So it appears Toys Rus have **** up again; after going to the trouble of reanimating "There's a magical place..." in 2009, this year they've nabbed a naff American advert to use instead.
Cue much vitriol and grammatical hilarity on their Facebook page.

DEAD

I saw that during the footie.
Interesting choice of character to use, I suppose that it's better than endlessly using that tune for their standard ads. It reminds me of the monster family that sky used a couple of years ago.

Strange... odd choice of voice acting, terribly forced-at-gunpoint dialogue and a weak idea in the first place (which competing online retailer with a real world presence
doesn't
offer Click and Collect?). Leaves you with the feeling that Argos is just as redundant a concept as you suspected it was... and four blue aliens.
Now the Smash aliens deprecating Argos, that's what I'd like to see.

What's so special about that? It's awful. Freddie's as dull as dishwater. The John Lewis one of the other hand deserves and Oscar for short film. Fantastic.
Never thought Morrisons would out do M&S at a Christmas advert, but they have this year!

I totally agree regarding the John Lewis advert, there's something magical about that story. And everybody remembers being a kid and the feeling of waiting for Christmas morning.
Back to Argos, I'm not sure what to think about it. It's a shame that there's been such a departure in the past few years. This one from 2007 (if I remember rightly) encaptulated a lovely Christmas feeling, in my opinion.
