1. May I be the first to recommend? What a totally awesome and surprising

commercial.

LOVE IT!

[Nicole]

2. I love it too.

I doubt that I will ever see it aired here though.

3. Second K&R.

The whole video tape thing threw me for a loop, thought it might be a vintage '80's commercial. but very doubtful with the plot line! good beer, great commercial, excellent message.

[Kingshakabobo]

8. It's at least 10 years old... I've seen it played in the local Chicago Gay/Video bar, Sidetrack...n/...

[intheflow]

9. That would explain the video tapes.

Still a very good commercial.

[Kurovski]

36. Sidetrack is where I saw Howard Dean speak.

He was the first presidential candidate to speak in such a venue.

[Lorien]

4. Awww...

sweet, but I feel for the blonde fellow!

[intheflow]

10. Got that right!

[Hamlette]

16. I was more taken by the other guy

maybe cause I identify with him...

[Totally Committed]

5. That was awesome!

I loved it.

6. K & R

[glitch]

11. What an excellent quote from Voltaire. nt

[mikeargo]

7. Wish it would run in this country...

Just to see Freeper's and Fundie's heads explode

[loudsue]

12. WOW!!! Just WOW! Now THAT is a good commercial.

That should be played over & over on teevee, instead of some of the shit that passes for advertising we have to watch every day.

:kick::kick::kick:

[Orsino]

13. K&R Wow! n/t

[Maraya1969]

14. The blond guy looks like Jake Gyllenhall from Broke Back Mountain

I think Jake Gyllenhall is adorable BTW.

15. Really cool. The British Commercials are consistently good.

They had one a few years back where you see a man, heavy-set with a moustache, come home from work..He walks into his dingy apartment, and proceeds to get undressed and change into women's clothes. As you are watching, you are totally perplexed as to what the hell this could be a commercial for.
After putting on a bra, a corset, a wig (don't forget, he has a moustache)a dress, hi-heels, he reaches over and picks up a leash. There on the floor is a lovely little pup, wagging its tail and looking very lovingly at the man. It is a commercial for the RSPCA, and the overdub says that one should adopt a pet, as they love you no matter what.

[Straight Shooter]

26. Thanks for sharing that.

But sometimes I'm not so sure that my dog loves me, no matter what. ;)

[lolly]

35. OK, that reminds me . . .

Of an old Monty Python skit . .

With John Cleese, I believe, and someone else? Don't think it was Eric Idle--

Anyway, 2 button-down British men on the train chat about the mundane things in life (jobs, crabgrass, whatever) as they change from their suits into women's clothes, complete with pantyhose, wigs, hats, high heels.

Then, when they're done, they head for the door marked "Ladies," and one complains "I wish they'd hurry and fix the Men's Loo on this train."

oh--on edit--loved the commercial.

[applegrove]

17. That was cute.

[AnnieBW]

18. I'll drink to that!

Thus disproving the myth that all gay men are neatniks.

* Annie quaffs a Guinness :beer:

[roguevalley]

19. how lovely this was, the look on the blond guy's face: "Good thing

I love you or you'd be sorry." Lovely commercial.

[mzmolly]

20. I love it!

:toast:

[TankLV]

21. Great Video! The repuke and fundies would just shit if this was on TV!

God I wish it were running on American TV.

Good for Guinnes - now I have another excuse to drink their beer - it's a great tasting beer!

[DarkTirade]

22. That was really cute. :)

I'm not a huge guiness fan, but then again, I'm not a big beer drinker and Guiness, unlike most of the crap we get here, is a real beer. :)
Wow, talk about your run-on sentances...

[Cha]

23. Wow!~ That is the cutest

damn commercial..and why does it illicit tears(me too)?

[tavalon]

24. Wow, two in two days!

Yesterday the feel good post was about Johnny Vera, the transgendered person who won prom queen in Fresno, CA and then this today. Just wonderful to see!

[maggiegault]

25. Commercials like this one remind me how much I hate living in the United States.

The JesusFreak morons would have a field day with this one, and we all know that Everyone Must Pander To Them And Their So-Called Beliefs.

[Hamlette]

27. there are lots of countries worse than the US on this issue. n/t

[maggiegault]

28. Yeah, but I ain't living in one of those other countries!

[Hamlette]

30. point taken

but still, I'd rather be here. On balance.

[Kurovski]

29. That was cute,

K&R.

[burrowowl]

31. Worth the wait on a modem!

Really cool!

[NobleCynic]

32. At first I was wondering why a Guinesss commercial would make it to the Greatest page

But damn. The times are changing.

That was bloody hilarious.

[SeattleGirl]

33. OMG, I love it, I love it!

Don't expect to see this in the US any time soon, so thanks much for posting it!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[sellitman]

34. My favorite drink and

a commercial to piss off the right

Perfect!

I'll have another perfect pint :beer:
