Beer In Ads #941: The Falstaff Gorilla Parachutes

July 27, 2013 By Jay Brooks


Saturday’s bonus ad is our final one for Falstaff, again from 1964. It’s the sixth, and last that I know of, in an odd series of ads featuring a gorilla that Falstaff did that year. This one shows the gorilla having just parachuted from, presumably, an airplane. For the look on his face, things didn’t go to well. Luckily, his smiling gal pal has a six-pack of Falstaff to soothe the savage breast.
