Tuesday’s ad is for “Budweiser,” from 1959. This ad was made for Anheuser-Busch, and was part of their series using the tagline. “Where there’s Life … there’s Bud,” which ran from the 1950s into the 1960s, and this one features a couple on what appears to be a hayride. Everyone on this ad has an odd expression. The man driving the horses looks like he’s yelling something, which makes sense because the text begins: “Whoa!” The man in the couple, who looks a little a young Burt Lancaster, has a weird smirk on his face and the woman, like most of these ads, seems way too interested in watching him pour the beer, which must not be easy to do in a moving hay cart.
