Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh.

Rubbish.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

This is not a thing. The coca cola truck ad is a thing, hearing the first Xmas song on the radio is a thing, knitted jumpers are even a thing.

John lewis is not a thing. John lewis can fùck off. Its the 10th of November!

As if the majority of GAA lovin', haven't left my county inbreds know what stores exist in the UK. If you haven't been in a John Lewis fire hazard maze store before they "did xmas ads" then f*ck off.

Saw a tweet about this ad. Was so disappointed when I went to YouTube.

Say Your Number

What's the story with the hype about these ads here, is there even a John Lewis store in this country? I'd never heard of them before people were going on about their ads last year.

Not going to watch. These things have no christmas magic and are grey and depressing. John Lewis & John Tesco can f**k off

I love those ads. My old sentimental heart swells. Now I'm off to look up youtube for more.

Major let-down this year.

Selfish dog. No moral message. Dad that ruins Christmas for kids everywhere by showing that there is no Santa.

I think coz last year's one was so grim and depressing they decided on something "upbeat" this year and came out with this innocuous forgettable shyte.

Bring back the ESB ad!

But but but....why did the man make the trampoline and not santa?

Of course it's a present from the kids parents, not from Santy

Some superstore should ask Joe Dante to make a Christmas ad with The Gremlins thrashing the shop for two minutes like they did to that pub in the first film. Modern christmas ads are way too much zero craic

1 million to make, 6 million for ad alots.

The advert, shot entirely on a set made to look like an townhouse in Black Island studios in London, cost around £1m to make and features CGI versions of bouncing Buster, foxes, badgers, squirrels and hedgehogs.

The upmarket department store is spending a further £6m on TV slots, including its debut screening at 9.15pm tonight and recreating a virtual reality version in its flagship Oxford Street store.

I had heard about the ad all day and came home from work, turned on laptop 'Come on kids, lets all watch the Xmas ad together' - Boy was I sorry. :mad::mad:

Very very 'confusing' for kids who believe in Santa - I hope they only screen it after 9pm on TV

(And it wasn't great either) - Don't let your young kids see it!!

Some kid came up with a better ad than that.

Most black people living in the U.K. would tend not to ship at John Lewis.

I think some of the dislike for the ad is covert racism

Is there any suggestion though that the trampoline is from Santa?

This is why I fekkin hate Christmas.

FGS what is the actual problem here? An ad by a company that has no presence here AT ALL.

This is just getting ridiculous now, and I can't wait for 27th December, the day the turkey carcass gets thrown out, and normal service resumes.

What??? This is Ireland. If you think people who didn't know about John Lewis before they did the Xmas ads are all inbred rednecks, you can do the same!

You throw the turkey carcass out on the 27th? Thats when it goes into the pot to make the stock for the soup, curry etc etc etc

I love the Christmas solstice party, few days off, partying and drinking with your mates all night and day. But these mega grocery shop ads are a total grey depression session. And they're the shops for christsakes, they sell the booze and the food that fuels the indulgence, they're not the sermon at mass preaching about some lonely man living on the moon or how you should remember your dead granny. Just tell me what deals you have for large bottles of rum John lewis tesco

osarusan

Fair play to John Lewis for making this a 'thing' that people wait for and look forward to.

A feckin Trampoline for Christmas, asked no-one ever

Dirty Dingus McGee

Does John Lewis exist in Ireland?

The only way I've ever heard about it is because of the Christmas ad they run.

alexonhisown

Ahhh i love this years john lewis ad, put a smile on my face anyway

The_Valeyard

You call that a Christmas ad???

These are the Christmas Ads

The penguin was the best.

IIRC, Pingu gets drunk at the office party and gets it on with the receptionist.

Then, the following year ,Pingu is hiding out on the moon because the child support agency are after him.

Why are so few people Bah Humbugs?

27th December and a turkey carcass for the bin, is my cue that the madness is all over.

The sooner the better.
