New "clever" Heineken commercial isn't.
(via) You see the ending coming as soon as our "hero" walks in on the couple (At least I did. But this is my job.) Even if you could somehow accept that he forgot which compartment was his (totally unbelievable), the joke is still a yawner. This stupid fake Heineken spot featuring a young man walking in on his girlfriend giving some guy a blowjob is better. Ad agency: Rothco, Ireland.

You're right, it's predictable crap.
Not to mention stolen from a Douglas Adams novel.
Yes; the Douglas Adams original (from Salmon of Doubt, I believe) is a classic.
At first seeing this ad I thought of Ian McEwan's scene in Solar with the chips on the train -- but then from everyone's comments here (and looking up the Adams thing) this has brought up a question -- did McEwan take the scene from Adams?
Thank you Maria! I might have driven myself crazy trying to remember where I knew this bit from. It was a story Arthur was telling to Fenchurch about a bag of crisps or something, wasn't it?

'So long and thanks for all the fish' and it's biscuits. But it would appear to have older antecedents.
It's from So Long and Thanks, it involves biscuits / cookies, and it's not funny in that either.
