Mr. Peanut

Mr. Peanut is the advertising logo and mascot of Planters peanuts.

He consists of a drawing of an anthropomorphic peanut in its shell dressed in the formal clothing of an old-fashioned gentleman: a top hat, monocle, white gloves, spats, and a cane.

Since his conception, Mr. Peanut has appeared in many TV commercials as an animated cartoon character.

More recent commercials have shown him computer animated in a real-world setting.

His appearances are often accompanied by an elegant accented narrator, and throughout his extensive television life, Mr. Peanut has rarely spoken.

I read once that Mr. Peanut’s earlier career was marked by a summer performing with the Rockettes. Not sure in what capacity.
