    Felt we needed a few more to make it last a bit longer and with bit less interest around this one thought I'd step up and throw a few more decent ones in.

    Time for one more?!

    It’s Irish & it’s the SuperValu ad with the black kitty running up the steps & the whole big, chaotic family Christmas prep going on. And the best bit, out of all the best bits is nana not being able to work the remote control.
    Much like I can’t work links!

    Nominations are now closed, I'm counting them now and drawing up the tournament bracket and then we start with the playoffs.

    It's a bit trickier than the others, as it's not clear cut descriptor, like a movie name.

    So transparency purpose, the Ads were ranked by number of noms, where ads had the same number of nominations the older ads ranked higher... last the test of time and all that :)

    Vote for Penneys.

    The New Zealand one doesn't seem like an ad, it's a mini movie or trailer nearly!

    Theres definitely better QS adverts, but I liked the fact this was one that was only used for one christmas season. They other time the graphics were used it had the magic moments song accompanying it.
