You’ve got to hand it to Tucker Carlson. The Fox News host/villainous frat member from an ’80s movie took a break from lionizing domestic terrorists and ripping Ted Cruz a new one to address a truly important issue that affects Americans everywhere: the fuckability of M&Ms. The internet exploded over Mars Inc.’s woke redesign of the M&M mascots, which included swapping the Green M&M’s go-go boots for sneakers and the Brown M&M switching to a more sensible heel.
The internet quickly ran wild with the story, but Carlson took things to the next level. In a segment for Tucker Carlson Tonight, the host bemoaned no longer getting hard for a candy company mascot, saying “M&M’s will not be satisfied until every last cartoon character is deeply unappealing and totally androgynous. Until the moment you wouldn’t want to have a drink with any one of them. That’s the goal.”
He also mocked the Orange M&M’s anxiety, saying “Maybe he doesn’t like all the ugly new shoes he sees around him.”

Naturally, folks online couldn’t help but mock Carlson’s self-serious outrage over the mascot redesign. And that’s largely because he treats it with the gravity and drama of something that actually matters. It’s absolute clownery, and the internet was quick to dunk on the Fox News poster boy:
For your Saturday morning viewing pleasure, I am proud to present:
Tucker Carlson being extremely angry that he no longer wants to fuck the M&Ms cartoon character.
No, really.pic.twitter.com/k4wZyw8Plu

Mars has relented and will now add a Tucker Carlson M&M. They’re all-white, extra bitter, and will meltdown when mixed with multi-colored M&Ms. pic.twitter.com/8NghQrNRq1

Who among us has not looked at those walking, talking candies and thought: yeah, I’d date that…! … but only if it’s wearing four-inch heels… (OK in fairness, only
@TuckerCarlson has thought that…) https://t.co/ZvMksFsoF9— Joy-Ann (Pro-Democracy) Reid (@JoyAnnReid) January 23, 2022

Tucker Carlson is upset that an M&M got new shoes
Ted Cruz was upset Big Bird encouraged kids to get vaxxed
Matt Schlapp was upset there’s now an Asian American Sesame St muppet
They were upset about Mr Potato Head & Dr Seuss
But a terrorist attack on our Capitol? No big deal

Of course, if there’s anything to be upset about RE: the M&M redesign, it’s that its a thinly veiled attempt for Mars to shift publicity away from the child labor lawsuit they are currently embroiled in. Because who has time to discuss exploited children when an M&M changes her shoes?
reminder that m&m's are trending bc everyone in the media from tucker carlson to cnn are happily going along with this faux controversy publicity stunt as a propoganda smokescreen to bury the looming mars co child slavery lawsuithttps://t.co/noAQtHZ5zB
