This is amazing! Rather than just a 1 minute ad with the Flintstones, we get an ENTIRE episode dedicated to the ad!! Nobody does this these days, which is sad. I've seen more innovation looking back than I have looking forward.
This film was shown at a special Busch sales meeting (sometime in the fall of 1966) attended by their sales force and everyone associated with selling it. I don't think it was presented "closed circuit"; this was projected on a large screen [via a 16mm projector] before those gathered to watch it.
Wrong advertising is too expensive to do those ads that way which is why now we get short ads leaving room for more ads within the same time frame it's about money
The Flintstones! The classic family show that now advertises cereal and vitamins to your children, giving full-length feature episodes promoting beer and the societal approval to drunken up your boss in the means of getting a raise! Also brought to you by Winston cigarettes. "Tastes so good, like a cigarette should!"
This is classic. I love how Fred and Barney get their boss drunk to get their jobs back. "And one more thing! YOU BETTER NOT BE LATE!!!" A classic punchline reveals that he knew it was them the whole time.
@@faithseidel1512 I believe that’s why Jackie Gleason wanted to sue William Hanna and Joe Barbera. Same with Burt Lahr when Hanna Barbera came up with the Snaggle Puss character…Snaggle Puss imitated Lahr’s character the Cowedly Lion.
"This calls for a celebration Barney boy!" Yep! That's the ticket! have a beer to calm you down, have a beer to pick you up, have a beer when things are going all wrong and have a beer when things are going your way. It seems like Busch is targeting the Bar Fly Alcoholic....
And Pabst and Schlitz and Schmidt and Budweiser and Olympia. In the late 1970's there was even a beer named for the brother of President Jimmy Carter called "Billy beer" and a generic beer just labeled "Beer".
Edward Binns, who was a character actor and narrator/commercial voice-over {his best-known tag, in a famous anti-drug ad in the mid-'80s, was, "Parents who use drugs...have KIDS who use drugs"}, is the voice in the Busch ads....
Both actors were indeed talented: look at Binns' work in "Night Moves" (1975), "12 Angry Men," "Patton," and his portrayal as General Korshak in the M*A*S*H episode "The General's Practitioner" amongst others; I became an admirer of Mohr's distinctive voice due to his radio work primarily with "The Whistler," and I remember him quite fondly as the voice of The Green Lantern and Reed Richards from those animated series. Also, check out his roles in the films "Funny Girl" and "The Angry Red Planet"
In those days, selling beer was often aimed at the average "middle-class consumer", instead of teens and twenty-somethings today. Beer was supposed to be something you drank for relaxation and "contentment", after a hard day. Today, most advertising insists beer is for "FUN" and "SEX APPEAL"....you don't "relax" with it, you "party" with it!
I'm pretty sure your stupid god-damn ass makes up all this shit you post all over TH-cam! I mean, come on, you have a stupid fucking comment for EVERY god-damn vintage video on TH-cam!! there's no WAY you'd know all that shit except because you make it up!
The same was true in Canada. Beer ads in the '70s featured guys in their 30s in outdoor scenes such as painting a fence or fishing. By the end of the '80s, the ads were pitched to the frat house crowd.
the busch insignia, or symbol kind of likes looks like that being of a biker's patch, & you know like more, or less like what's upon the back of a pagan member's jacket, hah-hah, heh-heh, ...
So the whole plot of this is these two misused company property, nearly fatally injured their boss, quit their jobs out of a clearly misplaced sense of righteousness, lied to their wives about losing their jobs, got caressed by the totally not creepy and manipulative spirit of beer lady, were given an opportunity for a new job they wanted to do but refused pay, watched 80 commercials of the same 16 words shuffled around, and the moral of the story is, "Just keep drinking beer and everything will work out" Incredible.
2021 TARGET ADVERTISING Executive: “I want a gay, interracial couple with a transgender teenager. Show them wearing masks while buying a bunch of Marvel branded merchandise. Also, I want them bragging about being vaccinated.” Intern: “But sir, aren’t we trying to sell windshield wipers? What does any of that have to do with our business?” Executive: “……, go get us some coffee.”
No only is your comment irrelevant to this video, it shows you are a complete imbecile. I however did not remove it or flag it, but left it for others to deride your maladjusted view of the world we live in today, which would be a better place if people didn't get all tizzied-up about cultural war issues and were just decent to each other. Masks stop the spread, racism is bad and hurts people of all races, and acceptance of people the way they are even though different from you is good and doesn't hurt you one iota.

Wow..amazing and commercials such as those would be banned today because of no diversity. The 50's 60's and 70's were the best decades. A time when it wasn't racist to carry the flag and be proud say I'm an American...you try that now and its almost racist. Who would have ever predicted that one day players would kneel during the anthem at a football game.
I don't even drink alcohol let alone a beer, but this commercial is making thirsty for a Busch
That’s a good advertising does.
This is amazing! Rather than just a 1 minute ad with the Flintstones, we get an ENTIRE episode dedicated to the ad!! Nobody does this these days, which is sad. I've seen more innovation looking back than I have looking forward.
I think it was aimed at companies or sales people. It probably wasn't on TV.
This wasn't a TV commercial it was a special closed circuit program only for bar owners.
This film was shown at a special Busch sales meeting (sometime in the fall of 1966) attended by their sales force and everyone associated with selling it. I don't think it was presented "closed circuit"; this was projected on a large screen [via a 16mm projector] before those gathered to watch it.

Can't give Mr. Slate all the credit....Barney blew their cover.
He said both of their names too. I think saying their names revealed he knew who they were. 😉
That must be some beer! Just two brews, and Slate is mellowed enough to rehire Fred and Barney, with a raise!
This is from '67. One year AFTER Flintstones ended it's firstrun primetime episodes. Consider this the 167th episode of the original run. 😜
Originally presented during a special meeting of Busch sales people, distributors and executives in the fall of 1966.
They advertised Winston cigarettes too on some of those shows.
That settles it! I'm buying a case of Busch beer!
Fred and Barney should’ve kept the bar because the bartender never came back!
Watching this in these times makes me want a beer after work.
The moral of the story. Get your boss a beer to get a raise
My boss in finance kept a bottle of scotch in his drawer if I drank with him I'd probably punch him in the face
"Another Busch, since it's apparently the only thing you sell here!"
I remember watching Fred Flintstone when I got home from school. I was in 4th grade at Way School at the time.
wonder if they had a Winston with their Busch....
You'd think that shit was a 9% IPA
Note how Fred's doing his imitation of Jackie Gleason's "Joe the Bartender".
Clever!
I saw that too

I feel hypnotize. I need a busch
I like a Busch after a Bush
A couple recovering rockaholics
I bet Peter and Brian Griffin would love this kind of beer.
at 3:30 the hypnotic mind control starts
At 8:09 Mel Blanc is using his Marvin the Martian voice.

rebelwalzt so!!!! It's better than smoking that damn no good ILLEGAL marijuana
1 sonofabiscuit LoL, not in my country 😉🤣
Man, that's sad.
How entertaining a Flintstones with Beer Commerical
Beer is like Chinese food, you don't just buy it you rent it. You have to be rich to piss your money away especially in Canada. $40 for a 24 cha-ching
I occasionally have a Busch or a Miller Lite.
My father drank Busch.
Edward Binns was always a favorite commercial voice of mine. He's heard up to the 1:16 mark, and further in this video.
Actually, the voice in this advert belongs to Gerald Mohr:www.imdb.com/title/tt1276371/#:~:text=(uncredited)-,Gerald%20Mohr,(uncredited),-Alan%20Reed
wow man i remember seeing these!!!man i wanna beer so badly now!!
@Tumtumland I occasionally drink a beer or 2 and although some people it does get angry but for me its extremely relaxing and calming
This is a classic
Worth watching!
Drink alcohol to forget your troubles! The job loss, the lack of groceries at home, the eviction notices, the restraining order....
Your first step to alcoholism.
They kept their jobs! Not like today's babies.
That is so cool!!!!
1967 back in the day
6:53 fred is so drunk he sounds like barney
Nice catch lol
Tim Sticle that’s a great error
Great voice error and nice catch!
I Still Think That Maybe It Would’ve Been A Lot Cooler If The Scooby Gang Kept On Hanging Out With Fred Flintstone And Barney Rubble
People sure did have a lot of Busch in the 60s and 70s.
and bush!
I head to the mountains, bbbuuusscchhh, cool as the mountain stream.
And Pabst and Schlitz and Schmidt and Budweiser and Olympia. In the late 1970's there was even a beer named for the brother of President Jimmy Carter called "Billy beer" and a generic beer just labeled "Beer".
Man, Busch is really tooting their own horn with this one.

Yes, Mohr was the overall narrator of this sales film. Binns was the announcer heard in the Busch TV and radio ads.
Both actors were indeed talented: look at Binns' work in "Night Moves" (1975), "12 Angry Men," "Patton," and his portrayal as General Korshak in the M*A*S*H episode "The General's Practitioner" amongst others; I became an admirer of Mohr's distinctive voice due to his radio work primarily with "The Whistler," and I remember him quite fondly as the voice of The Green Lantern and Reed Richards from those animated series.

“Busch is brewed straight. The way a beer should be brewed...” Ha! Not nowadays.
California Angels! 👼
Imagine Homer Simpson and Barney (Gumble) doing this today 😅
I came all the way down here for 6:18

Excellent comment.
Beer takes the edge off you make you relax
Where can I get some of that Busch that bends bosses to my will?
Surely, they're not falsely advertising, right?
If you want a quick buzz or even to just get shit faced. Busch does it
I don't remember seeing this before
4:37
Barney: _"Hey Fred. That sounds just like the TV commercials"_
I wasn't around in 67. Did they not have radio commercials before then?
Sure they did. Busch Beer tailored their advertising for both television *and* radio.
yabba dabba drunk.
Bet this commercial would not be allowed nowadays.
This makes me wanna go get an actual stout just to give anhiser-bush the finger
I think the whole band was already drunk
GRAND DAD!

Did NBC actually show this on air 😳🫢

I wonder who their sponsor?
"You can't say sexism better than Busch!"

A good chunk of us aren't. I wish we were, but we aren't

Encouraging kids to drink beer? Encouraging men to watch cartoons? Neither is good for America.
I will drink to that 9:45 9:53
Ah back when cartoons weren't so PC
Yabba Dabba Doo but not when operating Heavy Equipment 😀
Drunk band!!
This is almost brainwashing
Almost?
Darrin Baker yeah, it IS brainwashing!
It's ashame that Busch is a disgusting beer, there is way better beer than that.
Wow..amazing and commercials such as those would be banned today because of no diversity. The 50's 60's and 70's were the best decades.
