In a new commercial for Peanut Butter Cheerios by Tribal Worldwide in Toronto, a fast-talking, do-it-all father shows us exactly “how to dad.” He builds forts, tells hilarious jokes, plays dress up, and of course, serves his kids Peanut Butter Cheerios. Nice work, actor dad.

I guess that Simpleton fathers like Homer Simpson and Hank Hill are on the way out. Heck, for that matter, step aside, moms. Take-charge dads who still remember what it means to be cool are on the way in.

The ads position Peanut Butter Cheerios as a responsible – but still totally cool – breakfast option for the whole family. As the father in the spot tells us, “being a dad is awesome, just like new Peanut Butter Cheerios are awesome.” One would hope that Peanut Butter Cheerios don’t come with newfound responsibilities like changing diapers, but I think I get the idea.

Of course, I am having none of this peanut butter business in my morning bowl. A heaping bowl of moistened sugar is not exactly what society’s already-overactive children need to start the day. Cheerios’ view of fatherhood in 2014 is a bit more progressive and reliable than the traditional media depiction. At least it still includes the lazy, unhealthy meals provided by dads of yesteryear.
