Appealing ads of Heineken beer

I saw this ad 5/11/03 on TNN during the races. Imagine that you are sitting on your front porch on a sunny summer afternoon and you ask for a nice cold beer. Then out of the blue your friend rifles a nice big keg of beer at you, which in turn knocks you backward off of the porch. Here's another image to comtemplate. A man tries to force a refrigerator door shut. When he finally thinks he has it shut, the door busts off the hinges and a beer keg rolls out. These two ads are for Keineken beer in the new keg cans. These ads end with a catchy phrase the keg can go where regular kegs cannot.

When you first see an ad like this many questions come to mind: first, where are they going with a campaign like this; second, why would Heineken make cans in a shape of a keg, and why would an ad like this entice me to drink Heineken? To most people this ad stirs the mind to wonder why Heinken would make kegs cans and these amusing commercials promote them.
