Guinness Fly Through Twice Advert (Chain)

This is one of my favourite ads ever. Produced by a London agency in 1994 it was ground-breaking for it's day in both concept and state of the art graphics. It also features Louis Armstrong's classic song "All the time in the World".

2011: There is now a higher-res version of the second pass of this advert here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6deYNEFi1lc

Thanks for adding that comment royal618 because 'Powers of Ten' is brilliant and maybe inspirational to this advert.

This is one my favorite advert of all time!

I remember watching Channels 4's 100 greatest adverts and thinking that when people voted for the Guinness advert (which came first), they thought they were actually voting for this one rather than the one that won. I think the Guinness - Surfer ad is so pretentious in comparison

[WARBY1974]

best advert of the 90's for sure

This is, on so far many levels, one of, if not the best TV advert ever.

I remember this advert clearly, however, they also did a techno trance version that I caught just once, very late at night. It went in reverse and was faster. It's times like then you wish you recorded the alternative version........it was brilliant.

This advert never gets a mention in the all time top TV adverts ever and it's so good, it's a conspiracy it doesn't ...lol (I don't like the drink, btw, but the advert is top)

I remember this ad when I was grown up..

Conceptually original? I'm not so sure. Check out 'Powers of 10' by Ray and Charles Eames.

Go to your nearest Public Tavern, uphillcastle.

That's such a great example of recursion.

Ex-Guinness employee. A pint of standard Orange juice has more calories than a pint of standard Guinness. Fact. A pint of "light" OJ has slightly less, something like tropicana has more, something like the shit you get in supermarkets has shit loads more. Guinness is also red, not black.
