Bloops! Watch brand new funnies from comparethemeerkat.com advert

Immediate release: 24 July 2009

comparethemarket.com has today released its latest set of Bloopers featuring Aleksandr Orlov, the billionaire meerkat made famous by his comparison site comparethemeerkat.com.

Featuring his trusty companion, Sergei, the Bloopers show never-seen-before deleted scenes, including a severe wardrobe malfunction and other filming disasters, and are available to view online at comparethemeerkat.com.

The bloopers resulted from the filming of adverts featuring Aleksandr and his frustration that people are visiting his website by mistake in their quest for cheaper car insurance.

The full adverts still inform consumers on the differences between Aleksandr's website for comparing meerkats, comparethemeerkat.com, and comparethemarket.com, the easy way to save on car insurance.

Since the campaign was launched by comparethemarket.com in January, Aleksandr has gained over 490,000 fans on Facebook (that's 460,015 more than Jonathan Ross!) and over 20,000 followers on Twitter.

Aleksandr Orlov said "Peoples think making my comparethemeerkat.com adverts is pieces of cake but Sergei not natural in front of camera and is often make humiliating mistakes. I have collect his best bloops (and one or two of mine own) to make special outtakes tape guaranteed for laughs"

Watch the bloopers on Aleksandr's website, www.comparethemeerkat.com/my-movies from 24th July and look for them as 'green button' extras on Sky+ from 1st August.
