I like this one from Stella where the Plague has broken out in the 1800s and this French doctor can only prove he's clean by sharing a drink with suspicious villagers

I tried to explain this to Australians in the pub but it just made me sound crazy.

Yep definitely a classic

I remember that. There were more abstract ones too if I remember right. I can remember the music but not the video.

If you’re thinking of “We have all the time in the world” it’s zooming out from an abstract space of clockwork planets and the like until eventually you find out it was all he happening inside a settling pint.

Oh wow I had forgotten about that one. I just looked online, the music I was thinking of was The Dancing Man. Not as abstract as I remember though

[–] FluidBeef@quokk.au 1 points 2 weeks ago

I remember that! It was a man doing a funny dance, right?

Don't even need to click to know it's one of the Guinness ones

I bet this ad was timed to how long it takes to pour a Guinness, too.

Edit: Maybe not, the rule is 119.5 seconds.
