The Interesting World of Peanuts Commercials

One of my favorite guilty pleasures is watching old

commercials

. It's really

interesting

to see how things were announced before. If you look at

commercials

from the 1950s and commercials today, you can see a big difference in how things are advertised. The older commercials tend to be. a much slower pace, while today's commercials tend to be more visual with little to no spoken words, sometimes regardless of watching commercials, no matter the decade, it's always fun. Now another thing I love are comic strips. You may be wondering, what does this have to do with it? Well with commercials When it comes to the timeless classic that is

peanuts

, the series has long been associated with merchandise and advertising, whether selling you insurance or an ice cream maker, Charlie Brown and his friends have been the face of many products and today we are going to take a look at some of the commercials that have featured the main characters over the years.

Jack's party mix is ​​for the guests. Oh my goodness, don't worry, it's so easy now that we can do more in 10 minutes. everywhere in the commercials you would see them in basically anything, while some appeared in companies that did giveaways that involved something like Camp Snoopy. Some companies use the gang for several years. The companies that come to mind when I make

peanuts

in advertising are usually Dolly Madison and Metlife Dolly Madison is a cupcake brand where their claim to fame was their line of zinger candies during the 1960s and into the 1980s, The peanut gang advertised itself with those sugary candies and artery-clogging treats.

Turn off the light and catch them red-handed, okay, now we know who the zinger zapper is, the butler, fool, lucy, that was a completely valid guess. Dolly Madison also sponsored peanut specials for several years alongside big brands like Coca-Cola and McDonald's, but since local press releases and syndicated reruns edited out the sponsor labels, peanut specials with sponsored labels have been discontinued. Having become highly sought after by both peanut fans and lost media enthusiasts, it made sense for the Penis Gang to be Valley Madison's mouthpiece because from the target audience, Candy would be kids and the Peanuts Gang are kids. .

Children like sweet things and peanuts too. I'm sure you're smiling now because I'm buying insurance from Metropolitan, but where will you be if I need you? mentlife, the life insurance company, was also associated with the peanuts who used the cast of characters starting in 1985 to tell you why you should get life insurance through them. The commercials featured Snoopy playing the

-famous metropolitan life insurance representative while other characters explained to him how Metlife cares about the people who buy their insurance, and sometimes Linus interjects into some commercials about why he needs to get a savings bond. instead of having a birthday balloon.

Some friends. His older sister may fund stocks or bonds. A money market or tax-exempt fund. Over time I could have thousands of dollars in my MetLife mutual fund. I remember watching metlife commercials as a kid and seeing snoopy in the commercials and I always thought it was a little strange that snoopy wanted to sell me life insurance, just If you feel out of line, you could argue that kids would sell life insurance. life because you are getting them for your children's future, but if you don't have children or are a child, this may seem a little strange. but it seemed to work because Metlife used peanuts as part of their advertising for 31 years until they dropped the gang in 2016.

This was part of a brand restructuring that Metlife was going through at the time and they felt that peanuts no longer seemed like a viable option. mascot of the insurance giant, but the later commercials with the cast were a bit embarrassing, congratulations ma'am, I just completed your new policy now, please enjoy this music on hold performed by the cutest, sweetest, cutest musician in the

world

. world. Did I mention he's cute? Not supposed to do that, yeah, that kind, although I find the commercials where it shows the gang in the various professions at the company's Metlife cover pretty cute, although Lucy hijacks a car, it's not cool, man, but Those are the commercials most people know when it comes to peanuts today.

I want to take a look at commercials outside the US that use gank because in my diligence searching the internet for anything peanut related, I came across two countries that use gank in very

interesting

advertising. Those commercials happen to be Japan and Brazil. You may think I just threw two darts at a world map in Atlanta about those countries, but when it comes to these two countries, they have quite the history with peanuts and advertising. Let's take a look at Japan first as far as I could. The first forms of advertising with the characters were discovered in 1985, when the Japanese airline Olney Pond Airways used them in advertising and products for its annual ski tour in Hokkaido.

Basically the commercials featured Snoopy doing some sweet ski stunts while Charlie Brown, Lucy and Sally looked in awe or discuss the later commercials also featured peppermint patty and linus the commercials also featured one of the best commercial jingles ever listen The song is known as Yumemite I Love You by singer Junko Hirotani. I couldn't find a full version of the song, but doing a little research I was able to find that this song was written for the ski tour that Solo Pan Airways went on in 1987 and it seems to be pretty dark. . I hope to find a digital copy of the song one day or even a physical version of The Single as this song is quite catchy, Kenwood was a manufacturer of radios and stereo systems and in the 1990s they created the Allura brand of stereo systems.

The Aurora brand's claim to fame was that it could automatically detect the volume of a CD and adjust the equalization. or volume for easy listening, was also intended to be a middle ground for stereo systems in Japan, as Japanese living spaces tend to be small, so space is essential during the execution of the appeal, the brand used Peanuts characters as part of their advertising and in particular used Short as a mascot in 1990, which was when Allura was released. Short had basically become a background character that was often used for jokes involving Snoopy doing some weird things literally to the musical notes of the music. he was still playing, but it made sense for Schroeder to be used since you use a stereo to listen to music and it plays shorter music, so the comb was a good match, but it just wasn't reserved for commercials.

Here it is, in a trade publication that was submitted. to department stores in hopes of selling their products at a time when everything peanuts had simply gained greater focus and it was nice to see a character that had rarely been used for quite some time if you're wondering why What the animation in some of these The commercials are spot on with the peanut specials because these commercials were animated by Bill Melendez's studio, the same studio that brought you classics like Tri-Brown Christmas, Charlie Brown's Easter Beagle, and the Charlie Brown and Snoopy show, but they also animated. several commercials featuring the gang, including Ford Falcon commercials in the late '50s and early '60s, which was the first time Peanuts were animated, although there were some outliers like this scary early CGI Snoopy for Sunwa, a Japanese banking corporation, or this commercial for The video games will be a concert that features the characters as these kinds of puppets that look like things similar to how Disney characters appear at Disneyland, although it's much more disturbing, but we have a commercial more I want to see before continuing with this commercial. explain yourself, snoopy literally just put tons of children's lives at risk by putting them on a runaway bus and loading them into a box of chips because nothing stimulates a dog more than showing up at a fast food chain that eats wallets and clogs arteries.

Good way, Snoopy out of the manslaughter committee, this commercial was used in the promotion to celebrate the 50th anniversary of peanuts and McDonald's Japan ran a promotion to celebrate the said event. Snoopy and the gang continue to appear in commercials and advertising with the most recent bean advertisement, ghana chukka. bars in 2020, a brand of bars from the Korean latte candy company, although they have a significant presence in Japan, it was announced that the bars would be purchased for Japanese mothers on Mother's Day. I could talk all day about Japanese peanut commercials, but for now let's leave Japan and head to the next country I mentioned above, Brazil, when you watch these Brazilian commercials, you'll notice that the animation and art style look a little off, that It is because these commercials that you see were not animated by Meléndez's studio but by the studio of the Brazilian animation house Daniel Messiah.

Daniel Mesias is a Brazilian animator and since 1975 his studio has been making tons of animated commercials for the Warner Nestle Brothers and, of course, the Peanuts Gang. One notable thing he does on his channel is post work-in-progress clips for commercials he has animated, like this snoopy cookie commercial looks cool, but if you read the description, he had something to say about snoopy . This old snoopy ad had a warning from animator bill melendez, producer of the snoopy features and who is in charge of approving snoopy characters in the world daniel snoopy's legs are too long they need to be shortened he was right, of course and the changes were made this is still an old version print made before the cut of the puppy's legs essentially daniel posted a clip from a commercial before the changes were made for The final cut it's always great to see these types of clips work in progress animated projects because it really gives you an idea of ​​the animation process and the small, larger changes that are made before the final cut. mascot of a now defunct bank called comand similar to Metlife man, the penis gang likes to advertise financial things to you, but I think we've saved the worst for last because we're going to take a look at what is easily the worst commercial of this list without further ado here, this is a commercial that is so bad it's almost ridiculous, it has that similar vibe to the East Hills shopping commercial that was low budget, but it has its charm, they were doing the best they could with what they had and I have to give them props because the characters look incredibly off model and it doesn't even feel like they're interacting with the background, it's almost like someone filmed footage of the mall and overlaid animations instead of making it feel like the gang. is interacting with the real world, it's nothing like something like Roger Rabbit, where the characters were animated to make you feel like they were really there, looking deeper into this.

This is a commercial for GV Shopping, a shopping center located in the Brazilian city of Gobernador D. 'o belidaris also seems to be some kind of local commercial, since it doesn't appear to be the Mall of America or anything like that, which means that whoever was in charge of producing the commercial did not obtain the rights to use the penis characters. that's why everyone seems so subdued, in fact I wouldn't even be surprised if United Features Syndicate or Peanuts Worldwide found out about this commercial and forced them all to take it off the air or even canned it before it aired.

Since that can happen too, I could go on and on about peanut commercials, but I think I'd be here all day for that, regardless of whether peanuts and advertising are synonymous with peanuts, comics and special offers, they advertised many products and were even the spokespersons for said product as well and for some people it is possible that this is how they learned about peanuts. Commercials will always be a guilty pleasure of mine because of how quirky, cheesy or interesting they can be, they can be memorable because of how it was advertised when it was. advertised and much more, they are nostalgic for the people who grew up watching these commercials and, thanks to the algorithm, people can re-watch the commercials they grew up with or discover them in breakfast Cheerios when they recharge with a nutritious breakfast. like this one with tasty low sugar cheerios, those will help you stay alert
