#5 Castle Lager – New York (Toto – Africa)
Maybe it was the music, Toto – Africa, or New York. Maybe it was the braai and boerwors hissing as the fat met fire on the braai stand because i was not drinking when this commercial came out but i loved it. This ad came during the glorious new South Africa period when the rainbow nation was being born. It still evokes good memories.
#4 Guinness – Sapeurs
This ad makes me want to visit Congo, meet the Sapeurs and have Guinness with them. I love the ad
#3 Heineken – Walk in fridge
A funny but telling advert about them boys and their drink. This is a brilliant concept.
#2 Carlsberg – put friend to the test
This is another one of my favourite commercial and well executed. I don’t know what I could have done if I was put in a situation but I’m very proud of friends that passed the test.
#1 Castle Lager – RWT
This is still my all-time faourite tv commercial. A round the world trip done in a 58seconds of drinking heavy beers, sleeping in dodgy hotels and meeting really great people. I love it and I always wished to do the same, a trip around the world.
Bonus ; Heineken – Walk in fridge
Here is some bonus laughter, a different perspective on the “walk in fridge”
