They know their market when it comes to Christmas ads. It nearly got dusty in here.

I don't watch tv so I avoid this crap.
Christmas isn't just for christmas, it's for 2 whole months.
first reply is a misery guts 😆 STW at its finest.
Makes up for last years one with the bear and Lily bloody Allen.
But yes, dusty.
I'm no fan of Christmas in November but, that is indeed another cracker from the masters of the Christmas ad campaign 🙂
Christmas isn't just for christmas, it's for 2 whole months.
I love Christmas- 2 months of it is great!
Very good ad. First christmas as a dad for me. Can't wait.
Nicely shot, produced, graded, composited, flame work etc
Hackneyed sentimental dirge.
Customers and client will love it.
Love the ad, love Christmas. Bring it on!
I'm not really into Xmas, but the John Lewis ads are always worth watching.
Pretty much ripped of lost & found by Oliver Jeffers.
Last year they killed a bear by waking it up halfway through its hibernation. Now they're boxing up penguins for Chrimbo. Sad stuff.
Am I the only person who has never seen a JL Xmas ad?
Shite.
Bloody brilliant.

You can tell Mabel's a girl penguin - she has eye lashes 🙂
[edit] although asking nearly a 100 quid for a 45cm tall soft toy seems a tad ambitious.

I think you must be CG. Statistics show that by christmas eve the average person in Britain will have seen it exactly 53,692 times. Even if they don't own a tellybox 😯
Stuff your Border terriers I WANT a penguin!
Hackneyed sentimental dirge.
Yep, manipulative too- some pretty cynical tugging on the strings
But they do always do it very well!
I probably won't see it "in the wild" but I'm going to watch it on Youtube so I can disapprove. If it's actually good I won't admit to having seen it.
Anyway, if it's not the Toys R Us or coca cola holidays-are-comin' christmas advert, it sucks.
Am I the only person who has never seen a JL Xmas ad?
I was going to agree, but then I thought you said JLS Xmas ad.
It nearly got dusty in here
Someone, maybe JLS, need to put a bullet in this one. You're not a stoic marine who has just seen his buddy take one in the face, when he's only three days from retirement. You're just a bit of a ponce, who cried at an advert. 8)

Not a misery guts, just not a Christian.
Christmas day is great: the roads are empty, the hills are empty, and I get the day off 😈
If that lasted for 2 months of the year I'd be thrilled...
[i]just not a Christian.[/i]
Not sure that's relevant?
Most people just treat it as an opportunity to spend time with their family doing stuff they enjoy/having huge rows after too much alcohol, what's not to like?
Pff, christmas in the uk has bugger all to do with being a christian, it's about time off work, buying stuff, and eating til you vomit. Much better. No it's not pagan either.
I was in Starbucks today, they were playing Rod bloody Stewart doing Christmas songs while the staff were wearing elf hats and antlers, in November in Jakarta where it's 35c.
just not a Christian.
Whut? What's Christian about a Pagan festival?
Not a misery guts, just not a Christian.
Heh....that's you argument?
just not a Christian.
Whut? What's Christian about a Pagan festival?
Aha, the Christmas is Pagan reply!
It's almost like people expect everyone to be shocked when they say that.
Surely everyone knows this by now (apart from old misery guts with no tv obvs 🙂 )
Still on the first page and it's boiled down to religion already.
Christmas isn't pagan; the Victorians invented Christmas along with Scottishness and quite a lot of other mawkish sentimental carp. I'm coming round to the idea that the Victorians also wrote the Bible.
Christmas was invented by the illuminati to distract us all from their lizard based intentions.

That's one of Li'l J's fave books.
He's going to want his own Penguin if he sees the ad.
[i]Am I the only person who has never seen a JL Xmas ad?[/i]
I know I've seen them, but none have stayed in my memory.
I dare not watch it - John Lewis adverts alawys reduce me to floods of tears. No idea why.
Rachel
No idea why.
Don't worry. I'm the same with the Safestyle UK ads.
while werre talking about newly released vids
check out 'droneboning' on vimeo, its just like Seasons/Roam but not riding bikes!
although NSFW!
damn, i was hoping this thread would be a PSA for some lovely cushions.
Dusty? Dusty. Oh do listen to yourselves.

You do know they're watching you now Jamie. Another outburst like this and they'll take you away to see their Lizard overlords....

like ****ing morris dancing and global warming.
I love that.
I love Penguins too!
They taste like Chicken AND Fish!

Mine always taste of chocolate.
