MetLife Cartoon Superbowl Commercial – Characters, Errors & Where Waldo Is

Posted on by andertoons

MetLife’s Superbowl ad this year is pretty tremendous if you’re a cartoon fan. Not only do you get the Peanuts gang, you get a whole host of cartoon awesomeness not seen since Roger Rabbit or that 2005 MasterCard commercial.

Here, take a look:

Isn’t that fun? Wanna know who’s all in it? Here’s the list as far as I can tell in order of appearance more or less:

  • Charlie Brown

  • Linus van Pelt
  • Lucy van Pelt
  • Franklin
  • Marcie
  • Schroeder
  • Woodstock
  • He-Man
  • Battle Cat
  • Pepe Le Pew
  • Penelope Pussycat
  • Waldo

  • Gravel Slag
  • Doggie Daddy
  • Fleegle
  • Bingo
  • Drooper
  • Snorky
  • Avery’s Wolf
  • Droopy
  • Daphne Blake
  • Cosmo Spacely
  • Big Gruesome
  • Little Gruesome
  • Astro
  • Penelope Pitstop
  • Auggie Doggie
  • Huckleberry Hound
  • Creeper
  • Ghost Clown
  • Witch Doctor
  • Beegle Beagle
  • Snoopy

I looked at MetLife’s Facebook page to double check myself, and found that they did make a few errors:

They list Captain Caveman as being in the ad, when in fact it’s Rock & Gravel Slag:

captain caveman

They also fail to list Witch Hazel, Ranger Smith, and Tex Avery’s wolf.

And, this isn’t an error per se, but did you notice Charlie Brown and friends only appear in the very beginning of the ad? And they’re not in the cast list on Facebook. (I’m thinking legal issues or something.)

I do need some help, though. Can anyone tell me who this is?

who

Is it a Scooby-Doo villain? They only appears in a few frames, but I just cannot figure it out. And did I miss anyone else?

Also, wanna know where Waldo is in the commercial? Actually, he’s all over the place:

waldo1

waldo2

waldo3

waldo4

waldo5

Now you can impress your friends when it airs!

Anyway, it’s always a hoot to see so many cartoons in one place. Nice job, MetLife! (And don’t miss the extra videos here!)

What did you think? Anyone you’d have liked to see included?

Hat tip to Bleeding Cool!

  9. They needed Space Ghost in there and Dyno Mutt…this ad was great though, reminded me of an all-time favorite show “Laff-o-Lympics”!

  14. Where are Inspector Gadget, Jem, Optimus Prime, Plastic-Man, the Wonder Twins, the Ninja Turtles, Speed Racer, the Chipmunks, the Chippettes, Garfield and Heathcliff?

  15. There’s all kinds of folks I’d have liked to see in there. The PowerPuff girls, Batman, etc… I’m sure getting rights though would be cost-prohibitive.

  20. I believe you missed Gazoo from the Flintstones. He’s hovering between Grape Ape and the Jetsons in the final scene. Also, where’s Ranger Smith?

  22. I’m pretty sure that’s Atom Ant, especially since they didn’t include any of the Flintstones characters. As far as Ranger Smith, he’s next to Cindy Bear on her left in the scene before Daphne gets out of the limo. Look at around 0:20 fullscreen.
