This commercial with Dalek was unexpected. I like it.

Robot:H A M L E T T H E M I L D C I G A R

even the 80's predicted the eventual rise of channel 5 joe parodox i think so.

I thought I’d dreamed this! I was always slightly freaked out by Hamlet ads. Thank you for unearthing this unsettling relic!

Cigar & pipe tobacco smoking were seen as less harmful to the smoker, hence why they were shown until the early 1990s, when passive smoking was taken much more seriously. TV cigarette ads had been banned in the mid-1960s, as health implications were seen as much more serious.

Published on 22 Jul 2018 *NOTE: This logo ident is called Hamlet "Happiness is a cigar called hamlet from Channel 4 parody.* Nicknames: "Cigar", "Happiness is a Cigar Called Hamlet", "The Mild Cigar", "The Channel 4 Television Theft", "A Channel 4 Rip Off!", "Rede Tupi Cigar Cousin" , " Psygentlic Cigar", "Trippy Cigar", "Acid Shape Face", Logo: On a black background, we see the blocks into the number shape "5" (simliar to the 5STAR logo). it "rewids" going faster backwards, the blocks turning into a crumbled shape (severely botched 4). "That looks like Air on G String" the crumbled shape turning into a sad face. and a block cigar smoke the guy is smoking the letter "O" and a blue smoke and disappears the words "Hamlet. The mild cigar" the eyebrows wiggles. turns a happy face. FX/SFX: The Channel 4 parody into a Cigar identity....... Music/Sounds: The Channel 4 fanfare and stops and sound "rewids" and another blatant use of Channel 4 music. and stops a sad synth fanfare ditty. and the Channel 4 announcer says "Happiness is a Cigar called Hamlet. The mild cigar." turns into a happy music. Cheesy Factor: .........really inspired of Channel 4 fanfare blatant use. and a synth ditty. Availability: Rare. Scare Factor: TBA Editor's Note: TBA.

i love fourscore

continue . the more wierd ones were an blue print guy going on about an toshiba fst that got parodied by alexi sayle . and the scotch vhs advert featuring archie the skelleton voiced by deryck guyler and the tune was an rift on the buddy holly song not fade away that later on by the rolling stones .

Correction: The "mole" you mentioned is actually just another part of the nose.

How about the time Pizza Hut did an advert involving BBC2 idents in the 90s?

On the 2nd try the music is like "oh i give up"

The only thing that you did not mention is that this commercial was made by Lambie-Nairn/

Have a good week yourself, Adam.

The Hamlet Robots could have been a follow on from Bjork's All Is Full Of Love promo!

Have you considered doing a review on mock idents as the channel 5 ident you show frequently is a mock

Do you think this was operation for channel 4's current astetic.
