Christmas Commercial Thread

I do remember this commercial. The actor who plays Peter looks very familiar but I can't place him.

This version is better.

We were all thinking it!

r1 Greg Wrangler

he played a fireman on the episode of Friends when there was a fire in Phoebe and Rachel's apartment.

Any of these Target commercials starring Maria Bamford.

I love in that Folgers ad how mom and dad wake up sniffing the air like a couple Labrador retrievers

^^ haha. I don’t believe you can smell even traces of a pot of brewing coffee from the second floor. Yet it’s as if the aroma wakes them from a deep sleep (?)

This one warmed my heart as a gayling.

....

It is possible Peter could have been a gay son who had run off or been disowned.

Is there an actual article that gives some background?

The Miller High Life commercial with the horse going through the town and “I’ll be Home For Christmas” playing in the background. I saw this one constantly growing up. Reminds me of watching football with my dad(well sitting with my dad while he watched football) in out cold, drafty house in CT.

I know the Budweiser Clydesdales are the quintessential Christmas, but damn I love this.

R9, the only thing I could find from the casting breakdowns was that he was bathhouse habitue who had bailed on Christmas with the family for a raunchy weekend at Steamworks. But after getting stuffed like a Christmas goose, he had a Charles Dick..ens experience and decided family was more important and decided to surprise everyone on Christmas morning.

I always figured Peter was away at college and told his parents he couldn’t make it due to the weather. His friend in the Beetle was able to give him a last minute ride to the house. That’s why there were so surprised to see him.

But that is a dick move by Peter not to allow his friend,who drove him however long in clunky Beetle in the snow and cold, in for a cup of coffee or danish. I hope he gave him gas money at least.

I think he gave him something else.

Colleges typically break a few days before Christmas. He would've had plenty of time to get home to not have to arrive Christmas morning.

Who are these people who still watch commercial tv? Muriel I thought I’d specifically instructed you to keep the riff raff out.

R2: My coffee had no incest and no caffeine.

R12: The Beetle driver didn't need caffeine, he was quite active enough, thank you!

And we didn't do maudlin Christmas commercials, either. Those are just some of the many reasons we all chose HIGHPOINT decaffeinated coffee!

surprised there was never a horrific movie

"Weeping. Weeping."

how warped is your mind?

just eat away your feelings, kevin

I hope Peter and the Beetle driver / college room-mate were stuck in a snowstorm for a couple of days, and found 'an old cabin' to stay in and keep warm...which is why Peter arrives on Christmas morning with a big smile on his face.

"Thanks Mom, but I'm loaded with Christmas Gifts already - I don't need any more."

Why do so many superhero/ines (and daddy) want to get kids in their underoos?

And every frau is screaming, "And they were all narcissistic cunts! They forgot the hot tub!"

Meijer's Christmas commercial for this year. This is a slightly longer version than the one that airs on TV.

Not sure why, but this one gets to me teary.

I think I had two of them.

I have so many more questions than answers about this commercial, R62 (And this is not a knock on you liking it! I get it.).

But this tree appears to be about 6 feet from their house, but they only can check its growth once a year at Christmas? Or even if it’s a vacation house are they only there at Christmas and never summer, etc.? If its grandpa’s house that they only visit, why are they there after he’s died? Or are they selling the house and the new owners will only buy if that one tree stays?

I’ll give a pass on only figuring out they can put outdoor lights on it 20 years later because sometimes things don’t occur to you until late.

The Hershey bells, the original. The new one is insufferable.

Hmm, first of all, Grandpa hasn't died yet. He's seen inside the house smiling at the finally decorated tree, acknowledging that "someday" finally came. (I'm glad they decorated it BEFORE he died, so he can enjoy it too.) I figure they're grandkids that don't visit often, and checking out the tree at Christmas became a tradition.
