Time to dust off your green top hats and practice drawing shamrocks — Saturday is St. Patrick’s Day! In honor of this celebration of all things Irish, we’ve tapped into the viral video analytics at Unruly to examine a staple of Ireland — Guinness beer.
For those of you who have been ostensibly living under a rock, Guinness is basically the national drink in Ireland. For more than 250 years, the company has been brewing beer in Dublin. While the brand is known for its classic Irish Extra Stout, the company also makes a draught stout and a black lager. Of course, Guinness is also the official drink of St. Paddy’s Day, getting the party going all across the world.
Known for its blockbuster-style advertisements, the Irish brewing company has done well advocating its brand message worldwide. And these commercials live in perpetuity on YouTube, some of which have racked up views in the multi-millions. Many of the spots are side-splitting and hilarious, others bold and fierce — but they all have a bit of cheek.
Speaking of, the number one video (which has had 64,756 shares all-time and nearly 2 million views on YouTube since its launch) shows off the beer company’s raunchy side. I won’t give anything away, but I will mention that it is NSFW.
Check out the top 20 videos from the beloved beer company below, and get ready to embrace the luck of the Irish. What’s your favorite commercial in the gallery? Let us know in the comments below.
