Follies of the Mad Men #170
Now that PBR is a hipster beer, I wonder if they will revive this old ad campaign which is like some Twilight Zone episode where humans have been turned into hideous 2-D ribbons.

Soul Brothers Scotch
Ah, yes, from that famous African Scotsman, Shaka MacDonald.
"No 'fronts' here, baby. Soul-Bros Scotch is really 'OUR' thing! If you think we're putting you on--get it out of your mind!"

Beer Production, Rube Goldberg-Style
I personally would never drink a beer contaminated with heavy-metal drumming.

4 x PES
Perhaps you recall the Roof Sex stopmotion video by PES that was featured here years ago?
Here are four clever commercials by him.

May all WU readers and contributors enjoy a nice tall frosty beer--or beverage of your choice--this holiday! Or even more than one!
See you on the far side!

Follies of the Mad Men #124
It must indicate something about capitalism circa 1949 that both ad campaigns chose this gigantic, brutal, triumphalist imagery. (Perhaps the two campaigns were created by the same agency even?) The postwar reign of corporate overlords has arrived. "Beware, puny humans! Our glorious products bestride the landscape and will crush you, unless you buy and consume mass quantities!"
Could there be a less-enticing public face for a company?
