A little over a month after Super Bowl XLIII was played, I’m just getting around to posting about the best (and most catchy) commercial aired during the game…

It’s Nanerpus!

Watch it again. You know you want to. And again. And again. And again. There’s just something hypnotic about Nanerpus. Maybe it’s the obvious strings pulling its “limbs.” Maybe it’s the fact that its eye falls off. Maybe it’s the cute jingle. Or maybe… it’s just Nanerpus.

The best news is that Denny’s has made available for download a good quality, slightly-extended version of the commercial here. You can hear Nanerpus say the full word “pancakes.” Awesome, eh?

Searching around the ‘net for Nanerpus shows that I’m clearly not the only one that’s slightly obsessed about the silly banana puppet thing.

Here’s an Asian Nanerpus: 

And a Baby Nanerpus:

This guy even tried to complete the Nanerpus song:

Nanerpus is also on Twitter (though I’m pretty sure it’s an imposter).

And there’s also an amazing Nanerpus art contest here, with my favorite entry being this t-shirt design:

If Denny’s was smart, they’d sell shirts with this design on it. I’d buy one.
