Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Pure nostalgia. Always makes me a bit teary, and especially during Christmas 2020 when so many people couldn't come home for Christmas.
But... it will be so much more special when people can see their loved ones again and have that hug like the mammy in the ad.
Pure nostalgia 2.0. Can't hear that music without having flashbacks to the childhood excitement of the festive season!
Pure nostalgia 3.0. Loved Budweiser this advert as a child. The music, the horsies, the Christmasiness.

Not sure I've seen it mentioned yet but the ESB ad from the 80's
Then the obvious winner... right - got to be Pennys
Denny - just too cute
Finally, the often overlooked Coca Cola Polar Bears from the 90's

Dare I say it, have we lost our collective appetite for the christmas tournaments!? Or are we all just too busy these days?
Seems so much quieter the last week or so.
Just to clarify as I was not up on the last tournament:o
Is it nominations first ?
Followed then by a short list and then a final vote:D
Or am I all wrong

I think it's more a general drop off in posts across the board. Has gone very quite the last week or so. Not sure if its the good weather, regulars busier or Christmas just not people's mind as much. Probably a combination plus other reasons.
Edit: On a side note, I think which ever one followed the movie one was going to find it hard. The movies one just took off and was hard to even keep up at certain times!Just to clarify as I was not up on the last tournament:o

Yep, you nominate as many ads as you like. The nomination process closes Friday I believe.
All ads are ranked based on the number of nominations and then its into a head to head battle. Everyone votes for one ad and its first one to 4 votes in first round, 5 votes in second etc.0 -

Loving the flurry of new nominations!
I'm going to look back at some of the old 'new' adverts threads and see if I get any more inspiration.
I'm probably forgetting some really obvious adverts!
Once we do a few head to heads, pitting advert against advert in a bitter fight to the death, the excitement will build. :pac:0 -

Two more I've just thought of
Spar- LOVE it! The song, the trees, everything!
The McDonalds advert where McDonalds is closed for Christmas. I think it's a beautiful little ad with a great message they were never brave enough to do again. And it has taken me the guts of a feckin' hour to find a link. :pac:

Have gone through those threads a good few times over the years, shame so many links are dead now though, still theres plenty to stir the memories in there to justify another browse soon!:D"I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year" - Charles Dickens

My eyes were bleeding by the time I found the link!
Edit: Yeah, lots of dead links sadly, but it's nice looking back at the reactions to the new John Lewis ad etc. (Especially the diminishing enthusiasm every year as they fell from grace!)0 -

Thank you for finding the McDonald’s ad. I always talk about it and no one remembers it. I love the sentiment behind it.0 -
