The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
As children, we’re lured to the cereal aisle by adorable cartoon mascots, tempting us with their sugary treat. Now that we’re adults… What if our responsible, i.e., boring, cereal choices had a mascot?
That mascot might look something like College Humor’s Reverend Oats — a very stale lifeless soul, who peddles your dreary gray oats. “Plain Oats… they’re…food.”
NSFW language.

Move over, Letterman, Leno, and whoever else no one stays up late enough to watch — because Cap’n Crunch is getting his own late night talk show… Seriously. The Cap’n Crunch Show is the next step in the Cap’n’s comeback, after a recent revival of the brand, thanks in large part to some successful social media marketing. The decision to launch a Cap’n Crunch cereal that’s all Crunch Berries probably didn’t hurt either.
The Cap’n Crunch Show will run on its very own YouTube channel every other Tuesday at 11:35pm, beginning May 7th. Guests are expected to be some heavy hitters from the breakfast and kiddie cereal industry. Hopefully, we get a rare appearance from Fruit Brute, or some of the other cereal monsters. We hear they’re a tough interview.
