BRING THESE BACK, Miller!! Remaster THESE and then start intro'ing new folks in a month or two. But keep running THESE. At least ONE ad agency knew how to do it-!

[@Rockhound6165]

Can you imagine being on this film crew with all of these legends?

[@MrSkegman]

those days are gone-these days we suck

[@stevencoffman34]

These commercials are classic

[@larryburton9369]

Great commercial thank you for this one 😊

[@derekcrudele4695]

The Scooter... Holy Cow!

[@epaddon]

I remember this spot well along with all the classic Miller Lite ads that began in 76. This one was gone rather quickly because Rizzuto's employer, the Yankees switched sponsorship from Miller to Budweiser after the 78 season.

[@JW-xj1yf]

I think the Met's were sponsored by Schaeffer at that time. Weren't the Yanks Rheingold way back in the day?

[@q98rt710]

Never seen this Lite Beer ad. I thought I seen 'em all. Thanks to whoever put this up.

[@GozarianGozar]

No tattoos on the women.. how refreshing.

Man makes me wanna go get a sixer lol

[@jgowin66]

This one borrowed the punch line from the old Bob Hope joke on his annual Christmas Special. After introducing the college football All-America team, Bob and the players would gather in a huddle, and THEN, a gorgeous young lady in a bathing suit would stroll by, immediately breaking up the huddle.

[@woodson21]

Rodney with the t-shirt and tie look.

[@tomoth77]

That was back in the day when beer commercials used REAL women.

[@mastersironmantarmstrong7148]

Was Matt Snell the guy who told Deacon Jones if you don’t pull imma break your nose!?

[@Rockhound6165]

I believe so.

[@Amber90125]

Phil Rizzuto on commentary

[@joshuakline1435]

Scary thing is those 2 dolls are probably at or close to 60 years old 36 years later.

[@johnkoziol4093]

Wouldn't it be something if they still looked that good?! LOL!!!

Bears getting beat up in 1978......sure, what a lousy bunch, except 1985 of course.

[@KT72273]

Their lull between playoff runs of 77 and 79! By then they were building a pretty good defense! 0:32 We need 1 more pin Rodney!

[@tvpmark]

Ha ha. Another predictable but nonetheless funny ending.
