YANBU Grin

OMG we say the exact same thing every time it comes on here.

He is too famous to be playing someone else in that style but not famous enough not to acknowledge he has a following.
I get that it is a character but he should for sure be saying “I’m Marcus”, it doesn’t come across properly at all.

Oh it is him?? I thought I must be getting confused because it would be such an odd thing for them to do.

ThymeLord · 05/04/2018 20:58

YANBU.

Not as bad as Harvey Kietel in direct line adverts though. Is he that short of cash?!

Bloomed · 05/04/2018 20:59

Which ad?

wordgirl · 05/04/2018 21:01

I don’t even know Bloomed as I’m too busy shouting at the TV. Something to do with data I think?

YANBU. Every time I see the advert on the Tube I think how ridiculous it is.

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 05/04/2018 21:07

I don't actually shout at him, but I did spot him straight away.

Grin not the most successful ad then!

Eminybob · 05/04/2018 21:17

Can someone link the ad as I have absolutely no idea what you are on about

Bloomed · 05/04/2018 21:25

Is it this?

Ooh, it's MrB, the gentleman rapper

Hi career hasn't exactly blossomed of late With 2 kids at private school he has to take what he can get.

LadyOfTheCanyon · 05/04/2018 21:37

Oh god it's so annoying. And he's annoying too- completely full of himself and not as funny as he thinks he is.

jamoncrumpets · 06/04/2018 21:19

We say this every time it comes on! I genuinely believe that 'Dan' is in a loving homosexual relationship with 'Other Dan' in those ads.

Alison100199 · 06/04/2018 21:34

Yep. I say that too. Why didn't they just use his actual name?

Foslady · 07/04/2018 08:54

After seeing live I luffs Him!!! Should have used his real name though.....

Flockoftreegulls · 07/04/2018 08:58
