Sure, in it, Peter is an annoying brat, but its fitting, I think, and I cant help chuckling every time I see it.
Heres a Houston Chronicle article about the commercial and the 12-year-old actor, Thomas Barbusca, who plays Peter Pan.

(35,688 posts)I'm a former advertising copywriter, and thus I mute all commercials. Never watch a one of them...but this one I watch! I laugh every time. He is so incredibly self-assured as he says "don't look a day over 70!" The other part that cracks me up is when he's flying and his foot goes in the guy's face.
Whoever cast that actor deserves an award!

(28,266 posts)That's what's known as Damning With Faint Praise. I've seen road kill I've liked better than that odious GE ad---which seems to be running 3 or 4 times an hour, these days.....
