# Benson & Hedges/The Wave Commercials (1987)

Two commercials created in 1987 by Omnibus/Abel animation - originally for Benson & Hedges, aired in Malaysia. Since U.S. laws don't permit tobacco advertising on television, stateside viewers might recognize them as they were repurposed for "The Wave" radio stations and/or from various computer animation compilations (usually with different soundtrack). For posterity: the character at the start is live action using a costumed actor, computer animation humanoids and cloth hadn't reached a practical stage yet.
