Alis girls Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Love em or hate em its that time of year again. I love the Waitrose one where they have a speeded up version of Jingle bells so they can get to the chocolate mince pies. I like the Boots one too. Elton Johns as much as I like him as a musician I dont get it. Anyone got a favourite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Have only seen the Iceland one on this side of the pond. (BBC doesn’t do commercials...) Will have to google the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I do quite like the Sainsbury one and think the John Lewis one with Elton John is somehow quite sweet and touching. He is not my favourite musician, but the message is strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandmashazzie Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Wish I could do the clicky link business. The best I have seen is the tear jerking £50 Christmas ad. Big retails take note, you don’t need to spend hundreds of thousands of pounds. If you google it,it will come up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soapdragon Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I have to admit that there are no ads that have really 'done it' for me this year. All a bit disappointing really - bah humbug! Usually there is at least one outstanding one but, for me, not this time round. Or maybe I'm just getting old, cynical and jaded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandmashazzie Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Aw, that’s lovely Cats Tails. I was just thinking of my mum today. Christmas as you get older changes, too many empty seats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvachicken Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I was going to suggest the KFC advert but wasn't sure how well it would go down being about eating chicken. I really like the hedgehog advert though Cat tails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 Love the one with the mum and daughter working together. I assume she's a ghost. Yes I agree too many empty seats. Friends become family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 These are the only two ads I've seen! I haven't even heard Noddy Holder - that's a plus! Love both ads though, even if one was sad and spooky in a nice way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Mrs Fussy has found one that she does like! The Waitrose one where they all set off down the drive for a bracing, snowy Boxing Day walk only to turn round at the gate and head back inside for something delicious, sweet and squidgy (from Waitrose, of course!) whilst remarking on what a great walk they have had and how they have worked up an appetite!

Valkyrie Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 What! Do they not have chickens and therefore trudge down the garden in the wind, rain and mud? Now that would work up an appetite!😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all of the Waitrose adverts have been quite funny - singing their Christmas carols as fast as possible to get to the mince pies and then the charades one they have sped up too and guess the first word which is guessed correctly - not. Bit disappointed though that the passion fruit and raspberry pavlova has all sold out ...... yes, I know I could make my own but ................

soapdragon Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Ohh, didn't see the carols one but laughed at the switching on the lights one where the mayoress(?) hit the button on the count of 7 to get to the (Waitrose) canapes as quickly as poss!
