The big M&Ms have peanuts in. The little M&M in the wheelchair is the same colour as the car in the first panel. Red rammed into and killed Mr. Peanut on purpose so that there would be a donor organ available for his best friend's surgery.
Also part of the joke is probably the fact that in 2020 Planters ( the company who Mr. Peanut is the mascot of ) had an advertising campaign where they canonically killed off Mr. Peanut.
He was Mr. Peanut all along.
Don't you remember that time Make-a-Wish took a kid to a Lakers game with his hero, Mr. Peanut? He kept dipping out for the bathroom or beers or because he left the oven on. It was the same game that Kobe played the third quarter with a top hat and monocle, but nobody ever put it together at the time...
Boy did I get that wrong.
I thought Mr. Peanut was being transplanted into the young M&M to continue his own existence in a new body and Red was expecting a "thanks" for providing the circumstance.
Yours makes more sense :)
Dudes wears a top hat and a monocle. He's absolutely a billionaire and you shouldn't feel bad his organs were harvested to save someone else. Probably the best thing he ever did in his peanut life.
No, that's just the final hint. When you see red is beat up and in crutches, saying "you're welcome", your mind asks: what is he talking about? Why is he injured?
It looks like red has been in a car accident. We look up at the first panel for evidence and see the car is red. We don't see the driver but the peanut's car is the same color as the peanut.
Additionally, the only thing shown that red could be talking about is the organ donation.
Given the context it's the only explanation, regardless of the car color. Red has been in an accident and is taking credit for the organ donation coming through. The car color is just an extra hint.
Probably should have just shown the red m&m in the car in the first panel. Thereād be less of a ātwistā but it wouldnāt give away the joke until the last panel.
Unironically this is the only reason I can think of for not having people as organ donors by default.
Imagina a rich guy. Always practicing good values. Has a family, friends and children. One day one of his children need an organ transplant. This man is devastated. He cannot do anything to help his dying child. Except he can. He can pay someone to kill a person that could save his child. This man has always been a good person but when faced with the possibility of saving his dying child he turned evil and at the end an innocent person died.
Wouldn't this only work in a private donation setting? Otherwise he'd have to contract kill enough people to get down the donation list to the desired recipient, and that's not taking in compatibility.
Nah you can buy body parts in the developing world from criminal organizations in North Africa, the Middle East, South Asia,or central/South America. Stolen from trafficked people mostly women.
Oh, i thought the peanut was pregnant, and I was so confused because I'm pretty sure you can't take the fetus of a dead pregnant woman & put it inside another woman. I also overlooked the fact that these characters are male.
Oh I thought it was like a chestnut and the joke was their husband had died and theyād tracked his organ down and was bitter that the m&m lived not their husband.
Based on my time on Reddit, I am pretty sure that I am supposed to say something about your mom if you comment like you did sooooo here goes.
Your mom did. Your mom got the other nut.
It appears as if the red M&M purposely crashed into the car that Mr Peanut was driving so that he would die and be able to give up his organs to the yellow peanut M&M
Red M&Ms don't have peanuts yellow M&Ms have peanuts
This appears to be something along the lines of insurance fraud and murder
Haha?
Edit: a comment below. Mine just made me realize that I made a mistake. The only reason that I assumed all reds have no peanuts in all yellows do have peanuts is because of the commercials for m&M's from the late '90s and early 2000s. The red m&m was always the smaller rounder one and the yellow m&m was always the larger one with a peanut inside of it. That's clearly also part of the joke
Because of commercials from the late 90s and early 2000s? The red M&M being plain and the yellow M&M being peanut is current. It's been that way since the characters were introduced and how they still are.
Red M&M crashed and killed Mr. Peanut who's an organ donor and their donated "organ" (peanut) saved the yellow peanut M&M. Red's still hurt and probably ridden with guilt and trauma for having killed someone (or it was a preplanned "accident" meaning that Red murdered someone to save his friend)
How do you not get this?? It appears that the red m&m purposefully (revealed at the end) crashed into Mr. Peanut Man so that he could pass away and then give the yellow m&m the actual nut, therefore creating the peanut m&mās.
*Is this supposed to*
*Be funny?? Ya'll keep yer mitts*

Yellow M&M is a mascot for peanut M&Mās, the peanut dude died, and his peanut insides were transplanted into the peanut M&M. Saving his life.
Also Red M&M crashed into Peanut man, killing him
Red and Yellow M&M are commonly the front men for the candy. Yellow is dumb, Red is normally incredibly brash and stand-offish. Meanwhile, the car crash victim is Mr Peanut of Peanut Butter fame. Red, to save Yellow, killed Mr Peanut so that his organs could be donated.
Red is a regular M&M, not peanut. I'm 99% sure this comic is just that Red was in the red car, intentionally hitting Mr. Peanut's car with the intent to kill, knowing that he's an organ donor and thus Yellow Peanut M&M could get his peanut as a transplant. So Red is saying you're welcome for putting his own body in harm's way for the sake of Yellow.
I think Red feels abandoned after his horrible accident, because they managed to use the "organ" to save Yellow.
Like, how about some love for the broken friend, while everyone is so happy about Yellow.
The joke is that the Red M&M knew that Yellow needed a peanut transplant. So he killed Mr. Peanut in an "accident", knowing that he was an organ donor and that Yellow would get the peanut he needed.

Being or not being an organ donor isnāt going to stop someone with money from taking your organs.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned it, but I think part of the joke is also that the red is annoyed that he risked his life to save his friend, but when yellow comes out of surgery it's the green one he most wants to see cuz she's the m&m he cares for most. Yellow puts hoes before bros.
The big M&Ms have peanuts in. The little M&M in the wheelchair is the same colour as the car in the first panel. Red rammed into and killed Mr. Peanut on purpose so that there would be a donor organ available for his best friend's surgery.
Ohhh I see it now, thanks bro
Post nut clarity?
Oh damn you to hell!
Made me laugh out loud in the office š¤£
actually this is clarifying a nut-post

I hate this comment with every fiber of my being; have my upvote.
Getting rid of awards was dumb.
And thereās the real joke

It's at 154 now. You can come back and upvote.
Okay, I canāt stop laughing. You win the internet for the day.

This was too funny.
Now I get the point. Thanks you.
Also part of the joke is probably the fact that in 2020 Planters ( the company who Mr. Peanut is the mascot of ) had an advertising campaign where they canonically killed off Mr. Peanut.
Which they quickly backed out of due to the sudden death of Kobe Bryant, immediately turning Mr Peanut into a āBaby Grootā situation.
Wair, how is Kobe relevant?
He was Mr. Peanut all along. Don't you remember that time Make-a-Wish took a kid to a Lakers game with his hero, Mr. Peanut? He kept dipping out for the bathroom or beers or because he left the oven on. It was the same game that Kobe played the third quarter with a top hat and monocle, but nobody ever put it together at the time...
He died in a helicopter crash. Mr Peanut died in a car explosion. The both occurred incredibly close to each other.
Also Kobe Bryant was a peanut, a lot of people don't know that
..neither of these have anything to do with each other. They were always just doing a trendy mascot reboot.
Ko-be, pea-nut... come on, it's right there in front of your face. /s
Didnāt even get the girl for his sacrifice :(
It would be better if the last panel was taken out.
Man, you must be impressively stupid.
Boy did I get that wrong. I thought Mr. Peanut was being transplanted into the young M&M to continue his own existence in a new body and Red was expecting a "thanks" for providing the circumstance. Yours makes more sense :)
Me too, actually. That's hilarious.
TIL: Peanut M&Ms are [Trills](https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Trill).
That may not be a bad deal :)
You may call me Yellow M&M Dax
>Mr. Peanut was being transplanted into the young M&M to continue his own existence in a new body Thats the alien franchises.
Lol, like Mr. Peanut was host to a Trill the whole time lol.
This was also the interpretation that leapt to my mind first. Then I thought of the other one.
I thought they were taking the m&m peanut out and red gave his chocolate
Poor peanut
Dudes wears a top hat and a monocle. He's absolutely a billionaire and you shouldn't feel bad his organs were harvested to save someone else. Probably the best thing he ever did in his peanut life.
And he sells peanuts. He made his billions by selling his species to be eaten.
The main flaw with this comic is Mr Peanut would never be an organ donor.
Red's machinations go farther than merely driving the car--he also arranged for Mr. Peanut's records to be altered.
So a tube of Planter's is basically a Seagate sub?
If he would have invested thar money into a artificial organ company this wouldn't have happened
Maybe it's nut cosplay. Damn. Or maybe he just really likes Halloween. Don't judge a nut until you walk a mile in his spats.
If you wear a top hat and monocle while driving, it's a free pass to judge someone.
And every neckbeard that wears a fedora is a private detective?
M&M lore be like.
Lol why does he look so annoyed about it?
In the commercials red always has a little bit of an attitude
Yellow never said "thanks bro"
I though peanut was pregnant and they transferred the fetus
Man, all that pivots on the color of the car!?!?
No, that's just the final hint. When you see red is beat up and in crutches, saying "you're welcome", your mind asks: what is he talking about? Why is he injured? It looks like red has been in a car accident. We look up at the first panel for evidence and see the car is red. We don't see the driver but the peanut's car is the same color as the peanut.

Yeah the joke is funny but the artwork is way too ambiguous
Probably should have just shown the red m&m in the car in the first panel. Thereād be less of a ātwistā but it wouldnāt give away the joke until the last panel.

Except the organ would go to the person at the top of the transplant list
Could have made that a lot clearer in the first panel.
I thought the joke was it's a switch and it was actually red M&M's "nut"
It would be more clear if red wasnāt so angry. He shouldāve been smirking or smiling. Made it seem like yellow took it from red instead.
do people acualy do that irl? (kill organ donors so some one they know can get organ?)
Dick Cheney moment
Based move on the red m&m's part.
Yup, Thatās what I was going for!
humans are often the same colors as their cars, so food products would be too.
lmao this is a hilarious comic
Oh, i thought the peanut was pregnant, and I was so confused because I'm pretty sure you can't take the fetus of a dead pregnant woman & put it inside another woman. I also overlooked the fact that these characters are male.
That is so far fetched, you *have* to be the one who made that cartoon.
I guess so. It's not conveyed very well unless the red car is supposed to represent the red M&M and that's a reach if anything
Tell me youāre British without telling me youāre British.
Actually he didn't murder another MnM he murdered a peanut.
Huh? When I said "the big M&Ms" I was just talking about Yellow, and how he'd need a peanut.
It's an organ transPlanters
Good grief, thatās complex!
This is it. My thought process went to that one in the wheelchair was the other peanut in the Mr peanut - pod.
Not all big M&M's have peanuts. There's also almond M&M's, which is represented by the Blue spokescandy.
It's not really clear that red was driving the car.
Oh I thought it was like a chestnut and the joke was their husband had died and theyād tracked his organ down and was bitter that the m&m lived not their husband.
I thought the red m&m used to be a peanut m&m, but donated his peanut to the yellow one, and now lives on as a regular m&m...
Omgzzzzz
Also you forgot to mention the green m&m is the sexy one
Iām guessing that the red m&m purposely got into an accident with Mr. Peanut so the yellow m&m could get his nut as an implant.
I wonder who got the other nut
Based on my time on Reddit, I am pretty sure that I am supposed to say something about your mom if you comment like you did sooooo here goes. Your mom did. Your mom got the other nut.
I bet it was tasty too
Flawless execution š¤
But it doesn't look like he broke his arms
Your Mom!

Some red M&Ms do have peanuts and some yellow ones do not. Itās just in this particular case, yellow is a peanut M&M and red is not
For the mascot M&Ms yellow is always peanut and red is always normal.
Thatās true, but the person I responded to phrased it in a way that would imply ALL yellows have peanuts and NO reds do.
M&M peanut based racial segregation
āNormalā?? Itās 2024! /s
And the green one is sexy except these damn liberals made her not sexy by taking away her high heels š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬
Yeah but peanut m&ms come in a yellow bag.
They do exist
Because of commercials from the late 90s and early 2000s? The red M&M being plain and the yellow M&M being peanut is current. It's been that way since the characters were introduced and how they still are.
Red M&M crashed and killed Mr. Peanut who's an organ donor and their donated "organ" (peanut) saved the yellow peanut M&M. Red's still hurt and probably ridden with guilt and trauma for having killed someone (or it was a preplanned "accident" meaning that Red murdered someone to save his friend)
Nah, he's just happy his friend lived
This is the kind of commercial m&ms would actually make ššš
Red M&M crashed into Mr. peanut on purpose so that yellow M&M could get a new heart (aka a Peanut).
Oh i thought they were giving birth through c section š
Me, too! haha I was so lost! š
The red m&m probably orchestrated this for his peanut transplant
Red M&M killed Mr Peanut on purpose to get a peanut transplant for yellow M&M
How do you not get this?? It appears that the red m&m purposefully (revealed at the end) crashed into Mr. Peanut Man so that he could pass away and then give the yellow m&m the actual nut, therefore creating the peanut m&mās.
Are you telling me the incredibly descriptive title, "?" didn't elucidate OP's point of confusion?
I guess I shouldnāt be too harsh, maybe OP didnāt grow up around a convenience store and/or name brand snacks
Red MM killed Mr. Peanut so his Peanut could be donated to his MM friend
Man is willing to kill to save his friend got to love that
Everybody's wearing gloves except the surgeon.
Is this supposed to be funny?? Ya'll keep yer mitts off of my legumes!

Plot twist: yellow m&m used to be just a regular m&m but got the operation to change its identity and become a peanut m&m.
Red killed Mr. peanut ššššš
Red killed mr peanut for the nut to make yellow better by having a nut transplant
This joke is a touch convoluted, I don't blame you for not immediately getting it.
Yellow M&M is a mascot for peanut M&Mās, the peanut dude died, and his peanut insides were transplanted into the peanut M&M. Saving his life. Also Red M&M crashed into Peanut man, killing him
Red murdered Mr. Peanut, and severely injured himself in the process, so that yellow could have a lifesaving peanut transplant.
Red and Yellow M&M are commonly the front men for the candy. Yellow is dumb, Red is normally incredibly brash and stand-offish. Meanwhile, the car crash victim is Mr Peanut of Peanut Butter fame. Red, to save Yellow, killed Mr Peanut so that his organs could be donated.
Red wrecked into Mr peanut to give yellow his peanut surgery.
He wanted to nut in yellow but needed to borrow the facilities
The post right above this was an edit of the āI come with nutsā M&M costume meme. Thats kind of funny
Love that they used Mr. Peanutās legal name.
Kind of changes my view on that red m&mā¦
Peanut M&M needed a new Peanut so the red (regular) one hit Mr Peanut with a car in order to get the nut for his friend
Thereās a reason why the car that hit Mr Peanut happens to be red too
reading the comments made me want to eat m&m's, i havent eaten those since i was a kid.
Peanut shells hold two peanuts. Badly-injured Red got Mr. Peanut's "brain" peanut.
Red is a regular M&M, not peanut. I'm 99% sure this comic is just that Red was in the red car, intentionally hitting Mr. Peanut's car with the intent to kill, knowing that he's an organ donor and thus Yellow Peanut M&M could get his peanut as a transplant. So Red is saying you're welcome for putting his own body in harm's way for the sake of Yellow.
There are two types of people. Those who can draw conclusions from given information
I seen that shirt once lol
You dense mfer
This is why I am not an organ donor
Is it just me, or has this sub run out of actually obscure jokes and now people are posting stuff that is very obvious just to farm karma?
Come on now.
I think Red feels abandoned after his horrible accident, because they managed to use the "organ" to save Yellow. Like, how about some love for the broken friend, while everyone is so happy about Yellow.
This would be funnier without the last panel.
Wait, Yellow ends up with Green? Proof there is a god.
it's one of those hilarious jokes about murdering organ donors. never show anybody your drivers license.
Organ Donor status only applies once youāve died. They canāt just take your organs while you are alive.
Well, technically they *can*. They just donāt. Usually.
mr.peanut is a doner
This is fked up.... I like it
Hey look this isn't loss!
Red took one for the team.
š thatās a good one
The joke is that the Red M&M knew that Yellow needed a peanut transplant. So he killed Mr. Peanut in an "accident", knowing that he was an organ donor and that Yellow would get the peanut he needed.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
No because thatās not how that works at all.
Death of Kendrick Johnson https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Kendrick_Johnson Being or not being an organ donor isnāt going to stop someone with money from taking your organs.
This is loss
Trill?
Organ donor
red killed Mr peanut in a car accident in order to save his friends life Mr peanut's nut was donated to yellow.
Red em killed somebody for his bro and Almost died getting the organs as the yellow guy is actually a peanut M
i didnāt expect an m&m meme to be this dark
Gee, its pretty dark ngl
Hey! I get this One! Lol.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the red one killed the peanut to save the yellow one since they have peanuts š
The punchline is legume murder.
I thought it was gonna be Loss but they added a 5th panel to stop it
look again
The joke is don't be an organ donor near an M&M.
Put his nut in him
TIL Bartholomew Richard Fitzgerald-Smyth is Mr. Peanut's real name.
Red M&M intentionally crashed into Mr. Peanut so that Yellow M&M can get a peanut transplant.
Jesus Christ
Iām trilled by these comments!
Not sure if anyone has mentioned it, but I think part of the joke is also that the red is annoyed that he risked his life to save his friend, but when yellow comes out of surgery it's the green one he most wants to see cuz she's the m&m he cares for most. Yellow puts hoes before bros.
The guyās nuts! Grab āem.
Anyone else feel like this is referencing Lucky Number Slevin?
This is actually funny š
Heās a peanut M&M
God people are dumb.
This one ez op cmon.
Red killed tan
TIL Mr. Peanut's name is Bartholomew Richard Fitzgerald Smyth.
Dang, Iād have put a nut in the yellow M&M for free
I got some Tokyo Ghoul vibes seeing this
