John Lewis Christmas advert.

#rubbing SALT ( where tf did Dalton come from? Oh yeah USA....)

All these ads I fear may be rubbing Dalton some very open wounds anyway. They're uppermiddle I come perfect made up family groups with wonderful looking homes and families, no one doing without here or making do with old stuff? Unrealistic and cruel or lush and fantasy?

Tripe.....Hmmmm.....maybe the new "woke" turkey alternative ?? but agree, vanity projects the lot! Agree about donating the costs of these non events to good causes though , maybe show a still of one mince pie, one bauble and one bottle of matey /bar of choc with a pom pom stuck to it, and sounds of distant snowball fight and some sleigh bells? Just a thought!

I am afraid I am left unmoved by this supposed tear-jerker! What a waste of money! What do others think of it?

Call me off the chart but I don't like the idea of young chap meeting anything/anyone in the woods and keeping it secret from the family!?! Are these ads thought up by the new breed of 30/40 something's without children and minds of adolescents? It's rubbish and not thought out properly at-all! Why not have the alien(?) Landing and say sitting in the outside dog kennel in their garden? Or she'd or airing cupboard? Much safer and NO secrets !

Advertisements have the reverse effect on me, won’t buy it.
As Christmassy as Christmas Day on a beach in Benidorm.

I didn’t like the JL ad at all, can’t see the point of it. I’ve just watched the Boots ad though and that did bring a tear to my eye.

As the handsome young actor in the add said once"3years slogging at drama school, and a dog steals the scene....!" It's ok but the song? What IS that caterwauling? Our choir is doing the lily Allen "somewhere only we know" as part of our repertoire this year, I have to sing it about 3 times before I go to choir so I can get all the weeping out of me!!! It's a real hard act to follow!

I don’t like Xmas adverts early November, it’s too soon, then we have them over and over again right up to Xmas until I want to throw something at the tv. With regard to JL, the one I liked was the bear in the woods coming out of hibernation to the Lily Allen song somewhere only we know. None of them have any influence on where I do my Xmas shopping, so to me it’s just a waste of their money which they could use to do some good.

not keen on the john lewis advert and have started to hit the mute button with the m&s advert, neither of these will stick in my head and make me want to buy from them.

Couldn't work out how it was a "Christmas" advert. No reference to Christmas as far as I could see. All the usual christmassy things - trees/stable/angels/presents/santa etc were conspicuous by their absence. Only plus point seemed to be ethnically correct family! (Don't know which ethnic group and don't want to insult them. - a bit like calling a Scot or an Irishman '"English"!)

I think John Lewis set the bar very very very high with the boxer advert and can’t see them easily beating it..

The spoof ones are often much funnier.

Remember this one?

Love it ??

I was very disappointed in the John Lewis ad and not impressed with M& S either. I adored the penguin advert and the wild animals in the woods who woke the bear so he didn’t miss out on Christmas Day ❤️ Bring back the old ones ?

Bring back the boxer and foxes on the trampoline best advert ever , this years John Lewis both not Christmassy to me

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.

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

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

The spoof ones are often much funnier.

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

I agree Shinamae

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

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..?

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

For once I quite like it
