Mr. Peanut will be featured in Planters' Game Day commercial and the iconic brand mascot will be roasted for the sake of comedy. The Game Day spot teaser offers a hint of the laughs to be had with Roastmaster General Jeff Ross and Mr. Peanut.
In a press release, comedian Jeff Ross said, "You'll have to tune in to see if Mr. Peanut can take the jokes or if he finally cracks." Just a few years ago, the world witnessed Mr. Peanut's death and rebirth and now, hopefully, his shell is tougher than ever.
This Game Day commercial unites comedy roasts and game-day snacks (the saltier the better) and brings attention to Planters' Dry Roasted Peanuts, which are ready to be enjoyed in varieties like Sweet & Spicy.
