"January depression, still, here's some lovely bears." I think it's very nice of them to think of us and our cute-o-meters like that. I think Maxwell House coffee ads are made by the devil, MaryAnn. Maxwell House coffee is the worst kind of coffee. It's all my mam buys and it tastes of death. Don't be fooled!

It's clearly the being away that ruined him. He should have stayed at home with the electric blanket and the shiny new hob. On the contrary! It’s clearly the being away that ruined him.

But Alan Hughes! Didn't he present that shite game show <i> Talkabout </i> back in the 90s while wearing a stripy jacket? He should never have come home, the git.

SANTA. You're thinking of Satan. Govstooge, I really like the Garmin ad. How strange that we disagree, after all these years! It's nearly as poignant as the ESB ad! No, Flann. SANTA.

What parent doesn't cherish the thought that their infant daughter might wander into the living room at night to find a large, wheezing, bearded intruder, making himself at home in her father's armchair. Every parent's dream, surely? Ah, the Kellogg’s ad.

I think? I don't rememeber seeing that til I was in my early teens or so. I don't know; trying to remember. The An Post one signals the start of MY Christmas ... I love it. But yeah, back when electric blankets weren't so evil. Aaah, the innocence. It’s a much younger ad than the An Post one … I think? I don’t rememeber seeing that til I was in my early teens or so.
