John Lewis advert

[Beebo]

thread resurrection
The latest advert is out.
And it’s a clear rip off of ET.
With a woman singing a slowed down version of an 80s classic.
The format is getting very boring now

Some controversy over the new advert, but nothing the thought police allow discussion of on here.

This time of year I am extra pleased I don't have a TV.

It's always OK to quote the Guardian, isn't it?

" You could look at how aggressively every other retailer has attempted to rip off the tear-jerky John Lewis Christmas ad formula, to the extent that sitting through an ITV commercial break in November or December is now exactly the same as suffering through the first 10 minutes of Up on a neverending loop in an abandoned corn silo full of crying children."
...
"No, the John Lewis Christmas advert this year is definitely about an alien crashing in the woods in December 2019 and lulling a boy into a false sense of security so she can extract his DNA, turn it into Covid then spread it around the world upon her return the following month. The moral of the story is that you should definitely kill all aliens with guns as soon as you see them. Merry Christmas everyone."

Have you tried John Lewis?

No, the John Lewis Christmas advert is definitely about going woke.
The moral of the story is if you're woke you should shop at John Lewis.

I have been in the store but wouldn't buy anything new as there is so much preloved stuff available.

Where was ET ? I saw a lad and a very pasty looking girl. She needs some vitamins.

It's no Kevin the Carrot though. They are the best.

Haven't seen it. Won't see it.
I don't have a TV licence.

They obviously couldn’t afford the actual ET so got the pasty Lass instead.
