Brilliance in (British) advertising

I have a new favorite commercial.

My favorite commercial used to be the Jetta one where the guy licks the doorhandle, but it's been replaced. Replaced by another car commercial, actually.

It starts out with a warning: this commercial contains nudity from the very beginning. If you are easily offended, look away, etc.

Then the scene opens on an elderly naked woman driving a yellow Mini, with an elderly naked man in the passenger seat. They drive down the road, and come upon a middle-aged naked man running down the side of the road. The elderly naked man leans out the window of the mini brandishing a giant fish, and whacks the runner across the ass with it just as the runner turns around to hit the car with his own fish. The elderly man pulls himself back into the Mini, says "That was a good one" to the woman, and they drive away as the slogan "It's a Mini adventure" appears at the bottom of the screen.

Hilarious.
