| Description | This advert features a man with square monocle and top hat made from an accordian, who begins the advert by saying "I observe with my little eye"; a scotsman playing an octopus shaped bagpipe; a basketball player, who calls out "Yo, Observer!", seen in sepia through a blinking eye-shaped gap and a man with dreadlocks shown in black and white. The soundbites to go with each clip are mixed up, creating a sense of randomness and confusion.
