Does this Hovis advert make anyone else cry?
It’s been on TV in the UK for the last month or so and every time I see it I get a little bit teary. If you’re reading this in the US, Hovis is a brand of to be honest, pretty crappy, bread we have here in the UK. I wouldn’t feed it to the ducks, but they do make cracking adverts, so I guess we can give them that. Just about.
I’m not sure what exactly it is about the advert that gets me, so have a watch and answers on a postcard (or in the comments, I’m not fussy) as to what you think it is, cos’ I’m buggered if I can work it out.
Pictures soon, I promise!
Perhaps it’s the shared history of your country that gets you? I thought it was a rather LONG commercial just to advertise bread? But, I’m American and we like everything blasted at us in short, splashy, BUY IT NOW! type sells.

We dont watch much telly but we did think that ad was ACE when we saw it. Cant explain why it makes you cry, tho. Maybe its the price of the bloody stuff. s x

demon wings – pound shop a few years ago, horns – left over from hen night, bar girl skirt – left over from wild west night, corset/wig/glitter shirt/leather jeans – models own(!), wig – from dressing up box. Basically, our house is full of shit like that! s x
