Guinness Export: The Man (Version 1)

Guinness Export: The Man (Version 1)


For your eyes only: a mysterious agent fights his way to the pub.

Tired of fighting your way to the bar? This would-be Bond might have to knock down walls, kiss random women and avoid strangulation on the way to his local, but at least he can get the barman's attention. Three identikit versions of this advert were filmed on the same set but with different groups of actors. Look elsewhere on BFI Player for versions 2 and 3 which are filmed with all black and all Asian casts. Though the brand is global, and the story seen as internationally fitting, the actors are strictly segregated across three discrete ads.

Guinness Export Guinness advertisement. A Caucasian man breaks the brick wall
and appears. He is attacked by a man from the behind, but he throws the man.
A woman suddenlly appears in front of him and they have a kiss. The hero
finally gets to a pub in spite of the obstacles and has a glass of Guinness.
Voice over: "Strong, dark, smooth, exciting, invited, satisfying. That's a
Guinness. Nothing comes between man and Guinness."
