As reported by Digg, around two weeks ago, a new YouTube channel appeared, dubbed “Tony is Back!” The channel has several commercial videos on view that might not be around for too long, if Kellogg’s gets their way.
The cereal giant has managed to get their Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts removed, but so far hasn’t had any luck getting rid of the Tony the Tiger website, or the YouTube account and the viral new hashtag, #TonyIsBack.
On the Tony the Tiger website, we are told that Tony wants to help people today, just like he did in the past. According to the website, “Tony” found 10 people who were children when the first Frosted Flake commercials came out way back when and wanted to know what was happening in their lives.
It seems things are now much different from the past and Tony produced three new commercials, each possibly hitting on a current theme of every day life today and also, just maybe, getting a knock at the giant cereal company, Kellogg’s, themselves.
In the first commercial, Tony “helps” a prostitute who is having problems with her pimp and gets her back on the road, so to speak, with a “complete healthy breakfast” of his vitamin-packed Frosted Flakes to start her day. Naturally after eating the “Grrrrreat!” cereal, everything goes much better for her.
In the second video, and possibly having a knock at the constant media reports of police abuse, Tony the Tiger helps an abusive cop, by giving him a complete healthy breakfast to encourage him to assist his fellow officer in abusing a woman.
Last, but by no means least, Tony the Tiger has a knock at the current world situation by helping a scared female suicide bomber by the name of Anna. His complete healthy breakfast, including the Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes, “brings out the tiger” in the woman, as she puts her finger on the detonator.
It is unknown how long the YouTube channel and its fake commercial videos will continue to be available on YouTube, but according to viewers “They’re Grrrrreat!”
