I saw a commercial during the NFL game. I can’t remeber of it was a car commercial. It looked like a bunch of different college mascots running around in the desert. I saw a Spartan, a covered wagon (which probably represents the Sooners), a cowboy (I think), and a big bouncing boulder.
What school would a big bouncing boulder represent?
Was it red and gray and had a big “O” on the front of its sweater? If so, that’s the Ohio State mascot, a buckeye.
Whatever the hell a buckeye is, I guess it gets you fired up if you’re from Ohio . . .

As The Daily Show pointed out recently, it’s an acorn.

Not exactly. An acorn is the fruit of an oak tree. A buckeye, is the fruit of a buckeye tree.
Totally separate trees.

Unless someone beheaded Brutus Buckeye, mascot of The Ohio State University, I doubt it. His head may be a nut, but he’s got a regular human body walks around - he doesn’t roll like a boulder.
Also, the buckeye tree is the official state tree of Ohio - therefore a buckeye is a nut from that tree. Poisonous to humans though, so don’t try to eat it.

Maybe the OP can clarify for us which mascot he’s referring to.

Ok, I’ll answer the OP. It’s a giant fucking buckeye.

And - to make it easier - on that link, it’s most identifiable as a buckeye at :32 and :38.
Great commercial, by the way!!!
So who decided to plat a bunch of buck eye trees next to the nuclear reactor?

That’s the commercial. Thanks. for the response.
Now, who wants to try to identify all the colleges and mascots in the commercial?

Yeah ok - it’s kind of quick and tough to see, but in order - here’s what I saw:
(1) Tiger - Who knows which Tiger it is? I’ll say it’s Mike the Tiger from LSU.
(2) Trojan - from USC. Tommy Trojan.
(3) Bulldawg - Uga from UGA. Go Dawgs!
(4) Longhorn - that’s Bevo from UT.
(5) Sun Devil - the fiery guy. I think his name is Sparky. ASU.
(6) Buffalo - Colorado. Ralphie.
(7) The Covered Wagon - that’s Boomer Sooner from OU.
(8) The Mountaineer - from West Virginia.
(9) The Giant Buckeye - The OSU.
(10) Cyclone - right at the end. I’ll say Iowa State.
That’s all I could make out. And I’ve done all that without googling / referencing, so if anything is wrong, feel free to point it out. I couldn’t tell if there was another mascot in there (like the guy hanging on underneath the wagon). Go College Football!!!

I was leaning that way, but to be honest, I couldn’t really make him out. Of course, it is sort of apropos of Michigan State’s season to have their mascot dragged around in the dirt.
I kid Spartan fans! I kid!

According to Jon Stewart Brutus’ natural enemy isthe squirrel.
