So apparently he’s a pretty big deal now. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3341034/apparently-kid-freshpet-commercial/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3341034/apparently-kid-freshpet-commercial/"},"headline":"The \"Apparently Kid\" Is Doing Commercials Now, Apparently","datePublished":"2014-09-12T17:49:11.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:13:10.154Z","description":"With puppies, making him even more adorable","url":"https://time.com/3341034/apparently-kid-freshpet-commercial/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2fa2296299856eec/6986a319169ab0e44227b23e/apparently-kid-commercial.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Tessa Berenson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/tessa-berenson/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2fa2296299856eec/6986a319169ab0e44227b23e/apparently-kid-commercial.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Apparently kid commercial","caption":"Apparently kid commercial","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3341034/apparently-kid-freshpet-commercial/","name":"The \"Apparently Kid\" Is Doing Commercials Now, Apparently"}}]}] ```
