Friday Five Favourite – Christmas Adverts 2024

6 12 2024

Waitrose
My winner this year by a LONG way, it was great – leaving us on a cliffhanger for a couple of weeks before releasing the second part!

The Entertainer
An excellent music choice for humorous effect

Boots
Classic anti-patriarchy teasing

M&S
Dawn French playing Dawn French

Aldi
They’ve been doing Kevin the Carrot ads for several years now, but this still has some excellent jokes in it, even after all this time





April Fools 2024

1 04 2024

I was a bit concerned how much there’d be this year as it’s a bank holiday, but I’ve not been disappointed!

As per usual, I’ve put captions below the posts in case the posted get deleted later!

Let me know if you find any good ones I’ve missed and I’ll tack them on the bottom later.

Enjoy!
