'Apparently Kid' Cashed In and Made a Pet Food Commercial

Well, you knew it was bound to happen eventually because memes have eaten the American Dream like a species of very determined bug: “Apparently Kid” Noah Ritter has parlayed his Internet celebrity into an ad for FreshPet, a natural pet food company. There are puppies!

The commercial comes to us via AdWeek. The best part is trying to guess what percentage of what they wanted Noah to say he actually said. Noah isn’t gonna read off your script. Noah’s whole deal is IMPROV, man. Don’t tell Noah how to do his job. Don’t you know you’re talking to “Apparently Kid”?

Pretty weak that the Powerball folks didn’t immediately think to book this kid (and his grandpa) as their new face.
