Loved Rutger. I remember all of these ads, but upon rewatching them here, I’d forgotten that there were so many!
No matter what Guinness brings out in adds today! they'll never compare to the genius and strange world of Rutger Hauer… he is and always will be the master for the strange and weird for Guinness, rest in peace Rutger we miss you man.
RIP Rutger Hauer.
Aquarian genius.
Rutger was one cool cat
God bless to whoever uploaded these x the louis Armstrong Guinness ad i remember vividly x
Just after 3 minutes : Post Brexshit : I agree that it`s OK, on condition that it`s just a Nightmare !
Roy Batty got more life and starting drinking the Guinness.
You’ll NEVER get amazing thought provoking artistic ads like this again. These were brilliant for a simpler time.
Talk amongst yourselves, I may be some time.
All these pints will be lost in time
Clock stops 9:23. 23rd September. There's a riddle for you there…
Thanks for uploading, just read about the ads on Rutger's wiki so now the first time I see them 🙂
Donald Trump looked quite good back then, actually.
I was totally in lust with Rutger but didn't realise how many Guiness ads he had done. Thank you for a big treat 😉
Favorite actor with the favorite beer…❤
Amazing, RIP Rutger and I hope you found Horace ❤
Didn't Ridley Scott direct a couple of these ads?
This guy could be reading random text and it would still sound artistic and deep. My all time favorite actor :3
I just absolutely loved Rutger Hauer. As a teenager I watched his films repeatedly. He had such an extraordinary magnetism and was the very epitome of charisma. The camera just loved him, and when on screen nobody else in the scene was even noticeable such was the gravity of the man.
He was cast as he was tall and blonde and- if dressed in black- looked like a pint of Guinness!
I'm sat here having a cool dark drink, reminiscing. Thank you for taking the time and effort to collect and post these. I was a child when they were first shown, and honestly the Aussie larger, the one Australians couldn't give a XXXX for anything else are still the best, however these are as the tagline so aptly put it are pure genius.
They eventually dropped the Rutger Hauer Guinness adverts because viewers found them too weird.
These adverts really hit a nerve when I was a kid. So cool and abstract. Guiness seemed liked the coolest drink ever. Oh to be older and be allowed to drink alcohol. I moidered my Mam until I was allowed to try some. Anyway at 10 or 11 at my Aunties Annes house I was given a glass and my young palette didn't appreciate it too much. It was horrible. These adverts are iconic. The idea of Rutger Hauer dressed all in black with his fair hair representing a glass of guiness was genius. Perhaps that was the pure genius referred to in the adverts.

Rutger hauer god rest his soul.
Wow. I grew up with these ads and had no idea there were quite so many of them.
The telepathy one had two versions. They played the first, silent, one the most and where you hear the missing teddy bear message, very rarely. My friends thought I was crazy as I told them what he was thinking. Brilliant.
