    I actually like the sauna sainsbury as. Yes it’s bleak but it’s simple and the twist at the end is nice.

    Can't understand the hate for the Boots ad. I love it!


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,790 ✭✭✭appledrop


    Brown Thomas ad all the beautiful people.....Yawn

    Is the brown Thomas one meant to be murder on the Orient express or whatever? A good concept but falls flat. I like that intersport one.

    Is that what it Is? Couldn't make any sense of it. Didn't like it. Seemed a bit lame tbh.

    BT one is just a bit...meh. Is that Gerry fish in it?

    Best I can say is I enjoyed the train going through the snow.

    The marks and Spencer’s jumper one is absolute rubbish.

    But the worst of them all is a toss up between boots and selfridges. Both abysmal.

    Out of all the ad's i've watched this year, I'm really liking the Very ad.

    I love the John Lewis and the McDonald's ones

    I don't see the McDonald's one yet actually so will post

    Tesco’s ad had dropped and it’s a good one. I really like it. It’s really Christmassy.

    Agreed best Christmas add so far, MacDonalds one good, not so keen on the John Lewis one,(edit must have only seen half of john lewis add first time, not to bad if abit long).

    Manor (Swiss department store): The Elves and the Stork



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,065 ✭✭✭otnomart


    Great to finally see the Tesco one, after reading the concept in September !
    It is good fun.

    I am changing (again) my ranking for award category "cheeky ad" and currently would give that award to Intersport France and their Fit Santa. Runners up for that same category are now HP and Orange France.
    Really like Mc Donald's - they are now runners up for both categories "Best Animation" and "Best father and daughter(s)".

    In the "Cute pets" category are the baby owl in Migros Switerland and the Subaru USA rescue dogs and cats.

    Agree with both of you,

    I think they were trying a "Literary ad" on the lines of the Dunnes/Christmas Carol ad, but the result was poor.


    Actually, Luxury brands in my opinion have issues in producing successful Christmas adverts; maybe they believe their Customers (current or potential) can not relate to a traditional idea/memory of Christmas. And with this wrong assumption, they get the ads wrong.

    For example: the Burberry ad last year, and this year: Selfridges and BT.


    Of all the Luxury brands ads this year, my favourite so far is Polo Ralph Lauren (the one with actors - as opposed to the RL ad with the teddy bear).

    Was McDonald's posted on here?

    I don't think so, I caught the end of it on live tv last night, very cute but I think it's similar to one they've done before.

    I'm surprised the Coca Cola ad hasn't made an appearance this year yet, or has anyone else spotted it?

    I only thought that myself last night I've yet to spot it, I do think they hold off closer to December each month.

    Same with the Guinness advert, pretty sure it only makes an appearance in December. Have never seen it earlier, at least not that I can remember anyway.

    Once I see that advert though, then i KNOW its christmas! :D

    I love the Guinness ad it gives me goosebumps every time there something so special about it, when I lived at home my late aunt would call out if I was in the other room and I would dash in to catch a glimpse of it
