Daily Mail Australia story gets Katy Perry Menulog ad that ‘RUINED State of Origin’ pulled off air

NRL fans were left furious when Katy Perry’s Menulog ad played during every ad break in State of Origin game one – but they were spared a repeat in the second interstate clash thanks to a Daily Mail Australia story.

The food delivery giant instead went with a campaign featuring legendary Queensland player Wendell Sailor sleeping and brushing his teeth – with the commercial beginning with a grab of our article about fans blasting its predecessor.

Headlined, ‘Footy fans are left fuming over Katy Perry’s ‘ANNOYING’ Menulog commercial that played during every ad break: ‘Officially ruined State of Origin’, the story featured fans slamming the TV spot.

Menulog heard footy fans loud and clear thanks to a Daily Mail Australia article that was front and centre on their new State of Origin ad campaign on Sunday night

The food delivery giant’s previous ad featuring Katy Perry got viewers offside in a big way, so they decided to go in a completely different direction this time 

‘I’ve seen more of Katy Perry tonight than I have of Nathan Cleary,’ one user said, tongue in cheek.

Another commented: ‘Katy Perry and her Menulog ad has officially ruined State of Origin.’

One fan even joked that ‘watching Katy Perry dance and sing as a block of cheese every ad break forced me to take up heroin’.

The pop star, who was dressed in a series of bright and eccentric outfits, sang about different foods throughout the loud and vibrant clip.

Menulog owned up to their mistake in the new commercial, which was a radical departure from their first effort

Instead of an in-your-face experience with Perry singing about different types of food, they went with footage of Queensland Origin legend Wendell Sailor brushing his teeth and sleeping

Menulog’s efforts for game two were the complete opposite, with Sailor shown brushing his teeth and even sleeping.

The footage was prefaced with captions reading: ‘Dear Origin fans, seemed we overcooked it in Game 1. Whoops. Please enjoy 16 seconds of Wendell Sailor brushing his teeth instead.’

But the change wasn’t enough for one footy fan who tweeted, ‘This Wendell Sailor ad might be the worst thing I’ve ever seen.’ 

Menulog responded by tweeting, ‘Geez, can’t win with you lot, can we? We wanted to do something a bit more chill for game 2. Big Dell is a chill guy. Makes sense to us.’
