John Lewis Ad 2015
Jump to: Newest in thread
Weep if you want, but some of us are wondering what Daddy uses the telescope for...
(There's probably a late-night version, do JL do showers?)
Enjoy, but get your hankies ready first

"love the ad  ..
Ooh err you think it might not be just for looking at the moon  .. Gosh I'm shocked  "
Call me a stickler for detail, but if you look closely, the telescope starts off pointing out the house opposite, about bedroom/bathroom level....

Get ready for a deluge of 'weepy' Chrimbo ads. If it's anything like last year every other bloody store will follow JLs lead and try and 'out-cute' or 'out-weepy' each other.
Me? I'll buy off the store whose adverts have the best tits on display |

Still nobody else is seeing that the magic telescope delivered by magic balloons stops the rotation of the earth, which will lead to the end of all life on the planet.
It's a horror story |

"Oh mrddc I'm crying on the bus now. That's sooo sweet but I want to invite him round for Christmas dinner  "
It's worse the second time
(Once you get past where the telescope *was* pointing )
Wouldn't it be nice though if it encouraged everyone to think about the eldery who will spend Christmas alone, uor the homeless, who'll spend it somewhere equally cold and friendless... |

That is a very good point. I hope so  . Dare I ask where it was pointing? |

Scroll up to my second post ^^

Though I'm now wondering if it's not a cunning marketing plan to get people like me talking about it on chitter n stuff

It's not my favourite John Lewis Christmas ad.
I wondered where he'd found the wood for the house and bench and how his little telescope was able to find the girl's house.
I'm getting old and cranky.

"Good job she didn't catch the man on the moon having a crafty wank, or he'd be getting investigated by Operation Yewtree."
I hadn't even thought about the old man peering into a young girl's bedroom with a telescope thing... I just couldn't get past the magic balloon delivery and the earth and moon staying still to allow the fella to look into the bedroom. |

made me throw up, how sickly sweet, spend some of your money John Lewis on the elderly and forgotten instead of trying to give us all a guilt trip. I guess you would be happy for us to buy them something from one of your stores though. |

I really didn't like it, it made me cringe a bit and I thought it was naff 
I usually love the JL adverts although boots and sainsburys won it for me last year.
If it is a indication of remembering the elderly then it should be a all year campaign not a Christmas one. |

Well yeah, that's kind of the point of all adverts ever. |

I meant her peering at him without him knowing  |

They are very generous to various charities, as well as their welfare funds for old and ill Partners.

"I wonder if there's also a tie-in to Tim Peake, the British astronaut who'll be in space on Christmas day.
Bet he's a bit pissed they couldn't find anyone younger to play him though
"
Is that why they launched the ad today or why his story has been everywhere today?

I assumed maybe they thought it might look a bit insensitive had they launched it on the same day as the anti-capitalist protests
Btw ^^^ obviously he made his hut from the old set of Space 1999

I won't buy anything from them on principle because of this ritual of theirs. Piffle!"

Sainsbury's ad last year surely beats all the John Lewis ones into a cocked hat?

"The question remains: does anyone actually do there Christmas shopping in john Lewis?!! "
Yeah, quite a bit of it. Anything electrical I always buy from there because there's zero hassle getting a replacement if something breaks. |
