I'm assuming you haven't played either Rockband or Guitar Hero at all?

Oh nice!

You should hop over to Video Games and ask for explanations in the Rockband or Guitar Hero threads, if you're curious and haven't played either game. Not really appropriate here, IMO.

A beautiful commercial...

You can depend on Guinnes for QUALITY adverts

white horses
I love this one! Go to a beach n a windy day when the wind is blowing from shore to sea for real white horses!

Dancing

Rhythm of Life
:D 'pluh'!

and my favourite...
We have all the time in the world

It has to be said though, that the best adverts bring out the best in the competition. Possibly my favourite ad ever (and in case you don't get it, it's saying you DON'T have to wait for Murphy's to settle, though the reason for the samurai is beyond me....)
Murphy's Instant

There's also an anime version if anyone's interested.

I hate the local small business comercials where the owner hires his tone deaf daughter to sell their product..

more than that i hate the Enzite boner commercials ..not the ones with happy sam or whatever his name is but the ones where some guys talking about how much better his life is now that he can have normal sex life again.. ..man..if you want to make a million just say whatever your selling makes sex better and makes your male member grow substantially. even if not true there are those who will buy it NQA

I reckon they filmed this in the Eglinton Valley, south island of New Zealand (or near Mt Cook national park...looks very "Gondor/Rohan"...)

and this one is a cracker as well! You Can Do It - HNNGHGUHH!!! :lol: (I think it's because I like the Pythonesque toon!)

Do you cry or cheer when Visa use your favourite song for their latest advert?

I cry.

Even though it's really good. And it's so new it's not on youtube yet. There's a link here though (takes a while to load).

(If anyone's interested, that's 'Isla de Enchanta' by The Pixies and the ad's about the football World Cup in South Africa)

I get a kick out of the ads that are selling prescription drugs, but 1/2 the commercial is the list of side-effects.
"And in some cases, may be fatal."
"Side effects may include constipation and diarriah"
(How do you have both???)

And half of these commercials don't tell exactly what the product is for, but tell you to ask your doctor.
If I took Midol, it would be the worse period of my life I'm sure.

Abolutely love the Bud commercials with the horses.
Best one I've seen was the one where some young ponies are under a snow-covered tree kicking snowballs at an older horse.
After a few hits in the face, the older horse walks over to the tree and kicks the trunk,
dumping all the snow out of the tree and on top of the ponies.
Revenge is sweet!

What's really funny is when you see a commercial, say, for asthma, and one of the side effects is death...caused by asthma....

Dairy Milk are rapidly catching up with Guinnes as my favourite ad makers. Saw their new one for the first time tonight....

Yes, we have Heineken here, matter of fact, I've got a 6 pack going into the freezer to chill in about 10 minutes, so, it'll be drinkable by the time I get home from work.

I think I may have seen that commercial out of the corner of my eye the other day
