ALDI have just ripped the mick out of the holy grail of Christmas TV adverts, and everyone loves it. Published to YouTube yesterday, the video's description reads: "Watch our latest TV advert, featuring the return of Jean! Aldi prices are anything but astronomical." The ad then sees Jean says he likes both telescopes - which have a £40 difference in price.
The Twittersphere was quick to show its approval...
Anyone seen the @AldiUK twist on the @johnlewisretail ad? Bold move by Aldi!
