This mainly means the female M&M characters will be less cartoonishly sexualized, with Green exchanging her go-go boots for sneakers, and the ad campaigns dropping the occasional antagonistic relationship plot for a more supportive friendship. Also, the M&M characters will also reflect a wider range of body types.It’s 2022 so you won’t be surprised to learn that this has provoked a ton of discussion and mockery. You might be surprised however that the mockery comes from across the political spectrum.
Including Stephen Colbert and “The Late Show” writers.Which brings us to that cold open gag, a super sexual re-edit of the “how many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop” ad campaign from the 1960s and ’70s.In the original ad, a young boy asks an owl named Mr. Owl how many licks it takes; Mr. Owl, clearly a selfish jerk, takes the Tootsie Pop from the boy and declares it takes three licks — because he then uses his beak to break the Tootsie Pop to get to the center.
In the Colbert Parody, things go a little differently.“Let’s fine out,” Mr. Owl says in a deep, sexy baritone voice. “One.
Two. Threesome. Foreplay.
69.”“I’m confused,” the young boy says.“You see, owls say ‘who,’ but I say ‘who wants to take a ride on Mr. Owl’s magic beak of pleasure.”“I’m gonna need therapy,” the boy says before walking off. Then we get a new slogan for the candy: “Tootsie Pop: Suck our ball.”Watch it below:On #LSSC tonight: M&Ms are making a change, but one candy company isn’t changing a thing.
