Whooooooooa somebody on the internet doesn't like something and voiced his or her opinion about it...call Guinness world records, we've got ourselves a "trailblazer".>> ^zaust:

Is this missing the punchline - as it stands it's not funny at all

>> ^Mauru:

Seems like the core of the question is if human achievement requires branding.

No, but it does require money. This was not a cheap endeavour and sponsorship is one of the more reliable ways of paying for it.

>> ^Mauru:

I wonder- has anyone ever checked if any of those (max speed, max height, ...) actually carry the brand-name they were achieved under with it?
Is it like the redbull height record or the virgin speed record? The malboro weather balloon?


The records themselves (outside of being catalogued by Guinness) are not branded. I assume the apparatus used to break the record is mentioned.

Nice work, nice story, nice animation... but I don't understand how it sells Guinness.

Haven't I seen this before? http://youtu.be/HKbdBT-egyM

LOL wow, Guinness world record is a joke

This is exactly why the internet is such a wonderful thing. How else would we ever get to see things like this?

Public Swimming pool
In your bathtub with goggles
International Space Station
A friend's fish tank
In you mate's Guinness when they're not looking
Lot's of places to see eggies in agua mon~


Yeah, but I'm not going to do any of these. I'd never in a million years even think about this, never mind do any tests. Yet here I am, a few clicks and I've seen it all.

I'm coming hard for Friday.
Like a pedophile
At his computer desk
Watching Rebecca smile.
I go the extra mile.
The marathon's 27th mile.
Then I hit the ice cold beverage isle.
I got a cast-iron liver.
And I would rather drown my sorrows
Than cry a river.
I use my brain like you
Use a plain flight ticket.
Now I'm in a place
Where all the fences are white picket.
The only way it might get disturbing
Is if you're bothered by the sound
Of light cricket chirping.
I just let in soak in like Robatussen.
And about the fast-paced rap race
There's no discussion.
I'm just trying to get into the proper mood.
Remix of everyday life, chopped and screwed.
What can I do to get the weekdays behind me?
Watsky, remind me.
Thank you, kindly.

Kick Monday in the nutsack.
Wedgie Wednesday's buttcrack.
I'm coming hard for Friday.
And if you're not, get the fuck back. (x2)

Compared to my old testicles, hecka small.
Mine crack walls, like a wrecking ball.
While my checkered drawls fall y'all's yornaments.
Fear for a porno flick.
Time to deck the halls.
I'm glad it's all finished.
The week is all bidness.
But now I'm chilling, sprawled out
With a tall Guinness.
I'm gonna set the world record
For the funnest time ever
Had on the planet.
So everybody call Guinness.
I swear a lot.
This ain't Fisher-Price.
If I'm a bad influence
Then here's the great advice:
Kids! Don't be a dickweed!
Appreciate the shit out of the present moment
And be fucking nice!
I whistle weird for the tune of it.
If they all did, it'd ruin it.
We spent two months on this here
Bluegrass-folk rock-hip hop album
Because we really felt like doing it.
So everybody...

Kick Monday in the nutsack.
Wedgie Wednesday's buttcrack.
I'm coming hard for Friday.
And if you're not, get the fuck back. (x2)

I'm an Amurican.
I put my work in.
And when work's done
It's time for perking.
Hey, let's invite the vultures down to have a drink.
They must be getting tired doing all the circling.
Cause it's the world's end.
We're overheatelated!
And, from what I hear,
We're also overpeopleated!
So, there's no room.
So, we'll all explode soon.
Let's get abbreviated
And forget what we created.
So I've been thinking
We should have a big party
For all humans, and even women.
For the dumb Southeners, and the lazy Mexicans.
The A-rabs, and the coloreds, and their peckers and
The cheap Jews, which is me, too!
I'll even treat you!
But, just this once, cause nothing's free, dude.
And when the fiery end comes
We'll burn up quicker.
Cause we're full of liquor.
So everybody

Kick Monday in the nutsack.

YAY! Thank-You!!

this "technique" also works for bottle too (not just Guinness)

Interesting! But now, let this American remind you that Guinness is not black, it's a deep shade of red.
From the FAQ on http://www.guinness.com "Look closely. GUINNESS® beer is not actually black but rather dark ruby red because of the way the ingredients are prepared. Some malted barley is roasted, in a similar way to coffee beans, which is what gives GUINNESS® its distinctive color."
Cheers!

Or, you could try drinking a stout that actually has some flavor...

Have you ever actually tried a real pint of Guinness? And I don't mean whatever watered down piss they serve in the rest of the world, I mean a real pint, as in, in Ireland?


What is St. Patty's day?
It's Paddy. All you Americans who say St. Patty's, you're all wrong. Simple.
And before someone says it's Patty because it's short for Patrick, it's not. It's Paddy because it's short for Padraig, which is the original spelling.
Paddy. P A D D Y
Now let's all have a nice pint o' the black stuff!


Try ordering a pint of the red stuff and see what you get. I'm betting it won't be guinness

Can't say that I have, and I'm sure the stuff over in Ireland is top notch, but I'm talking about the cans and bottles we have in Ohio. Personally, I'd rather have a Sam Smith Oatmeal Stout, a Left Hand Milk Stout and for the love of god yes please a Founders Breakfast Stout. New Holland Poet, Great Divide Yeti, and on and on and on. I guess my point is that I don't see why people get so worked up over guinness over here in the states when there are so many excellent stouts here that actually have a great flavor and charachter. But, if you like watered down stout from a can, don't let me stop you from enjoying it.


Actually I agree with you. Stout from a can is the devil. But I won't even drink Guinness on tap outside Ireland. It really is a different drink.
