Sure to induce laughter, this Carlton Draught 'Beer Chase' commercial spoofs 1980s [car chase scenes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-capri). Made for the Australian beer brand by communications agency Clemenger BBDO, this hilarious advertisement captures all the possible staple of car chases within the action movie genre -- yet there is a catch since not one single car is involved. Both cops and robbers alike hold on to their Carlton Draught with dear life through the entire getaway.

The surprisingly original idea is executed to perfection from a [killer soundtrack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desperados-beer) to a typical set pieces. Though the cast in the film would not be able to outrun a car, they sure can provide a tank full of laughs.
