I don't suppose there is an MPEG or Quicktime movie of this Lego ad on the
'net somewhere, that anybody knows about?

On the UK's Channel 4 (http://www.channel4.com/entertainment/greatest_ads/)
and through the Sunday Times newspaper (http://www.sunday-times.co.uk)
10,000 people were surveyed on what they thought was the best television
advertisement of all the last century.  The Lego advertisement of 1980 was
number 74.  A Tommy Cooper impersonator voiced this ad which showed a Lego
mouse being eaten by a Lego cat being eaten by Lego dog - in the end they
all ended up inside a Lego kipper going via an
anti-submarine-eating-fish-ballistic missile launcher. Natural progression
of course.  Naturally it ended with Tommy Cooper's catchphrase 'Just like
that'.
