Victoria Bitter (VB) 2001 Australian beer TV commercial

Possibly the last of the "original" John Meillon voiceover ads? Aired October 2001.

Back when a country had balls

Unfortunately we are now run by deranged, short sighted, greedy sociopaths. It has made us weak, timid and useless.

[@jasonh.8754]

Yep, asbestos mining, 1987 stock crash, the recession we had to have, Alan Bond, Christopher Skase, Lindy Chamberlain, Gerald Risdale, the list goes on. Great times. At least we were so drunk we don't even remember - or maybe that was the whole point.

[@andrewwestcott9172]

It certainly had a lot of white balls.

[@jackkennedy70]

Too true

You can get it fitting a rug Or having a tug 😂

[@panicfarm9874]

Well it’s done the trick I’m going to the pub

[@snakedog7974]

It's been 5 years since you posted this comment.. are you back from the pub yet?

[@Brandon-bh7pj]

Man Australia seemed like a more simpler and easy time back then.

[@wperfect]

It was so good

[@jasonh.8754]

Yep, get drunk enough every weekend to erase your memory, then start work on Monday all over again as if the previous week never happened...

[@doctorbohr1585]

Well apart from 9/11, when we all thought WW3 was going to happen 😂. 2001 was, however, the year of "Not happy Jan".

[@stupendous1068]

John Meillon died in 1989, yet this is definitely his voice and this ad is from 2001. VB must have bribed God to let him do these ads.

[@stephenphilipps]

Wow what an ad the music just perfectly timed ahaha

[@gtaveteran]

i love watching an ad before watching an ad.

[@kayladylan284]

I was 2 years old when this commercial used to be aired on tv. its so interesting to see what television for my parents was like while i was still learning how to talk!

[@Davez621]

I'm pretty sure this ad is originally from 1999, but it re-aired in 2001 which is when this recording is from.

[@OzzysRadioHalfHour]

You can get it on the dunny

[@RPAS1234]

....or being funny

[@lindsaydonovan6241]

0:02 what's going on here?

[@purebloodsunite7489]

looks like dipping the cows in some kind of medical solution

[@MrShotgunJake]

Dipping of cattle, usually in insecticide or pesticides to prevent ticks or other parasites, and usually up to the animal's neck.

[@zonic26]

Actually not the last John Meillon ad but I'd think most likely during the last of what was produced, here's a recording of ads in Adelaide on channel ten in 2003, there's one ad here which isn't already anywhere else, start watching from 10:56 kzbin.info/www/bejne/emjMgJqvZcaagMk

Why does everything from analog TV look like it's from the 80s?

[@DoomKid]

(I hope this doesn't sound condescending, but) because everything from the 80s was analog, so we associate the two, even for stuff from the 70s, 90s or early 2000s fairly often
