AIBU to think this is one of the most original, inspired, funny and watchable ads of recent times? It has brought to a big smile to my face.

Muppets Grin

I like it too. But I loved watching the old Muppet shows back in the day.

PaulDacresConscience · 03/12/2016 20:56

YANBU. I saw it for the first time last night and loved it.

I also really like the Amazon advert with the Priest and the Imam.

Oldraver · 03/12/2016 20:56

I do like the ad...but the product is rubbish so its lost its shine for me

Foldedtshirt · 03/12/2016 20:57

It's really joyful isn't it?! Grin

I'm not a particular fan of crumpets, but I often find that what I think of a product is not related to what I think of the ad!

Its a great advert. My only complaint is that the giant crumpets are not that bigger than normal sized ones Angry

MsFortunaMajor · 03/12/2016 21:11

*that much bigger.

I love crumpets.

KindergartenKop · 03/12/2016 21:11

It's so long though and how much must they have paid for those Muppets? Is Mr Warburton loaded?

TroysMammy · 03/12/2016 21:12

Everyone loves a Muppet however the crumpets are too big for my toaster.

gaggiagirl · 03/12/2016 21:15

Love that ad. Love crumpets too.

Love amazon's ad too.

The new Iceland ad with the Geordie santa is fantastic.

TheNoodlesIncident · 03/12/2016 21:17

They aren't in any way better though. You may as well just have two usual sized crumpets like I do

In fact they are bizarrely not quite as nice. Advert is great...

CherrySkull · 03/12/2016 21:18

love it, also love the amazon one!

IHaveBrilloHair · 03/12/2016 21:20

I love Muppets and crumpets, win win in this house.

Soubriquet · 03/12/2016 21:21

I must be a grump because I hate it

I don't like muppets and I can't stand crumpets

UterusUterusGhali · 03/12/2016 21:21

I love the ad!

I went out and bought them when I first saw it too!

Smidge001 · 03/12/2016 21:22

Love it Grin

Also love the weird hairy people/animal one where the hairy child gets given a toy elephant that makes a noise when it's squeezed, and he squeezes it repeatedly and the parents have to try not to be annoyed. Love that ad. Can't remember what it's for though...

Oldraver · 04/12/2016 16:02

TroysMammy....Yes the reason I say the product is rubbish is that they don't fit in the toaster...I have to cut them in half which defeats the point of a Giant Crumpet Grin

ILOVEKISSINGSANTACLAUS · 04/12/2016 16:18

Love love love The Muppets!

Love love love crumpets!

I'm happy

OhSoggyBiscuit · 04/12/2016 17:21

I don't know what my favourite thing about the TV ad is- it's all so perfect and eeee!

morningtoncrescent62 · 04/12/2016 17:25

Best advert since the 1981 Woolworths Christmas ad. I saw it last night - made my day. But sadly it doesn't top Anita Harris leaping out of a Christmas cracker or whatever it was she did.

Shitonyoursofa · 04/12/2016 17:30

I love it but every time I have the giant crumpets I expect muppets to appear in my kitchen and feel cheated when it doesn't happen!

EastMidsMummy · 04/12/2016 18:08

There's a massive flaw in this ad: it's all about giant crumpets, it shows giant crumpets alongside Muppets, but I have no idea how big a Muppet is. How tall is Kermit??

hazeyjane · 04/12/2016 18:14

How tall is Kermit??

24 inches.

I love crumpets but the giant ones won't fit in my toaster.Angry
