Quorn have been accused of “ripping off” a traditional video of their new cringeworthy advert.
The meals firm posted the advert on social media to advertise their new vegan hen nuggets ‘UniQuorns’.
Alongside the video, Quorn wrote: “Don’t consider what the grown-ups informed you, UniQuorns are REAL!
“Magically golden, magically crunchy, and magically vegan!”
The video reveals animated unicorns which grew in quantity, earlier than displaying footage of a mushroom.
A tune on high of the images repeatedly mentioned “unicorns”, earlier than it went on to say “mushrooms”.
However viewers have been fast to hit again on the advert, accusing the agency of copying the viral video “badger, badger, mushroom”.
One Twitter person wrote: “Should you assume stealing one thing with out compensating I’m positive you look ahead to us all stealing your nuggets from the Asdas?”
Whereas one other mentioned: “Shameless rip-off. See you in quort!”
The badger tune creator, Jonti Selecting, identified on Twitter as "the weebl", described the video as a “blatant rip off.”
He wrote: “Hello. Who do I contact in regards to the blatant ripping off of my copyrighted work this time?”
Quorn have since responded, saying: "Hey, right here at Quorn, we're HUGE followers of yours and the long-lasting Badger, Badger, Badger (it’s been caught in our head since 2003).
“Should you may please ship us a DM along with your finest e mail deal with and telephone quantity, we will chat in additional element.”
