Ensemble Darkhorse/Advertising

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Examples of Ensemble Darkhorses in Advertising include:

  • If you remember the old commercials for Cinnamon Toast Crunch, you'd remember three bakers...but if you saw any now you'd see only one. Guess who was the most popular and soon became the Spotlight-Stealing Squad?
    • Some people speculate that Bob and Quienno aren't around anymore because Wendell killed them.
  • Linus the Lionhearted was a kids' cartoon/cereal commercial in the 1960s featuring the then-current Post Cereal mascots. All of the characters are forgotten, except one: Sugar Bear.
