We’re pretty sure this might not fly today

Classic find by Fasolamatt, both for the “Moog synthesizer” and, more importantly, the classy slogan: the beer to have when you’re having more than one. Please do enjoy as we wind down this day. (Note: Another older-school commercial of the same ilk can be found right here, also from the ‘matt).

In college, our choices in the budget category were Old Milwaukee and Schaefer. My preference was “cold”.

I agree there is no way a beer company would hire a guy with that much of a porn stache to sell beer.

It doesn’t work as well as that left-handed Fuhr synthesizer?

I beg to differ. I think that would be a wildly popular commercial.

Creative agencies go to great lengths to find that level of authenticity.

I feel like I should laugh at that, yet I don’t know.

Sass — I concur with the creativity part; I’m just not sure an advertiser would get away with promoting excessive drinking.

Jon,
There’s an “Oiler Can Boyd” reference to be worked in if we’re to fully beat it to death.
