Emerald Nuts goes viral with Robert Goulet

A while back, Emerald Nuts had a pretty funny Super Bowl commercial that featured Robert Goulet, which they hosted on YouTube themselves:

Recently my brother sent me a link to a funny site they have up profiling the spoof Goulet’s Snooze Bar, “the perfect afternoon snack to put you to sleep at work”. I think these guys have been listening to Seth Godin, the marketing guru whose mantra is basically “if you’re not doing something totally ridiculous and off the wall, no one is going to notice you”. Their efforts are working too, because here I am, writing on my blog about an Emerald Nuts ad.

Planters: if you’re out there and listening, you’re going to have to get Wayne Newton to become your fake spokesperson and really rip on him hard to become my favorite nut company now.

    the best is the robert goulet crawling on the ceiling… fantastic.

    I wish I could have linked the add that brought me to the emerald nuts site. it was the first one I’ve ever wanted to click, involving a pink shirted, cackling robert goulet skirting across the screen. planters does have to step it up a little, robert goulet kicks mr. peanut’s ass.
