It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a really good commercial on TV, but this Guinness advert certainly reaffirms my faith that their can be great humor in great advertising.

    To view the video – just click on “great humor in great advertising” which will take you to YouTube – search “guinness beer” and scroll down until you see the picture that’s displayed in this post.
    It’s worth the time.
    Thanks, Paul!

    That was hilarious. Absolutely loved it. I don’t know if you’ve seen the Umbro soccer commercial, but that is also quite good. Here’s a link for those interested http://video.yahoo.com/watch/224780/417341

    Haha loved it – I think that’s the beauty of the internet; brands can produce slightly risque adverts that wouldn’t get shown on TV buy get millions of hits online.
