50's TV COMMERCIALS-MILLER HIGH LIFE BEER

[NickFun]

Down a few - no designated driver - then drive home. Those were the days!

Getting beered up for a little swapping!

[LimeInTheCoconut21]

I love retro junk.

[7855waldo]

Pathetic. The Vacuous Fifties never looked so bad.

[Drivermatic]

But this is clearly from the early 60's, not the 50's. .

@Drivermatic

It could of been from the time of JFK's reign which was between 1961-1963.

[ladylike1980]

Yes, Barbie was a popular nickname for Barbara

back then. I guess the doll ruined the nickname. Calling someone "Barbie" now would

be highly insulting. I like this commerical.

Yes, the announcer did say "Barbie" (a favored variation of "Barbara" among close friends in the mid-'50s); for years, Miller's well-known slogan was "The Champagne Of Bottled Beer" (meaning, it's "high class", but reasonable enough in price to offer to your friends), but most people served it in tall glasses...

[LaMortadella]

Love the starchy clothes, hair and attitudes...

[slack082082]

I can't believe they are serving it in wine glasses.. They say "champagne" but those weren't even champagne glasses...

[luckeycat]

did he say hi barbie...?

[mrsbrown333]

heh....its commercials like these from my childhood that made me never ever ever want to become an adult.. :))

[ACESTATION]

we could only wish the world was still like this now. That would solve about 90% of our problems.

[thotd1]

was the man named barby

[fromthesidelines]

This is supposed to be what a "typical" neighborhood get-together looked like in the mid to late '50s- friends, sparkling conversation, some informal snacks, liquid refreshment [preferrably Miller High Life], a few "party games"....you take it from there, 'dMync'.

[dallenwood]

Then they all put their keys in a bowl...

[dMnyc]

Is this a swingers party?

[kdawg7736]
