Tesco festive adverts with Ruth Jones....

[Postitblue]

The one where she has her son help with the shopping and can't string a sentence together/ bumps into son and tries to hide the fact she's having a NYE party. Surely I cannot be alone in thinking these are pretty shyt and annoying!!!

As the owner of a teenager with sld and an owner of a v tall daft teenage boy
I think he's just supposed to be a gangly daft teenage boy
And when I'm 46 my eldest will be 25
Is this a competition? Because I never win. Can't we just have a raffle?

My daft teenager is quite clever...........he very much lacks social skills in shops
Blurt hell the advert is on now

I don't see LDs either, my 16 yo dd wouldn't behave like that in a million years. It didn't even occur to me until this thread!

He's just an immature twat who needs to leave home and grow up! I do know it's not real

:o to annoying
Sweet as well but gosh, it's testing! :)

My dds can be a bit gormless at times and dd may have got stuck in her coat once ortwice

I remember hysteria when the youngest boy was screaming running downstairs
Omg omg my brother is stuck in his jeans, he's stuck in his jeans
And ds1 was screaming upstairs like he was being murdered
I ran up and took a deep breath before entering the room.....

He'd got his foot stuck in the ankle of his skinny jeans. I thought it was zip related from the screaming, language used

Tfft but fgs

Actually Lold

Adverts pay lots of money.

My friend was in a mcdonald's one a few years back, as person must sitting in the background, got paid £5k.

Truly the worse Christmas adverts this year. Not funny, embarrassing, that stupid lad, the tweeness of the mum and dad...

Why is the boy, (who at 25 isn't a boy, how many of us were living independently and even responsible for babies by that age) actually in Tesco on his own. Does he just hang out there following women?

Odd advert and not in a good way. Very amateur and sparse looking.

In some of the ads, ManBaby appears to live with mummy and daddy as he's shopping with them. Then in the volo-voulez ad, he seems to have been thrown out of the familial home... Not even any plot and there's plot holes.

I can't believe you lot take adverts so seriously. This holiday has been way too long . Just turn the sound off like we do.

But the visual horror would still remain.

I don't think it's taking adverts 'seriously' to find them irritating. Hopefully by New Years Day they will be gone.

"Never mind the dad massaging, what about the son shushing his mum with his finger on her lips- UGH!"

Yes!!!!

Larry there's nothing else on telly anyway. I'm wondering why some scheduler somewhere thinks Meryl Streep's dingo baby film is xmas viewing .... (and I say that as someone who loves that film).

Also if I muted the Tesco family, I'd have to press a button. That's more effort than they're worth. Won't be long before they're gone, when Tesco pick up the visceral public reaction to them. Tesco seem to be flailing around to try and recapture past glory and it's not happening now so many have defected to the cheaper/better supermarkets.

I had only caught bits of these Ads on the TV in the Background, so I just youtubed them to see what all the fuss is about - And I love them!! I don't think the 'Party Food' one is great, as some PP's have said, it doesn't seem to make sense. But the other ones made me laugh. Especially the 'Gluten Free' one! I think it's harmless fun. And Love the Son. He reminds me of Nick from My Family.

Laugh?

I'm very sad and I looked at a Christmas ad ratings site. The public liked this year's Tesco's ads way more than last year's.
