Monday’s ad is for Carlsberg, and is done by famed fantasy and science fiction artist Frank Frazetta in 1985. Using the tagline “I Told You Not To Touch My Carlsberg,” the painting suggests the carnage that might ensue should someone decide to “touch” his beer. There’s another slogan at the bottom of the ad, “Denmark’s Greatest Export Since the Vikings,” which may explain why they chose this work by Frazetta.

Beer In Ads #1989: 007, Dangerous Except When It Comes To His Beer
Sunday’s ad is for Carlsberg, advertising for the James Bond movie, the Living Daylights, which premiered July 31, 1987. In the ad, a torso in a tuxedo is pouring a glass of Carlsberg for himself, while a pair of female hands caress the man. He’s obviously meant to be James Bond, and the ad carries the tagline “He’s dangerous and he takes chances. Except when it comes to his beer.”
