HEY! I'm a media student and for my coursework I need people's opinions on funny alcohol adverts. I would be grateful for your views on adverts and whether you have any particular favourites.
Thanks for your help! =D

I love the one with the birds flocking together.

It was ages before I realised it was a carling advert.

What was that one with 'Make love and listen to the music'

I liked that.

Oh and I like the 'do you have a WKD side' adverts. Ninja

Is that the one currently showing that has a rubber floor so that the blokes won`t break a bottle, and a small dog jumps off a chair and is bounced clean out of the room? Smile

The Carlsberg ads are quite funny as well. "Carlsberg don`t do Banks/Clubs/ Flatmates. But if they did, they`d probably be the best in the world"

I do not see the harm in them, they have been on tv for a long time espcially the ones like guiness.

Nope, it`s a budweiser advert. Smile

Except when they throwing another shrimp on the barby, holding a tinny of the old Fosters Amber Nectar in the other hand. Smile

Which alcohol had the catch phrase "It`s what your right hand`s for"?

Funny alcohol adverts?

I don't think any of them are very funny. I think at the stage our society is at with alcohol misuse we should be heading towards a full ban on alcohol advertising.

The health promotion adverts which send out the dangers of alcohol consumption are much better!

Aside from that sensible view! I think Guinness did a great job, they kept a theme and you never knew what the advert was advertising - I.e the one with the horses in the sea. Not so much funny, but very visual.
