a purple yamaka
I always get so excited any time one of your new animatics come out.
Ah yes... simpler times......... back when mr peanut dying was the craziest thing that happened
I thought Mr Peanut dying was the funniest shit and then immediately changed my mind when he turned into Baby Nut
you did such a good job syncing the voices to the mouth animation! (i know there's probably a better word for that but i dont know what it is - anyway, great job! 👏👏)
the nutcracker at the crime scene was *chef kiss *
Ya know what was even more random? The way he came back. LIKE WHAT THE FU-
I was literally wondering where you had gone earlier this morning!!!! Glad to see more from you, hope you’re doing well :D
watching ur animation and style improve drastically over the years is so inspiring. I know I’m commenting this on a fucking mr peanut died video but STILL
I LOVE all the different animation styles you use!! 😍
Let's be honest, Mr. Peanut had it coming.
Well he was selling out all his peanut bretheren and sisteren to be eaten by humans. This should've happened to him long ago.
I love the auto captions for the intro
Travis going full comrade in that style may be my new twitter profile picture
travis says eat the rich
Astounded that the UNO joke didn’t make it in
I remember listening to this episode walking back to my dorm building at like 9 pm with tears in my eyes trying not to look like a crazy person
CDXX - I see what you did there. Nice!
You have improved a lot in animation
ohhhh thank you for keeping in the little "no sir" at the end, lmao. it's such a little joke but it caught me off guard bad and I lost it. fucking gorgeous as always homie, thanks for this

Ssss.....Mmmm...hmm that's dark
Love these roasted exploded peanuts though! Mm mm good.
As someone who works in the peanut industry, we had a good laugh about this whole thing
That thumbnail is what I’m going to see in my nightmares tonight.
travis saying "good. eat the rich." is the slogan of the revolution
today's agenda
1. Organise Brenda's retirement party
2. Plot the demise of that posh legume.
That got me good. These are getting better and better.
Roasted peanut...
“He’s gotta smash outta the grave with a new look” I mean kinda
FRASER YOU REALLY GAVE US A MR PEANUT MOTEL SUICIDE OH YOU SHOULDNT HAVE 💞💞💞
Okay, the boys are funny but "plot the demise of that posh legume" is fucking hilarious.

Thank you for this good work
I love your work!
I needed this today!
oooo that pulling out on the hotel for the last seconds was GOOD
Fraser, the New Yorker-style cartoons sent me.
peanut sacrifice
Not only was Mr. Peanut a posh legume, but he was a posh _geocarpic_ legume!
that FUCKER!
You can watch... the - him die... (sound of old cartoon car starting)
