That little wipe who buys his mum a Pandora necklace - I fucking detest him
No one would look twice at Joe Wilkinson and Keira Knightly as a couple if they weren’t famous
Aldi’s carrot marriage one is awful. ‘Kev, you’re his best man! We’re getting married tomorrow!’ is the most egregious exposition dump of the year. Hope all the carrots die.
Feels good to get this off my chest
Raye and that annoying kid playing Donkey Kong, NO.
Just the ten pints today?
They’re trying far too hard to make Kevin the Carrot something that people care about. It’s not gonna happen.
I guess Waitrose couldn’t afford Keira Knightley’s actual celebrity husband, James from the Klaxons
Can’t stand the Sainsbury’s BFG one. Doesn’t work on any conceivable level.
Why are the evil giants stealing food, not children? Why is Sainsbury’s pretending they replace stolen food for free? Why does Sainsbury’s have a helicopter to capture evil giants?
I think this is this year’s thing: CGI slop
Absolute shite the lot of them
The Puss in Boots one goes on FOREVER - has about 5 different scenes and locations, introduces loads of characters in the penultimate scene, ends in a random dance number??? Get in the bin.
I’m not detesting the Tesco ‘Christmas is shit’ campaign.
Don’t think I’ve seen any of these yet but this one sounds intriguing
The guy who says Argos just does toys makes me irrationally angry
John Lewis plagiarised the most heartbreaking scene in Aftersun and made it shite
I don’t even get that one. Nobody thinks Argos is “the toy place”, if anything they know it for the catalogue and nothing else. If anyone thinks Argos is “just toys” it’s because they’ve spent the last few years advertising themselves with toys.
The Aftersun John Lewis one is weird, my favourite is probably the Asda Grinch. Solid, simple concept well executed
People keep saying it’s about toxic masculinity and building a bridge but it’s not really saying anything about it and I wouldn’t have gotten that if it hadn’t been written about in articles or whatever. As it stands it’s literally just Aftersun but pointless cause the dad isn’t even fuckin dead
I like Christmas but hate most Christmas ads as they’re usually terrible
Little prick who gets his dog to help sniff out what he’s getting for Xmas. (Smyths)
Does it turn out he’s getting a kilo of heroin?
No, but his parents hate him so much they’ve planted a bomb in the house and snuck out.
What irks me about the Waitrose advert is that Keira is still called Keira in the advert, but Joe is called “Phil”
