Marks & Spencer has delighted fans with their latest Percy Pig themed advert featuring the cuddly mascot sporting bunny ears for an Easter-themed board meeting.
The British High Street favourite shared the ad on Instagram earlier this week with hundreds of shoppers hoping to pick up the Easter pig in stores.
The clip centres around a boardroom full of the plush limited edition Percy Pig toys – which cost £15 – as they sit in on a meeting and carefully guard Easter Eggs.
Marks & Spencer has delighted fans with their latest Percy Pig themed advert featuring the cuddly mascot sporting bunny ears for an Easter-themed board meeting. The British High Street favourite shared the ad on Instagram earlier this week with hundreds of shoppers hoping to pick up the Easter pig in stores.
The giant plush Percy toys first launched in September and was a huge hit with fans of all ages, at one point selling 10,000 toys in just a single day leading up to Christmas.
Since, the retailer has launched a series of adverts showing the plush teddy in boardroom situations, as well as Halloween and Christmas themed scenarios.
Their first advert, released in September, was met with horror by some social media users, with some joking it reminded them of a ‘David Lynch short’.
A somewhat eerie xylophone chimes in the background as the camera pans across the rows of unblinking toys.
