Advent Calendar 2021 Day 4: and more 1980s and 1990s Christmas adverts





Yet again - and we don't just mean the Advent Calendar with this, we mean WDYT? itself and by extension all of life - we're indebted to Neil Miles for going through his endless parade of E180s and plucking out the best festive advertising, just as we were here, here, here and here. Highlights this time include the usual parade of local stores advertising entirely in stills, burst balloons at the Arndale Centre, Boots attempting to synthesise the Woolworths approach, two lots of Christmas TV Times, Chas & Dave's Christmas Jamboree Bag in far too short detail, Westbrook Glass and their new computer graphics software, Paul Henry in Plymouth, the Liverpool Empire's treble act of your dreams, Tesco reminding you that only dirty hippies don't eat meat, Sonic 2 at D-D-Dixons, "what is a happening?", a News Of The World TV guide that attempts to rip off The Day Today of all things, Barbara Windsor promoting the People's version, a festive themed sell for Parklife and festive versions of the famous mid-90s Guinness Guaglione and Pot Noodle Peter Baynham ads. Truly, something for everyone.
