The Aldi Christmas ad. Are they doing what i think they are doing.

Ripping the piss out of the Coca Cola truck ad

Yes, I thought it was the Coca Cola truck to start with, then I saw Kevin the Carrot.
It's the 3rd november FGS.

They usually do start this early. But i do remember not seeing Christmas ads on TV until late November as a kid. In the days when Hinge and Brackett used to advertise Emva Cream

I did think it was the Coca Cola one. I cba with having that stupid carrot everywhere again though.
Let's face it being from Aldi he should only last about two days.

I shouted out "It's the bloody Christmas Coca Cola truck advert already" then I saw the carrot driving the lorry🤣

Hinge and Brackett, that's a blast from the past.

@KittensandCake Heres another one.

No, @HelenaDove, I'm far too young! 😉

Most people think Kevin is oh so innocent and sweet.
Yet, there he is, behind the wheel of a giant lorry, carrying his carrot friends to slaughter, to be chopped up and eaten. I see you Kevin, I see you!

Has a touch of The Italian Job about it too.

I also noted the K and the C smacked very much of Cath Kidston style...

I don't get why a carrot is Christmassy. We have carrots all year round.

Not seen the ad yet. Sparkling, remember to put carrots out for the reindeer.

I have bought it was Coca Cola . It’s Aldi’s style . Sw meals same packaging, butters slightly different names but very similar packaging.

I can't stand this aldi ad. Everyone is playing in the snow in what looks like heat. No one has a coat on. The sun looks warm on their faces. (maybe it's coming from too high in the sky suggesting being filmed in the summer rather than low winter sun). It annoys me so much as it just doesn't give any feeling of christmas/winter to me, despite the snow!

Am I the only one wondering how he reached the brakes?

I reckon Santa is going to come rescue the truck

What do you expect from Aldi. They rip off everything.

Coca Cola dont seem to mind.

Wait, how did Kevin escape the cliff edge then? I don't get it 😫

Aldi are doing a good job of putting kids off their veg - they're never going to want to eat a carrot or the evil parsnip!

Omg! Laughing so much! 'right in the nuts'

i reckon they might have won the best Christmas ad this year.
