    Hopefully I am allowed to do this, I know there is an existing (rather large) thread on best & worst TV Adverts on Boards but I thought I would start thread on this years Best & Worst Christmas TV Adverts ifs thats OK with the mods?

    I will start of with:

    Good - Kevin the carrot (whats that Lidl isnt it)

    Bad - the M&S one with mrs santa cluas or whatever it is, Tesco's to the hosts ones

    I see they have wheeled out the same old Jervis shopping centre one again this year , that girl who 'tings' her triangle at the end must be a moody teenager by now? :)

    I see 3 have a new advert this year , a cartoon one where the little girl who got a snow cloud for the last 2 or three Christmases is taking it back now and releasing it back into a cold environment

    Tesco, wtf were they smoking, if they instead had a weekly update on the price of a crate it would have been 100 times better.

    The M&S one is terrible. Santa the poor f*cking eejit all of sudden is a bit crap when it comes to delivering presents so needs his missus to bail him out...in a helicopter. Horrendous.

    The M&S one is horribly insulting too another in the line of "aren't men eejits" adverts.

    Sainsbury's have a great new Christmas ad. Nice message behind it too.

    I don't understand why the Mrs Claus one is seen as sexist? The boy wrote to Mrs Claus which is why she delivered the present, Santa didn't do anything wrong. Did I miss something?

    No, that's it in a nutshell.

    It's the best of the 3 I've seen so far anyway... don't know where the "dig at Santa" notion is coming from either?

    The Sainsbury one posted above would be 2nd in my list.
