Grabbing Jennifer Aniston’s Heiney

Roger has posted two advertisements for Heineken at his Vox blog, one starring Brad Pitt (and I cannot make out what on earth he says at the end), while the second stars the former Mrs Brad Pitt (which has no dialogue). The headline refers to the latter—which I happen to prefer.
It explains why I am not a beer drinker.

I actually like the Aniston commercial better. There's just something funny about a guy choosing the last two beers over a gorgeous starlet.

But I think it's cool that Heineken got both of them to do commercials (well, money talks).

By the way, the first video got cut off. That's why you didn't catch what he said, but I'm willing to bet that it was "could you come over here?" (because of the mobs).

Me, too. I prefer the Aniston one. I agree with you on the humour, but I also feel the Pitt one is overdone. Sometimes the cleverest things are done on a shoestring (comparatively speaking!).
Thanks for explaining that last line. That would make sense and now that you mention it, I believe I had seen the ad before and that was the last line.

The Pitt one was overdone, true. I think what I didn't like about it compared to Aniston's was that hers made fun of her stardom and attractiveness, which makes her look like a good sport, while his commercial kind of was "gee whiz, it's hard being Brad Pitt." Which I think is nothing like him. I hear he's a pretty down to earth guy, but the commercial didn't make it seem that way.

Very good point, Maureen. I hear good and bad things about Brad (mostly good), but the impression that the ad gives does seem forced.
