Since MetLife uses Peanuts characters in their ads,
shouldn’t all the adults and announcers speaking in the ads sound like that
muffled horn gobbledygook from the Peanuts TV specials that sounds like: “Wha
wah wha wah wah wah”? That would be far more consistent with the Peanuts
universe. And if they’re not going to do that in the ads, then why bother using
Peanuts characters? They should stay true to the source, man. (They could
always just do what they do in the TV specials when they want us to know what
an adult is saying: simply have the adult say the “wha wah wah” gobbledygook,
and then have Charlie Brown repeat what they said as a question, as if to say:
“That’s what you said, right?” I’m sure we’d all prefer that sort of language
in insurance advertising anyway, right? Because after all, that’s what all
their policy fine print seems like when we read it {“wha wah wah”-esque gobbledygook,
that is}, so it would seem a lot more honest from the start to have their ads
use that kind of language.)
