    It is almost Munster Rugby's GPO. :) There wasn't any trouble though.

    Why do you sign off every post with "Regards...jmcc"?

    Smugness would be more accurate I think.

    I haven't had a TV for a few years now and my god am I smug about it.

    I think a comment like that is more appropriate in the "Adverts you despise" thread, TBH... :o;)

    That's a bit harsh. :o

    JMCC can sign off all his posts with "Regards...jmcc" if he/she wants to. :)

    That Vodafone office ad is good. I like it anyway.

    Always chuckle at the little kid shouting "that's my boy" at his father in that ad for some car with a new safety feature :D

    Is it just me or does that banjo playing Canary look very sinister.

    Also to reiterate, I don't know how anyone could like that Vodafone sh1te.

    John Lewis Christmas Advert 2014 - Monty The Penguin





    What struck me most about the advert was the fact the little boy not only twigged the loneliness of his pet penguin and decided to do something about it, but he done so knowing full well that it would lead to the loss of his best friend to its new companion, so he offset that dilemma by acquiring two cuddly toy penguins for himself to help soften his own loss. If only the real world was so unselfish?

    I don’t know if John Lewis creates those adverts in house or outsources them, either way; a lot of thought goes into them and I can't recall ever seeing a bad one.

    The bear and rabbit ad they had with Lily Allen singing "Somewhere only we know" was absolutely horrendous last year

    And before that one was the one with the snowman and "The Power Of Love"-frankly I find all of them depressing.

    My fave Xmas ad is the Guinness ad "....even at the home of the black stuff,we dream of a white one".

    My feelings might change about this after I'll be exposed to it for the next month but right now I really like that Spar ad.

    The Guinness ad with Munster beating the All Blacks in 1978. (Great to have been there.)

    Regards...jmcc

    I hate that ad. Guinness trying to take ownership of something they had nothing to do with. what next, they have an ad featuring the Apollo moon mission?

    Off to the hated ads thread

    Anyone know what the song/singer is in the new 3 advert? It's a lovely song with a beautiful piece of music played by violins at the end of the ad. Googled it but no luck

    Still better than many of the Guinness ads here on the Emerald Isle - although that isn't difficult. :o:o:D;)

    Just saw this on tv and came on to post about it.

    Laughed out loud when I saw it.

    Edit: I feel I should mention that a Snickers makes f*ck all difference if you are actually hungry.

    Ehhh maybe I'm on my own here but that's not at all how I read this ad. There was no real penguin and the boy did not decide to give it away to be with another penguin. That was all his imagination. He had a toy penguin and wanted a friend for it so he asked Santa for another penguin to be company for his own. I mean who the hell would have a pet penguin in their house! :confused: Of course maybe I just read too much into this and should take it exactly as it was shown! :o
