Friday’s ad is again from perhaps the 1950s, a third one for the Indiana brewery Drewerys. It uses the slogan “more flavor, less filling, more fun!” THis one has a third different model making faces to express each idea. Hilarious, that’s Big D. Yet again.

Heineken James Bond Ad
I know I should be complaining that the Ian Fleming character James Bond would never drink Heineken — and I have in the past — but this new commercial for Heineken, which debuted today, is too much fun. I’ve been a huge Bond fan since my dad took me to see Thunderball in the theater when I was six. So this is an especially fun ad since it features items, and people, from previous Bond films. How many can you spot?
