Guinness — 'Alive Inside'
I saw this commercial the other day during my new favorite show, "Pardon The Interruption" on ESPN.
Almost knocked me off the treadmill.
Best TV commercial of the year?
If not, show me one that's superior.
Note: The commercial is an order of magnitude better on a big-screen TV with serious sound than on YouTube.

Totally unrelated to anything.
It's just the quintessence of silly, which is one of the highest forms of art, and one I aspire to.
And, if I could train my teeth to do that, I could prepare to go to my great reward knowing that my purpose on this earth had been fulfilled.

You see Tim, you've got it a little wrong there. It's about clearing your throat constantly to be part of the zombie voodoo something thing going on :)
Here's my favorite of all time in not the worst, but not the best way (as if I know what the best is?): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Af372EQLck
Oh damn honesty and openness, it's really bad, you know :)))

Try this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfu5VkfrhYc
It's Pipe Dream from Animusic 2. A few years old, but many similarities to this piece - may have had some of the same people involved?

That IS terrific. I watched it five or six times straight! I never in a million years would've guessed Guinness if I hadn't already known, and that's probably precisely what gives it a good part of its pizzaz.
I probably would've guessed something dull and logical like Zildjian.
And by the way, the Zildjian website is most interesting, for any incipient percussionists out there.
