A number of distinctive TV adverts have marketed this brand of lager over the years.

A man sitting in a restaurant eats a bus. The kitchen staff are seen dismantling a red AEC Routemaster.

The ad dates from around 1989 and has comedy duo Mark Arden and Stephen Frost (alias the Oblivion Boys) revising the classic punchline 'I bet he drinks - eats - Carling Black label'.
