It takes an 88 year old dancing animated peanut to bring together James Brown and the Bay City Rollers. In their new dual "Counting Carbs" / "Saturday Night" tv ad, peanut maker
Planters shows off their venerable icon Mr. Peanut. First he's shown as part of a
low carb diet, using the song "
Hot Pants" by
James Brown. Mr. Peanut then can be seen dancing away to "
Saturday Night" with the
Bay City Rollers. The message being: eat more Planters peanuts to fit into your hot pants for Saturday night?
