There are many things that can ruin Christmas.
Dry turkey, sh*t presents, drinking too heavily on Christmas Eve or even that fart you thought was going to be silent at the dinner table at your new in-laws’ house.
Being the only bloke on the moon is probably high up there on the festive fun-spoilers list. Even terrible Christmas advert endlessly repeated from mid-October can damped even the jolliest Yuletide.
Oh, there’s one more we forgot about – that’s having a spectacularly clumsy cat. The type that smashes up the joint when you turn your back for a second.
Luckily Sainsbury’s have that base well and truly covered in their bizarre and absurdly brilliant Christmas advert which features such a creature.
Mog the Cat really f**ks sh*t up in Sainsbury’s Christmas advert offering.
But weird as it was, people of the internet bloody loved it…
Well sainsburys Christmas advert beats John Lewis' quite comfortably. It's brill.

So far @sainsburys Xmas ad is the best I've seen this year.

There were also many people left scared and confused by what they had witnessed…
A cat who eats eggs?! Eh?! #sainsburyschristmasadvert

The more I see the #sainsburyschristmasadvert, the more uncomfortable I get.

Even though last year’s Sainsbury’s advert was co-opting the narrative of rival soldiers coming together on Christmas during the First World War, this guy was more insulted by a cartoon cat burning a house down…

Despite just watching a cat systematically trash a house, these Twitter users wanted one. Don’t come knocking on our door for turkey when the cat razes your kitchen to the ground…
I WANT A MOG #sainsburyschristmasadvert
