Another video moment (commercial this time)

by Diane Duane

Possibly my favorite of the Amstel ads that have been airing for a while. (This one was shot in 16:9, so you may find it looking a little squeezed. Sorry about that.)

Before the Flood…

(A few dialogue / dialect notes:

“I’m waitin’ on yer man”: “Yer man” used colloquially is “That fella/guy,” “this/that person here/over there.” Cf. the famous poem about “A pint of plain is your only man.”

“It’s lashing out there”: It’s “lashing down rain”: pouring, coming down really hard.

“He’s after forgettin’ these yokes!” “He’s after…”: the idiom translates an Irish-language verb phrasing that with “forgetting” equals, in this case, “He forgot / he’s just forgotten …” “Yoke” is Irish slang for some unnamed or unspecified object. The closest US translation would probably be “these guys”.)
