Does anyone else have unreasonable hatred of that beardy man in the Christmas Debenham's ad?

I hate Santa from Cola ad. Look all plastic mask. And also Silly nodding dad from Gilette add. He nods and grins all the way along the ad.
I like Creepy santa from Debenhams, he certainly can move. And also puddingy girl too. I think she is womanly. I hate those skinny( booby) models of M&S. And i hate that song, sounds like Bond song. The way it sang is creepy, wierd.
I like the idea of Boots ad, Gorgeous, but i hate those skinny sticky models, looks like skeletons.

This must be at least the 3rd thread about that ad

Definately seems to be a love it or hate it(marmite style) ad

lillypad · 19/12/2006 21:25

That always makes me feel shy just watching it!! You mean the one where he's playing footie with the cushion, in the altogether, dont you?

trice · 19/12/2006 21:21

I hate the ad. He is creepy.

I am pleased that they brought back that aftershave one with the mans bare bum in it though. He has a good bum.

lillypad · 19/12/2006 21:17

I mean 'but' not 'bit', obvs.

lillypad · 19/12/2006 21:16

Bit I agree NOT in the Debs ad. I hate the way he interacts with the robot. Plus the loan guy being filmed by the wife? are we watching too much daytime tv or what!

lillypad · 19/12/2006 21:14

It's the same bloke who played the devil in Jerry Springer:the opera, he also starred in Holby City or Casulaty (can't remember which) for about four episodes last year I think. Think he's spanish or brazilian or something like that. He actually looked quite cute with horns....

AlanasMum · 19/12/2006 21:06

Can't stand it/him. deliberately bought nothing in debenhams this year.
If they'd just left him as a cute guy instead of dressing him up.

don't like the coca cola guy either, but never buy that.

3xamum · 19/12/2006 20:42

LMFAO at UCM!! That is the funniest thing I've read all night!!

I have to agree he is pretty fit - sorry everyone!

MamaG · 18/12/2006 21:21

UCM!

And I thought you had taste after you loved my christmas cake!

UCM · 17/12/2006 21:40

Nooooooooooooooooo, think he is fit as fuck. The grey is definitely false and he can mooooooooove. I would definitely sit on his face & let him guess my weight (lowering tone even more than BJ woman}

GoodKingWestCountryLass · 17/12/2006 21:35

The whole ad is a big pile of pants! And that bloke is well slimey.

Not a patch on the M & S Chrismtas ad, now that is an AD!!!

MamaG · 17/12/2006 11:47

oh yes he's awful, as is the coca cola Santa and the bloke phoning picture. Knob.Head.

SnafuOutOfHiding · 17/12/2006 11:37

Yes, he makes my skin crawl too. Something just very, very wrong about him. Isn't the 'puddingy girl' (lol Enid) the one from Hustle? She's usually beautiful - bad lighting, I think.

EllieChocolateOrange · 15/12/2006 22:21

Oh, am so glad someone has pointed this out. I HATE him, and I hate the ad. Can't put my finger on why, but yes, he is so slimy and the ad is so materialistic, it has NO heart. So what agency produced it then?!

EllieHsMum · 15/12/2006 22:16

I am scared of him Don't like the santa in the Coke Ad either, he's very plastic looking...freaks me out!

willandsamsmum · 15/12/2006 22:10

I am so glad it's not just me! I was saying this very thing to DH last night. I think, for me it's partially the way he moves and the fake grey beard. Urrgghh.

wook · 15/12/2006 19:54

HORRIBLE man, DREADFUL advert! Who on earth could have come up with it?? A grey Craig David cavorting about!

sockmonkey · 15/12/2006 10:30

He is just wrong... either do a proper Santa or have a dishy bloke bringing presents, you just cant mix the two. It's just not normal, it's not good

EniDeepMidwinter · 12/12/2006 11:16

their sales are down massively this year

could the two be connected

actually I dont like that puddingy pale female model they use either

venusinfurs · 12/12/2006 11:15

I'm so glad I'm not alone in my extreme physical reaction to this individual. Do you think someone should alert Debenhams?

HumphreyCushiONtheFirstNoel · 12/12/2006 11:01

Agree with Bran about him being similar to the Judderman - all pointy and weasel-like.
Mind you, as long as someone brings me a few pressies at Christmas, I don't care what they look like!

Flumpybumpy · 12/12/2006 11:01

Letisshnow - I can't stand the loan advert where the bloke and his missus are at the kitchen table and she is nodding and hugging herself with orgasmic glee when she can't even hear whats being said on the phone as the bloke has it on his other ear!! TWAT!
