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.

Luckily they remembered to pack a case of Falstaff cans, which is strapped to the very back of the motorcycle with bungee cords.

Tuesday’s ad is another one for Falstaff, also from 1964. It’s the second in an odd series of ads featuring a gorilla that Falstaff did that year. This one shows the gorilla playing the cello while next to her a bespectacled woman kneels, hands folded in her lap, next to a music stand with a pile of Falstaff beer cans in front of her.
