Yes! That is the advert I was talking about on another thread. I think it is brilliant, so much hard work went into it.

Also the JL spoof is laugh out loud funny.

yeah me too.....LOL

Yes quite like that one Gwynne :-)

I have a new favourite

Not seen a Lidl spoof, just an Aldi spoof which is quite amusing

not forgetting the Lidl spoof/JL ad..... :-D


edited could be Aldi............

I like the Vodaphone one, with the turkey who does NOT get roasted :-D

It does remind me though of the turkey that used to chase me when I was young, he was a fearsome creature who charged across the farmyard when we went to get the milk from the 'safe'

:-D

They've got you all 'talking'.....isn't that the objective ;-)

Not a Christmas ad, but I am impressed with the young lady using Amazon Prime who has installed the horse flap within a few hours of it arriving.

...... and then the usual truck one with the familiar music, only this year it features a member of the public driving the red truck.

Always a little difference each year but not so much as it to be indistinguishable from previous year's ads.

Whoaaaa :-D

See this year's Coca Cola CHRISTMAS 2015 ad on YouTube. It's happy, uplifting and MINUS the familiar tune. The notes are reminiscent of the usual tune and one keeps expecting the full tune to burst forth.

They've foxed us here but I still like it.

They're clever (M)ad men. :-D

Bring back the old M & S one with all the decent actors at a party wearing M & S party clothes. I loved those adds and ones that showed a decent Christmas time.

The food adds from the frozen food shop are quite good too

LOL Lyndi

there are many technical errors in that advert, but hey............who's counting???LOL

The amount of money that has been spent is in my opinion obscene.

I liked the ads before I read this article. Now I'm not so sure.

If however there is money being given to charity then that would be a different matter.
Sainsbury's have some connection to save the Children I believe.

I do chuckle at Mog and had not heard of the books before.

I think you are right about that Bob - someone told me (so could be fiction!) there was some connection with Age UK.
It really bothered four year old granddaughter, who was worried that there really was just one old man living alone on the moon! :-(
I hate most of the adverts this year but have to confess that as a fan of Mog the Cat I have bought the book in Sainsbury's with the story of their advert. ;-)

I think the J L advert is aimed at not forgetting the older, maybe vulnerable rellies or lonely folk.......

not necessarily astronomy

I find the house of Frazer one very aggressive and total mystery as to it's connection with Christmas. All other Xmas ads are appauling and irritating this year too. :-| :-| :-|

Bah Humbug ;-)

My favourite one is Coca Cola, they don't have to
change anything for me, like it how it is.

As much as I have seen of the Cadbury trucks advert
my advise to them, leave it to the experts like C Cola :-D
