Certainly within the UK, Guiness is the product that has consistently produced some of the best television adverts over the last 20 years. Rarely is an ad boring and they have always combined clever visual stimuli with some cracking soundtracks down the years too.Unsure how many of these have ever be seen outside the UK, so...here's some of the best;(know there's a few but they are all only about a minute long)    

As a proud descendent of the Guinness / Magennis family (along with half the island of Ireland) I would have to go with Phat Planet (surf video) being my favorite, 2nd fav. would have been the "Guinness dancing man" below:

Excellent commercials...the soundtrack on the surfing one is absolutely tremendous!

Love the penguins...hehe!

Ahh, the memories...and headaches... ;-)))

The Surfing Horses one came first in a 'The 100 best adverts' TV show a while back if memory serves me correct (which may be doubtful after the consumption of copious amounts of aforementioned dark syrupy substance).

Cheers ma dears! 8-P

Well Alvish, as a proud descendant of the Donnelly family (who kidnapped St Patrick and took him to Ireland) there is a tradition that any descendant of the Magennises have to buy me at least 4 pints every March!!!

Iain you seen the current Barclays advert with the water slide? I got to get me one of those.....sod driving to work.

Yea Guinness have always been good at producing adds ? from posters in the 1930s/40 to the TV adds today.

The surfing horses is a fantastic add. The domino 1 at the time was the most expensive add ever made by anyone.

This is the new one being shown here the last few weeks

Good as the adds are I still cant drink the stuff - unless its very very late and theirs nothing else left

By the way the music on the surfing one is by leftfield for those that are interested.

Had forgotten that tradition till now ... 4 pints will be in the post.. don't blame me if they spill tho

Horse Surf tune is leftfield - Phat Planet (try the Dave Clarke remix )

I might have to go out to an Irish bar and have a pint now...
