Tooheys Draught (Australian ad) 1980

[@100reality2]

Back when you could be out in the sun all day dehydrated and refresh yourself with 24 cans of beer after the game.fantastic add

[@arnoldkubinyi6250]

24?!?!?

[@nikkiwalters8265]

I love this . . . I am not a drinker but this song gets me every time! Hunter Valley NSW Australia

[@doraexplora9046]

That was an awesome drop back in the day... loved the 80's, best time ever in the world let alone Australia.

[@Patrick4959]

Legendary Cricketer Max Walker was in this ad too may he RIP on ya Mr Walker

[@Lazarus0357]

Good Lord, I worked for Tooheys back in 1973, and I remember watching this commercial in Sydney around 1980/81! Thanks for loading it! Regards

[@matotoole486]

What an ad, helped me become the person I am today

[@Vpmatt]

+Mat O'Toole Are you a regional manager at Carpet Call?

[@mickc.5889]

BRILLIANT Add ... I remember it like it was yesterday. When Australia was the ` Lucky country ` and a great place to live.

[@HyperHorse]

What? When you couldn't even get a decent coffee? When Chinese food was the big thing in cuisine!?!?!? When you had to wank when you heard Olivia Newton John's "Physical"!?!?!? My friend, I disagree.

[@nworbretep1]

I took my elderly great uncle for a haircut at the barbershop in Burwood. Doug Walters came in and spoke with the boss - apparently about Rothmans cigarettes ( I did not smoke then, as I was around 15). You could buy cigarettes from barbers then. I was so disconcerted that I didn't utter a word. He seemed so normal and friendly.

[@jagdpanther1944]

I think he also lived in Carlingford, I lived in Carlingford and recall people saying you saw him down at the Mall sometimes

[@sexobscura]

the term *'Lucky Country'* was actually meant as a *sarcastic remark* when it was coined

[@ronanrogers4127]

Hyper Horse ...I hate Chinese food. Even in China it’s lousy.

[@KG1970.]

Steve Rixon facing getting encouragement from Doug Walters the legend. Dennis Lillee bowling. Legendary stuff

[@Never4GetzMe]

my mate sent me here!! he bloody loves he toohey's! donnhee!!!

[@Lordsworls]

Come brother join us

[@MrLondonSydney]

I worked on this great ad... all the close ups shot at Chatswood Oval

[@Vpmatt]

+David London No wide shots cause no bastard was there?

[@paulgrey8028]

Interesting David. I lived across the street from Chatswood Oval and can't say I recognised it - will have to watch it again, lol. Upon rewatching the ad, armed with that info, there's just a glimpse of the NW [?] end of the grandstand. Not enough to recognise where it was. Thanks for sharing.

[@Gav671]

I was led to this after watching Hoges flogging Winfield red for 40 cents. Got to love being an Aussie.

[@nikkiwalters8265]

I so agree!

[@robfinlay8058]

Tooheys is the best beer of all time.

[@SwillinGrog]

Absolute classic ad!

[@iandibley8032]

It was a great era ,good advertisements, and fantastic exciting cricketers.... now serialised, multicultural overtoned advertisements. 70s &'80s were great times in Australia 🇦🇺

[@CaramelSunflowers]

This ad was full blown kid brain washing! We all went around singing it because it was played so much on tv.

[@MeFrom07]

Allan Johnston's ad jingle voice was iconic. His voice hasn't been heard in a commercial for a long time.

[@carntspell]

@cosmicrooster65 No wonder I started drinking at 8 years old.

[@cabdude2]

Thanks, random KZbin commenter for setting me straight on that one. Cheers, know all!

[@johnkeenan3988]

When watching cricket with a tooheys was worth every minute sitting on your butt

[@patrickjohnson1309]

Fucking love Australia ❤️🇦🇺

[@adamamato4889]

Good old dennis lillee 😊

[@kipuchino]

Bloody hell. Fair dinkum mate.

[@KarlScholle]

What are the lyrics at 0:31 ??? How do you feel when you walk on the field Knowing you're the last to play How do you feel when you face a new ball And the winner's just five runs away How do you feel when you hear the appeal And the umpire says no way How do you feel on the very last ball And only a six will save the day How do you feel when the ball is fielded ??????? (At 0:31 I dont understand) How do you feel? How do you feel? I feel like a Tooheys I feel like a Tooheys I feel like a Tooheys or two I feel like a Tooheys I feel like a Tooheys I feel like a Tooheys draught brew

[@ianhinson2829]

0:31 "How do you feel when the ball leaves the field and clears the pickets on the way."

[@ianhinson2829]

Also, a minor correction to your already resolved lyrics. It should be "when you face a new ball and a win is just five runs away".

[@Parag0n]

They don't make em like this anymore

[@brianthe3rd]

i feel like a tooheys or 6

[@antonposa]

I love it when he poured it over the dude's head. (That's about all it's good for.) Cracking ad, though.

[@paulgrey8028]

Clearly you've not ever tried a Tooheys New.

[@Mav1313]

Rixon was the Batsman

[@Hello-kz5db]

How come today's Australian cricket team look like a bunch of kids?

[@countbasiethebicyclemessen4321]

As if DK Lillee would bowl a bouncer, never mind one on leg, with six wanted off the last ball😂... Great ads though.

[@SenhorBundy]

To think the dang uptight hippies wouldn't allow this today...

[@bobhoover1066]

Nah they just wouldn't drink the awful stuff..

[@cabdude2]

Facing Lillee on the last over of the day. Terrifying.

[@peecee1384]

If Lillee pushed through me like that I’d knock him out

[@666dr]

Sure peewee

[@firebouy]

That is so fucking hot.

[@rickydumas9994]

When did Steve Rixon bat at 11? He was better than that. I seem to recall he was also in the ad featuring Mike Whitney and the Windies

[@shanemckenna9416]

Back in the good old days when people drank their state beer. None of this Melbourne swill.

[@saxongreen78]

Toohey's Draught is like stale diabetic urine...has been for decades - and I'm _from_ there.

[@paulgrey8028]

Nothing wrong with VB or Carlton Draught. As my old grandad used to say; 'No such thing as bad beer son. There's good better, then there's even better beer.' lol But then again, he was a Reschs Dirty Annie drinker [Reschs DA]

[@polz8]

Who designed the beer can back then? It says Tooheys Draught and there's a picture of a beer on it, with a plain white background. A lot of thought went into that one!

[@gregoryray9920]

Tooheys is catspiss but a great ad regardless

[@Imrankniazi]

Fine ad. Never seen this beer in Europe though. I'll stick to my Heineken!

[@roybennett6330]

Go Steve rixon!!

[@stevetici2668]

I feel like a corona or 2!

[@paulgrey8028]

Corona is a girls beer. It's so insipid that a wedge of lime is inserted in the bottle neck to give it a hint of flavour other than donkey piss.
