A Cigar Called Hamlet Advert

This advert is so simple yet so effective. Anyone in the UK will remember the famous Hamlet adverts that ran in the late 1980's to early 1990's and this one was probably the best of the lot.

All the Hamlet adverts during this time were starred by famous British comedians and none is better than the star of Rab C. Nesbitt, Gregor Fisher.

It may just be us British that find this advert funny, even though it is so simple it carries a strong advertising message that can really be felt when watching this amazing advert.

To me this is what you call the perfect advert, there is no technical magic or high paid hollywood actor. This advert is simply a comedian on a chair nothing more and nothing less yet the advert keeps you riveted.
