Robert Carlyle: the story of Johnnie Walker

[kroatoen]

I want to make out with him

[TheaterParamore]

I want to make out with Robert Carlyle's voice...

[BIGBODYHACI]

he was the only good actor at sgu

[ArwenMelsan]

I could listen to his voice all day! lol

[122275]

shit, he did that all in one take.

[KushRushKushRush]

whats the end's music ?

[MrBrillare]

Love how Carlyle has stayed true to his roots

[ajriveraruiz]

he should had drink a shot at every checkpoint on the story........try to keep walking after that........

[JoeyvKoningsbruggen]

Robert Carlyle is amazing

[JoeyvKoningsbruggen]

Robert Carlyle

[JoeyvKoningsbruggen]

who the actor ?

[charliesheenwinner]

This is one of the best commercials I have ever seen

[donerlich]

Great walk to go with a great voice! One of my fav actors.

[neosoc]

Wish he could've been given a better whisky to advertise...

[Rasenchidori]

so when do the zombies come in?



[FluffyxBunnyxHuggs]

my name is john walker but everybody calls me johnnie because of this brand. hey it could be worse; they could call me captain morgan or jack daniels lol

[Zerkezhi]

I miss Stargate Universe :-(

[NSmithmier]

At around 1:10, he says "smart enough to be lucky." Shouldnt it have been "lucky enough to be smart" or am I missing something?

[amongsttrees]

@NSmithmier I've heard the sayin 'smart enough to be lucky before. I think it goes on the sentiment that you make your own luck in this world. Or so I think. I could be wrong on that one, but it does ring familiar...

[donguyenngoctuan]

cool

[LeDudeLebowski]

all in one take? fucken A

[LilKempy]

This is a long ass commercial. Longer than music videos.

[wylde47]

keep walking



[MrBang400]

3 people are on wheel chairs!

[Tuuralihn]

@skleung I bet only 4-5 takes. Carlyle is THAT good.

[chambros1996]

What path is he walking on in the commercial and where is it?

[TjexNotKex]

"Mr. Wallace" ... 

[damillionmalania]

Just got the black label today. I hadn't tried it before since it's not a common whisky here (even had to specially import it since the only company which is allowed to sell alcohol in Sweden didn't keep it in stock). It blew me away. A new favourite for me! Even my friend who only likes the really smokey single malt whiskys like Ardbeg and the like absolutely loved it. It's great! :) Definatley going to buy another bottle somewhere down the line.

[MrPaulAlcantara]

interesting

[Satchel334]

This video is great but I'm guessing some CGI was used in this.

[johnhalliday3]

Robert Carlyle ' utter genuis'

[LordDarkwater]

Robert's great. Love his part in stargate universe. But in this ad he is quite difficult to understand due to the accent. Any chance to create english subs? :)

[Suppystar]

Awesome commercial, awesome speaker. <3 Robert Carlyle.

[gsmaciel]

no was I'm gonna poison my body with that shite.

[damillionmalania]

@gsmaciel I'm not much of a drinker either, but that's not what whisky is all about. You sit down after dinner and have a couple of centiliters of it. You don't fill your glass to the brim. At least that's not the way I've been taught to drink it.

[gsmaciel]

@damillionmalania I'm just joking, actually. This is a famous line from Robert Carlyle's character (Begbie) in the movie Trainspotting, referring to heroin :)

[damillionmalania]

@gsmaciel Fuck. I've even seen trainspotting and I didn't even pick up on that. Sorry mate, now I'm embarrased. X) Have a good day!

[gsmaciel]

@damillionmalania Haha maybe the line isn't THAT famous! :D

[damillionmalania]

@gsmaciel Maybe or maybe not, all I know is that I really liked the movie. :D

[redman8903]

Piper, shut it.

[verysleepy100]

3 people can't walk

[Nessie309]

Diageo who own Johnnie Walker are abandoning the home town of Kilmarnock - where Walkers have been since 1820...Big Corporate money grabbers have no sense of history...

[MarkFidelio]

Anyone know this lovely song that plays in the background of this beautiful ad ?

[CulturePub]

@MarkFidelio The music track was composed by Jamie Masters at Adelphoi Music.

[chucklepants69]

what a brilliant AD!!!!!!!!

[karlruppert]

hey guys be careful about Johnnie Walker, coz there is a Jiayani Walkshing a chinese version of Johnnie walker , the bottle is also square with invert whiskeys brand at first it looks like the original brand , but when u see the price its dangerous coz its cheap , its a black label also, but when u taste it taste like whiskey blended with Ginseng along chinese root grass it tastes likes rotten noodles. it doesn't walk it will guide u to the bathroom

[monish295]

Well timed by actor. . ..

[Rasenchidori]

it woulda been awsome to see kill some zombies at the end... thumbs up if  you get this

[pauloteixeira2]

Keep walking.

[cjwright79]

How does this stuff taste?

[amanwithnoarmz]

Anyone watch him walk away at the end and pray that he didn't stumble on a rock?

[Noctis411]

In filming terms, this is called a "long take". It's where the camera rolls uninterrupted, in this case for 6 minutes, and there are no cuts made.

Excellent acting performance by the way.

[iheartheidy]

RUSH!

[FlavioSousa35]

I'm going to buy a bottle of Johnnie Walker RIGHT NOW!

[ZBrianNdevu]

Brilliant Ad . . . I saw it at the cinema before a movie and was the only idiot left clapping hands after it finished. I felt like skipping the movie and going out to buy a bottle there and then. Pitty my girlfriend had a different trail of thought regarding my acquisition, especially because all bottle stores were closed by then. . .#KeepWalking

[Ariwar4]

this is like poetry, its so awesome.

[BGDzakon011]

EVER NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE between WHISKEY and BEER commercials???

Beer commercials portray wussy, insecure, spineless, childish, immature, pansy ass, pussy wipes, whimpy excuse for a man idiots. Whiskey commercials, mostly different story.

Wonder why... :)))

[apia13]

@BGDzakon011 not all beer comercial's are ;) look for duvel (belgian beer)

[TheRowRo]

i have green adn black over here!!!!! i want gold and bleu sooo bad :(

[MrBang400]

One of the best commercials of all time!

[breachbangandclear]

that has got to be the first time robert carlyle has picked up a whiskey bottle, and NOT smashed someone over the head with it.

[jthittinger]

Vocal dubbing at its finest.

[flptraira]

nice song. Anybody knows that song?

[LeogajeIII]

Robert Carlyle... as johnny Walker.... Hehehe :D

[BRjp007]

johnnie walker has the bests commercials ever i rather see this than any of does crappy seasons on tv...

[MuseManMike]

Infinitely more interesting than any episode of Universe.... : /

[bordenwesley]

Black Label--Best blended scotch for the price!

Keep walking, Johnnie!

[peatree28]

WTF IS UP WITH THE SOUND OR HIS VOICE NOT WORKING

[TFR2087]

When I saw this guy, I expected to see zombies.

[A1R5N1P3R]

"Smart enough to be lucky" really...

[samottley1]

@A1R5N1P3R it's a scottish thing we say weird things like that

[samottley1]

@A1R5N1P3R it's a scottish thing we say weird things like that

[dennisminnick]

At a Johnny Walker event we were told this was done in one take.

[Mona01E]

It was one take - times 40, and the last one did it...

[brl182]

@bigeast2 : definitely a feat in itself....yea i went in LA on wednesday night, very informative event....i mean free booze, is there any better kind?

[brl182]

@bigeast2 : what i mean is, this was the first time out, they only had to do one take rather than keep going back....or so i heard at one of their tasting events

[brl182]

the rumor is he did it in one take

[sickbrain]

This, this is how you make advertisement work. Awesome.

[marcoskuhne]

brilliant

[4dbandit]

Begbie! Magic!

[Laurika87]

Amazing story. Great commercial. Delicious accent. PERFECTION

[milosmicky]

thats how you tale a story!!! Thumbs up!!!

[3enl0]

Great whiskey, even better advertising. The brand sells it more than the whiskey.

[aulduron]

Cool commercial, bro.

[metalkura]

Johnnie Walker, is now my favorite? its because of this video and DFS Galleria

[daminisitaram]

I love him!! His accent is awesome!

[TheMasterBucks]

1 person is a cunt. Simpily put, this ad is amazing and 1 person is about to die lol

[twiztakus]

fuck JD and the american craps! all hail allmighty scotch

[navitzki]

EXCELLENT COMMERCIAL/VIDEO! It encompassed everything about Johnnie Walker up until the [lack of a] final step!

[noyoutakethatback]

they did it in one take i am studying as part of my marketing module and my professor mentioned the benefits of using a professional actor included in this case robert doing it in one take

[theroadtosomething]

His reading something below him.

[dryad61]

Well, Robert Carlyle was completely awesome in this. Even Shakespeare doesn't have any 5 minute monologues where you have to walk in time with the music and interact with various props down a dirt road.

[JohnnyMac2237]

Hey azzhol3s..this is alread a 6 minute ad..is another one necessary. I can go to the website.

[stevenJEDI3]

I'm not a allcoo'' but this is such a great add I think the best Ive ever seen

[brasilianmagic]

hot stuff....

[jufinato]

Legal mesmo esse vídeo @rufinojorge!

[95grenade95]

Bloody Amazing accent

[ebonirion]

"shut it" XD awesomeness <3

[turb030031993]

wow, so many lines to remember :S

Very cool!

[ddkooker]

perfect...!!!!

[MKlevig]

Robert Carlyle <3

[sephorasagredo]

God I could listen to him talk all day!

[skleung]

wow ...i wonder how many takes they had to do to get it right...timing and all...

[kolegasch]

@skleung  yeah,he probably literraly walked around the world while triing to shoot this video...

[GheyBoy2007]

@skleung all done in 1 take

[skleung]

@GheyBoy2007 i know...i meant how many tries it took them to get that one take correct. lol

[MrHomegrown76]

@skleung once no shit

[skleung]

@MrHomegrown76 really?!! wow!!! great to hear!!! thanks...

[ObTony]

@skleung 40 and there is no trickery, the campaign was made by bbh new york

[tsilverrush330]

@skleung I was at a Johnny Walker tasting event and the host said he did it in 1 shot!

[boblesaft]

@skleung i've heard some roumers that he got it right in his first take... Again, I'm not sure.. Think I read it somewhere.

[Dmonforte]

@skleung I heard from a confidential source that Robert Carlyle did it at the first take.

[KLAsHkA]

beautiful)))
