Blast from the Past: 1981 Guinness Surfer Ad with unreal Saxaphone

[Dublin 4]

This will make the Hairs stand up on the back of yer Neck ​

One of my favs mate.

Far superior to the special effects laden adverts they've been releasing since the 90s.

They made a cool enigmatic one in the late 80s/early 90s in which a bird puts her arm around some geezers shoulders (he's wearing a black jacket). You can guess the rest. I thought it was clever. Never see it in their top 20 adverts.

With the Guinness and the Harpic I could never figure out - how yer man stayed up on the surfboard after 18 pints a stout

The Fake Feminists would have a heart attack if Guinness did that today.

Sublime solo.
I'd marry this guy.

 

[Vengeful Glutton]

I thought you were married H?

Now you've reminded me of sweaty old repealer Christy Moore and wrecked the buzz Tadhg.

Don't think I declared my status.

But you know what I meant, he's got sax appeal.

Damn, I never thought of that
