SAY WHAT?

Search: New Zealand Christmas ad 2017

This hilarious ad for Air New Zealand pokes fun at the Kiwi accent and opens with Santa taking direct requests

from kids on the phone. Apparently, Santa’s quite the linguist — he manages a call in Chinese like a pro — but

he gets stumped when it comes to the Kiwis, and ends up with odd requests like a biscuit ball, a puggy bank and an

ear plane. Maybe all those lousy presents you’ve been getting are the result of bad diction.

SANTA FLAWS

Christmas ad

The adorable little boy in this ad for a

French grocery store wants just one thing

for Christmas: for Santa to lose weight.

The poor lad is so concerned over Santa’s

expanding belly he decides to put him on

a strict diet. In his quest to help Santa eat

better, he ends up falling in love with the

culinary arts. We say it’s probably the best

gift Santa could’ve ever given him.

CHRISTMAS FUTURE

Search: Edeka - Christmas 2117

The future depicted in this ad for a

German supermarket chain is not bright

at all. Humans have all but disappeared

in this futuristic wasteland ruled by

artificial intelligence. However, one bot

decides to break away from the humdrum

of its routine existence in search of

something more. He finds it when he

connects with a human family over a

bountiful spread. Food, it seems, is a

universal language in any era.
