I've never once seen a Domino's commercial with The Noid in it in the past few years. Either way their pizza is still absolutely disgusting. I wouldn't feed it to a dog because I'd consider that to be animal abuse.

Edit: I wouldn't consider this bringing him back.

The Noid returned to television in April 2021. The character first appeared in a series of brief video ads on social media sites, in which the Noid's face could be seen in a disruptive flash of video glitches over a shot of a meal included in a coupon promotion. Domino's officially confirmed the return of the Noid later in the month, and he was subsequently included in the mobile game Crash Bandicoot: On the Run! as part of a tie-in promotion for the restaurant.
