It looks like multiple beautifully textured versions of the DAZ skeleton in this animated british beer commercial clip. Quite a hoot - free to view. No popups or such I could see.

...looks like a heavily morphed version as a puppy or cat skeleton trotting thru as well. They have good teeth, so they can't be the standard Poser skeleton.

It's certainly not the standard Poser skeleton. Fantastic piece of animation, full of little details. Should be studied by anyone who wants to learn how to distinguish characters with minimum visible resources! Caused me to think about the definition of nudity. I somehow don't apply it to a skeleton; like a dog, it simply can't be described as nude or non-nude. But seeing the skeleton standing in front of the WC caused an interesting bit of cognitive dissonance.

Its funny how we also look at movement and gestures. The skel walking around the pool table carrying the cue was obviously a lady :)

If this is the one I'm thinking of, I read about it in a magazine. It isn't the DAZ skeleton; they modelled it, slightly different for each one.

Oops. "They" is the animators who made the commercial.

I think there was an article on the artists involved in 3d world magazine? It was not done in poser though, from what I remember. I am at work at moment so can't dig up the mag, I think it was done in Maya.
