John Lewis Christmas ad gets a brilliant election makeover DATE: 2024-05-29 16:43:43
The John Lewis Christmas ad -- which was unveiled last week -- has been given a post U.S. election makeover and the result is a thing to behold.
SEE ALSO:Another John Lewis Christmas ad, another Twitter explosion for this poor guyThe original advert features Buster, a boxer dog who loves to trampoline so much that he spoils a 6-year-old girl's Christmas present, to the shock of her and her parents.
In a stroke of brilliance, Joe.co.uk made a parody video that features Donald Trump as Buster, Barack Obama as the parent who builds the trampoline and Hillary Clinton, naturally, as the daughter who sees her surprise ruined.
It ends with Trump/Buster smiling on the trampoline with a sign reading "You can't always get what you want".
Incidentally that's the Rolling Stones song which was used by the president-elect in many of his rallies and at the end of his first speech after winning the election.
The music featured in the original John Lewis ad and the spoof is "One Day I'll Fly Away" by Vaults.
At the time of publication Joe's parody video had over 93 million views on Facebook.
