9:00 Not a racoon, possum or skunk... it's a badger

The Sainsbury ad for the Christmas Truce is the absolute king of Christmas ads.

It’s not Christmas without a John Lewis Christmas advert. It always gets me in the mood for Christmas

You Americans are so literal! They're metaphorical. They are scenes to evoke emotion. I'm glad they got to you and made you feel.

The man on the moon!! Do they not tell you that story in America? It’s representative of how the elderly can feel so isolated and lonely at Christmas

Old man on the moon seems so much more relevant now after Covid, Old people can get lonely at Xmas

British Christmas adverts are more about a brand than a product. Also the moon one was done in connection with Age Concern, it's about how elderly people feel isolated during the Christmas period.

Normal adverts are shorter but at Christmas the big stores are in competition to produce the best Christmas ad,which are always longer length adverts.

Every year John Lewis come out with a Christmas advert which is a full story, it’s not christmas without a John Lewis advert over here haha

British people don't like a 'hard sell' so our Christmas commercials are more like suggestions wrapped in heartwarming ads

me over here sobbing because the penguin found love and she starts talking bout poo lmao

not everyone in the UK have tiny gardens , yes if you live in a city but lots of us live in the country side where we have big gardens because its just fields and fields

It's not the little Girls Grandad....its the Man in the Moon 😊

John Lewis is a department store.

the double decker bus is used all over the uk. Not just london

In the U.K. it’s a massive competition between the different retailers as to who brings out the best Christmas advert. It’s always a tradition at Christmas to watch the John Lewis Christmas advert. They’ve been doing them for years! Usually for the TV advert, they’ll cut it down to like 30 seconds - 1 minute

It’s not always cold and raining in uk, and double decker busses are in most towns and city’s not just London

My back garden is quite large and I do get Foxes and Badgers visiting (or just passing through) most evenings.

John Lewis are a very popular department store here in the UK. Every year it’s their Christmas advert that everyone anticipates the most. Sadly quite a few of them (including the one in my hometown) had to close for good recently 😢💔 xx

The old man is not on the moon, he lives far away. To a little girl it may as well be the moon. It's a metaphor.

The penguin isn't...... [whispers] ..... real.....

Our adverts often have a running story line. I feel like a lot of the USA adverts just bombard you and its sell sell sell, in the UK they try to be emotive instead. Christmas adverts are amazing. Also as a side note, foxes do actually seem to love playing on trampolines - we've spotted them on ours a fair few times! We live by a nature reserve and have regular visits.

all time favourite advert was Sainsbury's Christmas Truce advert from 2014. shit was powerful

It's not a racoon but a badger. All the animals are part of the wildlife found in the UK.

John Lewis are very well known here every year they release these Christmas adverts and people get super excited for it, my all time favourite John Lewis advert has to be the man on the moon one, it always makes me emotional ❤️

Imagination Favour ! Was yours on holiday today ?

The biggest tear jerker is the sainsurys christmas ad. It blew everyone away.

Two things that need clearing up. We do sometimes have hot weather, and we have various size gardens. Added to this, the animal was a Badger and although they are cute and shy they can also be aggressive if conered. The old man was to signify the Man On The Moon which is an expression/tale that we have over here. If you look at the moon it can look a bit like a face so that is where this came from. I hope that helps a bit? x

They usually produce a 'full-length version' that they show for a while, then edit it down to about 30 secs when people get used to it.

Forget reality, just use your imagination

The songs aren’t made specifically for the adverts, but they’re usually cover versions

🤗 when watching British Christmas adverts you gotta suspend your rational thinking mechanism and revisit your childhood where magic lives and amazing things can happen 😁. Thanks for sharing 👍💕

They aren't meant to be taken literally! Lol! Kids don't really keep penguins and the old man is 'the man in the moon' the animal is a badger

And we don't all have small back yards lol.. Love the way you think us British live. We're not so different. We even speak the same language. ♥️

The differences between the European badger and the US badger has been described as: The European badger looks like a nice guy who would invite you into his cozy home and offer you tea & cake. The US badger has a knife and is waiting for you in an alley so he can rob you for meth money. Ours are definitely a more sociable lot, with each other anyway, living in family groups.

the old man on the moon is a kids story we tell them when they are young

Do you not know of , "the man on the moon" ?

British here and literally yelling IT'S A BADGER at my PC !!!

Who told you houses and gardens are small lol :/ all depends on what people can afford like most places

Christmas literally begins when the John Lewis advert airs!

It's an annual thing - the Christmas Adverts. All the major stores try to make the best each year and one up their competitors . The World War 1 Christmas cease fire and football game is beautiful.

Love how you take everything literally lol 😆

one of the greatest christmas adverts of all time Sainsburys 2014 christmas truce

John Lewis adverts were about love. We had some brilliant adverts. I used to work for John Lewis and we would spend millions on our Christmas adverts. The songs in the adverts were hits in their own right. Monty the Boxer dog cost £8M. The most expensive one featured Elton John which was the worst advert. The best one was when they joined their sister company Waitrose and had Edgar the Dragon in 2019. Hell for us in the stores when they ran out of merchandise.

I love that these ads have joyful whimsy. I find i9t hard to believe that you don't have the same sort of ads in the US. We have them in Australia.

One of the best Christmas adverts is the Iceland one (Ran-tan in my bedroom) that got banned a few years ago, which just goes to show that no good deed goes unpunished!

there's big gardens up and down the UK, the same for double decker buses

The song in the John Lewis man in the moon ad is a cover version of 'Half the World Away.' The original song was recorded by Oasis. It was used as the theme music to the British TV comedy 'The Royle Family.'

I liked the one with the hibernating bear. Can't remember which one.

9:03 that’s a badger sis 😂

It's a badger.

You should react to "Russel Howard - UK vs US news coverage"

PLEASEEEEE react to the Sainsbury's 2014 Christmas Truce ad... It's every reactors favourite Christmas ad and by far Britains favourite

When adverts long here, they also have short versions so the long adverts appear nowand then. The animal with the fox's is called a Badger. We have loads in the uk but they only come out at night so its rare to see them in the wild.

oh yes please do part 2 😁. thank you for a great reaction.

The song from the first commercial is a cover of a John Lennon song. The song from the second commercial is a cover of Half The World Away by Oasis. The song from the third commercial is a cover of One Day I'll Fly Away by Randy Crawford

British are a bit more sophisticated and direct selling will not work. You have to be subtle and win us over slowly.

I love theses British videos probably because I’m British and it boost my ego 🤣

Wtf are you talking about Xmas for 😡

It is so lovely watching someone who is totally unfamiliar with our ‘tradition’ of Christmas adverts start to get the story. When you realised that the penguins were plush the whole time was just adorable and like you said, wholesome. The whole monty the penguin thing was because they then sold the plush in the store. It was a badger in the trampoline advert :-) John Lewis is a big department store here. Quite a few of the bigger brands/supermarkets spend a lot of money on their Christmas campaigns but usually the John Lewis one is the most popular each year. It’s never really about a specific product but more the brand and how they can give you a wonderful Christmas because they are so wholesome etc. I love watching your reactions so much and this one made me smile so much what with me watching it in May haha. Please please please do more Christmas ad reactions x

It’s a badger

Please can you do a part 2, I really liked this video

Our gardens can be big depending on where you live, I live in the suburbs on the outskirts of London and our gardens are pretty big (about 20 meteres long or so)

I loved watching you trying to guess what a badger is. They're basically like sloths with more energy, and occasionally vicious.

Its very expensive to make adverts here so the budget is extremely high

There are penguins just outside Cape Town, they're fine with the heat.

you should do the old government adverts they really hit hard

I recommend you react to the John Lewis 2018 Advert with Elton John.

John Lewis adverts are ones that people wait for to see how classy they are.

OMG FINALLY!!!!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 That animal in the last is a Badger Favour 😂😂 PLEASE DO A PART 2!!!

John Lewis Christmas adverts are one of the big parts of Christmas in the last few years in the UK and the Sainsbury’s Christmas truce is probably the best ad

Our ads at Christmas are beautiful and really cheesy, we can’t wait for John Lewis ads at Christmas ❤️

John Lewis always have a super long high budget Christmas adverts. They are always themed around the John Lewis animals too so a penguin, dog and whatever the other animals are

How do you not know what a badger is ; - ;

Often companies have a long TV ad to introduce a new theme from which different parts of it will be used in the coming months. That’s why some UK ads you may react to don’t make sense unless you’ve seen the whole set of ads.

Some I'm not sure if all the John Lewis Christmas ads are linked to a charity, so the man in the moon was Age UK which provides services to the elderly.

John Lewis is a store

In the UK they do soft play centres for adults.

Great reaction, yes to part 2

The one on the trampoline, the black and white panda looking thing, its a badger. Very British countryside.

The striped animal on the trampoline is a badger. John Lewis is a department store that started the trend of these Christmas adverts. Other people started doing it including Aldi. They do them full length a few times then you get 30 second shorts after a while.

I love your reaction videos. I hope you react to some more UK Xmas ads.. My favourite John Lewis Xmas advert is "The bear and the hare," with Lily Allen singing. Also Sainsbury's Cmas adverts are fantastic too.

"She's a werewolf!".....Amazing :D

The analysis is bloody brilliant 🤦‍♂️😂😂

it is an advert any thing is possible that is the man in the moon

Just for reference.. Jackass penguins flourish in Namibia and South Africa and Humboldts live on a desert landscape near the coasts of Peru and Chile.

I think the British department store Christmas ads are akin to the NY department stores’ Christmas displays in their windows.

He is the man in the moon. The black and white animal is a badger.

😂 nothing is impossible if you believe, John Lewis xmas ads are the best

It's the man on the moon. To sale Christmas present? A telescope

That animal that you thought was a raccoon is a British badger

The black and white animal is a badger

john lewis is a department store

The animal with the stout nose white stripe is a badger , i love to see your reactions , i see the passion you have for UK its intoxicating x

The animal with the black and white face with the 2 foxes is a badger.

John Lewis is a department store, oh and the animal you wasn't sure about is called a "Badger"

I died at ...'a panda?' 😂

We absolutely hate Black Friday here now. It exploded the first time it came here just a few short years ago and we thought the scenes on our streets and shops were absolutely appalling, so after that all stores massively scaled back their Black Friday promotions, with many of them dropping it all together. We don’t want a repeat of the scenes that happen in America, as we don’t want to be seen as big a capitalist country in its more unhealthy obsession as many in the US. There are talks actually that we may just drop it all together, and just stick to the regular Christmas reduction deals. BTW, the black-and-white animal in the last advert was a Badger. They are one of the top three most iconic animals to see in a British garden and countryside at night. Right next to the Fox and the Hedgehog. And yeah, without a doubt John Lewis does some of the best Christmas adverts in the UK ever.

We’re is all the Irish things
