Schlitz Beer commercial (1969)

[jpowell180]

Sadly, after Col. Blake drank that Schlitz, he departed on a cargo plane from Seol to Tokyo; unfortunately a Mig-15 intercepted them over the sea of Japan; the place was hit; it spun in; ....there were no survivors.

Is that really Geoff Edwards carrying the tray?

"Col Blake, along with this beer, you also have TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!!"

[TheRetro64]

This is a great alternative ending to this ad;

Billboard says "Hours later...." then we see a drunk McLean trying to say, "When you're out of Schliz, you're out of beer". He played a superb drunk during those moments in MASH when Col Blake had a few too many.

[RyanKBoman]

Henry Blake loved him some Schlitz... LOL

[Crisgo3d]

So true, i can only get Schlitz in a six pack of bottles where I am and when I am out I am like SHIT!! WHEN YOU ARE OUT OF SCHLIZ YOU ARE OUTTA BEER!!

[tenshi415]

That's my moms family beer

[Wehategod]

I haven't seen Schlitzs in a long time.....

[mikeb1444]

When you'e out of schlitz... You didn't buy enough.

[cochranexyz]

Does that announcer sound like Jose Ferrer?

[buffaloborn71]

When you're out of Schlitz, You got the Shitz

[scoobydance]

@ kONflictOD - I thought that was OJ for a second too!

I really like Schlitz. You need to try the "Original 1960's formula" they sell in longnecks now. It's good stuff for cheap beer.

[juanmosey]

@scoobydance Just saw it. Not that cheap either about $10.99 for 12 bottles.

[rcurrens]

The reason you're out of beer when you're out of Schlitz is that you drank everything else first. ^_^

[Schlitz71]

I'm not out of Schlitz so I'm not out of Beer =)

[kONflictOD]

At least tha Black dude got a job. I thought he was OJ @ first had to look again.

[5891jonathan]

The only colored guy is the hired help.

[jsilence418]

@5891jonathan lol lol maybe if he wasn't"colored" christ that made me laugh! lol

[juanmosey]

@5891jonathan LMAO that's how it was back in the day.

[Accumulator1]

I was just a kid when this came on TV over and over. What a classic!

Same year that Neil Armstrong became the first man on the moon.

"When your out of Schlitz, you're out of beer" burned into my mind permanently.

[TheAnimaldude55]

looks gooood 

[redneckcaseyjones]

Thumbs up if that black guy just dumps the beer in the cup!

[Ike2RulZ4]

MacLean Stevenson at the end, Col. Henry Blake from the early years of M*A*S*H

[Schlitz71]

The Classic 1960s formula is now available in 16 ounce "Tall Boy" cans in Schlitz's hometown.

[OldMrMemories]

As a teenager Schlitz was the beer me and all my buds would drink in 1970's Los Angeles. Does anyone remember their "Tallboy" How i wished I had saved a can . Collectors item for sure.

[70s80s]

Geoff Edwards rules! :D

[Silvertrine]

The guy drinking Schlitz was not like the guy in this commerical. He was sitting alone in a dark room on a stained recliner with a scowl on his face. I am that guy, cheers!

[jeffpolara]

Why dont women like drinking beer on the beach? They hate getting sand in their Schlitz.

[jeffpolara]

When your out of Bud tough Schlitz.

[798389]

Schlitz was good beer.

[eltempleton]

It sounds like the narrator is Jose' Ferrer.

[paintit77]

I had a friend send me two cases of Schlitz with the original formula. It is very good!!!! Don't buy the stuff in cans. Its crap! They only sell the good stuff in bottles and only in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Illinois. It sucks for me as I am in Colorado.

[eltempleton]

They have it out here in Kansas City MO. I haven't tried it yet, but I remember my Dad and Grand Pa used to guzzle the stuff.

[steved0123]

The canned Schlitz is good too. I took a chance and bought a rack of 16's. It is the good old Schlitz. I enjoy it regularly now after almost 30 years of that "rice beer".

[papabugs71]

Henry Blake!!

[azne69]

Omaha, NE $6.54 12pk

[kresblain]

Oh, snap! Was that McLean Stevenson at the end? LOL.

[wiedep]

oh yea!

[pmanis09]

I agree. They can't keep it on the shelves in Milwaukee, Minneapolis and Chicago.

[geoffolehane]

Schlitz has brought back its 1960's recipe.  Maybe they should run this ad again.

[RCmack]

Cool beer commercial from yesteryear!
