The best advert i have ever seen in my entire life. This advert is in black and white which is infact the coulour of the guinness and the white horses represents the white creamy part in the top of the guinness.

Flushed with success from both the general public (to whit, the winner of the 100 best ads) and critical acclaim from advertising colleagues, Jonathan Glazer has obviously been given free rein on the new Guiness advert to allow his artistic licence to spiral completely out of control. The latest advert with its dreamworld of drinking ...

I dont drink guiness but if any advert has ever made me want to buy the advertised item this is it. This is such an eye grabbing advertisement. It is nothing like the usual ones you see and then forget and know that they were made on the cheap. I dont know how this advertisement with the horses and surfers were done but I ...

Premium Review Guinness - Horses and surfers: I Love and Hate this ad! (205 words)

What is wrong with me!!! I should love this advert, it has powerful music, powerful visuals. And it actualy has meaning. Ok so its quite obvious in your face meaning but its there and its powerful. Yet at the same time I don't think it deserved to be award winning. Its hard to be cirtain if it had that special something or ...

This advert was rated as the best advert ever on Graham Norton's TV ads on channel 4 (uk), and, if you ask me, it deserved it because this advert somehow manages to pack lots of emotion into a pint of beer. The special effects of the horses jumping in the waves are stunning, when I first saw this advert I thought that it was a trailer ...

There have now been a number of programmes looking at a range of topics from the top 100 number one singles to the top 100 TV programmes.

Just what is supposed to be so good about this stupid advert.. it's just not that good.. it doesn't have the camp brilliance of the Shake and Vac one, or the Ferrero Rocher one, nor does it have the comedy essence of the Budweiser ones, or even the madness of the Smash adverts! So what 's so good about it, and why was it voted ...

Tick Followed Tock Followed Tick Followed Tock Followed Tick. The sound of a clock. I don't really know why the sound of a clock is being spoken, and I'm not really sure why the men are racing the horses out of the sea, if anyone wants to tell me you can write it in a commentary, but as usual this advert shows that, quote, "Good ...

One of the best TV adverts I have seen in a long time. The impact of this short video clip was amazing. Friends were asking if I had seen it. I think the sheer simplicity of the horses, waves and surfers was what really made this work. In an age when everything is hi-tech, bright, glitzy,and overstated, this advert made a ...

Boom-ba-boom-boom-ba-boom-boom...It's a really catchy sample from Leftfield's 'Phat Planet', that simple bass rhythm drives into your head and doesn't come out for a while. The ad's narration probably doesn't mean anything really, but it sounds good. That and the bass line provides the perfect soundtrack atmosphere ...

I've only just noticed that dooyoo has a category for TV Adverts, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to throw in my two cents, since it affords me the opportunity to criticise that most banal of the visual media, the advertisement. Having said that, there is occasionally the odd surprise which entertains and impresses, in ...

It is estimated that Guiness spends the most on actually making their adverts, but it shows as they produce the best. Following the brilliant one when you see that old man swimming to the coast and back again before the perfect pint and been poured. This advert is equally brilliant and it puts other adverts to shame, like rubbish ones ...

Well a wonderful drink and a wonderful advert. This is actually a strangely inspiring advert and the first time I saw it didn’t really understand it, however I now recognise it as a masterpiece. Simple scripting in ‘He wait’s..that's what he does’ and the whole ‘Tick followed Tock’ is excellent. I’m ...

Guinness - Horses and surfers: Almost worth having a TV for. (233 words)

In the words of the product in question, this advert is 'Pure Genius'. The use of white horses really is a touch of simplistic genius. The white tops of waves are known as 'white horses' and to replace these in the advert with real white horses is so simple it is brilliant. The effect is absolutely stunning, something ...

This was one of the best looking adverts of last year. He waits, that what he does... Genius... The black and white imagery is clever, it wouldn't work in colour. And using horses as a reprentation of the natural force of the sea. Excellent. The music is brilliant, Leftfield's Phat Planet is perfect, really beefy bass. ...
