I write for the Internet, and as such, I’m contractually obligated to give in to hyperbole. “The Greatest” this or “The Dumbest” that, or “The Sexiest Ever.” But I say this with complete sincerity: I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more clever or funnier beer ad than the one embedded below for Australian beer Carlton Draught. To attempt to describe it would take away the fun. So, just watch it. Trust me. It’s basically the beer commercial that Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) would make if Edgar Wright made beer commercials.
See?

That was amazing. Aussies are my second favorite Pacific people (after Philipinos)
I’ll see your fillipinos and raise you a Kiwi and a Thai,
I now have yet another reason to like the Aussies, (besides how cute the accents are on girls and the fact that they have the balls to live on the real-live Savage Land that is that continent.
that was one hell of an homage to “Airborne”…
Think you’re confusing your old school ‘extreme’ movies. Replace rollerblading with BMX bikes, keep the same .story line, and you have Rad.

Wonderful.
Another one from Carlton Draught. Oldie but goodie: [www.youtube.com]
pretty fucking sweet.
I had a pretty good dream last night, and part of it was hanging out in a bar where the bartender was Harry Dean Stanton, and then a bunch of other stuff happened. But the beer I drank was a Carlton Draught. And now this ad.
Plate of shrimp.
This is why I fast forward through the commercials whenever possible. We don’t have ads half this creative or fun anymore.
They left the duffle bag!
I was just about to say that!
Also, would it have killed them to have some naked twins making out?
I was deciding whether I was nitpicking or not in noticing that until I saw this post. Safety in numbers!
They’d have lost at least half the runners and pursuers if they came across naked twins making out.
What a clever concept! And executed very well. Way to go, Aussies.
Amazing
Looks like youtube pulled the embeded copy down for trademark. Here’s a link to one in Carlton Draught’s official page.
