Joined up adverts

[Stevesw]

anyone remember an advert with cowboys and indians in it where the cowboys gatecrashed the following couple of ads? Seem to remember them riding through a supermarket.

was it for Carling black label??

Might well have been. I seem to remember a comedy duo in it, cant remember their names though. The one guy played 'vaseline' in Londons burning. They used to appear in Friday night live with Elton, Mayall, Edmonsen et al.

Yes, I remember that ad, and I think Sally is right in saying it was for a lager (though it wouldn't have been for Carlsburg would it?).

The cowboys broke out of their "ad" and into another, or series of fake ads, often in different aspect ratios, this being at a time when 16:9 broadcasts were becoming more common, but we still had a few 4:3.

Well everyone is right - it was for Carling Black Label. I saw the ad on YouTube a few days ago, so here it is.
