Forget 'Masters of the Universe', the best live-action He-Man and Skeletor encounter was in an insurance commercial

As every streaming platform inevitably becomes like linear TV and offers up more commercials than common sense, we're left sighing at the 360 that society has taken. Still, if these spots were more like the Masters of the Universe-themed MoneySuperMarket advert that aired in the UK in 2017, maybe audiences would be more tolerant of these incessant ad breaks.

Set in the evening, the scene broods as an unknown figure, only identifiable by his terrible Lego haircut and furry boots, stomps toward the Stallion Saloon. It looks like one of those rough places where too much liquor and too much testosterone culminate in bouts of fisticuffs for no good reason. Remember that bar that Arnie walks into in Terminator 2 when he's out shopping for clothes, boots, and motorcycles? It's basically that mixed with the cantina from Star Wars.
