Heineken commercial - Water In Majorca

[massmouth]

Oh wonderful for sharing this. Classic. Many thanks

[AlexAlcyone]

Legendary. For those wot don't know, it's a pastiche of the "Rain in Spain" scene in "My Fair Lady" where they are attempting to teach a cockney girl to speak proper ladylike.

I love the way her facial expression shifts one gear after one swig, then goes all the way after two.

[wenqiweiabcd]

so..,. the girl drinks some bear and starts talking in Cockney accent; while the young man drinks some and starts talking in American accent. Is that correct?

[choppageworshipper]

Aint seen this for like at least 25 years :-)

[BigChrisButler]

Cobblers...

[hannahc888]

The waw-er in Majorca don't taste like how it ough-a xD

[ewhurst]

Possibly the best UK Advertisement of all time.

[GriefTourist]

couldnt get this ad out my head during the fred west thing!!

[daddyandholly]

And she's on TV tonight....playing the police officer investigating Fred West...!

[piranhavitana]

That girl is called Sylvestra_le_Touzel and appeared on New Tricks on BBC TV last week.

[2100Rose]

Has that girll ever been in anything else ? Also I might mention that another good Heineken advert was the one where it took the piss out of the Milk Tray advert .

[skymelville]

Kevin spacey's dad???

[glenm125]

This was an awesome sample when my son had a Cockney role in a play.

[broo0ose]

30 years on and the same actress is in "Lewis" tonight.

[scyllaandcharybdis]

god i've never watched this advert til today! its gr8t! i really like it :) and look, not single dislike ^^

[danielaung691]

Damn sylvestra would get it ;) 

[unswungpendulum]

I love this ad - loved it at the time. Still great

[MatlockJack]

Sylvestra Le Touzel; what a talented actress, just view THE SHORT AND CURLIES (Parts 1+2) on this website. She plays opposite David Thewlis, also superb and it's one of the funniest scripts ever penned.

[foopiez]

isn't it illegal for a beer commercial to show people actually drinking beer? look it up.

[dmc1200]

@foopiez Not back then, this was about 1986.

[danielaung691]

@foopiez LOOOOL this is like 30 years old dude

[fluffymole0913]

@foopiez The law is probably either newer than this advert, or very inscure and isn't actually enforced.

[gamewizard]

I showed this commercial to my British ex and asked if she could speak Cockney and she got mad at me! She said only low class people talk that way. I learned a lot of rhyming slang and used it around her just to embarrass her and piss her off. :D

[BigChrisButler]

@gamewizard she must have been a right stuck up cow!

[hannahc888]

@BigChrisButler Or she just speaks Received Pronunciation...

[BigChrisButler]

@hannahc888 yeah, a stuck up cow!

[hannahc888]

@BigChrisButler No, we just speak the standardised more respected version of English. Which people stereotype as 'stuck up cows' because Cockney is seemed as more 'cool' but it isn't because respectable people speak it like members of Parliament, the Prime Minister, the royal family and most educated and respected people. And also Standard English is the way we right so you are just calling yourself a stuck up cow really...

[TheNightWriter101]

I'd have her, deep.

[VeronicasMidget]

@TheNightWriter101

Thats so shallow.

[TheNightWriter101]

@VeronicasMidget Sorry, I let you down, I let her down, but most of all...I LET MYSELF DOWN.

[danielaung691]

@TheNightWriter101 Amen to that brother ;)

[chrisplettucedood]

One of the best ads ever. Top class.

[pufferfishish]

0.41: I pretty much pissed myself laughing.

INTERESTING FACT #56 of 101... the girl in this ad, Sylvestra Le Touzel, played the part of Helen in The Boy From Space ('Look And Read' 1970s)

[starfishelvis]

Classic.

Even better than I remember it!

[futymed]

In those days the Adverts were often better than the movie.

Oh , wait , nothing has changed.

[ilovethismusic]

I can't think of a funnier advert than this! Brilliant!

[joshllerrrrd]

the water in majorca don't taste like what it outa!

[HeWazARed]

Brilliant!! End of story!!

[Boratlon]

it pains me to see such beautiful rp being killed

[chipzipzap]

refreshes parts other beers cannot reach :)

[cisco9x]

I bet she drink Carling Black Libel ?

[jimmythesnagglepuss]

@cisco9x hahahahaha

[JakubBarttys]

my sponsor yeeeeeeeeeeees !

[citigurl16]

Hahaha! That was funny

This video is for everybody who thinks there is only one type of british accent!

[jaw1024]

this advert shows there are actually.... 2!!!

:P

[stevebritgimp]

That's Sylvestra Le Touzel - many years later she's in Northanger Abbey - which is also on Youtube.

[pufferfishish]

@stevebritgimp ...and many years before she was 'Helen' in Look And Read's classic story 'The Boy From Space'.

:)

[effyleven]

There are some lovely touches in this little classic. Anyone notice the underground train pulling away?

[mrbrightside841207]

HI-LA-RIOUS :D

[thenewgirlawakens]

LOL

[andyc163]

This is a great commercial from a series of funny Heinekin ads..Does anyone remember the hole in the ground vid??I think that was an "Only Heineken can do this" type advert in the UK.

[megadethmonk]

'er sniff ties ther 'ol bit tegetha!

[basicskil]

Brilliant. Bryan Pringle was one of my favourite ever actors. Much missed.

[rooster1066]

It's fantastic! I remember seeing it on Channel 4's "Best 100 TV Adverts". It didn't make number one but it should have!

[goonah72]

Waited YEARS to see this again.The best ad EVER!

[xoundboy]
