were these adverts, or comedy clips

[galbak0]

ok, 2 adverts?

1, opening scene was a industrial kitchen, seen in ultraviolet?, all sterile surfaces, and then someone opens a fridge, and sprays a chicken with a coloured dye. it then cuts to a time lapse sequence showing the spread of the dye, during the day, from the chicken, the message being to wash you hand properly,

2, opening scene was a hole in a road, with a work crew digging it out for something, then a second crew turn up from a diferent company, and ask can they use the same hole, it contiues in this vein till we see many people in the hole, and the camera pans upwards to show a hearse, with the funeral director looking into the hole, asking if he can use it as well.

any one know if these were real adverts, or comedy things?

and do you have urls where i can re-watch them, they were so much fun.

Real ads ...

Yes they were government ads to educate and inform
1. Was to show how easy it is to spread bacteria when preparing food.
2. The 2nd was to show that councils were going to try and get all the services that dig up the road to join forces so that the road is only dug up once. (In Theory)
