I could not watch the Rocky Horror film and this is surely a take off. Revolting things stories about plants which eat or strangle people and if they include next year squid or clowns that’s me done.

Haven’t seen any of them I must blank out automatically when the adverts come on 🤣
I have seen the old gals sledging but didn’t know it was a Christmas advert 🤣

Haven’t seen it.

I like the Morrisons one and the Very one.

Not their finest can’t say I like it

It was the glam Janet Mcteer. MS 2016. I have just watched it again. Lovely almost brought a tear.

Loving the Amazon Xmas ad. Found the JL one weird but enjoyable
😉

Bring back the animals on the garden trampoline. Or the MS Mrs Santa Claus played by the lovely glamorous actress whose name escapes me.

Amazon is best of a bad bunch I feel.

Joseann Thu 09-Nov-23 15:16:38

I suppose JL wanted to do something a bit different this time, but I'm not overly impressed.
I think the Amazon one is good.

NotSpaghetti Thu 09-Nov-23 14:24:15

... am I the only one bothered about the gloves?

It’s amusing but where are the males?

That’s what DP always says, that men are being written out of ads and dramas.😁
I tell him that we’re just prettier and wittier.

Didn’t like it. Give me Kevin the carrot any day.

😂

It's a Yes from me too ..
Bet the Dog was glad the "Tree" was put in the garden!
Thought the Waitrose one a bit insipid this year.

But isn't cruelty to venus fly traps to put them out in the snow and cold?

They’ll regret not taking it to the tip when that little dog doesn’t come in after its run round the garden.

Well I like the Amazon Ad.
I have photos of me with one grandson and Dh with other sledging down a big hill in the snow . 🛷 🛷
Will be doing it again if it snows ❄️🌨️

My grandsons like Venus fly traps , I had one a few years ago in our conservatory.

But isn't cruelty to venus fly traps to put them out in the snow and cold? 🥶 ❄️🌨️

The M&S Christmas mittens ad is bonkers.

Boz Thu 09-Nov-23 11:35:07

What is the M&S ad. saying; trash Xmas decorations and booze instead?

Scribbles Thu 09-Nov-23 11:27:03

I neither love it nor loathe it. I just think it's weird.

annodomini Thu 09-Nov-23 11:26:28

It made me laugh. JL's best since the bouncing boxer pup.

FannyD Thu 09-Nov-23 11:14:03

Really love it! Made me smile. Love the music too.

TerriBull Thu 09-Nov-23 10:46:19

Clever! I really like it, prefer it to M&S's smile

JL's are having a month long Black Friday in November with certain departments such as beauty and perfume, some electricals offering 20% off!
