[@goldenboi778]

I just love the 80's and aways will..

My dad is in this commercial! I remember going to watch them film it in Burbank…I was only about 8 yrs old.

[@Dougout92]

That's very interesting! I was also in that commercial. They filmed at a number of locations. I was used while they filmed within a 7 11 store. I believe it was in Burbank. Was that the day you and your dad were there?

[@kennedyzma3939]

@@Dougout92 wow! No he filmed at the Gelsons store on Hollywood Way and Victory. Is the original commercial anywhere - I can’t find it. I think this one was played about a year later if I remember correctly?

[@Dougout92]

@@kennedyzma3939 I haven't seen it anywhere else. I recorded it many years ago and saved it. That particular commercial, they used real people from real jobs. Sadly it aired for a very short time. Of course if they continued to air it, all the actors would have gotten residual checks over time. Oh, well- great memory. Thanks for responding.

Men, women, whites, minorities...horses...and ZERO activists. Seems like a perfect way to advertise to the average, everyday American.

Doug Laird, thank you for posting this...what a nice journey back to my youth!

The Bud frogs were the VERY BEST Bud ads. "Ribbitt--ribbitt" ... Need to bring them BACK!

[@robertking3976]

I was in a couple of Budweiser commercials in the 1980s, that involved trick photography. However, I never got to see them because they were filmed to only be seen in Japan. Does anyone know how I might access them?

0:34 I'm sure the officer would much rather have had a cold Bud. I couldn't help but notice that the commercial had people of all shapes, sizes, genders and colors. And this was back in the 80's, when there no Woke Mobs to enforce their standards of "diversity," so the advertising agency did this all on their own.

[@beharford]

Right on, Russ S...Yeah, strangely enough, a cool, fun commercial represented real life without any help from the so-called SJWs....

[@BrockLanders]

It’s amazing how much simpler times were and how much happier people seemed.

[@WinterandNoodle]

Maybe that was the point? An advertising agency wanted you to buy their products so they try to represent everyone and the "working man" to get $$$ Then again, you used the term SJW...I did expect yall to be clueless on how things work around here :)

[@live_free_or_die7260]

Are there beer commercials today on television? I don't watch.

[@jeffholt3841]

The working mans beer....

[@rjgreenll]

Did they just serve the cop in a sippy cup?! 🤣🤣🤣

[@Dougout92]

It was a slurpy

[@angelomezzadri2463]

Sorry but the original Budweiser (Budvar) is from the Czech Republic, nothing to do with the American beer. (Try both).

[@BELCAN57]

Back before AB got sold to foreigners.
