Guinness beer has an ingenious new advertisement that could previously only been seen by those who solved the puzzles on the Guinness website at GuinnessTipping.com!
Well, I suppose some Genius figured out the riddle and then graciously bestowed the location of the new videos on the rest of us. So, grab a beer, kick back, and enjoy.
That video reminds me of this awesome Office Dominos clip, the Japanese Kinetic machines and this other Rube Goldberg machine. Heck, and that’s without even mentioning the Sony Bravia TV commercial! So, I think what we can learn from all of this is that people love complex dominos setups, and advertisers are looking for ways to have their ads go viral, so they are mixing them in. And I guess this blog is the perfect example that its working.
Oh, and here is the “making of” for the Guinness commercial. Unbelievable…
A big thanks to Jamie Harrop for this awesome find!

That is an awesome video! I’ve never seen it before. I wonder how amazed the people who were watching it in person must have felt.
I am guessing the people that were there watching knew the script and saw their little bit of it more than once. They may have been reminding themselves that it would probably look a lot cooler aggregated in a commercial.
Very nice. I was really into it at the end and almost cheered with the crowd. Great post. Thanks
Wow, that is just amazing…
Must have taken ages to set up… I used to have problems setting my one box of dominoes up to complete a tipping

Great ad. Must have spent a lot of time to set this up but it’s worth it.
