sjbooher: Love. No, it’s not time for a serious breakfast! It’s time for NANERPUS!!!! So good. It’s Naaaaaaaaaaaaaa-nerpus! Best of the night. A+.
jtherkal: Great is right. At first I thought they messed up and used the wrong voice for Nanerpus–that it should sound more like a cartoon. But since this is so short, I’ve watched it about 60 times and now I love it. Banana, nana, nanar, nanerpus. A.
And if you can’t get enough Nanerpus, check this out:
sjbooher: Booorrrrrrrr-ing. Boring and not funny. Mob themes are so overused at this point that it is extremely difficult to come up with something with originality. On top of that, this spot pales in comparison to the other Denny’s one, which was one of the best ads of the night. Nanerpus! The lone redeeming quality is the announcement of the free Grand Slam, which is an amazing promotion. D.
jtherkal: Boring? Nah. I can’t argue with mob themes being played out, but when that waitress draws the whipped cream face on the pancakes–it’s comedy! I love it! (begin Brian Fellows voice) That face is silly. (/Brian Fellows voice) Unfortunately, this should have been an ad for whipped cream, how it can make every situation fun or whatever. Instead, they roundabout you with some Denny’s stuff about having a serious breakfast. I don’t really think of Denny’s as serious anything. Not with Moons Over My Hammy. B-.
sjbooher: Try the Denny’s just off the 5 in the hidden California oil country. DEFINITELY serious breakfast.
jtherkal: At first I liked the King, his creepy silence and smiling face. And I still want to like him, but for some reason this just doesn’t do it for me. Part of the charm of the initial King ads was the voiceover selling “eggs and meat and cheese…and meat and cheese.” They made it sound and look good. The problem here could be that the product looks like absolute garbage. Smokey cheese sauce? I imagine that slides right through you and comes out looking eerily the same as it went in. That is NOT the breakfast of tomorrow. Nothing about this brings me joy. D+.
sjbooher: I love that King and his freaky hands. It is a great moment in time when the King gives us that jazz hands type motion after Mrs. Future comments on his hands. So weird it is good. The cheese sauce definitely scares me, but this ain’t irateproducts.com. Maybe they could have just glossed over the sauce a little more, or maybe THAT is the greatest drawing point. This is an overweight country, after all. A.
