Favourite Christmas adverts

[Forest Hillbilly]

When I was younger, (a few decades ago) i seem to recall this time of year seeing an increase in adverts for stuff like, Scalextrix, perfume/aftershave and all manner of stuff the High Street shops wanted you to buy.
This year, the TV just seems stuffed full of miserable adverts. Just sickening stuff.

My top three , so far :

Little African boy needs money to stop flies blinding him
Donkey with broken ankles needs money to save him
Give money to the dog shelter or we'll start culling them

Really grim stuff. Where is all the promotion of drunkeness and Gluttony ?

Happy to say I don't watch adverts. I try not to watch live TV so I either stream or record and fast forward.

All these & the Salvation Army ones are about 5-7 years old, maybe more.
