In the UK a major insurance company is putting out a string of "comedy" ads for its business. All using UK comedian Paul Whitehouse [The Fast Show, Harry enfield etc] in a variety of guises.
The latest one is called "Free Love"
They tend to do a shorter version as well, and last night they aired one with this character on one leg playing the flute, the pose was instantly recognisable. It hasn't been uploaded yet, but as soon as I can locate a copy I'll add it.

Looks like a funny ad campaign. I would be interested in seeing the one with the one-legged flute player when it is posted up on youtube.

I can't figure out how to put it here either, because it's very specific in asking where you want to put the code...so whatev
That was funny, but it made me think of only one thing...IA didn't/doesn't like hippies...
Does anyone remember when TAAB was on the Hyundai commercial a few yrs back?

No, the main 40 sec ad has been but not the shorter 'flute' version.
I'll try and add it to one of my websites and see if I can route a link from one of those - No, that doesn't work!
Maybe I could do it via facebook, or I'll cough up the cost of buying the download.

There is a local furniture company that does their own commercials and used Locomotive Breath, just the beginning guitar stuff, in their furniture commercials. I have searched and searched but it is not online. I think maybe because it is kind of non-descript otherwise...just shots of furniture with LB in the background...but still noteworthy for a thread like this, lol!

I have the Miller Genuine Draft Locomotive Breath commercial on video somewhere. I'll try and find it and post it here.
