Miller Lite "He ain't heavy, he's my brother" advert

[rabbithog]

where was the pub?

[TheNaomiengland]

I love this advert and remember it well

[TheGodParticle]

I always thought this was a carling black label advert.

[terryjohn]

@TheMekon yea me too.explain

[terryjohn]

[jameseast123]

o:48 Its the STATION HOUSE pub in chiswick

[stonesfordf]

Well doon arris

[TheNaomiengland]

I remember this

[LerafoLuap]

A great song sabotaged in an awful ad for an awful beer. Have you ever seen a more smug and obnoxious prick than yer man?

[rerevisionist]

@LerafoLuap - Yes, sad that it's some mass produced US 'brand leader' - i.e. one of about 4 US brands.

[stonesfordf]

Well done Arris!

[prindellar]

wow, some of y'all got very defensive with Paulinality's comment. Usually defensiveness is cover for a weakness....

chill out people. P has a point there.

@TerryNutkins80

Ye thats exactly what I thought. Wicked add remember it well. But never remembered what beer it was that lager is shit.

[mammajama7]

gay

shit beer

just drink miller...

[coolcraignvodka]

And also I think you will find that it tends to be common sense to know when you've had enough! Don't blame the adverts, thats ridiculous!!

[coolcraignvodka]

FAO paulinality: your talking a load of sh*t!! people like u are the ''politically correct'' lot that have got the UK into the mess it is!! load of rubbish!

[Paulinality]

Disgusting....with all the people addicted to booze this song should be on the other end. He ain't heavy and is worthy of help because of alcohol addiction. This is so offensive to me...so many lives lost to alcohol by addiction or death.

[TerryNutkins80]

A very memorable advert from the 80's, however I couldn't remember which lager it was for. Surprised it was that watered down weasel piss.

[terryjohn]

@TerryNutkins80 august 1988

[uhegbu]

It was 1988 and The Hollies did had a number one of the hit that was originally released in 1963

[KaitainCPS]

@uhegbu

1969, I think.

[terryjohn]

[DrumTZ9]

My Dad is in that advert. He's On THe Left Or The Right, At The Beggining

[HipHop2036]

[jifkitchen]

[sofakingritadid]

[sword4thelord]

Hey... it's Rifleman Harris from Sharpe!

[theresafacenextmuff]

Yes it is, Mr Jason Salkey!

[raherecolston]

[tatotal]

1988 is the year this advert is from. The Hollies track made #1 on the the back of it.

[terawattz]

HEAVY was the slogan

[freddygotme]

Oh wow, I remember this advert!
