    The end came as a surprise to me as I was so focused on their playing. I guess that's part of the point.

    I am supposed to remember guiness form this commercial? I came away with the idea that if people see each other as equals we can all walk in each other's shoes comfortably.

    Damn :slight_smile:

    That was a pretty cool commercial. If I were in a wheel chair and my friends did that for me, I would buy them any beer they wanted and a lot of it!!

    Best advertising I've seen in a very long time.

    Good plot line for a "meh" beer.

    Lots of feels in that commercial, but there's almost no focus on the product. Good idea, poor execution.

    All tell, and no sell. They expertly told a very moving story, but they did a poor job of linking the brand to that message.

    Sometimes you remember a product because of a lesson conveyed. It's not going to make me buy Guiness, but I wouldn't criticize them for not pounding their product in every scene.
