John Lewis Christmas advert parody
The Poke website has re-edited the John Lewis Christmas advert.
You'll need to have seen the original advert for this to make sense.
The Poke edited this together within just four hours of the advert being launched. The original features computer-generated foxes, a badger and a squirrel who enjoy a late-night bouncing session on a new trampoline. The Poke's version seeks to addresses the disappointment of the child in the advert whose long-awaited Christmas gift gets hijacked by wildlife and her pet boxer dog.
The ad was conceived by James Herring and Jasper Gibson along with Dave Packer. James says: "In our version we have aimed to raise awareness of the mild annoyance of urban wildlife experienced by middle class city dwellers. For many it's a problem." Jasper added: "Our video was made for considerably less than the price of a John Lewis Trampoline."
