1950s Budweiser Ad

[JxT1957]

back when the cans were made of steel

[brianb9532]

are they pouring a bud into a wine glass???? rotflmao

[geocs58]

@brianb9532

It's a Pilsner glass; very common in the 50's & 60's.

The female model is the one and only Joan Kemp. She was a very popular ad model in the fifties and sixties.

I drank about 30 one night in the 70s and woke up with my hand in my ass.

Ain't touched a drop since then.

[bzurvalec]

My God the 1950s were corny. Glad I missed that decade.

[harrison58]

@bzurvalec Your white license has been revoked. Apply for rent-controlled skin status at once...

[JoshuaTaylor]

After about 12 Bud's my Dad used to beat the shit out of me for no reason. Put me in the hospital a couple of times. Funny, I don't remember much time at the beach.

[harrison58]

@JoshuaTaylor I usually need around 16 before I get violent towards the Government & God...

[stogieguy7]

That ad featured the lost art of persuasion - something that today's 'edgy' ads lack. For example, I don't care for Bud - but actually feel like having one.

Love how you needed a can opener to crack one open!

[choirboyfromhell1]

@stogieguy7 Was called a "church" key!

[cliftonmontgomery]

And drinking a Bud is like hearing a bad flute solo, so we can't accuse them of false advertising.

[OldMrMemories]

I don't know what they did to this beer but it sure doesn't taste like it used to 30 years back. Most of these commercial brands have a crappy taste now. Imported is much better. i think i'll stick to Bourbon and Scotch these days.

[Fruth37]

Perfect pouring of beer into that glass. I wonder how many "takes" that took to not get the foam to spill over the rim?

[Compton121]

TABARNAK! y'ouvrais leur canne avec un débouche cannes.... c'est n'importe quoi XD

[NUTLOAF2468]

Swing it Daddy, Swing it!! Like the mostest!!Oh amber and foamy hostess!! Like cool, Hip, and gone, GONE!! Coffee house beatnik pork-pie hat wearing, bongo slappin', and cool, REAL cool!!  DIG?!

[inkey2]

I always associate Budweiser with my late father (although I can't stand the taste of bud) he would work hard all week and on the weekends he would drink almost non-stop. One time I woke up on a Sunday morning and my dad had made a tall, almost castle like stack of "empty" Bud cans on the kitchen table.

[fondled]

Congratulations on having an alchoholic father.

[inkey2]

to fondeled: LOL....he lived to be 83 and worked till he was 70......in his lifetime he was a WW2 Captain, Banker & then College professor w/ a PHD......when he died he owned a house worth 1 million dollars and had $450,000 "cash" in the bank....oh yeh, he was a diasbled vetran too..........I guess the BUD did him no harm. RIP dad.

[fondled]

That's awesome mate, sounds like he was a great man.

[fromthesidelines]

Yes, those are the lyrics to the famous "Bud" jingle in 1956-'57, 'dandy'; The Crew Cuts also recorded a radio transcription of it at the time...

[dandydonaldo]

Where there's life, there's Bud

At a concert or a show

Where the bright sun shines or wherever you go,

Budweiser beer is for folks who know

Where there's life, there's Bud,

Bud-weiser!

[dotsona07]

lol its amazing how much america has changed

[CoolConejo]

@dotsona07 The Americas are two Separate land masses, Do mean, North or south America? Or maybe you meant to say, The united States of America? Please stay in school kids.

[dotsona07]

@CoolConejo - It is in reference to the United States, which is implied due to the subject matter in the video...I do know the difference smart ass :D

[5891jonathan]

@dotsona07

Yeah, apparently everyone was caucasian back then

[LJKBIGMAC]

i think im gonna get me a cold one now

[needles1987]

Good commercial. I'm surprised it was socially acceptable for women to drink beer back then.

[halcaannen]

@needles1987 Women hav the right to drink and smoke in public since the 1920's and privately always.

[needles1987]

@halcaannen I was specifically talking about women drinking beer.

[halcaannen]

@needles1987 And I exactly meant women.

[dasquidbear]

This is actually pretty good...love the can opener! XD

[ProjektRaRa]

[JamesSentain]

[StewMeat]
