I wonder why the makers of Maltesers ….

Never knowingly watch any adverts.

I've just seen the advert on YouTube, as I don't have a TV by choice.

The entire thing absolutely bored me stupid!

I still love Maltesers!

It seems lots of Maltesers advertising has been a bit quirky:

I can't actually find the advert discussed in the article I found, Oreo - though I did find a different one with the same characters.

Yes NotSpaghetti it’s the creativesalon ad.
I think people don’t like it, not cos of the ‘we’re getting it on’ remark but the fact that the man is just creepy.Why couldn’t he have been normal?

Here's one from 2006 which I like - though expect it wouldn't work now.

I haven't seen it.
Do you mean one from years ago discussed here?

I have seen that advert numerous times and I didn't even realise it was for Maltesers 😂 shows how much notice I take of adverts.

I also hate that ad and come to think of it haven't bought Maltesers for ages and I used to love them!

I rather think the advertising agents nailed it in terms of equality and diversity by including people of different ages, etc……….and that’s all I am going to say as I don’t want this turning into a political discussion.

Awful advert.

No idea who thought it up, but creepy isn’t the word!
