Swear Bear! People Think There's A Hidden F-Bomb In 'Paddington' Christmas Ad
Some people believe a new Christmas ad featuring beloved children’s character Paddington includes a four-letter word other than “bear.”
The spot for U.K. retailer Marks & Spencer features Paddington mistaking a burglar for Santa Claus.
Typical Paddington high jinks ensue, and by the end the burglar ― whom Paddington still believes to be Santa ― seems to have discovered the true meaning of Christmas.
“Thank you, little bear,” he says.
Some believe the faux Santa didn’t say “thank you” but rather a phrase that would almost certainly put him on the naughty list:
You'll never unhear this! 😂 🔊

Big fan of Santa saying ‘Fuck You little Bear’ to Paddington in the M&S Christmas advert. Put the marmalade obsessed little prick firmly in his place.

But not everyone hears the burglar swear at the bear:
I just heard thank you, nothing else. Couldn’t work out what the naught word was supposed to be. Very strange over reaction from adults.

#thismorning genuinely never heard "fuck you, little bear" on the marks & sparks Crimbo advert and I'm an expert at hearing what I want to hear, especially if it's rude. It's must've happened, I've matured 😭😭😭 pic.twitter.com/3ruPhvoJLo

I don't get it - all I can hear is "thank you little bear" - what are we SUPPOSED to be hearing?

It sounds exactly like he’s saying “Oh, thank you little bear”. It doesn’t sound like anything else at all. Idiots. #ThisMorning

Anyone who hears "Thank you little bear" as anything else on the #MarksAndSpencer #ChristmasAdvert needs to go to @Specsavers - they do hearing aids now as well as glasses. 🤨
