Life in a capitalist hellscape is wild
Some ad exec saw Guardians of the Galaxy and thought “If it worked for that tree guy, it’ll work for Mr. Peanut!”
I thought this was a joke at first, but after finding the Wikipedia page… yep. They literally tried to pull a Groot with a fucking peanut mascot.
why matt walsh wtf
Because its not that Matt Walsh.
It’s the nerdy redhead comedian known for things like Comedy Bang! Bang! and The Daily Show (he was a correspondent).

Further, if you go to the section that is pictured in this meme:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Peanut#Baby_Nut_and_Peanut_Jr.
The link to Matt Walsh goes to the Wikipedia page I linked here. It’s absolutely a different “Matt Walsh.”
EDIT: I feel for Matt Walsh, the comedian. I too share a name with one of these right-wing chucklefucks. The only benefit seems to be that it’s hard to find me on the internet because this idiot comes up for every search for my name.
Was it the actor Matt Walsh?
