AMERICAN REACTS TO UK CHRISTMAS ADVERTS | AMANDA RAE

UK CHRISTMAS ADVERTS 2021

[@righthandofdoom77]

The Sainsbury's Christmas advert set during the Xmas truce of WW1 us the best xmas advert ever.

[@LADYRAEUK]

I’ve heard about that one ‘

[@paulgardner6239]

I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas. As an Englishman living in the US I was bawling my eyes out at every advert. So many memories of Christmas back home with my Mum when I was younger.

[@LADYRAEUK]

We did thank you, I hope you and yours did as well 🎄

[@martinconnors5195]

I miss my Beloved Maternal grandparents, and become extremely emotional at this time of year. Especially around late November and early December (with my birthday too; December 12th)

[@carolynhaywood7701]

Most of the British adverts at Christmas are like mini stories. Merry Christmas to you. The stepdad is my favourite.

[@LADYRAEUK]

Thank you! Merry Christmas 🎄

[@krisjonesuk]

I’ve had that “Smile” song (originally from Nat King Cole), from the first ad as an ear worm for some weeks now.

[@_The_Able_Gardener]

'Love is stronger than blood.' - A saying the Disney advert reminded me of. Wishing all of you the very best for the new year. take care. 😊

[@numbersix8336]

My favourite was the stepdad one, having been one, it can be the one of the most difficult of the year. When you get it right ( it can take a while) it’s one of the greatest feelings ever. Thank you for all of your videos. Happy new year to all

[@LADYRAEUK]

Happy new year to you 😊

[@moirs1985]

Hope you've had a wonderful Xmas. Thank you for making this year as great as you have. I haven't seen that Disney advert before and you shedding a tear got me emotional too 😭

[@LADYRAEUK]

Thank you so much! 😊 I hope you’ve had a merry Christmas and a happy new year 🎉

[@emmawatkinson6438]

One of the best ever has to be the Sainsbury's ad from 2014 with the cease fire in World war 1 in 1914

[@garystanley6097]

That Disney advert got me too. Wonderful, truly wonderful.

[@busterbricks]

I love watching amandas observations of life in uk/usa,she is also absolutely cute looker

[@LADYRAEUK]

Thank you!

[@philiprose1901]

Wow, that Disney Stepdad Video was something else, so emotional, FANTASTIC.

[@LADYRAEUK]

😊it really got me lol

[@josephmifsud8261]

That was a really moving video. The Disney ad was made to make people think about family and how important it is

[@garethfarman9540]

The John Lewis ad this year is one of the all time greats. A real challenger for the best ever with Sainsbury's 2014. Hope you had a lovely Christmas and have a great new year

[@LADYRAEUK]

Thank you! I hope you do as well

[@buggybill2003]

All the Aldi adverts have always been inventive and funny. Merry Christmas x

[@B-A-L]

I hate the Aldi ads, especially the one last year where you saw a carrot being cooked alive and the sad expression on its poor little face!

[@LADYRAEUK]

Merry Christmas 🎄

[@chindleymuffin]

They are full of puns and plays on words, using food items in the names of the characters, like Charles Chickens instead of Charles Dickens and Ebanana Scrooge, Marcus Radishford. 😂

[@FrazerGoddon]

One of my favourites from quite a few years back was from Sainsbury's. I think it was their 2014 advert. It showed the humanity of the soldiers in the trenches when they stopped fighting for Christmas. Always gets me too, war is mostly started by people that won't be fighting it.

[@LADYRAEUK]

I’ll check it out

[@jackthelad8182]

Love these Christmas videos I think the Disney video pulls on the heart strings makes me think of my son and 2 daughters and the bond you form with them And how much love is there my children still hug me and vice versa even though they are 25 19 and 17yrs old the bond and love is still there great content once again my best wishes to you and your family amanda

[@ericheaton8545]

Thank you Amanda for all awesome reactions since i started watching months ago, i really appreciate all the hard work and effort you put in, along with real emotions, i did watched this the other night late on, but had to come back, to say hope you had an a great Christmas and best withes for an happy new year - have an awesome 2022 filled with joy and happiness.... take care ❤❤😍😍❤❤

[@LADYRAEUK]

Thank you so much Eric, I hope you have a happy new year!

[@johnpilgrim3906]

We are enjoying your videos Amanda, may we wish you and your family A Happy and safe New Year.

[@timelord5920]

Love the Boots ad… mainly because Jenna Coleman is in it 😘

[@cuthbert246]

Lovely vid. I have seen the Disney advert several times it still makes me cry. May you enjoy the rest of the holidays, and keep uploading, I really appreciate your efforts and they always make me smile (except when I'm crying...but I'm supposed to do that...right) Best Wishes.

[@LADYRAEUK]

That one really got me lol Thank you! I wish you all the best

[@elroymartyn8429]

[@gosportgeezer]

The John Lewis was my personal favourite. But all Great videos Amanda, hope you and your family had a Merry Christmas 🎄

[@LADYRAEUK]

Thank you! Merry Christmas 🎄

[@stuartallison2490]

Happy new year Amanda, hope you and your family had an amazing Christmas, for me the best xmas advert ever had to be Sainsbury's 2014 WW1 advert. Being an ex-soldier myself it touched home as i've been away at Xmas a few times, obviously not in conditions as bad as that. I don't mind admitting i did bring a tear to my eyes.

[@LADYRAEUK]

Thank you! I hope you’ve had a lovely Christmas and new year

[@richardhargrave6082]

Hope you had a great Christmas I thought the Disney one was too long when I first saw it, Gregory Porter's singing is so wonderful that I didn't notice this time! Its hard to pick a favourite, the whole advertising industry and a lot of retailers have raised their game this year

[@thepymes]

Hey Amanda, I hope you had a great Christmas! If you enjoyed these then you should check out some of the all time great UK Christmas adverts: Sainsburys 2014, Boots 2014, Sainsburys 2015, John Lewis 2017, John Lewis 2019 to name but a few.... I promise you these are all time classics that people return to every year - they're that GOOD!

[@LADYRAEUK]

I’ll check them out! 😊 I hope you did as well!

[@martinconnors6200]

That advert with the Grandmother figure in it, made me cry because I miss my beloved maternal Grandparents so much. Both lost their lives to Coronavirus pandemic in January 2021 within the same week. Light a candle for Les and Irene Robertson xx. Rest in peace Nanna and Grandpa I miss you so much. I miss my beloved Maternal Grandmother so much 😢😢

[@rogerlee9147]

Hi Amanda, a little late, but you should have a look at the 2011 John Lewis Christmas advert. This one was a game changer. It ignited a desire for advertisers to show meaningful messages. I can’t remember an advert that was so well received and talked about.

[@KathrynLiz1]

Yes, I teared up with the Disney one too! :-D

[@Perl88]

“That Disney one can bring a tear to a glass eye!” as my grandad used to say.

[@LADYRAEUK]

😊

[@ltsecomedy2985]

Compliments of the Season to you Amanda, your family & the other commentators/Subscribers !! Best Wishes for a better New Year for everyone !! Always great to watch your reactions, by the way, I`ve got to say, the hat suits you !! :)

[@maledwards4944]

Amazing adverts. I don't know if you've ever seen it, but the John Lewis advert 2015 is one of my favourites. The man on the Moon.

[@LADYRAEUK]

I’ll chrvk it out

[@Superbokka]

Great video as always Amanda. Come on people we need to get Amanda to 60K by New Year.

[@LADYRAEUK]

Aw thanks so much paul! I hope you’ve had a lovely holiday 🎄

9:24 I love the ice skating advert I just listening to Bolero song it's so lovely 👍

Thank you Amanda.. your one of our favourite American cookies.i was talking to an American lady from Texas she didn't know what a dalek is 'dr who'' !!blessings 🖤

[@eamonnclabby7067]

I love the cockney accents of the Daleks...must stop diving behind the sofa...

[@julietannOsfan1972]

I think the Step-Dad one is my favourite. I also really like the John Lewis one. As soon as the John Lewis Christmas ads come out I get excited, as I know it's nearly Christmas.

[@stuartarnold64]

You got off lightly there on the tear jerker front. If you react to best John Lewis Christmas adverts, you’ll need a whole box of tissues 😂

[@LADYRAEUK]

I’ll check them out 😊🎄

[@Kari_B61ex]

Hi Amanda - I got home earlier today after spending the week with my Daughter, son-in-law, grandchildren and her in-laws. We had an amazing Christmas! This was my first watch of the Disney ad and I loved it - it was very emotional for me as my stepdad passed away last year. He was my 'Dad' for 48 years and my daughter's Granddad all of their lives. The ad really made me shed tears - of sadness, mixed with happy memories.... I hope you all had a lovely Christmas... sending best wishes to you and your family for a happy and healthy 2022. x

[@LADYRAEUK]

I’m so sorry for your loss . Im glad you’ve had a lovely Christmas 🎄 I hope you have a happy new year

[@glennwhittaker197]

Hi Amanda, YAY! I finally watched all your clips up to date! I know why the Disney advert got you, that house & snow with the family just hit you where the memories are of your Christmas’s in the States 🎄🌨☃️ I loved number 2, my fav Doctor Who companion Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman) doing Mary Poppins with the bottomless bag 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 So magical 🌂👜 Happy Holidays 🇬🇧🤗🇺🇸

[@daniellemerritt7258]

There's one Xmas advert that still gets me. Sainsbury's Christmas truce ad. A recommended watch.

[@LADYRAEUK]

I’ll look it up

[@jonathanwetherell3609]

Lewis's consistently do some good ones, the old man on the moon being a fav. The Cadbury Gorrilla, a classic, also the string of Guiness ads.

[@LADYRAEUK]

😊👍🏻👍🏻

[@richardlaasna8372]

Hi Amanda! I hope you had a lovely Christmas. My favourite was the John Lewis Ad. Of all the adverts shown, I've only seen the Aldi advert. I have been working a lot as per usual though. Cheers!!!

[@LADYRAEUK]

I hope you were able to enjoy it a bit! 😊 Merry Christmas 🎄

[@richardlaasna8372]

Yep, it's quiet working at nights as per usual. I do have Sunday & Monday nights off but Christmas is over by then :( Never mind for this year! Happy New Year! Will be working on Saturday night, as usual, same on this one.

[@mfrost71w]

You'll note that advertisers have woken up and now reflect the true ethnic make-up and diversity of Britain which, according to these adverts, is now 90% black

[@theotherside8258]

I've never seen any of these played in full on tv

[@harryjamessmithmusic7762]

In my opinion, the best was the 3rd one. 6:26 ... I just like this one. lol ... Great filming and editing style and great music choice. The music was very important there. Btw. Enjoy the rest of the year, Amanda! And all the best in the New Year 2022!

[@bryandavies6074]

Marcus Radishford, Fairytale of New York and A Christmas Carol? All wrapped up in what Aldi do with their Kevin the Carrot money? It has to be Aldi for me. I'll give Sainsbury's a nod though - for having the class to use Etta James' At Last. Great vid again, thank you Amanda.

[@elysium1977]

Hey Amanda, hope you and your family had an amazing Christmas and thar 2022 brings you all the success and happiness you could hope for, thank you so much for your channel and your videos, they are by far the best "American reacting to all things British/American Living in the UK " videos on youtube and this is in no doubt due to your awesome warm and genuine personality.... oh that snort when u laugh helps too !! but again thank you for your awesome channel and all the best for you and your family for 2022

Why do they make adverts emotional? Right in the middle of a comedy.... Bam hits you in the face!! Hope you and your family had a good Christmas, all the best for, and please keep the videos coming in 2022.

[@davetherave6192]

Great reaction! We do love our tear-jerker Christmas ads! Always great stories of emotion and the great British humour thrown in! Do you have the same style of Christmas advertising in the U.S? I don't know if you remember the M&S v Aldi caterpillar feud a while back? But if you look closely at the Aldi advert (at the beginning) you'll notice the M&S caterpillar being taken away in handcuffs 😂

At least over the past 20 years or so, John Lewis has produced the most memorable Christmas ads. When I was at school in England for six years, there were no TV ads, as commercial tv was very new. In those days, it was stores' Christmas window displays and lights which drew the crowds.

[@tommycockles2947]

Happy new year Amanda,i hope you had a great xmas,ive just watched bigus dickus again for the umteenth time and billy connollys colonoscopy sketch,your reaction to them both was hilarious.you were asking for suggestions about programs to watch i recommend that you watch the early series of still game scottish humour at its best,

[@darthwiizius]

Sainsbury's ad from 2014 is the best IMO.

[@LADYRAEUK]

I’ll check it out

[@petejones879]

Out of all of those.. The only ones I've seen on the TV are the last one with the Alien girl and a shortened version of the one with jenna coleman in

[@chindleymuffin]

John Lewis usually spend a ridiculous amount of money on their adverts each Christmas, it's at least a couple of million pounds, if not more. I haven't seen the Disney advert before, that took me by surprise and I hadn't seen the Amazon Prime Video advert in full until now, it is usually edited down to fit advert breaks. The Boots and John Lewis adverts have been shown a lot over Christmas, especially on the Dave channel. You should see some of the Christmas adverts from previous years and even the classic adverts from the 80's and 90's. The biggest stand outs used to be the Coca-Cola adverts (which seem to be missing this year), like the ones with the Polar Bears looking at the Northern Lights and the classic Coca-Cola truck advert, with the Holidays Are Coming song in it. Have a Happy New Year Amanda!

The golden age of adverts for me were the 70s and 80s with the beer and cigar adverts.It was mostly beer adverts.A cigar advert for Hamlet showed a bald man trying to take a passport photo and as he sat on the seat it dropped and it took a picture of a few lines of hair that dropped over his face.On the second and third attempt he kept pushing back his comb over and happened again.Funny that

[@christinebakewell3475]

Great stuff ,our adds were always story telling even in the 60/70s but they’ve become like mini movies, I think I preferred the oldies because of the naivety ( and creativity with a very low budget). Used to think all countries did adds like this ( how wrong was that ? ) nice new US - UK Comparison, keep on keepin on , Merry Christmas 🤪🎄🎅☃️🙈❄️🌨🥶🧑🏿‍🎄🎟.

I have to be honest, some of our best Christmas adverts are much better than the TV shows. So much goes into their making; the storyline, the filming, the animations and so on. If those people made full length films...
