Carlsberg think they make the best adverts, the best everything. They barely make the best beer for a fucking start.

Jesus, what an ad ...... as much tension as any scene from a Hitchcock movie ....

@pacmandem Well at least i'm not a filthy muslim like you.

Cheeky Plonker - 13 years ago

@pacmandem Yes it can twatasauras rex. Think about it, the pope has the opinion that catholics are superior to protestants. Yet this is wrong because every right thinking person knows Allah is the ultimate God and Authority. Blessing be 'pon you.

Well maybe there's a better commercial out there. I've yet to see it though. An utter masterpiece.

Cheeky Plonker - 13 years ago

@PureJapaneseSteel 1st lulz comes from your sweary butthurt reply, 2nd lulz comes from the fact your calling me a philistine yet you can't even spell it correctly and you're clearly a 13 year old boy that listens to GTA soundtracks

Cheeky Plonker - 13 years ago

@PureJapaneseSteel your opinion is wrong

Cheeky Plonker - 13 years ago

Click CC, Transcribe Audio, and laugh your arse off. Still the best ad ever though.

george36255 - 13 years ago

@marcoscotland1 care to explain why? the reason this advert is near universally hailed as the best ever is because of the power of it. I dont know any audience that when they watch it, isnt gripped by the story unfolding how effective is that, we see a minute of this man's story and you can learn from him I'm not being argumentative? im just explaining reasons why its such a good advert so in your opinion what advert is better? the only one that i can think comes close is the john lewis 2010

Bad Driving Britain - 15 years ago

go back to school, learn how to spell and like a good band

Max C - 15 years ago

The main use of using white and black was to try and symbolise the Guinness colours.. As a glass of Guinness is black and white, Black being the main liquid and the whtie being the foam on the top... They try to create the advert a bit like their glass... If you go to 0:16 you can see, with imagination, the slight representation of the Guinness glass.. With the white foam of the sea being the foam on the glass...

MrDWatkins1 - 15 years ago

best thing about pints of guinness that look like that...you can only get them in ireland! can rarely even get them in dublin, you need to go to the back arse of nowhere usually. stinger - rest of the world
