Kenyans on social media have expressed mixed reactions most of which was disappointment and anger after popular comedian Eric Omondi was featured in an advert for Snickers chocolate.
In the video, Eric Omondi is a motivational speaker who is addressing a secondary school.
The video begins with the comedian wearing a dress and behaving ladylike but when he is given the chocolate at the end he turns back into a man.
A section of the netizens has claimed the advert was promoting gender discrimination and chauvinism in the society. The netizens argued that the advert insinuated that the male gender is more superior than the female gender; something which is not right.
The cyber-citizens who believed the video lacked humour criticized the advert for lacking creativity and instead promoting a wrong perception.
A group of the netizens also termed the advert as embarrassing. According to them, the content was not funny but instead created a bad picture of the Company that produces snickers chocolate and Eric Omondi himself as a brand.
In the recent days Eric Omondi has gone viral for his Lato Milk advert which many termed it as being extremely creative. Tables have now turned with the latest advert receiving heavy criticism.
Eric Omondi has not officially responded to the criticism.
Here are some of the reactions on Twitter;
