Cool. Just wish it were for a product other than alcohol.

@Rarebear. Thinks for sharing that one. I never saw it. Amazing.

I do not see the problem. It is kind of touching, actually.

tedibear's avatar

I didn’t have the volume up, but watching alone was enough to touch me. I really, really liked it.

Oh, right in the feels!

Guinness is the best.

@Rarebear, that was awesome, too!

I love that commercial. Why are you speechless? Good speechless or bad speechless?

A great message, whether or not you like the product, is still a great message. An undeniable testament to dedication and commitment. Love it (Yes, I happen to be a Guinness fan too :)

Yes, enjoyed it, but…gotta say @Rarebear sharing was superb!
LOVE the mud skippers….and from the primordial mud puddle sprang Guinness. haha

I don’t see what it has to do with Guinness.

The evolution one is pretty cool.

@ragingloli, guess I’m jaded about advertising, having spent most of my career in the business—but all I could think of was, maybe one of the guys was in a wheelchair because he was in an auto accident caused by a drunk driver.

I love it. Guinness always does the best ads.

@Pachyderm_In_The_Room That’s what happened to the son of friends of mine. He and friends were out drinking, he went to sleep in the back of the truck. His friend drove home, not even knowing Mark http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Zupan_(athlete) the link does not work correctly, once linked click again on Mark Zupan to see his story was back there and crashed and Mark was thrown. No one knew he had been back there and he was missing for many hours being eaten by fire aunts, half in a canal, and now paralyzed. I think Mark would love that ad. When I first saw it on TV I looked to see if Mark was in it since he is often featured in wheelchair rugby scenes.

Loved it. It gave me goosebumps.

@ucme If I remember correctly, that one isn’t a real Guinness commercial.

ucme's avatar

@augustlan Yeah I know, remember it popped up in a question here a while back, still funny though.

I’m just speechless
Why?

Seek's avatar

I bought beer today. Not Guinness though. Newcastle fans, it’s officially Werewolf season.

pleiades's avatar

I thoroughly enjoyed this commercial :) I was skeptical at first, then it really hit home.
