The first one was amusing. All these latest ones are awful imo. And not in the spirit of Christmas. Am glad I shop at Morrison's where they have a big wheel and singing and stuff.

Oh i see im int he majority with the bubble bath , yes poor laura what did she do i wonder ?

YANBU... the underlying message seems to be that 'people who shop at Aldi are cheap and creepy with a selfish streak'. Odd way to talk about your customers Hmm

I hate the cheating bastard one where he has a bottle of Baileys and a bottle of the cheapie version for each girlfriend.
wonders why they didnt make an ad featuring the girlfriend in reply like they did with the granny/two kids/socks/choccie reindeer. hmmm

I love them. Especially the gin one Xmas Grin

I am not creepy or selfish but I shop in Aldi. But for some reason I have never bought anything from Aldi and given it as a gift because i would be worried people would judge the gift. That's bonkers right? Confused

CogitoErgoSometimes · 20/12/2011 17:37

It's not bonkers sparklingbaubles... people would judge you for an Aldi gift, and probably on the strength of the adverts alone :) In the past they may have said nothing and been grateful, but now they would know for definite that you'd had the choice between a nice Lindt chocolate reindeer or a lookalike Aldi one and either a) you're stony broke or b) you felt they weren't worth the extra 50p....

Exactly Cogito. I couldn't buy them a bottle of Southern Belle because they would know it was pretend Southern Comfort. But I drink the pretend stuff myself. It's weird.

apparently the Aldis baileys is lovely my auntie who used to be a marks and spencers lady loves it Xmas Smile and its cheaper than bailieys

Was it an Aldi advert which had the cat 'talking' about fishfingers? And then he threatens to eat the goldfish for pudding? I fecking love that one. Have hardly seen any of the others though.. I feel I'm missing out.

I think these adverts are genius!
I love the gin one & the bubbly one!
Very funny!
