None of them Christmas adverts, like the Christmas adverts are unbelievable.

They're out of control.

This year they're going for ones that are like this Andy.

Christmas. Yeah, we all know it's shit, but you just got to get through it. Am I right? That's like they also...

Fuck off. Christmas is brilliant. I know. Silly cunts, right? And they always seem to have some collective thing like this year, and they

all go for the same idea. This year, we have collectively got together the different supermarket

brands and advertising people. We've decided that we're going to show authenticity by

demonstrating that we really understand that a lot of you miserable peasants get pretty down in the dumps around Christmas.

And so we're going to make all our adverts about that.

And we're going to kind of make it out just because you hate your uncle and you're going to have to spend time with him.

Doesn't mean that you can't enjoy discount sprouts from Esther.

And they're all a bit like that, a bit kind of knowing, oh, Christmas, you know, what are you going to do? And I can never help, I know we've talked about this before, but every year it comes back to the same thing. It's like, look at the Woolies adverts from the 80s, right? Yeah. It was just the fucking goodies, right? Yeah. and, um... You'd have like Paul Shane maybe from Heidi High. Yeah. And, uh, who's that one, Anita something with the sort of beauty mark? Anita Harris. Anita Harris, right? She'd be dressed as a sort of a magician's assistant in a kind of... A principal boy from a pantomime. Yeah, a spangly sort of leotard and tights.

And hey, there's cannon and ball.

Yeah, and they'd just be fucking running around Woolworths.
