Written by The Best Beer Commercials – United States
From Australia then we’ll make the gigantic leap from the lucky land to the one of the other ex-colonies – the United States. Possibly the most developed advertising market in the world, although there are occasions when the humour does not travel well and, as a colonial, I’d rate my home market of the U.K. as more creative (aka funnier). But then I also enjoy Free Keno.
However it’s certainly true that the States has produced some of the great classics of beer advertising and the first one we’re all surely familiar with, like the neighbourhood Casino. It spawned one of the most annoying catchphrases possibly of all time which still lingers in some dark corners even now:
Right, are you suitably recovered? Reminded of those recurring nightmares featuring “Wassup”? Anyway, love it or hate it, it did the business,
OK, another Budweiser one now and the beer may taste somewhat underwhelming but the advertising is first rate. Observe the drab office colours and low start to the ad, then witness the tirade of cursing aimed at raising money.
Don’t think I really need to expound too much on this one, I could talk about girls wrestling in concrete and other appealing scenes but it’s also quite funny. From Miller.
Something form one of the smaller companies now, Sam Adams, and this is not one of the funniest, or biggest budget commercials ever but it does make the point that if you want decent beer you sometimes have to go and find it. And what’s a Martini bar?
Plenty more of these to come but not in this post. Perhaps we’ll head back to Europe next post for a Eurogrand casino bonus code, or maybe South America. We shall see.
