for jammy and toffee dodgers?

The little biscuit monkeys give me the creeps, and I am not tempted to buy the biscuits at all.

Does anyone like them - the monkeys that is, I know there are people who love jammy dodgers lol.

No YANBU. That ad totally gives me the heebie geebies. Scary.

WhiteTrash · 05/06/2011 13:50

YANBU. I wondered if it would scare ds when he saw it.

It didnt. Just me.

worraliberty · 05/06/2011 13:51

The toffee monkey looks like my ex BIL.

For that reason alone I don't eat them.

katvond · 05/06/2011 13:56

It scared my DD too

HeadfirstForHalos · 05/06/2011 13:58

They are creepy, it's put me right off eating a jammy dodger for a good while!

GwendolineMaryLacey · 05/06/2011 14:07

God, my mother will tell anyone she meets about how creepy this advert is too :o

LadyBeagleEyes · 05/06/2011 14:14

Definitely creepy OP.
And I'm partial to a jammy dodger me. But these evil monkeys are not selling them to me

jimswifein1964 · 05/06/2011 14:16

Ah, the kids love it!

UndiscoveredApprentice · 05/06/2011 14:16

Phew so glad it is not just me lol. I wonder if their marketing team will ever read this thread ha ha.

YANBU.They are creepy,almost as much as the Birdseye polar bear.And the toffee dodgers are awful.

Nanny0gg · 05/06/2011 14:52

I'll not buy them now out of sheer bloody-mindedness over the awfulness of this advert.

katvond · 05/06/2011 14:56

The polar bear one I like

katvond · 05/06/2011 14:57

But give me a meerkat anyway :)
It's mine and DD fave

JjandtheBeanlovesUnicorns · 05/06/2011 15:04

Creepy monkeys, yanbu

lazarusb · 05/06/2011 15:17

worraliberty Grin
I wonder who thought they'd be a good marketing idea because it's put me off buying them.

SixtyFootDoll · 05/06/2011 15:19

I can't bear it either, I won't be buying toffee dodgers for sure.

BatsInTheSnowglobe · 05/06/2011 15:27

Hate that advert i switch it off those monkeys are the stuff nightmares are made of!

stoatie · 05/06/2011 15:30

Hate the Birds Eye Polar bear - especially the new advert which results in Kevin getting the sack - I find it menacing and unpleasant

Happyhippychick · 05/06/2011 15:44

Horrid creepy polar bear

dwpanxt · 05/06/2011 15:47

Hate the Birds Eye Polar bear-so creepy.

Both the toffee monkey and the toffee dodgers are awful.Saw a display of chocolate dodgers in Tesco but didn't even contemplate buying them - the toffee dodgers have put me right off alternative dodger buying.

ratspeaker · 05/06/2011 16:50

YANBU

They creep me out too
and that polar bear < shudder >
If that wifie was to write here about her relationship with that sinister controlling bear we'd be telling her to grab the kids and leave him asap

carabos · 05/06/2011 16:54

OP totally agree - they are nightmarish.

maxcliffordslovechild · 05/06/2011 16:54

YANBU those monkeys are awful and menacing and the polar bear, is he mafia? i'm sure i saw him in the godfather

LolaRennt · 05/06/2011 17:05

Oh has any one seen the one with the boy eating breakfast and hit pets are discussing it? Then the old dog says "get it down yer boy" euggh. Just sounds wrong every time

mycatoscar · 05/06/2011 17:07

yes the monkeys are creepy!

me and dh have discussed and we really cant see why there are monkeys advertising jammy dodgers!

are we being a bit thick?
