Yep, this one got my goat when I saw it the other night.
It is a great example of really bad marketing.
If the brief is to get men eating yoghurt it will need a lot more than this.
- "The grumbler" is basically the awful Crazy Frog reborn, showing an appalling lack of imagination.
I can't help wondering if someone saw the old Yorkie marketing campaigns and thought "this could work with yoghurt!".It is a great example of really bad marketing.

The guy eating a manly yoghurt to banish "the grumbler".
You can try what you like, but you will not make yoghurt a manly hunger-negating snack.

It'd satisfy your hunger for all of 10 seconds. Wimmin food.

- It follows the usual formula e.g. Make sure we see that there are three blokes in the van - as if it was just two fellas we would all assume they were gay.(Which might put off some sexually insecure types)
- They haven't even changed the pot design. "Too expensive to change the tooling in the factory and we don't want to alienate our core female buyer" as some gimp would no doubt have said. Just make a TV ad showing a young bloke eating it and you'll change long held perceptions and eating habits overnight...
But what exactly does the Grumbler do? This cheeky chappie riding around on his motorbike isn't much of an irritation. So why the rush to sort him out. On a long journey with my 'not-gay' friends selfishly sleeping in the back whilst I drive, I'd welcome the diversion from the monotomy that a frog doing stunts on a motorbike would bring.
And when you do finally tire of the frogs antics and eat your girlie yoghurt, the Grumbler doesn't die or dissappear, he just starts riding a tricycle. What???!!
The whole thing is just such a monumental waste of time and money. Yet people were paid real money to develop this. Probably quite good money.
Really boils my P1SS
What annoys me is the Free-Derm advert with the Goose. I actually think the advert is pretty cool, but the product it is advertising isnt, and it lets the advert down.

I hate this advert with a passion,some completely knobby bloke saying things like presence and gravitas.
If I see someone in an a7 I just think grey man in a grey little suit, if this man starting spouting off in a meeting, I couldnt stifle a yawn.
It knocks this really nice brass steampunk style gramaphone off the table, with its weedy little spoiler, pathetic.
I would rather have the gramaphone to be honest.
Well at least it does me the favour of reminding me one car I dont want to own.

The gramophone is cool. What it is saying does make me think of Audis.
