I'm probably a little biased since I work in the trades in Chicago, but this commercial is powerful. Ozinga is THE concrete company in Chicago and this aptly named commercial, "You Were Born to Build" rings true.

I'm not religious at all either. I think it was starkness of Paul Harvey's voice with no background music and the reminder of how hard people like farmers work.

Excellent. The EDEKA commercial was pretty amazing, but this is the one I would have picked out. I remember it being in the Super Bowl a few years back. So many young people never heard of Paul Harvey before, made me realize just how blessed my childhood really was.

I grew up on a farm and listened to Paul Harvey every morning. As soon as I heard his voice when that commercial came on it was like I went back in time. I just stopped what I was doing and watched it in awe. I believe he recorded it in 1965, and I bet I heard it some time/many times as a kid. But hearing it again, in my mid 30's, really hit home in so many ways and what great men my grandfathers were and how lucky I am.

Perfect choice in song. There really is a beauty to the Irish countryside and the folk who live in it. But that red pill ending is fantastic.

Not gonna lie. If I see that whiskey in the U.S., I might get some even if it's cheap garbage.

That quote alone deserves its own thread. Its as if Joyce is an Irish Yukio Mishima.

I hate this commercial. What gets me even more than the song -- which is nearly unbearable -- are the faces. What bad, weak, characterless faces. And worst of all are the beards. It's as if the beards on these bad faces betray them and testify to their falseness and mincingness. Bad beards, both long and short -- both somehow equally false and offensive; bad chains, bad rings, bad queasy sudden revelation of hand ink; all steeped in weakness and sleaze masquerading as integrity.

It reminds me of this Rotterdam "barber shop" video which I posted about before. In fact, it is instructive to watch the Tullamore Dew commercial and that video (embedded in my post below) one after the other to see some of the worst and weakest contemporary male facial textures and realities. It's not a pretty sight.

I can't easily remember the last time I was as disgusted by a video as I was by this one.

These "men" are an unbearable parody of the masculinity that they pretend to aspire to. Their faces, miens, grotesque confectionary ink slapped on top of their pallid skin, and seemingly every pore of their bodies, are suffused with weakness and degeneracy. It is as if they spend an hour each morning bathing in a vat of estrogen before setting out on their wretched "barber shop" day. Many of them are also obvious shaky drunks. The inked-up models are maybe the worst of all.

These faggots say the words "fuck" and "fucking" with less right, point, and conviction than your average SJW Jezebel writer. I'd rather read 5 Anna Merlan screeds any day than listen to these tatted redditor pricks with drink in hand cant about being "decent scumbags" and talk about the "fucking great shaves" administered by their weak-faced loser trainees. And fuck their overly fluent, never-quite-native, lacking even the charm of the two Family Guy foreign dude characters English. Let them speak their own f'ing language.

It's been too long since Europeans have been in a real war. They need one, badly.

Thanks assholes, the double whammy from the German Christmas commercial and the Thai one made me shed a tear in public.

Tullamore Drew may not be the drink of choice for all men on this forum. But perhaps it's because we already have a reigning champ.





















I'm sure that more than one man has gotten himself a bottle because of this campaign. The clapping GIF after a well-made comment is one of the strongest expressions of admiration and agreement we have.

I was going to post this one as it hit me so hard because I had to learn to walk again after suffering a similar accident. You wouldn't believe how many tears were shed over that one by me and my family during the months I was in the hospital. My dad and mom were beside me the whole time.

I really have liked the Budweiser Clydesdale commercial just because of the friendship between man and animal and riding back in the day, those horses remember you man, I was away for a year, came back to the farm and it was as if nothing had changed.

That is a good one, but I remember seeing an even better one years ago, in a theater before a movie. Unfortunately, I can't find it on youtube or other.

It was full of action shots of guys storming beaches and F-18s taking off from carriers at full afterburner...all set to an extremely martial soundtrack. It was truly bad ass.

I absolutely, positive love this commercial. It's just a man and his dog. It's so simple, and that's what makes it so great:

And now for the greatest series of radio commercials ever: Bud Light Presents Real American Heroes!





I remember some of my co-workers and I were talking about writing one of these commercials and sending it to see if they would use it. I bet they got tons of ads given to them.

There is just something about dogs that make TV commercials a lot more fun. Here's "Norman." Unfortunately, Betamax died in a few years.
