For some other product, not a bad ad but it is just the most pompous and overblown way ever to advertise a supermarket .

Wow--I'd never shop there based on that ad alone.

I can't quite tell if it is over the top on purpose, like a self-parody. But the fact that I can't tell means they failed.

I don't think it is parody, Waitrose has a middle class target market and I am horribly afraid they thought this would get the punters flocking in.

It doesn't look much different from the over-produced saccharine ads that show up around Christmastime. I'm guessing Waitrose isn't exactly Tesco.

Heh, it's the anti-Tesco. :-)

My mouth is watering. That food looked delish! :-)

Looks like a bad Italian Garden ad. I'm surprised there weren't more fuzzy puppies and kittens involved.

I was thinking the same thing...those Yorkshire puddings at the end...droooolllll...I may have to get a roast out and make those with it this weekend.

Needs more boobies.

Concerning said commercial. It got your attention. Not only did it grab your attention it got you talking about it on a msg board. Some astute Ad man/woman/he-she-it did their job quite well wouldn't you say.

I shop at Waitrose because there is a branch near my house, I suppose the cringe quotient was high enough for me to comment about it here, but I don't think the intention of the ad was to make me feel vaguely embarrassed at the thought of shopping there.

Oh, it is and this is the perfect time of year for it.
