Christmas Adverts

99% of content i consume is on my PC. Haven't sat down in front of the TV for months...

What's quite ironic is having to watch adverts on YouTube before being allowed to watch the John Lewis....er...advert.

That's not ironic, it's just annoying.

I sit down once a week to watch First Dates, yet to see a Christmas advert!

Some show on ITV. Google it. it's pretty awful but it's quite funny at times.

I feel awful for falling for this trap but I'm sorry it's Channel 4 :-(

Yeah, not quite up there but not far off at times.

No no! One doesn't have either Jeremy on (or JK

)

thebennyboy · 15 Nov 2015 at 01:51

I only just noticed i said JC instead of JK. Maybe i should learn to engage my brain.

I've only seen the Mog one,
the cat looked a little odd but it was a good story.

Cosimo · 15 Nov 2015 at 07:08

They're pretty much rubbish this year. Mog is the best and M&S is worst.

MrMoonX · 15 Nov 2015 at 07:12

It's when idiot people post on Facebook that they are crying over the john Lewis ad, wtf is wrong with people

Cosimo · 15 Nov 2015 at 07:49

Got to love him...

McPhee · 15 Nov 2015 at 10:09

Wouldn't be surprised to see more of Mog given the popularity of that advert. Sainsbury's have sold 68,000 of the stuffed toys since Thursday. Most stores have been out of stock since Friday. They only had 100k made. I wouldn't be surprised to see the ones listed for £60 on eBay selling by the end of the week.

Sky+ for everything. No adverts ever.

You can't escape them though?

Just make decent adverts,instead of annoying tosh

Sky + everything you can, I've not seen one yet.

I hate them and this whole trying to out do each other for "best" Christmas TV ad each year.

Take the JL one for example I read it cost 7 million to make and it raises awareness of old people being alone, how about donating a large majority of that money to a charity instead of some BS advert.

My bet is they are not actually crying and just saying it to fit in with the crowd.

The John Lewis one a few years back with the snowman was great because it was the first one like that. But now it's being copied by everyone they are just tedious.

Tbh, Christmas anything before about mid December needs to be killed in the face with fire.
