Irish Christmas Advert | I'm Not Crying 😢 😭| Charlie's Bar

[@007sarabond]

This is beautiful and way more heartfelt than anything put out by multi million pound retailers. This is a true Christmas message x

[@stargazer2019]

This is what christmas should be about, sharing love and warmth... Good on them for setting an example more people could follow.

[@gmbrereton]

My friend shared this, I cried the most lovely tears of sadness for the old fella, then the joy the dog helped them share.

[@peterobbins5801]

What a wonderful Christmas story. Goes to prove that dogs really are man’s best friend.

[@TravellingGull]

It's a simple message but one so easily overlooked in the hustle & bustle of modern life. Going to the pub can be a way for people on their own to be around others and not feel alone, even if it is only for a short while. Their is a sense of community there that brings people together. Well done Charlie's Bar, you have delivered a powerful message in a beautiful way, thank you.

[@larrytheflyer]

But our local charges €6.70 for a pt of OO heineken which doesnt Help the poor pensioners at all.

[@wirhabennureineerdewir6782]

So ein tolles Video mit ganz wichtiger Botschaft. Schaut auf die Menschen. Empathie ist unser höchstens Gut das wir anderen schenken können.

[@EileenGrant-ub8oz]

There's something so respectful about the doff of a cap. It's almost gone but I used to love seeing my late Dad doffing his cap to oncoming ladies in the street.

[@claudegervais7846]

Une autre preuve que ce n'est pas avec des centaines de milliers de dollars que l'on peut produire une publicité touchante et efficace. Un gros bravo au Charlie's Bar en Irlande pour cette magnifique publicité qui reflète réellement l'esprit de Noël.

[@Stanky_doggo]

Pure brilliant. Dogs and Irish pubs ...gotta love both!

[@backslab1]

Thought provoking. This put tears of sadness and then joy into my eyes. A beautifully produced video.

[@roz334]

The advertising execs for John Lewis and M&S could learn a thing or two from this heartwarming post.

[@elainehanly4702]

Definitely my favourite xmas add this year I'm not bawling really I'm not

[@Sunflowers9191]

Other companies literally spend millions on the perfect Christmas ad but this is the one that genuinely has me sobbing.. it’s so simple yet so beautifully done. This is what Christmas should be about, invite those lonely (elder) people guys. Even if it’s just for an hour, it can make their day 🩷

[@GordonGibson-q8e]

🎉This is Ireland at its best

​@@georgebarnes8163it's Ireland yea gobshite

[@abounassif978]

​@@georgebarnes8163It will always be Ireland, you can imagine what ever you want!

[@martinrichardson6923]

This is perfect and so, so much better than the garbage put out by the corporates this year. Well done.

[@RobertBerrios-b7b]

That was an awesome ad! Not a single word said, but it said everything quite clearly, Kudos to the creators and the talent!🙂

[@Chromgraphy]

He’s not crying… But I am… 😢😢😭… Beautiful!… sadly, the world has forgotten the true meaning of COMPASSION & LOVE!

[@DonaldHardy-m7l]

Thanks for posting this. Lovely, lovely vid.

[@noelmoore7574]

Im so glad to see a true, genuine video promoting social life in an irish way. You should be very proud of the message that shines throughout this video. Makes you proud to be Irish! Amazing 😊

[@georgebarnes8163]

This is from the UK not Ireland as the title claims

[@AlainnCorcaigh]

​@@georgebarnes8163County Fermanagh is one of the 32 counties of Ireland

[@georgebarnes8163]

Ireland only has 26 counties nor is Fermanagh in Ireland@@AlainnCorcaigh

[@abounassif978]

​​@@georgebarnes8163the bar is Irish, the beer 🍺 is Irish and the island is called Ireland. Even W. B. Yeats is from Ireland. I think only the man with the newspaper is from the UK!

[@georgebarnes8163]

the beer is British as is the bar and the country, tough luck kid.@@abounassif978

[@JamesMcgowan-nw8eq]

That's how you do it John Lewis touching the heart strings not ripping off little shop of horrors

[@culticavideos]

That's why I loved christmas always, it makes even the Scrooge Ones a little better... I would wish everyone out there would give his soul the chance to be free and not excluded from life the whole year trough. Merry Christmas to you all and be aware, someday you might be that lonely person... may the echo of your past then reward you...

[@marliesknopke3010]

Christmas is so powerful- that is what God wants us to do- to be there- friendly-communicative- loving and understanding ❤🙏

[@jee4899]

Very touching, Northern Ireland at its best, the backing song by Birdy is a brilliant addition.

[@andyfell5879]

Lovely people and a smashing dog. I am crying.

[@VictorHeive-kg7kk]

You need to toughen up son.

[@theophanesantoniou8539]

wherever i am now you ll be here and wherever i was you had been. i was young once. very beautiful young couple who repsects the elders. God may be with you

[@x4dd]

Definitely the best Christmas And this year. And didn't cost £millions that all the rest waste.

[@zoeartrc]

The story is not complicated yet massively powerful…take time to be kind ♥️

[@hittitecharioteer]

Charlie's Bar and Blakes of the Hollow are two of my favourite bars in Ireland. 🕊and💚 to the people of Ireland and to the World. 🇮🇪🤝🌍

[@mollyconboy5659]

Beautiful, dogs are a great way to meet people xx❤

[@theophanesantoniou8539]

[@dbrown3582]

Brilliant, simple, had me in tears

[@chantelb2527]

Just heard about this on bbc radio 4. Great advert. Well done.

[@martinawaldmann5623]

Wem bei diesem Video nicht die Tränen kommen, der hat wohl ein Herz aus Stein. ❤ Allen Frohe Weihnachten 🎄

[@brickfan5098]

Brilliant 👏 👏 👏 👏

[@summeralmond5850]

This is what Christmas really means. Well done xx

[@mikewiertellok5604]

Ihr hab mein vollen Respekt! Ich wünsche euch allen zusammen ein schönes Weihnachtsfest. ❤❤❤❤ ihr zeigt mir gerade damit wie sehr mir meine Eltern fehlen...

[@fionnualaization]

It's just genius 🏅 and all sentiments as well. Name your price.... Oscar stuff in my humble opinion in shorts.

[@fionnualaization]

Tourist, brewery, vintnerd.. are you getting loads of offers?

[@sueb7217]

Pulled my heart strings ❤ lovely

[@liztomlinson2146]

This made me crying while thinking how true it is. PLEASE world say hello or how was your day to someone. Kindness n a few minuites out of your day will make it all worth while. THANKYOU ALL. MAY YOUR GOD BLESS ALL OVER THE SEASON. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@philmurphy5584]

Nice guinness promo, didn't see that coming

[@neilt4723]

Class, that’s how easy it is folks. Love thy neighbour.

[@Uppermoore]

Loving chrismas

[@martinukas77]

Oh for fxxx's sake, there got something in my eye..

[@abounassif978]

For 🦊 sake there was 😢

[@briancorley1991]

Now that's a Christmas advert, very real and poignant, no woke corporate ideology being pushed

[@cameracamera4415]

You know that ‘woke’ and ‘corporate’ are polar opposites?

[@briancorley1991]

@cameracamera4415 Explain that for me, please?

[@robc8593]

Fantastic! really, really good! (just one tiny side note if anyone wants to try doing something like this, always shoot in landscape not portrait mode)

[@Z00Maddict]

Disagree there, portrait works here as a window into the old boy's life. Very nicely done.

[@SimonParsonson]

Brilliant!

[@gordonremsey8055]

A sad reality that lots go through at this time of year. Brilliant ad lads in fairness.

[@Heitiki1972]

I may not be old yet at 50, but everyone should be aware of one thing. We are ALL getting older and we will bury our parents and at some point bury our loved ones. Then our houses will be empty and we might end up like the old man in the video. Humanity counts, kindness and appreciation count. We all only have one life, so let's help each other and just be human!

[@alexjones6510]

Fantastic 😊

[@markyoull6744]

now thats whatit should be about

[@Hubieee]

Come on, we can do this more often in single every day moments. Look the people in the eye and perhaps make some gesture of recognition.

[@deemdoubleu]

Awesome

[@bobbyb.6228]

Great 😢

[@richardsunday1612]

Lovely

[@franwilby1254]

😭🙏❤☘

[@DavidHogg-yj2in]

Proves yet again that Simon Aldred remains one of the finest songwriters ever- if you don’t know him, check out Cherry Ghost

[@markwood1]

Cherry Ghost a great band. Lakies a great breed.

[@jonparry1969]

Create a charity page helping older people who will find it harder over Christmas or any time of the year. Or just do it all year to spend a bit of your time just saying hi at any time of the year?

[@SGT-Dono]

See the guy coming round the corner by Charlie’s that’s my dad

[@AestheticPeacock]

❤❤

[@AljoniMusiCo]

Cool

[@Elaine-Williams]

😭

[@jamesbondtraining]

I defy you to watch this video and not have tears come to your eyes.

[@1292liam]

pity there's no dialogue

[@corporal747]

No woke nonsense.

[@kauri44]

And by not "woke" you mean that everyone in this ad was white? Presumably if the lonely old man had been Black or Asian you wouldn't have appreciated the compassion in the story...

[@grahamcheesman2252]

Wonderful advert but maybe some of the money made from this could give some old people cheaper food or drink in pub. It is by far the best meaningful about but Iceland decided not to waste money on advert and give the amount to charity instead.

[@Toob41]

The BBC reported it cost £700 to make. Small pubs don't make a lot of money and this video will touch the hearts of millions of people worldwide and make them think.

[@darkonecy]

meh

[@lovelybitofbugle219]

Far right people

[@lazarusember]

😂

[@tinamartin8890]

Very touching Christmas advert well done 👏 but that song is awful 😖

[@delukxy]

Listen to the words or look for the lyric. "People help the people" sung by Birdy.

[@Toob41]

Well according to Birdy's official KZbin video of the song it has had 207 million views so I suspect you are in the minority of opinions. It's a perfect fit for the context of the video and a beautiful cover made when she was just 15. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZ6vf6Zsr7Z8ftEsi=C_8g9c2IoDok8p1-

[@ballstonbabe]

Who is singing? Her voice is lovely, as is the song.

[@alegria6771]

Song called "People help the people", sung by Birdy.
