Political Ad/Centurion LeMans
These ads rarely get my attention, but you know you're a bike nerd when you can pick out the make and model of a vintage bike in a political ad.

...and he carries the bike so that the chain is against his clothes!
Seems like this would ruin his credibility with the bike nerd demographic.

You know things are getting nasty when a kid on a vintage Centurion LeMans is "going negative!"

Hard to tell what the advertiser was thinking...most people roll their eyes when a young buck like this starts spouting off facts and figures related to politics.
Nice catch, OP. I usually scan the background of commercials/shows/films for nice waves. What was the plot again?
