Beer In Ads #631: RELAX. You’re Sure When It’s Budweiser …

June 18, 2012 By Jay Brooks


Monday’s ad is for Budweiser, another in their long-running “where there’s life … there’s Bud” series. Based on the man with the goofy grin’s fashion sense, I’d say 1950s. I don’t think you have to tell a man in a hammock (I know, my kids gave me one for Father’s Day yesterday) to “RELAX,” but that’s how they phrased their copy. Since Budweiser listed their ingredients on the label, you could be “sure,” sure of what exactly, I can’t really say.

    I see a striking resemblance between this guy and Johnny Knoxville. Anyone else see that?
