18 Adverts, 18 Snacks, Zero Dignity

WARNING - MR BLOBBY CONTENT IN 'WAS IT BEST LEFT IN THE 90s'.It’s the most wonderful time of the year… and also the most unhinged. Episode 70 marks our annual UK Christmas Adverts & Snack Ratings Spectacular, where Tom and Rob take on 18 adverts and 18 festive treats in a marathon of ho-ho-ho’s, ho-ho’s, and the occasional definitive no-no-no.This year’s lineup includes everything from robot cars in San Francisco, the eternal question of whether Titanic is a Christmas film, Benedict Cucumber-Snatch’s Grinch legacy, Asda’s “Very Merry Grinchmas,” and the kind of baffling advert casting choices that can only happen in December. Keira Knightley? Joe Wilkinson? Cheese counters? Sure.Alongside the ads, the table is absolutely covered in snacks: Skittles drinks, spicy crisps, imported German Liebkuchen Rounds that may have spiritually changed one of the hosts, and enough sugar to put the Reindeer Union out of business. Expect passion, confusion, festive arguments, emotional breakdowns over bakery products, and a lot of surprisingly deep food analysis.If you love Christmas adverts, hate Christmas adverts, or simply like listening to two grown men slowly lose structural integrity across 90+ minutes… this is your episode.Listen now on:🍏 Apple Podcasts🎵 Spotify📱 Goodpods🔗 https://pod.link/Channel84Social DetailsNow open - Reddit!!The Variety Show on Reddit - https://reddit.com/r/TheVarietyShowFind us on:Twitter - @_VarietyShowPodBlueSky - @TheVarietyShow.channel84.co.ukInstagram / Threads - _VarietyShowPodTikTok - varietyshowpodFacebook you can find us with Studio:Channel84.We are part of the Studio:Channel84 network and are featured on their site https://channel84.co.uk.Finally, why not e-mail us:TJ [email protected] [email protected] Hosts [email protected] created by the amazing Ryan at Geeky Brummiehttps://geekybrummie.com#Christmas2025 #Adverts #Xmas #Christmas #Xmas2025
