Thats certainty one way to interpret that ad, certainty better than the actual 'message' behind it I'll bet.

The Aldi Christmas ad (or Lidl - the one with the carrot) seems to have deliberately stuck the phrase “huge willy” in the middle of the advert. Very strawberry floating festive. Probably trying to get tabloid-outrage free publicity.

Is she and the dinosaur available/based on an actual toy, or are they generic characters Argos have created?

I keep seeing the M&S one involving the attractive but clearly a bit mad Ted Lasso woman.

Yeah, I think they’re Argos creations. Creepy as hell.

And Hannah Waddingham seems to be everywhere this year. Not quite sure why, but fair play to her agent, I guess.

Postcode Lottery seem to be spending an insane ad budget on as many celebs as possible. Most ads make do with one, but this lot are cramming in a bizarre number.

Emma Willis, Fred Sirieix, George Clarke, Katherine Ryan, Rachel Riley, AJ Odudu, Will Best, Stephen Mulhern. All on one advert.

If celebs are so desperate to do the advert that they are knocking at the door or ringing the bell, then of course the Postcode Lottery will let 'em in.

:dread: indeed.

Also just seen the Celebrations ad from last year and it's even worse than I remember.

Just seen this - it’s such a bizarre fit. He then stands there unconvincingly while awkwardly saying ‘you don’t need to tell me, M&S taste at ASDA prices’ or something along those lines.
