For those of you who find advertisments to be hi-larious.

That is an incredibly awesome ad! And, strangely, the first time in history I think advertising will actually work on me. I've never heard of that beer before, but because of that ad I am going to buy it next time I'm at the liquor store.

EDIT: You have no idea how hard it was to get this to work in linux! But I win, and now have a copy of the video file itself that I can play anytime. :-)

Oh, my God.  I think beer tastes like piss (I'm more of a wino, myself) but I HAVE TO BUY THAT BEER.

Man I've seen that so much I've started singing along to it.
"This ad better sell some blooooooooody BEEEEEER!"

Even though the smell of beer alone makes me want to puke, if I could drink I would definitely buy that one.

For those who likewise prefer alternative operating systems and can't view the ad, here's a direct link to the movie file. Not quite as good quality as the high bandwidth java player version though.

This might have been linked elsewhere on this forum, but I figured a thread about humorous beer ads sure needed this one!
Guinness Ad (http://xepher.xepher.net/downloads/Guinness_Evolution.mov)

Oh, and here's a link to another great Guinness ad... Don't have a video version, so you'll have to put up with the tiny flash-based one. http://www.guinness.com/gb_en/ads/Free-In.htm (Ashley: This is the one I mentioned to you earlier today.)
