To think the new irn bru advert is a bit offensive?

[Sneezingwakesthebaby]

I know there's bigger problems in life but I'm genuinely curious about this one.

The new irn bru advert has a Scottish man being introduced to his Scottish daughters English boyfriend. The dad has a Scottish flag carpet. The boyfriend has an English flag outfit on his dog called Wembley. Every time the Scottish man speaks to the boyfriend, he has a sip of irn bru "to get him through" talking to the English boyfriend. Isn't this just making an offensive joke about the way some Scottish people hate English people just for being English?

I don't see why its allowed really. If I imagine the advert with different nationalities maybe with a dad who is British and has white skin and a boyfriend who is from India or Africa, this would be racist and offensive.

Am I being unreasonable?

I think the Irn Bru adverts are ace.

Just to be annoying Annakin31 the dog aint a staffie

I did just YouTube the adverts as have never seen them. I must have poor humour as I chuckled to them. Especially the Fanny one [immature]

The dog is very sweet...in fact he looks like our dog. It's just my instant reaction was it looked like two dogs DTD and so after that any face it made just looked traumatised...

It's probably just me....now I've seen it like that, I can't see it any other way

Yanbu know it's ment as a joke but as per people can make fun out of white British people and its classed as joke/fun but if its the other way round it's racism ect ...
No mention of the "ooooh fanny ya looook just like ya daddy. "" one then lol

yer granny was a fanny is funny sorry it just is

The 'granny fanny' one was funny-ish the first time I saw it but they're really scraping the barrel now.

I really like the Russian Irn Bru advert
