Anyone else seen it?

It was just on "Five" then. Absolutely brilliant. I thought the Braclaycard waterslide advert was clever but this one outshines it IMO.

Set to "The Stripper" theme tune if anyone is unsure which one it is. Superb ad. clap

Found it on YouTube for you...

Ironically (and perhaps deliberately), the ad was shown during a commercial break the other night when Dave (or Watch or Alibi - i can't remember which|) were showing a tribute to Morecambe and Wise. They showed the breakfast routine, of course.

All the ad did was to highlight the genius that were Morcambe and Wise, and the genius that Johnny Vegas isn't.

First time I ever cried over a celebrities death was for Eric Morecombe.
