Despite everything 2016 has thrown at us, it’s apparently still going to be the most wonderful time of the year in about a month – and it starts now because John Lewis have unveiled their saccharine Christmas advert. This year’s focuses on a dog called Buster, and Buster is jealous because the animals of Farthing Wood are using the new trampoline in his garden. On Christmas Day, Buster belts past the small child receiving the trampolene as her Christmas gift to get first dibs on it. It’s soundtracked sumptuously by a band called Vaults and a lot of people have said it’s making them cry, but many also couldn’t help but think these 11 horribly cynical thoughts.

1. After the year we’ve had, this had better be bloody good

5. In real life those animals would probably have been culled 🙁

6. Also, animals eat other animals: this is a fact

 

7. Technically, a hedgehog should be hibernating in December

Why have you interrupted its crucial winter rest, JL?

8. Buster should be going apeshit at these incredible scenes

9. Also – if this shit makes you cry, there is something wrong with you

 

10. It’s not even really new

Just like Trump’s victory yesterday, The Simpsons predicted this ages ago

11. Anyway, a trampoline in December is a totally impractical present

Merry Christmas, one and all!
