John Lewis Christmas Advert Alternatives Show What The Story Could Look Like In Real Life

These things don't always pan out quite the same in real life...

While many Brits were on Wednesday busy expressing their gratitude to John Lewis for the joy its Christmas advert brought to them - others more amusingly suggested what would actually happen if their advert took place in real life.

This year’s advert features the story of a little girl and her dog who both love to bounce, set to a version of Randy Crawford’s One Day I’ll Fly Away.

Buster the dog can be seen watching longingly as wild animals enjoy jumping on Bridget’s new trampoline the night before Christmas - but the boxer finally gets his chance the next morning and is watched wide-eyed by his human companion as he finally gets a go.

But some suggested that things might be rather different in real life once the novelty of a trampoline wore off...

Remember a trampoline is for life not just for Christmas #johnlewischristmas #JohnLewisAdvert #johnlewis pic.twitter.com/3zgMZFmKBW

It can sometimes be hard to get your stars to co-operate...

There were some regional suggestions...

The Welsh version of the @johnlewisretail advert is pretty shoddy. #BusterTheBoxer pic.twitter.com/v8U2vKWKVm

The unofficial account of Number 10’s pet cat Larry suggested things would be a little different for a feline...
