Just seen this.
Not my thoughts ! Was thinking where are the cats ? Probably having a feast somewhere, licking their chops.
Watching them thinking ‘dogs are such dicks’
I was waiting for someone to pop out and cull the badger.
Only after the foxes had eaten the squirrel and the badger had eaten the hedgehog.
All chased by a man on a horse, followed by Paul McCartney going “1-2-3-4…”
Oh very good.
If you close your eyes and just listen to the very beginning of this advert…. I’ll say no more.
Just wondering but when did the John Lewis Christmas ads become a ‘thing’? Or have they always been so and I have a blind spot?
They’ve definitely been a ‘thing’ for a while now. I think they really started taking off from 2011 onwards, when they started telling specific stories; the 2012 one was particularly successful, and since then the marketing department’s been very canny about building up and capitalising on the hype before the launch.
They even have their own Wikipedia entry:

This was ABSOLUTELY my thought too when I watched this for the first time. Glad to know I’m not alone.
It’s so well-observed. In the depths of winter I always watch the telly at night with the curtains wide open *
(*hur)
Ha!
