[Politics] John Lewis Christmas/Winter Ad

[Greg Bobkin]

Outrage from people who are offended by retailers' Christmas adverts seems to get earlier every year (The Twatter people, not NSC, that is.)

Has anyone seen Stranger Things? Feels like they ripped off Eleven and Mike's Alien/human relationship.

Anyway, the advert is sh!te (in my humble opinion)

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

I found it particularly touching the way the alien vaporised the lad for insulting the name of Thawd the Superior, King of the Udd and Revenger of the Splooks. Serves the lad right.

An accurate depiction of Boris's Britain I'd say. An aircraft falls from the sky on Christmas Day and yet there's not an ambulance, police car, fire engine in sight. At least the bus driver turned up for work.

I'd see if I could grab a lift back to the alien planet.

One of the weaker ones imo.
Why choose Aliens as the subject matter?
Is the Govt preparing us for an invasion?

Another song destroyed by a crap cover. Every year

I would hazard a guess its a cheesy metaphor for learning to respect unfamiliar cultures in todays divisive world?

The Alien comes from Hastings you know, well the actress does

Was a bit underwhelmed by it TBH compared to previous years.

But it's upset all these weapons so I love it for that reason;

You are the type that hound university lecturers from their job, yeah?

 

[Brighthelmstone]

Poor effort this year, much preferred the M&S one so far.

Xmas set to a beautiful stripped back version of Electric Dreams.

For a moment you had me hoping John Lewis had used the truly wonderful Lali Puna version, but, no, it’s just some bland warbling cover.

Ah, the joys of double time.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Disappointed that the Alien isn't diverse otherwise jolly good

Yes how did the alien ( david Bowie) know how to kiss the young lad or if it was an affectionate thing to do?

Or are we all over thinking this! It’s just telly selly time

I mean I’d probably have remembered doing that TBH if I had

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

People waiting in great anticipation for a Christmas advert, it's pathetic.
GMB this morning stopped a serious political discussion because they had just got 15 seconds of the Ad and played it.
Motormouth Garraway was nearly sobbing, they then continued discussing it for ages.
What is happening to people.

WTF ?

It's them that's brought the skin colour thing up.

I was scratching my head to find the 'woke'.

 

[Eeyore]

Apparently the Aliens are complaining now because there only seems to be representation from the planet Gammon.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

By far the shittest John Lewis Xmas ad ever
