Summary
The advert features several monsters being interviewed about Sir Dan, the skeletal protagonist of MediEvil. “Skinny guy, one eyeball... disgusting,” says Frankenstein, drinking a beer in Budapest. “Odd fellow, clubbing zombies with chicken drumsticks,” says the Mummy, clipping hedges in Bath, England. “Always babbling about honor and stuff... so somebody woke you up from the dead to fight the forces of evil. Big deal!” says a Cambridge ghost. This is interspersed with footage from the game itself.

What better way to discuss Sir Dan, the skeletal knight/hero of a computer game titled MediEvil than to interview his chief antagonists. “Skinny guy, one eyeball disgusting,” says Frankenstein, drinking a beer in Budapest. “Odd fellow, clubbing zombies with chicken drumsticks,” says the Mummy, clipping hedges in Bath, England. “Always babbling about honor and stuff so somebody woke you up from the dead to fight the forces of evil. Big deal!” says a Cambridge ghost, who looks way too much like Sid Caesar (now that’s scary). Throw in computer animation of Dan the Man and the spot plays well.
