Guinness Ad #68: Guinness — Him Strong

May 14, 2011 By Jay Brooks

guinness-toucan
Our 68th Guinness ad is an another odd one, the second from a time when sensitivities toward Native Americans weren’t particularly high. Using for a second time the cringeworthy tagline “— Him Strong,” this one shows not the iconic Toucan but a smiling group of Native Americans sitting in a canoe being held up by, presumably, the chief, who has a bottle of Guinness tucked into his pouch.

And here’s a second ad of the same scene, but from a different angle.

    Is the phallic nature of the beer bottle worth noting?
