An early starter for 2022 and our annual crop of adverts. Lets see if we get any memorable ones this time around. Expect this thread to be reasonably slow until we pass the Nov.1st threshold but theres always a few international ones popping up early.
Yep tears from me!
Yeah same I was well over Kevin a few years ago, but I'm enjoying the parodies.
Thought last years Ebanana scrooge was good to be fair, but this one is a wee bit better... Genuinely thought they had jumped the shark with Kevin before last years advert was launched but to be fair they've had a couple of good un's!!
Best Kevin one in years!
Loved that one, authentic and goes to show you don't need a massive budget to make a great ad!
I saw the 'home-alone' theme ad from Aldi yesterday once, Keven the carrot and all. seems ok.
I really liked the one from the Welsh hardware store (I think!!) from a few years ago.
H&M
Burberry
Argos
o2
ebay
Zavvi
Etsy
Echo what everyone is saying about the John lewis ad.
Spar a winner for me. Macy D's is s good one too
I preferred the ones like The Journey, The Long Wait, or even the Bear and the Hare... the simpler and happier ones- not the contrived sanctimonious/tearjerker ones.
John Lewis one is absolutely useless this year. But I never liked any of their ads so maybe I'm not the person to comment 🤣
I think my favourite one this year is actually the Spar one.
I'm probably guilty of holding new ads to too high a standard and compare them to the Guinness, Bud, Coke etc iconic ads and not judge them solely on their own merits.
While better than John Lewis again this year. I just felt it a bit forced. Maybe I’m getting old and grouchy 😂😂😂
McDonalds
i get what they are trying to do and say with that John Lewis advert, but nope doesn't feel christmasy
Oh no. That's done nothing for me, sorry. 😑
Exactly, take the christmas tree out of the background and that advert could be set at any time throughout the year. (do love the song chosen, but the original by blink 182 is far superior)
Much much preferred last years advert.
Now lets see what McDonalds do!!
Not a Christmas ad but Christmas ad related...😥
I think that their ads have become so iconic that they are under pressure to "do the right thing" and they've now become a victim of their own success if you know what I mean. I don't dislike it but would like if they went back to the older type ones as they used to be great.
I'm going to wait until after work until I can give it a proper viewing. I remember thinking that the trampoline one was pretty un-Christmassy too the year it was out; I'd associate kids playing on a trampoline more with the summer!
I literally came on to post the exact same thing. This could be set at anytime of the year and it would mean the same.
Didn’t like it at all.
I'll put my hands up, I don't like the John Lewis one. Its not a christmas advert IMO.
Im not crying your crying
