[PeterT]

Stand aside John Lewis, I think this one wins!

£700 and a friendly dog: how a bar in Enniskillen made this year’s best Christmas ad

The tearjerking video has won widespread praise – including from John Lewis, the retailer renowned for its festive campaigns

Definitely the best one I have seen this year.

Splendid.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Lovely job.

And it's an advert than actually works as I now want to go to a pub.




In fairness most of the time I'm awake I want to go to a pub.



And sometimes when sleeping I dream about going to a pub

 

[TomandJerry]

Lovely advert, simple but heart warming.

 

[portslade seagull]

Enjoyed that

....

Nice, but nothing special...

Only me?

Better than the shit the supermarkets put together.

Pubs > Supermarkets.

 

[HeaviestTed]

Christmas advertising can go and f*** off. Then once it has f***ed off it can go and f*** itself up the arse before finally f***ing off.

Pub looks grim.

Giant TV screens everywhere.

If that’s the sort of pub you seek out when you go somewhere as rich in pub culture as Enniskillen, you deserve to get stuck with the lonely old bore on Christmas Eve in front of a massive TV screen with a pint of ice cold Guinness.

Nice, but nothing special...

Only me?

Overly sentimental and not helpful to recovering alcoholics.

There are clearly some whose sleep might get disturbed the night before Christmas ….

I may be biased. I put my head down and hope Christmas passes by without too much fuss.

Commercialised nonsense.

I'd avoid eating or drinking in any pub that allows dogs to jump onto the furniture.

Or let’s lonely old wankers in. Buzzkill.

I tend to put the big supermarket ads in the same bucket as the brands who jump all over Pride for one weekend a year - cynical and opportunistic

But a lonely old man in a pub with a small dog? Sign me the f**k up, grab those heartstrings and yank 'em.

For those who found it all a bit sickly, it’s all relative and there are other things out there that really would make you physically sick:

Well I loved it. Didn't make me want to go to a/the pub, but I think it sends an important message about people who are on their own and how to treat them. When walking the dog, I often make an effort to say hello to people (especially elderly) I see because, in some cases, I might be the only person they have contact with during the day. You'd be surprised the lift it can give them...

I take issue with the fella drinking 0.0 Guinness in an Irish pub, though – and that's as a non-drinker myself
