Underwhelming. Remake if E T. ?

Agree absolutely- bring back the boxer on the trampoline!

Definitely.

Give the money to a charity instead, all totally obscene and unnecessary
(I never even noticed a sweater with a star? lost on me )

Me neither.
I did notice the mince pie though!

It's just a mince pie

I thought it was lovely.

Been a big backlash of people saying it is too "woke" and "politucal" which is really odd because as far as I am aware, aliens aren't coming here and taking our jobs.... or our mince pies lol

Well, yes, to an extent. A few years ago I wouldn't have even noticed, but all this "woke" business has made me over-aware when watching adverts now. And not always in a good way. I would rather just enjoy the little film and not have to analyse every crumb (mince pie!) for a message.

I liked it. I am a bit of a sucker for a Christmas advert.

I have seen the backlash against it and I still don't see what the backlash people are so cross about.

One of the comments said John Lewis had just put off 97% of its customers with their "woke" nonsense.

He should have said alienated lol

But the backlash is very very silly. It's lovely and I enjoyed it

I try to make it a rule never to watch any Christmas ads.
I think they're all a load of old tripe.

Whooppee missA you took the words right out of my mouth and put it so much more succinctly that I would have
Total sentimental expensive tosh
I d totally respect John Lewis if they gave the equivalent money to a kids orphanage in Africa

OMG! How dull and unseasonal. Whatever happened to just showing a nice joyful Christmas advert. So tired of these adverts with 'messages'. For Goodness' sake, it's supposed to be Christmas ! The Boots one is much better.

I found it predictable

There are so many other adverts on TV that are so annoying to the point that I will mute the audio whilst they are on. I don't have to do that to this one.

Its been on a lot the last couple of days, and every time I think what is the point of the ad?

Well I just see it as another company trying to show as many black ppl has possible so ppl don’t think they are racist. But I do like the M&S one with dawn french found it fun to watch

shysal

That video is showing an old one! Try again.

That’s what I thought as well but I still loved it

The boxer on the trampoline is the one I’ve just watched following that link I love that one ?

For once I quite like it

Love it... Presume you mean the alien one It made me smile

Now I’ve watched it I don’t think it’s too bad at all but you just cannot be a Boxer and a load of wild animals jumping on a trampoline..?

I agree Shinamae

This one lacks any quirky humour.
I agree that the cost would have been better donated to charity.

I was very surprised when I came across this . I wonder if all these artworks are included in the £8 million

The spoof ones are often much funnier.

Remember this one?

never watch any ads, record everything and fast forward through them. I just can't bear the waste of money on these "spectacular" ads, if they wanted to make a Christmas statement give the million+ pounds to a charity , there are several that due terrific work around Christmas and could make excellent use of the money

What a snore fest. Worst JL ad yet. Save your money JL and give your partners the bonus they deserve!!

Thought it was the worse one yet. How was it a tear jerker. 8 million Im not surprised ex staff are livid I would be too.
