    that old coca cola truck add is the best i fcuking hate the new one


  • Registered Users Posts: 347 ✭✭desolate sun


    I love the Budweiser ad. It must be 30 years old by now! That was always when Christmas started for me, when I saw that on TV.

    The Guinness ad is just amazing. It's perfect from start to finish. I love the countless impressions of the guinness throughout the ad. And the music, the humour, the cinematography, I even love the girl's voice whispering "Happy Christmas" at the end. Did they win an award for that ad? Cos they should have done.

    has to be the guinness christmas ad


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,577 ✭✭✭lord lucan


    What i love about the Guinness ad is it sums up to me xmas day. "Still" is the best word i can describe it,the silence around the place on xmas day. It's the one day of the year when the hurry,the haste,the frenzy of daily life stands still. There's no traffic on the road,all so quiet. I love it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 642 ✭✭✭salad dodger


    Has to be the old Penneys ad....penneys got a whole lot of things for christmas, got a lot for the family, lah lah lalalaa lalalaa lala lah lah...aaaand so on.

    Shame its not on anymore :(

    Hey homer o/ When posting youtube videos, what you need to do is, take everything after the = sign in a URL and put it in [noparse][/noparse] tags. You can get these tags by clicking this little button when you're typing your post out youtube.gif.

    So this

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmgf60CI_ks

    becomes this

    [noparse][/noparse]

    Becomes this

    there's traffic all over the place since the shops started opening on Christmas day. everyone looking for cigarettes at the corner shops. :D

    God, I hate that smug beardy twat. I hope they do an ad this year where he's hit by the recession, has his guitar repossessed and someone punches him in his beardy face. I have a warm glow of Christmas cheer just imagining that. :)

    I've looked for that ad on youtube and am amazed to say it's not on it! I need to see that ad again! That's the one with the cartoon boy isn't it?

    But there was also one with the elves working in Santas workshop! I LOVED that!:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,740 ✭✭✭Asphyxia






    Budweiser ad and the Coca cola ad are favorites as well :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,139 ✭✭✭olaola


    The Guinness one makes me cry! And I love the Budweiser and Pennys.
    "Pennys, got a whole lot of things for Christmas, got a lot for the famillleeeee...."

    Budweiser for me, the one at the start of the thread and perhaps the Penneys one on the radio.

    "Holidays are coming, holidays are coming".


  • Registered Users Posts: 623 ✭✭✭QuiteInterestin


    Used to love the old Penneys ads, used to play a game where we had to count the number of penneys shopping bags in the ad (back when they had the old green and cream plastic bags :) ). Love the An Post Walking in the air ad for Christmas stamps/post by dates though never saw it last year so maybe its not used anymore. And of course the Coca Cola Polar bear ad, so cute!

    I'm certain I saw it several times last year on RTE1.

    Definitely the Coca cola one...I squealed when it came on the tv the last day, from the excitement of it!
    and
    The Kellogs one with the litte girl "ho, ho ho"
    and
    The budweiser one with the horses...I love those horses! They are fab!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,577 ✭✭✭lord lucan


    Is it just me or does it seem that there's less xmas ads on the tv at this stage compared to previous years?


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 27,651 Mod ✭✭✭✭Posy


    Seen the CocaCola 'Holidays are Coming' ad for the first time this year the other day, sooo excited now!! :D:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,432 ✭✭✭df1985


    The Guinness one for me by a mile too.Its the one xmas ad I could watch in July and enjoy, plus we'll be seeing it for years to come I think-timeless.

    I love the budweiser horses too.

    Notice that myself the only Christmas ads I've seen so far are the furniture stores and the Meteor De-Scrooge Ads, I can't recall seeing any of the old-school classic ones yet!

    I've been told that the coca cola ad and the an post ad have been on already! Usually they start coming on more once we get into December:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,639 ✭✭✭Miss Lockhart


    Guinness one on TV3 just now! :D

    Absolutely LOVE it - my favourite by a county mile and feels so appropriate in the current weather. :)

    Totally agree. It was on again later too..as soon as I hear the first note I start welling up. My favourite Christmas ad by a long, long way :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 448 ✭✭Bbbbolger


    Always thought it was the Coca-Cola and Budweiser ads that I loved most but when I looked at it here I realized that the Guinness ad is perfect. It's everything Christmas is...warm, moving, still and full of wonder...yes I may have over analysed a little but I just cant help it when I see these ads :D. Love the ad for An Phost as well!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,167 ✭✭✭shanec1928


    Guinness hands down. its is simply class.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,234 ✭✭✭thetonynator


    All the coca cola ones! (all posted already so i won't youtube them . . :P)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1 CareBearGirl


    The Guinness Christmas Commercial is thee best advert ever. It brings a lump in my throat & a little tear in my eye every time i see it. I love the fact that they play this true classic every Christmas. Does anyone know what/where the piece of music is from? The walking man in the snow, the streets, the fox, very well put together! Kudos on whoever created........


  • Registered Users Posts: 190 ✭✭sunrise91


    Without a doubt the old Coca Cola ad with the truck! Love it, always know Christmas has begun when it comes on..
    And of course the Guinness ad, always reminds me of Christmas Eve.
    And the Kellogg's ad too, my friends and I quote it all year round! How old is that little blonde girl now I wonder?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 671 ✭✭✭Shoe Lover


    How has no one mentioned the Barry's Tea ad from the Radio. The one with him describing coming down the stairs on Christmas morning and he goes and buys the train set and the wife is like "sure that's not what they wanted" and he says "Santa will bring them what they want, this is from me....put the kettle on". LOVE IT! :D


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 6,755 ✭✭✭A V A


    tbh i havent seen the budwiser ad with the horses in the snow
