Your Best Bet

Here's something that defines comedy gold, an ad for Carling Black Label from the late 80s which really takes the mickey out of the many scenarios that took place in the ads, but proves that it can work if you get the timing right. And if your not familiar with the campaign itself it probably won't be as amusing.
The ad was originally posted on Youtube but unfortunately it cut off right before the end which I've altered slightly for the clip above.
A possible campaign to analyse on the advertising module next year?

So today is Tour De France day where this afternoon several bikers will be going through Canterbury although it's not the first time it's happened here as 13 years ago, most of us managed to get the morning off school to see the cyclists go through Wincheap as they'd extended the route that year to celebrate the opening of the Channel Tunnel.
