To really dislike the Kevin the carrot Aldi ads?

[ThePlatypusAlwaysTriumphs]

I just don't get it!! He's a carrot! Carrots are not particularly Christmassy. He would have rotted away since last year. And I didn't like him then either. Dd likes him, and doesn't understand why I don't. Apparently I am weird. Opinions

I’m not fussed about any of the Christmas ads , however I did say to dd the other day ‘why a carrot , carrots are not Christmassy surely it should be a sprout ‘ .

I love Kevin!

You leave a carrot for santa obviously carrots are christmassy I actually think Aldi are taking the piss paradoying the ridiculousness that is JL etc adverts

I wondered about this last year - surely the carrot's going to be eaten. So it's an odd thing to see your character on
JL one did not cost £7m. Cost £1m to make. Anything else is the cost of marketing and media. Large UK employer too

FWIW. The man on the moon JL ad cost about £8m to make.
The Moz the monster one this year probably wasn't too much cheaper than that.

Not technically true; about £1m to make each year; rest is media placements. Prime time advertising slots; newspaper coverage, etc.

Also the monster does come back when the nightlight is off - he makes a noise at the end of the ad.

Yabu. He's adorable. I love his little flimsy arms.

Apologies AnchorDownDeepBreath I was a little out with the costings.

It was £7m.

YANBU. Christmas ads have been on the slide since this .

JL have a whole range of monster goodies you can buy. It’s a crap advert, I’m kind of glad the general consensus is it’s a fail. Bring back the snowmen ⛄️

I like Kevin.

I like his sweet little root hands. Really dislike the pea/pee bit though, that spoils the whole thing for me.

My favourite Christmas advert of all time is the Sainsbury’s one where the soldiers stopped fighting on Christmas Day and played football together (and it actually happened).

This year, they’ve all been a bit rubbish, especially the JL one.
