"Apparently this is my first ever TV commercial," says Apparently Kid in the above spot for FreshPet pet food. He goes on to play with puppies and make some fart jokes, apparently. Thank god his delightful demeanor and cute round face have finally been properly monetized.

Apparently Kid Noah Ritter, the ginger 5-year-old you apparently remember from that time he apparently overused a certain qualifier in a local news interview, charmed everyone on Ellen Thursday in what was apparently his first time on a national talk show.

Circa 2009, the highest honor available to a weird local news video was a remix by the Gregory Bros., the nerdy internet band famous for Auto-Tuning the 2008 presidential debates. But blatant, T-Pain-style Auto-Tune has long since gone out of fashion, and it's been a while since we've had an Antoine Dodson or a Sweet Brown.

Things just keep getting better and better for the American hero known Apparently Kid. Hours after his appearance on the Today Show, Noah "Apparently" Ritter was the subject of a tribute on the Colbert Report.
