About

Puppy Monkey Baby is a hybrid dog-monkey-human creature shown in a Mountain Dew advertisement broadcast during Super Bowl 50 held in early February 2016. Online, many expressed displeasure with the creature, claiming they found it disturbing and distasteful.

Origin

During Super Bowl 50 on February 7th, 2016, a commercial was broadcast in which a bizarre creature with a pug dog's head, a monkey's torso and a human baby's legs delivers a bucket full of Mountain Dew "Kickstart" sodas to a group of men sitting in a living room (shown below). Within 24 hours, a YouTube upload of the commercial gained over 9.9 million views and 2,700 comments (shown below).
