Does anyone else have unreasonable hatred of that beardy man in the Christmas Debenham's ad?

Yes, he's very creepy. He reminds me of the Judderman from that vodka advert a few years ago.

Brandy...DOH!!! Knew I'd seen him before

No, it's not him, honest. It's some very creepy grey-haired dancing man who is really quite horrible in every way.

Yes, I agree.

He is sleazy and probably empties his sack whereve he pleases

no, but I HATE the plasticy grinning Dad in the Gillette Fusion ad - its the same stupid grin after his son has shown him how to work his phone, PC & razor......

I like the Debenhams man, he's a great mover, and I love the bit where he slips into the sleigh. I think he's sexy. He has been in another high profile ad but I can't remember which one.

He's actually grown on me lately. The one I hate is the 'plasticky' looking Santa in the Coca Cola ads.

Oh I don't know about him but if that stupid twit with the 'how much did we want to borrow?' and the vacuous wife filming him phoning up for a loan ever comes on my television again I am going to put my foot through it.

I think he is supposed to signify a sexy modern day santa. Hence drawr of toys, sleigh. For me he fails.

he is not sexy he is like those men who creep up to you when you are having a quiet drink with a friend and think they can pull both of you

Letisshnow - I can't stand the loan advert where the bloke and his missus are at the kitchen table and she is nodding and hugging herself with orgasmic glee when she can't even hear whats being said on the phone as the bloke has it on his other ear!! TWAT!

Agree with Bran about him being similar to the Judderman - all pointy and weasel-like.
Mind you, as long as someone brings me a few pressies at Christmas, I don't care what they look like!

I'm so glad I'm not alone in my extreme physical reaction to this individual. Do you think someone should alert Debenhams?

He is just wrong... either do a proper Santa or have a dishy bloke bringing presents, you just cant mix the two. It's just not normal, it's not good
