Breakfast comes alive!
The new animated web series, “The Grand Slams,” stars breakfast favorites – Egg, Pancake, Sausage and Bacon – from Denny’s iconic dish, The Grand Slam, in a completely entertaining and unexpected way.
Denny’s has partnered with Stoopid Buddy Studios, the studio behind “Robot Chicken,” to create “The Grand Slams” launching October 15, and the series follows the diner gang on their everyday adventures and beyond.
Take a look at the trailer which introduces the cast and previews the series. The comedic tone of the overly dramatic narrative tickled me right from the start. It’s sure to be a completely hilarious series, and I can’t wait to see what Stoopid Buddy Studios is going to do with this cast of characters.
The first official episode kicks-off October 15th with a diner debate on the merits of dessert vs. breakfast, resulting in a savory standoff where Bacon and Sausage take on sweet and tasty Pancake. You can catch it all on the official site TheGrandSlams.com or Dennys.com
Follow-up episodes will take the characters through some Halloween escapades and more! Guests can also get to know the characters by scanning a QR code on Denny’s placemats in-restaurant or through the Denny’s mobile app on their devices.
I’m super excited about the series. totally tickles my funny bone, and I love that Denny’s is keeping things fresh, fun and relevant!

Hannah Staveley says
Oh dont know of this does looks interesting .z

Bacon. Bacon all the way, no matter what, at any time LOL
We don’t eat at Denny’s- there’s ONE in this area and it’s right smack dab in the middle of Niagara Falls and a major tourist area. As a result, it’s always packed, too noisy and ridiculously overpriced. Such a shame.

I haven’t been to Denny’s in years. And my kids would love that video. Too cute.
Marielle Altenor says
What a cute video lol ! I so wish I had a Deny’s up here in Montreal! Would be the best thing ever!!

We don’t have that much diners here, but I love diners. I would really go out of my way to wake up early and drive on Sunday mornings to have a big breakfast even if the diner is far from my house. I wish someone would bring Denny’s Diner here in PH.
Mommy Pehpot says
Oh my! My kids will love this show (they enjoy watching angry orange shows haha) I’d go for the pancake character haha

Lisa says
Is it weird that watching a cartoon pancake made me hungry? I wish that there was a Denny’s closer to where I live! When the hubs and I lived in Phoenix it was one of our fave breakfast spots! 🙂

Ann Bacciaglia says
I would have to say Egg is my favorite. Although pancake is a cute character as well. We love eating at Denny’s.
Andrea Kruse says
Oh, my! That is an adorable character. We just love pancakes and I think my kids would really go for a character out of their favorite food. Good for Denny’s! Way to think outside the take-out box.

I have that same debate with myself for breakfast, love pancakes and syrup but know it isn’t healthy, better to have eggs and bacon.

Oh my gosh how funny. We have a Denny’s close to us that we go to often. The girls love pancakes and of course Mike and I can not have them on Whole30, so its a great opportunity for us all to get to eat and order different stuff.

My kids got a real kick out of this! How fun!
Denise Taylor-Dennis says
What a funny trailer, I love to visit Denny’s for breakfast or even breakfast for dinner. They really do have the best breakfast.

This would be the best show to watch while eating breakfast before school. I think I’d be partial to Sausage myself.
brian miller says
ha. this is cute…
it would not deter me from eating them…ha
Rebekah says
Remind me not to watch this during breakfast – I’ll end up quite sad with my cup of coffee while watching a pancake dancing around my screen. Almost like it’s taunting me.
