what [edited by admin for foul language].
no wonder clients are putting their money into other media.
who the hell do you think is going to want to drink this stuff after seeing this contrived, [edited by admin for foul language] drivel?

Nope. Completely out of brand character. Completely disappointing. Completely lacking in the style and grace that Guinness ads have come to stand for.

I agree. I was wondering how it was going to become clever in the end and then it just didn't.

Boring, sorry.

Now if she had of poured it down her pants...

Great ad. And it's not out of brand character, either. How do I know that?

Because I'm a Guinness drinker, and I laughed at the ad, while thinking to myself that I haven't had a pint in a few days. Great song, although the Etta James tune has been a bit overused in recent years. The acting and cinematography are great, and it's well-edited.

Guinness has never been anchored to one type of ad. Sure, they have the classic look (what a great logo), but even in recent years the "Brillian!" commercials are very choppy, quirky, and particularly uncharacteristic of such a timeless brand. But they work.

And so does this.

I agree. Great ad. It made me want to go to Ireland. It was really cute, and then delivered a laugh-out-loud ending. Plus, it had a complete A and B narrative without a single line of dialog! That's an impressive thing to do in a few seconds. Nicely done!

Already done, also with Etta James singing, in 2002. And the original one, for Antarctica (a brasilian beer), is much better.

Enter www.almapbbdo.com.br, clientes, Antarctica.

It's indeed funny. But I knew what was going to happen the moment specky received her Guinness
