Did you cry during/after the John Lewis advert with #MontyThePenguin?

I did cry... "FUCK THIS SHIT!!!"

I dont even have a television

OMFG 95 pounds?!?!?! who the fuck would pay that???

Frobisher, is your display name inspired by Frobisher the penguin from Dr Who?

I only watch television for the nature documentaries.

btw those who haven't seen the advert need to watch it before voting. its on youtube you know.

And yes, my sn is directly related to the Dr. Who penguin/alien-shapeshifter.

lol snoball just likes watching the tigers go at it.

I especially love the Big Finish audios that feature Frobisher, as they make him out to be a 40's Noir gumshoe (albeit completely inept).

yes, I have a soul, so I didn't cry during or after this shitty, stupid advert

Surely should be an option for 'never seen it, thank fuck'?

lol @ going to youtube to watch an advert specially

ITT gits full of bile and idiocy.

"Gits full of bile" - now that is a lyric or sounds like a lyric.

advert git

Moonlight and love songs never out of date
Gits full of bile, jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny

You're as much as telling me that if I look this up on youtube, I will either cry or else find out I am soulless or Lucifer incarnate. I already cried once today so I need better inducements.

it's pretty clever and features a trained penguin doing things... so if you like penguins its pretty great.

What if you think penguins are meh and are also aware of advertisements gimmicky bullshit?

look, I know ILX is full of Luciferians who sold their souls long ago, so just vote accordingly, Ste.

What if you like penguins but find the whole fetishisation of saccharine John Lewis Christmas adverts fucking horrendous and pretty much a good reason to destroy the world?

Then maybe I should have added that as a category emil.y....
Blame the creator, myself, for not giving you enough choices.

Also, I agree that consumerist ploys to puil your heartstrings are evil, I just wanted to find out how many people it worked on, and also how many people got through the ad without teary eyes and therefore likely have no souls.

that fuckin' Lilly Allen Bear and Rabbit ad from last year got to me too, but it didn't result in my purchasing choices.

result in altering my purchasing choices I mean.

I saw this for the first time this morning! the penguins are cute and it helps make up for the fact that this year's Famous Grouse ad does not feature the famous grouse but just some ppl with beards taking selfies, so I'm broadly in favour of #MontyThePenguin, haven't cried yet, though

cool that uv got a new online marketing gig frobisher, but ur work here is probably done.

LOL, omg I did not know they had fake twitter accounts, smdh. Also, obv. I am not some representative of John Lewis, I'm just a sucker for their Xmas adverts, this one especially.

I have probably cried at some point after having seen this advert about something unrelated

ILX: where jerks come to try out their lame zings.

you cried at an advert

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrlZNVi_N54

The only time I have seen this advert is when they watched it on Gogglebox.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Another soft toy to flog this year then.

I actually quite like Bastille but can't help thinking the advert would be massively improved if they had used the original REO Speedwagon tune instead.

oh, and judging from Twitter, people are crying again

imagine crying at a john lewis ad, then imagine wanting to tell everyone on twitter rather than keep this horrible secret private.

I have no memory of the original advert

Yeah, that’s absolute muck

Fellow co-worker posted about this on Slack at 830am this morning, in full capitals with exclamation points and multiple varities of heart emoji. As ever, I need a new job

why are you not clapping citizen
