A commercial for Pabst Blue Ribbon beer from 1979. It stars a young Patrick Swayze. This film was recently found in our archives and re-transferred to HD quality. Pabst Blue Ribbon on my mind.........
We are looking for credits. Can anyone help out?

If they just showed this commercial today with no explanation or ironic throwback prelude, people would 100% buy more PBR.

@unholypepe Жыл бұрын

that's the thing about their marketing. i took a tour of the Pabst Brewery in Milwaukee and the reason Pabst came back was the Grunge movement and word of mouth. No ads, no marketing, no billboards, just some counter culture kids who wanted some good cheap beer

That's the Buddy I knew, just a few years earlier ('73-'76). A truly nice, lovely guy that nobody could dislike (even the guys who were jealous of him). A really good partner, too, as we get just a little glimpse of here. Not sure, but I think that is his eventual wife, Lisa Niemi, dancing with him. I love ads that give dancers work (some from the past include Great American Soup, Dr. Pepper, and Ebay).
