We dont know what time it is, could be 6 pm, anyway, without it the ad would not work, its all about Kevin getting to the plate and having to get past all those things that some hold dear about xmas,and showcasing some of the food they sell you, it is the sweetest ad this year, I dont think there will be one to top it.
I just find it strange how there's a table of food laid out but not a soul to be seen aside from an anthropomorphic carrot making a break for freedom...

have you got a loud shouty voice
can you talk very fast
can you sound very sincere
do you have no feeling of moral responsibilities for your actions
there is a job in TV advertizing for YOU, visit www.adjobs4u.com or call 08704ADJOBS

maybe she was on a tube train, no one but NO one even talks to people on a tube, not even their wives
....yes, 'tis a place for quiet contemplation

The Aldi advert with the carrot...why is the Christmas dinner all cooked and laid out the night before Christmas?
...all part of the magic - but some people do have their Christmas dinner, and open their presents on Christmas Eve! I know of one such grown up family. Then they all go out somewhere on Christmas Day.

The House Of Fraser dance students are back!!
Terrible table manners ....banging on the table like that!

- they should have thought of a new concept, because where last years was good, this one is not.

I do agree with that - for now, nothing comes near.

Tesco Christmas Advert - sorry but this is just so crap, and the song is so cliche.

Cheap and tacky.

Sorry to sound hard hearted, but the Wateraid ads are getting on my nerves. Those kids all look very well nourished and hydrated to me.

and they are totally false, when I was there the locals taught us how to filter out the solids and then boil the water so that it was safe to drink, they had been doing this long before white people came there, Sorry but from me, based on my personal knowledge, it's a con

Not to mention the wealth of the African oligarchs, thanks to the gold and diamond mines etc. Go after them to look after their own! They own swathes of properties in all the capitals of the world.

I dislike the Barclay Card advert - the one with the lady jumping up and down and the parrot. Not because it's an annoying advert (to me) but because the door bell at the end is exactly the same as mine and if I am not quick enough to change channels or mute the sound then Keith my cat goes ballistic thinking someone is at the door. After running around the living room in a manic panic he exits through the cat flap and takes half an hour to return trembling at the thought of a visitor being present - not the most sociable of cats is Keith.
Aw Keith the cat I like that name. I've recently adopted two I named Leonard and Reginald
I love Keith, Reginald & Leonard, fabulous names 😍
My cat's a "Fanny"......... but that's what you get when you let your (so-called) friends name your cat! 😆🐱

The advert that makes me sick at the moment is the Tate & Lyle Syrup ad 😲
All that sticky stuff everywhere and when she laughs at the end when there's syrup on her tablet!
I just want to run for the Detroit wipes!

They will possibly be in the drawing room having a pre christmas meal aperitif prior to the butler announcing that dinner is served.

I watched he 3 minute version earlier and I got that impression, useless men , send a woman to do it.

I still haven't seen an advert that holds a candle to Kevin the carrot , I wonder if Aldi will release a toy based on him? look at the panic and the exchanging of large sums of money for Mog the cat last year!
I love Kevin the carrot. Just seen the Christmas ad for Waitrose with the Robin. It's beautiful.

Predicting the turkeys' futures no doubt - the big question is how many she gets right!

I'm going to be pedantic about the Waitrose robins, lovely advert, but you would never see two male robins feeding each other, they are extremely territorial and would fight viciously!

that reminds me of when the Foot and Mouth epidemic was on John Prescott (Sorry about the bad language) was shot (Oh if only) for the TV news at an abattoir saying "And NOW all these animals will have to be killed" yeah now that's something new for an abattoir.

Which reminds of a famous Northern Labour MP when opening a reservoir, asked how it should be pronounced was told "It rhymes with abattoir, er how do you pronounce that" to which he replied "Slaughter 'ouse"

Wasn't her alleged tweet dated October this year, then she goes to the farm, sees all the happy Turkey, then goes for Christmas dinner, deco and all the trimmings. I assume she arrived at the farm by TARDIS!

As for eating the things; don't have a problem with that. They wouldn't have lived at all if we didn't eat them - a bit like veal. If we don't eat veal then male calves have a life of a matter of hours, rather than months.

Cheap and tacky.
Is that the 'Too early for mince pies?' one ? You're right, it's as crap as ever, but I like that Tesco is at least self-aware enough to recogise that putting out a Christmas ad in October (as was when it first came on) is just going to get people's backs up, so they've essentially made themselves immune to criticism by acknowledging that and making it part of the ad. I much prefer the cheap and tacky style of advertising to the oh-so-serious-Christmas-in-October ads from the likes of John Lewis, who have made the Christmas ad into practically an art form (and not in a good way) and an event in itself.

T K Maxx Christmas ad. The Pulp Fiction singalong is abysmal.
...is that what it is!
To be fair, the music existed long before it was used in Pulp Fiction (it's a a Mediterranean folk song written circa. 1920) and has been recorded, sampled and used in film and TV hundreds of times. No doubt PF put it back into contemporary pop. culture, but it may not necessarily be the connection TK Maxx were going for.
