Emerald Nuts Are The Nuttiest

The people behind the Emerald Nut commercials have got to be smoking crack, and I mean that in the best way possible. Their commercials are so incredibly insane that there is no way the people coming up with the ideas are sober. The first round featured extremely odd characters performing even weirder activities and the announcer would explain what was going on and the words would all start with the letters of Emerald Nuts. You know, like: Even Magical Elves Running Around Lazy Donkeys Noisily Uttering Truthful Sayings love emerald nuts. Loony. Then they advanced to the now defunct Robert Goulet spot (RIP) where he comes to your office at 3pm when you are sleepy and ruins your keyboards and messes up your paper work. At face value this could be just another case of using a familiar face to sell a product, except for the coup de grace which shows Robert avoiding detection by someone savvy enough to use the nuts to keep the drowsies at bay by crawling away backwards. On the ceiling. Wacky. And now, the latest version features a woman whose husband refuses to employ said nutty remedy, and instead has the Swiss Family Robinson building tiny little tree forts all over his head while he sleeps in his easy chair. Say What? Seriously, if the brains behind these ads say that they were sober as judges and only inspired by the product they have got to be lying. But just in case I’m gonna get me some of them nuts.
