I like this one from Stella where the Plague has broken out in the 1800s and this French doctor can only prove he’s clean by sharing a drink with suspicious villagers
I used to like this one as a kid
Not the same brewery, but the one with Melanie Sykes in an ace cream van was a favourite to me as a teen
That’s brilliant, and god she’s stunning
The ad that’s just the end scene of Ice Cold In Alex where they get to the bar and order a Carlsberg (spoilers).
It’s illegal to advertise alcohol here, so…
Can’t say I’ve missed it though.
Wales?
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rE1lIdtDs2g is a classic of the genre
I bet this ad was timed to how long it takes to pour a Guinness, too.
Edit: Maybe not, the rule is 119.5 seconds.
I remember that. There were more abstract ones too if I remember right. I can remember the music but not the video.
If you’re thinking of “We have all the time in the world” it’s zooming out from an abstract space of clockwork planets and the like until eventually you find out it was all he happening inside a settling pint.
Oh wow I had forgotten about that one. I just looked online, the music I was thinking of was The Dancing Man. Not as abstract as I remember though
I remember that! It was a man doing a funny dance, right?
I tried to explain this to Australians in the pub but it just made me sound crazy.
Don’t even need to click to know it’s one of the Guinness ones
Yep definitely a classic
That was amazing. I have no idea what audience or messaging Samurai’s in Neo-cyberpunk Tokyo have to do with wanting a drink, but damn do I appreciate the artistry.
I guess, the people who want that drink are serious punctual men who accomplish their goals by any means, and that resonates with the desired audience?
Ohhh… it’s based around Akira’s Seven Samurai somehow hahaha. Weirdly, this one is not mentioned in their wikipedia
Advertising
In 1992 Whitbread commissioned well known film director Alan Parker to create a series of adverts shot in and around Cork. The campaign “like the Murphy’s I’m not bitter” was successful and marked the peak of the brands success in Great Britain. In 1997 an anime television advertisement was created for Murphy’s called “Last Orders”.[12] It was created by Production I.G (the creators of Ghost in the Shell), and directed by Hiroyuki Kitakubo.[12] The 60-second film features six fierce samurai who rush through a post-futuristic megalopolis to make it on time for the last order at their favourite pub. It was the first anime style commercial film ever aired in the UK and Ireland.[12]
