Why it worked

The video uses the show's established comedic tone and meta-humor to deliver a promotional message that feels like a natural extension of the content rather than a traditional advertisement.

Summary

A short animated clip features the characters from the show Ted discussing their new animated format before being subjected to slapstick humor. The video concludes by promoting the series' upcoming release date on the Peacock streaming platform.

Product placement

Peacock (a) ACTS: it is the streaming platform where the series is hosted and the release date is announced. Removing it would change the video's purpose as it is the primary destination for the product being promoted.

Call to action

Be sure to watch Ted, the animated series on Peacock, streaming December 17th.

Be sure to watch Ted, the animated series on Peacock, streaming December 17th. Why would the animators do this to me? An anvil. Ah, they're having fun. This is going to be fun.
