Blubbering mess

[squiggleirl]

The John Lewis Christmas ad has destroyed me. The tears were pouring down my face. Oh God. I don't know whether to be embarrassed or watch it again so I can have another cry....

Edit from MNHQ: Sorry for butting in squiggleirl - but we're just going to add a link to to the video here so everyone can sob uncontrollably enjoy it . Apologies for the intrusion!

I've not seen it. What's it about this year?

Love it... I'm putting a penguin on my Christmas list

Is it online?

I might go and watch it too

Ooh is it out now? I haven't seen it! Ds is 2.5 and "gets" Christmas this year, I am beyond excited. I can't wait!!

Oh it's lovely!

Damn you John Lewis!

Oh! Sniff!

I want a penguin

Here's a link to Monty the penguin

I knew what this would be about before I opened the thread!

Also had a jolly good cry too. At least the music isn't as ear wormy this year. Every time I went into JL last Christmas I was a blubbery mess!

Me too, just watched it at work and had go to the toilets

Fuck knows how they do it, they make me cry every single year.

Aww. Every year! John Lewis must employ some total softies complete sadists to do their advertising.

God DAMMIT. Every year! snivels into a tissue at desk

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

I don't get it- was the penguin always a toy?

Left me totally unmoved and I cried at the advert last year where they sang 'all the little things' (aldi?) so I am a regular Christmas ad crier, I think they have missed this year.

Lovely

Thought it was total rubbish. Until the end. Blubbering now.

Blub! Very sweet!

Another one here blubbing like a bambino. I got the message from the off.

But I did have a moment of thinking 'surely you can't buy a real penguin at JL.'!

Loved it! By far their best yet and now i have to go work a complete mess

I'm really cross.

My son is renowned for his imaginary penguin friend. It's the thing that makes him special. Now every fucker is going to pretend they've got one.

been around for years [[http://newpencilcase.wordpress.com/2012/10/24/happy-feet/]]

I feel sullied, like when that X Factor woman recorded Hallelujah, or Smelly Cat got turned into a cat food advert.

Yep me too

I was snivelling enough when the penguin was real - the reveal tipped me over the edge though!

I'm so cross I can't even do links properly

here it is

Not as blubbery as last year's and I just took my pfb to his first pre school session.
