Throwback Ad of the Week : Guinness – “Surfer”

Posted: October 4th, 2009 | Author: Shaun | Filed under: Ads, Classic Ads, TV | View Comments

Guinness has always been known for their advertising. This 1999 commercial titled, “Surfer”, is arguably one of Guinness’ most acclaimed and memorable adverts.  Aired in the UK, the ad displays the joy and excitement that comes after waiting for a pint of Guinness to be poured.  It was the most award winning commercial of 1999 and was voted the best commercial of all time in 2002 by a Channel 4/Sunday Times poll.

How about a classic Listerine commercial from 1973 featuring the legandary Morgan Freeman? From now on, every Monday I’m going to bring up a classic ad back from the advertising vaults. Thanks Carmen for the heads up on this one.

“The Taste People Hate. Twice A Day.” Such a great tagline.
