Oh..... my....... I have no idea how I just found this little gem.....

In every actor's career, they end up doing some weird stints. Yes, here's our favorite Martin, doing a tv ad for Super Noodles over a decade ago. So.... cutely young! So.... strange! So.... I really have no idea! I couldn't even laugh at first, I was just staring at the screen in what-in-the-world amazement. Enjoy!

Well I liked these ads better than the product!

Simon Pegg's voice?

I used to really like the curried ones, then I used to pep them up, now I just buy actual noodles and do the whole thing from scratch. Noodles, the food of students!

Martin Freeman certainly could be construed as racist in the second advert these days.

No idea, but just thought I'd answer your comment with saying that someone in the comments was sure it was a 'Steve Coogan'? Not familiar, so wouldn't know. I'm just in it for the strange Martin.

His face at the end of the second ad had me doubled over!
So young!

Martin has a gift for being effortlessly funny and adorable
