Schweppes brings 1950s Christmases to life

Mother London adds live-action arms and hands (along with some goofy and mildly smutty humor) to classic 1950s Christmas illustrations in these amusing 10-second spots for Schweppes tonic water in the U.K. The voice talent includes Martin Freeman, who played Tim on The Office. The best line has to be: "Don and Tabitha, you're just in time. I'm about to hose down Felicity!" Via The Inspiration Room.

Pretty clever. Makes we want to blow up pictures really big and insert my arm and... that's quite a bit of work come to think of it.
