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.

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..

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. :-)

Aw...

I think he is creepy in the adverts.

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

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.

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

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!

I love it. Very funny. link here for anyone who hasn't seen it

I love Baby Oleg. Pity they've dumped him off with ancient relative in the desert without his babygro. Sob, sob.

Oh I really want Baby Oleg but no car and no insurance needs.How sad am I?

I've got 3! But I'm very jealous of GS2 who has got Baby Oleg

I know Galen, I`ve got 2!

Puts me off MiniMouse, just like probably 99% of all adverts!

It may lead to discussion, but does it encourage us to use the product? A bit like the double glazing one in which the man SHOUTS the whole way through. Just makes me think they'd be last company I'd use!

You get a free meercat with co,pare the market.

Seriously disturbing, 'Dave' looks like (how I imagine) a serial killer....
Pretty sure anyone mincing down our village high street dressed like that would finish off some of the more elderly residents!
Much prefer the elephant one

I love it until Sharon Osborne appears.

Anya your response made me chuckle. I so agree. First time I saw it I was drinking coffee. I choked on it and spat it out. My sil laughed. I asked him if he thought the add was funny. He said "no, just your reaction" .

It's weird for sure but it does what its meant to do and get people talking about the 'moneysupermarket ad',

Martin Lewis owned 'Moneysaving Expert' a completely different website.

It's awful. My DGD thinks it's great. Maybe it's a generation thing.
