Great Ads I: Stella Artois

When I made the move from Germany to Ireland and finally got my dream 46" LCD TV, one of the first things I noticed about the TV program in Ireland were the amount of ads that got me chuckling or at least put a smile on my face. Others, who have come to visit have had the same impression. So, in the next few weeks I'd like to share with you some of the best ads here on Irish TV.

Most of them will fall into the humorous category, as nothing can make an ad more memorable than a good laugh. However, I am also fascinated by ads that leave an impression by their techincal or directorial excellence. We will take a look at some of these, and why I think they are great. If time (and energy) allows, I might post some ads that I think do not work well in my opinion. Again, I'd like to hear your thoughts on this, and would love to see any other suggestions for ads that you think are worth watching.

After the break, I'll share with you an ad by the Belgian brewer Stella Artois. Our partner site 3plusHeinz has posted this a little while ago, after they had seen it here on Irish TV. All in all, a great ad with great style, that will surely put a smile on your face.
