Old (PBR) Pabst Commercial 60's

[dime133]

"IT'LL GET YA DRUNK! YOU'LL BE FUCKIN' FAT BITCHES IN NO TIME!"

[themadscientest]

i need one of those glasses! screw thick frames those are true hipster glasses!

[ThePsychicMantis]

AWWWWW..... White and Black people getting shitfaced together. What a wonderful world....

[drgonzo767]

Fuck yes, I have drank a few cold ones on the tractor, lol.

[Electrickbreadstick]

that dude has a hipster moustache

[bcarman94]

i have these goblets. love pabst

[lotterdan]

I play darts on leagues, and one of the bars we play at has PBR for $1.00 per bottle. "Good stuff".

[MRXFX91]

Ain't nothing like a PB&J. (Pabst beer and a joint)

[angelforfreedom]

And the tune in the background..."One little, two little, three little Indians, four little, five little, six little Indians...". Oh good Lord have we evolved socially!

[WDTripps]

spit in your beer craker

[captainslam]

im drinking a fortie of pbr right now. yessir.

[IsaacBroadnax]

that nigga jumped off the truck for a pbr LMAO!!!

[Wdroster]

Budweiser and Miller are on top now all because of advertising. Back in the 50s and 60s, PBR, Schlitz, Blatz, Hamm's , Miller, Budweiser, and Old Style were in the same ballpark for popularity. None of them are all that bad, but I do prefer Miller.

[cowboysfan782008]

@Wdroster Even in the early mid 70's. I was a ltlle kid living ouside of Milwaukee. My parent's/relatives, and all of their friends drank Pabst, Old Stlye, Hamm's, Old Milwaukee, Olympia, and Schlitz, or Miller. No one drank Coor's, and few drank Bud. I can still remember the smell of the breweries driving through Milwaukee, and I was only 3-5 yrs old. Almost 42 now.

[JEDI7ACEN]

LOL! El Toritos has beer glasses like these last Friday. That guy at 0:23 is the reason they put heavy machinery warnings on alcohol. Walking between a twitchy horse to a thresher being driven by a guy on his 3rd, getting liquored up.

[bbo40]

Its one of my favorite beers!

[coloniaIVU]

I love Pabst. I consider myself someone who goes against the grain here so I don't buy American products very often. Hate American cars, hate American beer (especially gay ass Budweiser), hate American women, etc., but there is one American beer that I will drink, and that's Pabst. Americans hate it so I drink it down with gusto. Yep, Pabst, a true rebels beer!

[Tartersauce101]

hahaha, thats so corny its gonna make me cry

[navaho2017]

is that Kojak on the voice-over?

[fogonthedowns]

Awesome ad! Awesome Beer. Inspired me to have a couple.

[Canedude08]

What does Robin Yount have to do with this..I didn't know he brewed beer on the side.."Brewed by the first of the great Milwaukee Brewers"

[ThePretzelHead]

All in all, this is a great commercial. Love :49-:57. Didn't know that Robin Yount brewed Pabst tho.

[halifaxshayman27]

hey look! it's my best friend, with the ginger moustache and bib-overalls!

[bdunlevy22]

Moma and daddy never drank papst blue ribbon. Were from way out-rogers park.

[kolbpilot]

I find Pabst to be a drinkable beer. It gets a bad rap, undeserved in my opinion.

[000mikesant000]

0:49 PBR-Creating unity! ha ha

[1968yoshi]

whens the last time you saw a black guy drinking pabst, its make for suburban white kids

[bluballzzz]

im drunk on it now

[zekepig]

now available at unpopular prices

[drummer87ish]

unpopular prices? 15 $ a 30pack is pretty dam good

[CoheedMars90]

@drummer87ish Do you live in the states??? You can get 30 beers for 15 bucks??

[MrIMPATIENCE]

@CoheedMars90 i got 24 for 8 dollars on the navy base, it's the shittiest beer i've ever drank......

[canman87]

@CoheedMars90 That is indeed the case (no pun intended).

[CoheedMars90]

@canman87 I'm disgustingly jealous. It costs 16 bucks for 12 cans up in Canada. It's so wino's can't drink cheap apparently.

[canman87]

@CoheedMars90 Man, that's horrible. When I go to my usual bar, I tend to get a 40oz PBR, since they're only $4.50 (and pints of it are $2.50, so it's a way better deal). Ha, I even have a PBR cozy for it! How close are you to the border and is it feasible to buy a couple cases in the states and drive home? Haha.

[CoheedMars90]

@canman87 I'm not close enough, and I'm only 20 so I can't but anything. Pabst here is literally as low down the beer food chain as it gets. If you can get Pabst at a bar, it's because you're drinking at home.

[canman87]

@CoheedMars90 Yeah, I can agree with that. We have Pabst on tap all over the place here, but there are plenty of places that get high-quality beer from all over the place. I work at one such place and we're constantly rotating our taps and getting beers we've never had before. There are the "tried and true" selections that we tend to fit into our rotation, but new stuff is constantly appearing. I love it.

[taila1976]

@CoheedMars90

Yeah it sucks. I get my 12 cans for 11.50 CAN. In Montreal.

[RDarth]

Best deal out there if you ask me.

[CSFLChampion]

PBR...where the beer is as good as the baseball team

[SukkaPunch321]

I love PBR... I may have to buy me some now

[Slotten68]

Go Milwaukee Brewers!

[elleniris]

end song. one little two little three little Indians.... pfff

[BitterCycle]

In beer ads noone ever seems to drink from the can like in the real world, and they always overflow the glasses and the drinker doesn't seem to mind wasted beer and a sticky glass. Maybe they were drunk already when they poured the beer ? lol

[onesocalguy]

@BitterCycle Thats the proper way to pour a beer. It doesn't get sticky. Go drink your natural light you dumbass!

[greyhoundsteam]

Both steam traction engines built in 1920's. Two brands I can identify are Greyhound and AD Baker steam engines. Pabst company made an idea for commercial. Film was taken in Illinois show sometime mid 70's. I know one engine now owned in Pennsylvania. One engine only made 121. 12 remained today.

[slithering02]

@greyhoundsteam Holy useless knowledge, Batman!

[tradercris]

What the hell does steam driven farm equipment from the 1800s have to do with cheap beer sold in the 19 60s or 70s? Make no sesne to me.

[Northwesternkaiser]

It was suposed to represent how pabst was still brewed the same way as it was in the 1800s. Pabst was still a good beer in the 60's.

[Sparksman2point0]

Yes,lets all have some beer while we operate this heavy,dangerous farming equipment!

[Bearlizard777]

@Sparksman2point0 I know how dumb are they?

[blackeyedsiouxsie]

I really want one of those glasses!

[AUTOBLOOD]

Hell yeah! So do I!!!

[trevorduvall]

@blackeyedsiouxsie

Haha I was thinking the very same thing!!

(I collect beer glasses)

Cheers!

[whoandtheha]

Hell na, they're serving PBR in a fucking goblet. LMFAO!!!

[Badgerinmaine]

Um, not exactly...That kind of beer glass is called a schooner. Pabst always featured them in their ads in the late 1960s and early 1970s as an old-timey part of its "Good Old Time Flavor" theme.

[Mineav]

Work time's over--now let's get wasted!

[8977776565]

damn right

[SYNDICADO]

or as we used to say at my old job. "Lets step up to the bar and put in some REAL WORK"

[dbomob]

i love pbr as much as the next guy, but whats with the 2 inch high half glasses of head they are pouring in this video? learn to pour a fuckin beer right, 60's pbr commercial guy.

[fromthesidelines]

Yes, 'Badger', that famous "What'll You Have?" jingle {briefly heard at :21 and :50}- which used "Ten Little Indians" as its melody- was first heard on TV and radio in 1950, and revived for this ad...

[FlyswatterOne]

hell yea...the finally lowered the price again on PBR. it was 1.28 for a tall boy. then they changed it to 1.35...now it gone down to a nice 98 cents. Heineken? Fuck that shit! Pabst Blue Ribbon!

[chretiendutroyes]

Great news!

[kentdg888]

I have three cold Pabsts sittin' in the fridge right now..................make that two.

[flatoutrockandroll]

Actually, I think the vid is in the early 70's....'72-'74 somewhere...

[Ataxicabdriver]

Best beer for the buck. I even like it better than Bud.

[eartant]

The logo is pretty much the same which is one reason PBR rules!

[jesshooker]

im having one right now!!

[zekepig]

I heard this conversation in a college dormroom on a Friday night nearly 30 years ago:

Mitch: Any requests?

Dan:  PBR

Mitch: I meant in terms of music.

"Zeke": I think Dan means The PBR Band: Puke, Barf and Ralph.

[noisepuppet]

The music goes into "1 little 2 little 3 little Indians" at about :51. WTF? laffo

[axhed]

nice catch! been in my faves for a year and i just heard it.

[Badgerinmaine]

No, no--that's an echo of the most famous Pabst jingle ever, the one they used in the 1950s. if you look for a Pabst commercial with the phrase "What'll you have?", you've found it. When sung it went

What'll you have?

Pabst Blue Ribbon.

What'll you have?

Pabst Blue Ribbon.

What'll you have?

Pabst Blue Ribbon.

Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer.

[surfingbrookah]

this is great

[fraginat0r]

man im thirsty

[Stormshadow6672]

Beer is something special!

[ChachiTelevision1979]

So THIS is what Williamsburg looked like in the 60s.

[greyhoundsteam]

Farmalldoctor It wasn't the same situation in Medina. The only thing I heard people saying some of steam show association banned him to exhibit his Case 110 because careless of low water. The only way he brought is in during the fairground time. It was not the accident but operator have done the wrong direction. See you at smokstak. Take care see you at your local show.

[greyhoundsteam]

I don't think I want steam engineer get drunk because of unthinking of water gauge due to explosions. We don't want this happen like Medina steam engine explosion back in 2001. Safety is a factor and spectators around community. Honest is the answer I seen this happened once in Iowa with low water below water level gauge eeeek!

[FarmallDoctor]

Easy there, Greyhound. (with all due respect)Those of us who enjoy a few Pabst are not all irresponsibe. Do Not lop us in the same category as that ass in Medina! he wasn't drunk...he was an idiot! All he did was tarnish the respect held for us experienced, respectable engineers. Just my honest opinion of course.....

[redcarpetlounge]

LET'S GET DRUNK AND THRESH WHEAT,MA HA!!!!The 2 best things in life Ice cold PBR and STEAM ENGINES.

[greyhoundsteam]

Thanks for posting!! I know there was a steam engines operations in Illinois area in mid to late 70's. One of 24 hp Greyhound steam engine operation I know who currently owned. This is old commercials. Rare steam engine commercial. There are twelve known Greyhound engine left today. 154 were built by The Banting Mfg Co. Toledo, Ohio 1915 to 1928.

[parasitevirus]

who the fuck would drink Pabst outta a glass lame ass like that?

[CarnageAsada]

Nothing like getting blitzed and operating heavy machinery.

[waffen2]

nothing better

[mjs198027]

this is fucking awesome

[jimelek]

What I want to know is: What's up with the half glass of foam?!!? ;-)

[HaakonAnderson]

Did Pabst used to be a higher regarded beer? In my lifetime I have never see a Pabst ad on TV and I'm 26. It seems to be pretty generic now. Oh well it's still the shit! PBR 4 EVR!!!

[jimelek]

That's true, Pabst no longer does TV ads and very little advertising. Yet, its presence has grown dramatically over the last 5 years.

Now, this ad was on TV way back before Bud, Miller, and Coors monopolized the market.  Pabst was a more mainstream beer back then.

[inkey2]

to HaakonAnderson: I am 56 years old and when I was a kid the TV commercials were on constantly. As far as its stature in the 1950ss/1960s....on an equal footing with Miller & Bud etc

[Blibblabblibblibblab]

Pabst- the best there is

[4321Blastoff]

Pabst basically sux, but it's cheap.

[BlackWhore84]

fuck all of you shit talkers, Pabst was the blue collar, the poor mans beer, the best. go drink your Heineken. Oi Oi , yuppies.

[relmz441]

lol...hide in the mountains

[relmz441]

just kidding bud..lol

[HaakonAnderson]

Ahhh PBR! and not bull riding! :(

[murezor]

no good beer has ever come out of milwaukee

[mikeyaccident]

this definitely wasn't the 60's

[sandranian]

I am a big Pabst fan, but after watching this commercial, you can see why they lost market share.

[dmaverick72]

???

[sandranian]

...they were using farmers to sell beer, while bud, miller and coors were using models and athletes.

[jimelek]

Not in 60's/70's...

[dmaverick72]

Our slogan at home is "PABST, if my grandma hadnt drank it, Id never have been born!"

[MediocreFilms]

Niiiiiiice.

[apathyissexy]

if'n it's good enough for dennis hopper, it's good enough for you.

[The5iveBoroughs]

Heinikein? fuck that shit! PABST BLUE RIBBON.

[sandranian]

Please no more Blue Velvet references. We get it...you saw the movie...and apparently you don't like Heineken.

[c197373]

Yeah but it's a cheap way to get f####d up.

[jpowell180]

It was probably a lot better back then, b/c the last time I tried it, it tasted like chemical swill.

[illwauk]

Pabst is contracted out to Miller these days, so it wouldn't surprise me if Miller is stretching out the ingredients.

[fromthesidelines]

This was from the late '60s (probably 1968), when Pabst was trying to reestablish itself as a major brand. The Pabst breweries in Peoria and Newark no longer exist.
