Probably In Wrong Category

and should be in adverts but does anyone else think the Christmas adverts are abysmal this year - especially the Sainsburys one? The best thing is the skating polar bears which I thought was a better one till I realised it was a trailer for Dancing on Ice.

did a thread on the BBC one which people seem to rather like, about being together as a family, oneness.. I like the waitrose one all those people stuck in a pub until they get rescued, which they don't want to at all.

To be honest, as I rarely watch commercial TV, I miss most adverts of any kind. I did like the BBC one though....very much.

its growing on me.. ^^^

Loved the polar bear advert.Very inventive.

TBH I don't 'get' most of the ads these days, especially the ones for perfume. They don't make any sense! I must be honest though, I'm really fed up with the charity ads. If I gave to every one I'd be needing charity!

[anotheoldgit]

I get fed up with the togetherness of them, mixed race marriages, Black people and Muslims, we all know that diversity is the latest trend, but surely there are other races such as the Chinese and other religions such as the Jews?

[mikey4444]

I was wondering when some one was going to bring up the race angle......didn't have to wait very long after all.

'twas ever thus

They make it so obvious all the time, it was never so.

Not one of them makes me feel good this year, there again nothing was ever going to beat the trampolining boxer. Just LOVED that ad.

AOG...why shouldn't they ?

Everybody who has posted about the BBC advert has said that they like it, but have seen no need to mention that the man and his daughter are probably not white.

Why did you see the need ?

Good for you if you can tell a person is Jewish just by his or her appearance, AOG. What gives it away?

[albaqwerty]

seldom watch ITV, so have missed loads of ads (thankfully)
Like the BBC trailer ad type thingy.

Mr Alba passionately dislikes the Coca-cola 'holidays are coming advert'

[mikey4444]

hc....lol !

[hc4361]

I hate that one too, alba

[Bazile]

I like the jingle in the House Of Fraser ad

I never mentioned the BBC advert, in fact I don't even think that I have seen it, not to mention that the man and his daughter are probably not white.

I too, am not a fan of the Coca Cola advert.

By the way, there is strong evidence that Coca Cola is responsible for Father Xmas looking the way he does :::

I like the Tesco one where the gormless teenage son asks "what's for dinner" when the whole festive spread is in front of him. Exactly the sort of daft thing my grandson would come out with.

[mikey4444]

Horselady....A friend of mine has to make egg and chips on Xmas Day, for her somewhat ungrateful 15 year old son, as there is nothing in a traditional Xmas lunch that he will eat ! Not even roast potatoes..... I can just imagine my Mother doing that 50 years ago !

Mikey, your friend has made a rod for her own back.
