Christmas Adverts with Justin McElroy

Ohhhh I bloody love Christmas but I bloody love ADVERTS more! Mmm yummy I want to watch them all even more than I want a mince pie! Is what Asda hopes you’re saying every year. Justin McElroy joins us again to discuss whether British people eat soup, before we dive into an exploration of the weirdly emotional, long, expensive Christmas ads that somehow became A Thing in Britain. Plus, Charlotte knocks it out of the park with a game of Bonkers Blokes.Support us at patreon.com/whatsallthisthen for weekly bonus episodes, and video too!
