Even as a teetotaling Southern Baptist creationist, I find this British TV ad hilarious.

Tip o'the hat to James Lileks (as if he needs another link).

GREAT spot, Eric ... enjoyed it a lot more than that "Brilliant!" series that's running in the U.S. right now.

Very funny, very imaginitive and, also, very well researched. It's hard to imagine, but, at some point, the ad agency-types hunkered-down with an anthropologist, and actually seemed to have listened as he went over the evolutionary process that led to that 21st-century creature ... homo sapiens pubcrawlerensis

Me? I'm glad we evolved. I'd take a pint of Guinness over a bowl of primordial soup anytime.

Well, given that choice, even I would join you at the pub! ;-)

I had the same thought as you about the interesting level of detail that went into the capturing of the evolutionary process. I'd love to know their budget for the ad.
