[Misc] John Lewis Christmas ad 2016

[Biscuit Barrel]

I like it. People desperate to slag it off to a) be different and b) post more crap about 2016 is shit

I thought the add was rubbish. I think 2016 has been excellent. Maybe I just want to be different.

Too. Bloody. Early. Humbug

I think it pretty much summarises everything that is wrong with modern society when people get excited about an advert.

I actively avoid adverts on the tellybox, I'm a notorious flicker. I don't really "get" people looking out for ads. One of my mates wives on FB practically CREAMS herself when the christmas Coke ad appears.

No tears, so didn't work for me.

The price of puppies will be soaring now.

And they'll all be at the bottom of canals in brick weighted sacks come March.

I like it, not as sentimental as in previous years and I think that's because they chose the wrong type of dog. They should have gone with a labrador puppy.

8/10

The snowman was a 10/10, the bear and the hare a 10/10, the penguins a solid 9, and the man on the moon an 8. They are sliding.

I'd agree that snowman was the high water mark for JL Xmas ads. I'd put both hare/penguins at a 9 and moon at around 6, which makes this something of a return to form.

Is it weird that in a year that has seen Donald Trump elected President I find the most depressing thing to be how people get excited over an advert?

 

[MattBackHome]

Of the adverts that are currently out I'd say that only John Lewis and Very have hit the mark.

That Argos on with the weird coloured monsters on skates is execrable. The Tesco one I linked on Page 1 is even worse.

I'm not advertising guru, but I'm fairly certain that was not the intention.

Not a fan of the John Lewis one, I'm afraid, although marketing-wise it's worked a treat.

I like this one for the pure sillyness:



And this one for the soundtrack:

Let me know her address and when your mate is out I will stand outside the house singing 'holidays are coming, holidays are coming.... '

Not to mention frozen hedgehogs, who should be hibernating. Aside from that, I like it.

That's a very good point , the hedgehog in the advert must have been paid a huge sum of mashed up bread and milk to stay awake that long through a John Lewis advert .

Bread and milk is very bad for hedgehogs.

Leave out dog food for them, please

Over to you Sainsbury's!

Ah ,that would explain the lack of returning spikers , to my bijou patio .

shyte....should have got her a pair of football boots.

Should have shown the father with a shotgun taking potshots at the foxes as they jumped up and down

Humbug!

I'm indifferent about the ad, but I will say the best version of 'One Day I'll Fly Away' is the original version by Randy Crawford. Broad daylight comes second. Part of the tune is an (uncredited) interpolation of Tchaikovsky's 'Waltz of the Flowers'. So there.
