This is the weirdest/dumbest advertising campaign I can remember seeing in quite a while. Yeah... IHoB is the last odd one I can think of but that didn't want us to mourn a "spokesman"

A classmate in high school, maybe sophomore year, decided to dress as Mr. Peanut for Halloween. I don't know why a sophomore in high school in 2002 would choose Mr. Peanut, but he did. Did he buy a Mr. Peanut costume? No, perhaps he was feeling crafty or perhaps none was available. He came in a homemade Mr. Peanut costume. The hat and monocle were not noteworthy, but the peanut shell body was.....unfortunate looking. First, instead of yellow, the bulk of the body was flesh colored. A flesh colored sack. The texture of the peanut was done on the costume in black piping. The black piping was not secured well to the flesh colored sack and popped off it in all directions, resembling hair. A hairy, flesh colored sack. He was "Nutsack" for the rest of high school. I find this sadder than the actual death of Mr. Peanut.

We'll see a "Reign of the Peanuts" storyline with a more violent Mr. Peanut, a teen Mr. Peanut, a guy in an armored Mr. Peanut suit, and a Cyborg Mr. Peanut, until the original comes back with a hip new look for 2020.

The people behind the ad campaign said they got the idea when they saw how people on social media reacted to the end of End Game. because they're exactly the same right?

Mr. Peanut comes back with a sweet mullet? I'm sold.

It was either that or one day succumbing to the human allergy he had when someone accidentally gave him a cookie made with people.

Since Iron Man dying in the MCU meant the death of the character in the whole conglomerate. Right...

I want the Super Bowl commercial this is most likely connected with to involve Mr. Peanut rising from the fire like a daggone Terminator to introduce Flamin' Hot or Roasted nuts.

I just cannot get over their logic here. Like who sees Mr. f***ing Peanut and is like "you know a tenet of who this peanut mascot character is is that he always puts others first. He really is like Iron Man."

He died so that Wesley Snipes and Matt Walsh could live. UCB fans will forever be grateful.

"Mr Peanut's funeral cancelled because Kobe Bryant died in a helicopter crash" is going to be hard to top for unexpected headline of the year
