250 complaints in just 24 hours for new Marmite advert - Polidicks

[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;41747484]I've been trying to search around for what this stuff tastes like but apparently it's as difficult to describe as how it feels like to get a blowjob must be pretty great stuff man[/QUOTE] Do Australian embassies still sell Vegemite? It's not Marmite, but I'd imagine they're similar in nature.

Now that is a good advert.

I would really like to read those adverts and see what people are upset about.

I'm Australian, I don't mind Vegemite (Is this similar?) and find this ad hilarious. Sue me, oversensitive cock nugget ad haters.

Vegemite and marmite taste different, we have both in new zealand

Maybe it makes people believe that marmite is somehow recycled. What could possible give them that idea?

[QUOTE=Trogdon;41747037]Yeah I don't think abuse is funny[/QUOTE] I assure you, no jars of Marmite were hurt in the filming of this commercial.

[QUOTE=Stormcharger;41766538]Vegemite and marmite taste different, we have both in new zealand[/QUOTE] Vegemite is superior masterrace of deliciously foul-tasting black pastes.

They all taste disgusting except somehow marmite mixed with 2 minute noodles is delicious

[QUOTE=Zenreon117;41767065]Maybe it makes people believe that marmite is somehow recycled. What could possible give them that idea?[/QUOTE] No some people are just crybabies and don't like seeing jokes about neglection being made, even if the thing that's neglected is a jar of food. Reminds me of the people who complained about the adoption joke in the avengers. Pretty sure the joke was even removed in the Blu Ray cut.

Marmite is great. Its uses aren't limited to being used as a spread, either; You can make a nice broth with it.

You can easily make a fake gravy from it (vegetarian, too!)

The only thing I can think of after watching that is; what the fuck is Marmite? Some kind of preservative?

[QUOTE=UberGamer;41747292]Holy shit people get fucking offended over anything. Why do they always find any excuse to complain about something? You could film somebody saying "I don't like toast" and watch as hundreds of people complain how it's offensive somehow.[/QUOTE] A couple of years ago there was an energy drink called mother that changed its whole recipe. The commercial for it it depicted ninjas punching the scientists who made the old flavour. It was silly and filled with slapstick humor. But apparently thousands of people thought it was unfair to scientists and complained. So they had to take the ad off the air. It was replace by a shot for shot remake comprised of stick figures. There is a shitload of overly sensitive people out there with too much time on their hands.

here's hoping they follow it up with a commercial set to sarah mclachlan

[QUOTE=Hellduck;41748025]it tastes extremely salty and bitter but also nice[/QUOTE] it sounds like you're describing the taste of semen. Marmite doesn't taste like semen as far as I'm concerned.

i can't imagine eating toast with anything other than butter, peanut butter, or jam. [editline]8th August 2013[/editline] can someone mail me a marmite or would that be considered bioterrorism

But the ad isn't portraying a dark one sided abuse argument. Those poor forgotten probably stale as fuck jars of toast goo find good homes who enjoy it.

I think the complaints were more about how it reminds people about the tragedy and awfulness of animal abuse (those Marmite people in the van were a parody of animal rescue people). Still an over reaction.

The effort they make to make people eat embalming fluid :v:. The kids face sums up the stuff, it's absolutely disgusting and makes you wants to throw up when even smelling it. Remember [URL="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2067494/Marmite-M1-spill-Lorry-crash-spreads-20-tons-motorway-closing-carriageway.html"]http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2067494/Marmite-M1-spill-Lorry-crash-spreads-20-tons-motorway-closing-carriageway.html[/URL]? I guess it was the entire world supply for people actually liking the stuff.

I personally bloody love this, why is my country moaning at this :'(

[quote]"it trivialises the work of animal welfare charities".[/quote] Wha?whu- what? What a load of crap. I am at a loss for words at how dumb this is.

I can't stop fucking laughing, this is so ridiculous.

Any ad with self irony is a good ad.

I don't understand how 250 complaints is significant. There's more than 250 people living in my town never mind the entire country. How is this significant enough to become news? Really?

compared to the amount of other people that watch British TV, 250 people is nothing.

[QUOTE=Dr.Critic;41770967]Wha?whu- what? What a load of crap. I am at a loss for words at how dumb this is.[/QUOTE] I think trivialize is the new offensive.

People that have no problems create their own. Pretty pathetic.
