Brilliantly funny advert for Marmite this week ::



But now there is a big fuss because 278 people have found it offensive apparently :::

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-23601215

Given that millions of people must have seen this advert, does anyone think that a mere 278 complaints is really representative of public opinion ? Are some people so sensitive that they are going to be offended by just about anything ?

I agree it is hilarious and very clever advertising too.

The first voice of reason Mamy !
Marmite ? In poor taste ? Never !
I think those who complained need a serious long look at themselves and their motives for being so easily offended.
I love Marmite.

The advert is amusing and different and a great change from the usual bland but annoying adverts that we get.

Is the full advert shown (I don't have a TV) or different versions.

Some people are easily upset ~ I am not one of them.
What Buerks.
Well done ellipsis!
I loved the way the dog's face was obscured
Oh for goodness sake!!

I don't watch ITV very much Wolf, but I suspect this is the full version.

Actually Marmite have a good track record when it comes to amusing adverts. I can't find it on Youtube but does anyone remember the one where the chap feels sorry for the tramp in the park and gives him his last Marmite sandwich ? The end shot is of the chap walking away, pleased that he has been able to do someone a good turn, and then he is hit on the back of the head by a Marmite sandwich !
I think that's brilliant, I actually did laugh out loud at it.

Very good ad, although imo all jars of Marmite should be threw in the dustbin pronto.
Good grief, how ridiculous
It's brilliant, I love marmite and the ad...and the obscured dog is hilarious.
I guess those 278 people hate Marmite. Nothing there to be offended by at all.

Mamy...thanks..enjoying the tramp advert even better the second time around !
I don't watch a lot of tv, and nearly always skip adverts or make a cuppa at this time. But this advert is great! Made me smile. Very different, very clever. Love it
i think it likely that the same person complained 278 times
Question Author
Well, considering that Marmite haters do nothing but complain ( at least as far as my family is concerned ) perhaps we shouldn't be too surprised !
