Beer In Ads #2857: Enjoy Life Or I’ll Shoot You

December 17, 2018 By Jay Brooks


Monday’s ad is for Miller Brewing, from 1939. This ad features a man out hunting with his dog. I know he’s staring off at the sky, most likely looking for his prey, but I can’t help but think it also looks like he’s looking at me (or us), too, in a vaguely threatening manner. It’s a little unsettling, but then I remembered it’s 79 years old and he’s probably dead now, so I probably shouldn’t be too worried.
