Christmas tv adverts 2017

The worst ad is the one with Gogglebox lot watching the Coca Cola ad.

headvoid should come here and apologise on behalf of the advertising community.
 
"The Coca Cola advert is like the angel on top of the Christmas tree" said a Gogglebox person paid by Coca Cola to appear in an advert for Coca Cola talking about their Christmas ad.

I have though, found things worse than TV ads and that is "Influencer Marketing" - here is an example.

 
The whole shoe obsession some people have baffles me. I mean I can get it with women’s shoes because at least they’re varied, but trainers are all pretty much alike. And what an expensive thing to collect.
 
And they probably don't even wear them, just display them around the house so they can say "have you seen my new sneaks?" to friends, the monsters.
 
There is a theory doing the admen rounds that the UK Christmas ads were all designed to make Daily Mail columnists and commenters go mad with rage.

MUSLIMS ENJOYING CHRISTMAS?
BLACK AND WHITE PEOPLE KISSING?
EVERYONE WELCOME? FUCK OFF, WERE FULL
FUCKIN MONSTERS UNDER THE BED ITS PEDOS INNIT
etc.
 
It would actually make sense since those articles get the more clicks than the Guardian's "Christmas ad doesn't reference Hollywood abuse" stories.
 
McDonalds normally do really nice ads (fuckin awful food, nice ads).

However, the Christmas ad was an abomination. At least have a moment of truth, then extrapolate. "Coffee" and "dead dad" (not real name) are really nice ads.
 
*shows Client Wes Anderson mood film*
*Suggests we use Wes Anderson like H&M did last year*

Client: Fuck paying Wes Anderson, lets just do it in that style.
Agency: But...
Client: DID I FUCKIN STUTTER?

 
Actually like this one, despite the fact they have a clear strategy to sell you 95% awful stuff but make their Gin, Mince Pies and Champagne half decent.

It's single minded and product focused - therefore gets my vote
 
Also like this one, (we don't just do crappy food, we also do FRESH STUFF) as they have basically told a story while (VEG AND OTHER FRESH STUFF) hiding subliminal messages about quality.

 
Daily Mail Commentators will love this. Let's make it a redhead to really screw with their minds. We can even use Ewan McGregor as he is a bit leftie aint he?

Ad people forget they are the posterboys for consumerism so try to do good to make up for all the times we just SELL CRAPPY THINGS.

Of course the timing is a bit unfortunate with McGregor leaving his wife for a younger woman...

I like this one.

"I just pea'd myself" LOL.
 
It’s the first time I’ve seen that one and I really like it. I’ve already forgotten whose ad it is but it’s a nice little story. Looks quite lavish and it’s edited well.
 
Is it Lidl or Aldi that do the annoying "I tweeted that Aldi/Lildl's soup is actually just a French man's urine so they sent me to France to show me it wasn't and I didn't do it on purpose to get a free holiday or anything!" adverts? I hate those.
 
I did like the one where the woman said she thought she’d just pick a couple of grapes for the cameras, but in fact had worked her fingers to the bone and been led on a death march along with her fellow migrant workers, their faces turned to the dirt, resigned that they should never see the sun rise over friendly shores again.

But she was probably just an actress.
 
I saw the short version of this on tv and was thoroughly confused, but I guess it tells you to watch the full thing online.



I mean, it's pretty. Hipsters will love it. I don't really know what H&M sell though? It's funny that Nicki Minaj is only in it for literally three seconds (and I have no idea who Jesse Williams is.)
