A few people I know think that this latest ad is very funny. Me? I think it`s verging on disgusting. If a bloke stuck his bum out at me like that, I`d stick a pin in it!

Oh, come on NotTooOld - he has lots of little friends to play with now, and I think Auntie and Uncle left the babygro with him! smile

Am I odd? The grownup meerkats are Ok, but I think baby Oleg is ugly and bit creepy.

I mentioned on another thread a few months ago that I once worked for the billionaire who was the brains behind the meerkat adverts.

I choked on my G&T at the thought of him being responsible for cuddly, fluffy characters. hmm

Elegran, I agree that the toy Oleg is a bit creepy, but in the tv adverts he's adorable!

I think he is creepy in the adverts.

I used to like the one when he was still in Coronation Street wearing a blue patterned babygro, the one where he watches a mobile go round and falls backwards, asleep. Aaah. But thank you, Ana, for reminding me that he now has friends to play with. I hope he's happy.

Blimey - listen to me. I'm not really such a silly old fool. :-)

PS DH says the scene with the lion, where the babymeerkats are roaring and playing at being lions themselves, remind him of the grandchildren. I think he sees himself as the lion and the grandkids as the roaring baby meerkats. There are definite similarities..

Someone should have informed Social Services about Baby Oleg.
The poor wee mite was left on the doorstep then taken in for a short while before being unceremoniously dumped out in Africa.
