Creative Guinness Beer Billiards Video Ads

[dr_dave]

If you haven't seen them yet, check out these cool billiards video ads from Guinness beer:

- The table is invented.

- The cue is invented.

- The felt is added.

Maybe I'm dense, but I don't get the joke at the end of the third video with the ball hop over the rock and the camera pan to the "couch." If anybody out there can explain it to me (maybe some of the Brits on the forum), I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Dave

I think the "joke" is the burly proprieter guy gives a couple fella's the evil eye for even THINKING of setting their Guiness glasses on the table.

the stone and the couch?

Then what's the significance of the stone (and the ball hop over the stone) and the disfigured couch?

For convenience, here's the video link again:

It's because they used the couch for the felt.....

There was a pool table sized hole cut in the fabric of the couch. The rock that it hopped from was the button from the couch.

The proprietor of the establishment saw the button and looked over at his couch to see that they had cut out the "felt" from the couch.

Thank you for explaining. Now I feel sufficiently stupid. When I assumed the thing on the table was a stone, I couldn't "see" the joke. Its funny how the brain works sometimes.
