    This is probably more suited to the advertising section but thought id ask it here cause its about drink. What's your favourite drink advert?Which is most effective?I think the Guinness ads are always great,especially the one out now for Christmas,its the only ad on tv that actually feels Christmasy!The bulmers ads are always really good too.

    The Christmassy Guinness one is nice alright.

    The narrator on the Bulmers Ads sounds as if he's been on the sauce. Speech is a little too slurry.

    The Christmas Bud Ad with the horses having a snowball fight is poorly done, I reckon.

    Historically, Guinness have always had great ads, so I'm gonna vote for them.

    But for me the classic Budweiser christmas ones with the Clydesdales does it for me every year. Mind you , I still wouldn't buy their beer.
    Crap beer, but top ad.

    Yeah I really like the new one, the guy going downhill to get beer and downhill coming back, very clever add and fits their slogan "genuinely easy" perfectly.

    I saw the new Honda ad for the first time last night.. thought it was brilliant.. its the one where the guy is in various cars, boats and finally a hot air balloon whilst Andy Williams is singing 'Impossible Dream' in the background.

    Yeah sorry about leaving some out but you can only have 10 choices in a poll.Its not a drink ad,but I love the ad with all the coloured balls in it,so good!.........I think I watch telly too much............:confused:

    Does no one find the music dead annoying? The guy is too lanky too tbh imo.

    Yeah i love that ad aswell and there real balls not cgi which is cool and the music in that ad is brilliant aswell. Back on Topic: I like the guiness xmas ad at te moment.The one where the clock turns to midnight and it starts snowing. really christmassy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 149 ✭✭genegenie


    Rolo used to have the best ads back in the day! Remember the one with Skippy? And the one with the elephant??? Classic! (Not drink related I know, but I just had to mention it!)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 263 ✭✭Local Goddess


    the strongbow ad were they use a strongbow can for voodoo is brill too.Funny


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 432 ✭✭ChumpStain


    Its between Carlsberg and Guinness for me, Carlsberg are always good for a laugh like the Jason McAteer World Cup Dream one. But I love the guinness ads, like the Leftfield, Phat Planet one. I think it was good things come to those who wait.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 990 ✭✭✭mickymg2003


    Guiness do make pretty good ads like the one with evolution going backwards.thats cool. and who can forget that guy just dancing around the place!!!

    Ah, yeah, good advert. For the Sony Bravia LCD.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 263 ✭✭Local Goddess


    do you remember the carlsberg ad where the 3 lads go to the night club and the bouncer looks at their runners and goes "Those trainers, really nice".Thats a quality ad!The Guinness ad with the fellas surfing the waves turning into horses-it was an unusual ad,does anyone remember it?-was voted the best ad on one of those channel 4 poll things a while back,I dont think that is one of Guinness' best ads,I think its probably one of their worst.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 990 ✭✭✭mickymg2003


    No that ad is brilliant. I can remember the drum beat in my head.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 263 ✭✭Local Goddess


    I dont really get why people think its so brilliant,will you please explain this to me?:confused::D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,549 ✭✭✭scuba steve


    Guinness, Budweiser would have been my second choice, then Miller or Baileys
