I noticed that in most of the bull commercials people run away from the charging bull. Not Mr. Rufus Thomas. He just stepped to the side and let the bull do his thing.
I've watched this about fifty times already since I came across it! Love the way he looks to the side and walks up the steps when the bull comes thru the door.
This commercial was produced by Leo Burnett Advertising. The Leo Burnett Co. TV producer for this spot was Wally Smith. There were many Schlitz Malt Liquor spots produced in the '70;s. Victor Haboush of Haboush Production, L.A., was the studio director for many of them if not all.
Gotta give it to Rufus as funny as this may seem Rufus/Rudy Ray Moore open up many doors for the blacks who think they're the shit today...Tip your freakin hat off to Rufus/Rudy, who made it happen for blacks to express themselves, somebody gotta do it, they did it!
This commercial would come on randomly but definitely during late nights when Soul train,wrestling and late nite movies would air....usually a random AD Council psa would follow or come before it LOL
They had the right slogan "watch out for the bull" because that was some absolute bullshit. I can't believe that niggaz used to actually drink that $hi+. Those commercials were directly targeting the hood.
This is the greatest commercial ever made.
Agreed - Greatest commercial I have ever seen

...That's the Blackest thing I've ever seen, and I've been Black all my life.
Sorry dude. But this reminds me of that commercial in that movie "Undercover Brother" about General's Fried Chicken (We Be Fryin'!!!)
The Juan Atomz Universe 😂😂😂😂👍🏿
It could have been "blacker" if the actor had a 40oz instead of 4 8oz cans.
Ohhhhh. U knocked me str8 to da floor. RLOL.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
if rufus was wearing a red cape, the bull would have been really pissed off. with pink, the bull's just slightly annoyed.....
Rufus Thomas claimed to be the funkiest man alive. I love seeing the mountains of evidence!!!!!
Right, he was 54 yrs old when he had 3 #1 DANCE records in a row.
Amen
Oh no, he WAS. There is NO contest.
I've watched this about fifty times already since I came across it! Love the way he looks to the side and walks up the steps when the bull comes thru the door.
Man he got tf up out the way 🤣
Martin Lawrence was doing the Rufus Thomas dance back in the 90s
Jerome's in the house 😁
The moves were like an actual dance that Rufus made a song about...it was called the "Breakdown"
ua-cam.com/video/0GWS6x73Pu0/v-deo.html
The bull like "Chill out Rufus Mannn....I just want one a dem cold beers!"
This is possibly the funkiest video ever...
He should have brought up a few more cans; he may be there for awhile. That bull does not look like it is going anywhere.
The Bull is like "He gotta come down sometime!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😀😀😀😀😀

They all should be shot. Lol
@@bebin73 I was thinking throats cut!
I always liked these, remember the old Kool-Aid commercials where the pitcher thing would come through the wall.
With that outfit he should've been selling Pepto Bismol NOT Schlitz Malt Liquor.
🤣🤣🤣
Even the bull couldn’t handle all that funkiness.
I swear to god this is one of THEE FUNNIEST commercials I have ever seen in my ENTIRE LIFE.
I cracked TF up! This was a REAL commercial 🤦🏽♀️
This is wrong on so many levels but I love it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Well that’s just like your opinion, Man...”
The Dude
I scanned the comments until I found one person that felt the way I did and bingo
Love it
How is it wrong?
I think I saw Rufus with the same outfit on an episode of The Electric Company. He was teaching kids about silent K words.
He wore that thing Everywhere!
Dude had the coolest dressing room I have ever seen.
I remember this commercial as a kid. I liked how the bull turns and looks towards the camera at the end.
He’s kinda cute!
In one of Rufus's hits "The Push 'n Pull" he sings "I gotta brand new dance that ain't no bull."
Now he has a dance that IS bull.
I think he drank b4 they filmed this...
😀😀😀😀😀
I've watched just about all of these commercials and he was the only person who wasn't afraid of the bull
Arthur Hosey Jr. Him and Richard Roundtree in another shlitz commercial
I've been looking for this for years! Thanks!

Lol. The best commercial of all the Schlitz Bull commercial
🌚That was one funny commercial; and I was only a newborn baby that year!!🌚
That's my favourite malt liquor advert.I was only a kid and wasn't too young for the Clown Prince of Dance.
It's good, but not as good as Anaconda malt liquor
Damn they really just let the bull loose in the studio to trash it haha. Tearing shit up for real LOL, They didn't fuck around the 70's
I remember this commercial back then! Wow! Mr. Rufus " !! Great find!♥️😊
Slitz made the most dangerous commercials ever!
It makes you wanna go back in time and live there.
These commercials used to during soul train
Hi good to see.
hahah
Go good tv and videos. and good programs. Great to see.
Mr. Derrius Branch & Assoc.
Remember this when I was a kid
He sold the hell out of that beer.
Looks like he DRANK the hell out of it before filming this commercial lmfaooo
yeah yeah,. that's just about the coolest thing I've seen... if I could only be half as funky.
😂😂😂😂😂 Rest in peace Rufus and thanks for the memories.
I bet this commercial was shown frequently during Soul Train.
Rodney Bickersteth my mom said it was hahaha when I showed it to her
This commercial would come on randomly but definitely during late nights when Soul train,wrestling and late nite movies would air....usually a random AD Council psa would follow or come before it LOL
Some funky clav riffs would have been a good fit for this ad.
now tell the truth...AIN'T I CLEAN!
All that was missing was some fried chicken
Yes very true too and blunt too.
Rufus Thomas is so funny!!! in this commerical. LOL!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Best commercial ever
Rufus was lucky he wasn't wearing red.
Nobody makes malt liquor 🥃 better than Schlitz 😅
He was already drunk.
eileen grant 😂hey, tell me.
Rufus Thomas....My Man, Pots and Pans LOL!!!
Love this vintage stuff! That dance that he did at :47:00 lol. Bow legs and all lol
Im actually beyond words here

Funkiness at its finest!
"Look out for the buuuullllll........"
Looks like Rufus had a bit TOO MUCH bull...
Where does one acquire an outfit like that?

This is Comedy Flashback Commercials. Bet you his kids would hide in a closet and not watch that 🤣🤣🤣
What did I just watch?
I do not know the guy, but I know the Bull. I drank a lot of it in the 70-80s.
Amazing !! So disco era
this is gold
one of the dopest entertainers alive
with a name like rufus you destined for funk
This dude got Soul
Funktastic. Lol
Considering when this was made, the context is unsurprising.
He had on his famous pink outfit to lol!!
Love it. I just turned legal to drink. Good all days.
This isn't a commercial for malt liquor. It's a commercial for cocaine.
He came up with this dance after being pulled over by the police for driving after drinking one too many Shlitz malt liquor Bulls.
MY POPS...and all of my goddamn unkul's
great 👍
They always use your own to get u to do the wrong thing 😅😅
Yeah Yeah!
Watch out 4 the buuuuulllllllll lol😂😂
Is that Schlitz malt liquor, -the only- the 2nd malt liquor to be approved by Uncle Sam himself?
Wow and today this is considered wino beer
Cedric the entertainer brought me here
This was A commercial??!! Is this real??!!!
Yes it's very real.
Lol my man Rufus
That bull was all hopped up on malt liquor cx
Blaxploitation at it’s finest 🤦🏾♂️
That's All Pop Drank
Sad most black people don't even know who his is and what he has done in the music industry
Anaconda Malt Liquor!!! 😂😂😂😂
If you don't know what I'm talking about, see the movie Black Dynamite!!! It'll keep you laughing!! 😂
Its the only malt liquor recommended by the government.
Please tell me the title of this song.
Somehow I think that bull still wanted to gouge Rufus if that stage didn't lift up
This commercial is even funnier slowed down.
Damn.
Pre-Millenial thought police.
