that's the thing about their marketing. i took a tour of the Pabst Brewery in Milwaukee and the reason Pabst came back was the Grunge movement and word of mouth. No ads, no marketing, no billboards, just some counter culture kids who wanted some good cheap beer
That is awesome! I think I will as well right along with the scene in "Gone in 60 Seconds" when they are meditating to the music before they go steal cars!
Watch Campbell’s Soup commercial with Ann Miller (dancing) . Also …. I’ve seen Motörhead over ten times !! One time Man-O-War opened and they were extremely loud . Luckily , Motörhead were not as loud that night !!
@@JRMillion LOL! When I saw that your comment was 10 years old I thought, "I hope the dude is still alive!" Glad you are, let's have a few Pabst to celebrate, ha
Actually, this commercial is made to sound like the Bee-Gees, even though they had NOTHING to do with this! It just SOUNDS like they did! And commercials like THIS, would lead to a string of lawsuits, later on!
Patrick's costar is dancer/actress Denise Richard. The commercial was shot in NYC over a 3 day period. If I remember correctly, the cinematographer was Ralf D. Bode, who was also the director of photography on Saturday Night Fever.
Not Richards. It doesn't look remotely like her. Swayze with a woman who might very well be his wife, Lisa Niemi, in this 1979 commercial for Pabst Blue Ribbon.

When the sun goes down, and the evening rolls around That's the time I find, got Blue Ribbon on mind! I've got Pabst Blue Ribbon on my mind! More and more lately, I find! I've got a taste for livin', I'm thinkin' cold Blue Ribbon, I've got Pabst Blue Ribbon on my mind!
That's the Buddy I knew, just a few years earlier ('73-'76). A truly nice, lovely guy that nobody could dislike (even the guys who were jealous of him). A really good partner, too, as we get just a little glimpse of here. Not sure, but I think that is his eventual wife, Lisa Niemi, dancing with him. I love ads that give dancers work (some from the past include Great American Soup, Dr. Pepper, and Ebay).
My Uncle, Kurt Grayson was in a Shasta root beer commercial where he walks in yelling out, BARKEEP Give me something that's good, A chorus line of gals starts singing, It's Shasta Mr Shane, the finest root beer in the world, they all do a dance, Kurt is boot stomping, its on UA-cam if you search Shasta root beer tv ad, Shasta Mr Shane.
This song is what's known as either a "sound alike" or "style alike". Something written to ape the real thing, but all the while, just stopping short of plagiarism. Composers run into this all the time- it's called "temp music"! :)
The first 8 seconds sounds awfully familiar. It sounds like Hello News by TV News theme/promo king Frank Gari. There's a feeling in the air that you can't get anywhere
Best beer commercial I've ever seen, disco and all, lol. Pabst Blue Ribbon: preferred beer of festivals and staple "sneak-in drink" at raves nation-wide. Fuck Yeah!
Best grilling out, lawn mowing, working out in your yard and working man's beer you can find! Traditional American roots and heritage! This is the beer that made the fabric of America!!!

If they just showed this commercial today with no explanation or ironic throwback prelude, people would 100% buy more PBR.

PABST
I guess in some ways, Johnny Russell was a bit of a spokesman for them with "Rednecks, White Sox and Blue Ribbon Beer"
I actually watch this to psych myself up before going out all the time.
That is awesome! I think I will as well right along with the scene in "Gone in 60 Seconds" when they are meditating to the music before they go steal cars!
Me too

My preferred pre-workout to this day
Genius
Wow! I have never wanted a Pabst Blue Ribbon as much as I do now!
RIP Patrick. Damn, that dude could dance.
This might be the greatest commercial i have ever seen!!!
Listen2Motorhead I’ve never seen this before until now. I totally agree’!
🤣🤣
right up there with the Hamms Beer commercial with the bear in the jeep
Watch Campbell’s Soup commercial with Ann Miller (dancing) .
Also …. I’ve seen Motörhead over ten times !!
One time Man-O-War opened and they were extremely loud .
Luckily , Motörhead were not as loud that night !!
Watching these vintage ads while trying Pabst Blue Ribbon for the first time in my life. Cheers from Brazil!
Does anyone else find the quality of this video surprisingly good for a commercial from the 70s?
That was my question...how the hell is this in HD?
@@joeblough261 I don't remember commenting on this 10 years ago lol but in retrospect I am assuming it was digitally upscasled/sharpened.
@@JRMillion LOL! When I saw that your comment was 10 years old I thought, "I hope the dude is still alive!" Glad you are, let's have a few Pabst to celebrate, ha
Because the 70' were just effing better then them all !!!
CRAYZE for SWAYZE. This guy sure had charisma.
fr
If Patrick Swayze did Saturday Night Fever.
Actually, this commercial is made to sound like the Bee-Gees, even though they had NOTHING to do with this!
It just SOUNDS like they did!
And commercials like THIS, would lead to a string of lawsuits, later on!
If Swayze did SNF, the game would be over and I think Travolta wouldn’t be as famous.
Funny enough Swayze played Danny Zuko in Grease on Broadway briefly.
@@ojsilva1975 Wow Ozzy-Something to ponder! :)
A. Barnard yes! If Swayze did SNF and Travolta did Dirty Dancing... sheesh. That’s REALLY something to think about to this day.
He was so amazingly talented! This was when his knee couldn't take Dancing as much anymore. While doing Grease on Broadway. I miss him!
Patrick Swayze---one heck of a talented and gifted man! No question about that!
And PBR lover!!! :)

@@pablobruning4508 no, it can't be Lisa. If you look really closely and in slow motion, you can see it's not her.
Denise Richards would have been 8 years old when this commercial came out so I'm thinking it's not her
@@farmthug0085 - Thinking... LOL!!!! She definitely is not 8 years old here and Pabst wouldn't do a commercial like that ever!!!
That was great RlP Swayze
WAVY they don’t commercials like this anymore. Especially with great actors.
RIP Swayze - my you sure could dance!
As someone who drinks PBR I can confirm that this is exactly what happens when I drink it
Guy walks into a bar and asks "What's the cheapest thing here?"
Barmaid: "Well, at the present time, that would be YOU!"
This is a true classic
This song is going to be stuck in my head for days.
so good!!! Patrick sure could dance.
I think he was professionally trained
Damn good

Can’t believe this is in HD and widescreen! Great piece of nostalgia and Swayze history!
Wow! Blast from the fucking past! DISCO LIVES! RIP PATRICK.
PBR has never been so classy
good beer in 1979... good beer in 2015.
Good beer since 1844, good beer in 2022!!! Will always be the American classic!
70s and 80s beer.
LOVE it ! Great to see Patrick Swayze ❤️🧡💛
A perfect combination, Disco and PBR
When the sun goes down,
and the evening rolls around
That's the time I find,
got Blue Ribbon on mind!
I've got Pabst Blue Ribbon on my mind!
More and more lately, I find!
I've got a taste for livin',
I'm thinkin' cold Blue Ribbon,
I've got Pabst Blue Ribbon on my mind!
It's good when the sun comes up too😋

First its funny then its like damn this song isnt bad and swazye looks amazing
"How closely can we rip off Saturday Night Fever without paying royalties?"
This song is what's known as either a "sound alike" or "style alike".

Composers run into this all the time- it's called "temp music"! :)
YES! LMAO
he just had done SKATETOWN USA so there was that too
Dirty Dancing
Some of the music vaguely sounds like The Hustle!
Oh...I miss Patrick so much...😔❤
This is the greatest thing ever created.
OMG...what a hidden gem.
Best beer commercial I have ever seen.
I love this song
Patrick Swayze and his dancing partner wife Lisa Niemi who were married in 1975!
Patrick Swayze is amazing!!
Nice vintage commercial w/ Swayze! Love the PBR too!
Woww ! thats were he left from to be a "Cooler" in Kansas at the Double Dushe!?
wait,wait... this is before Drunk Dirty Dancing, isn't it ?
“Pabst don’t hurt.” 😆🍻
A sip of Pabst and you can dance like him
How could 37 people not like this?
I can't stop watching. Terrific song
I remember this song from when i was 8. What a nice jingly jingle jinger.
My dad still tells me all the time about the evils of disco
Move over Budweiser. There’s a new King in town. 🍺 🍻
This is the best thing I have seen on you tube - ever - Bohdi!!!!!
Pabst blue ribbon baby!!!
Just watched Waking Up In Reno and it's all starting to make sense now.
RIP. patrick swayze.
Swayze and PBR. What could be better?
Anyone who does a commercial for PBR is automatically awesome. This is just the way of the world.
RIP Sweet Prince.
This is much better than it has any real right to be...
I, too, like to fill my mind with thoughts of specific brands of beer when I'm on evenings out with beautiful women at nightclubs.
Since 1844!-that is a lot of history. And then it won a blue ribbon in 1893! I want to try this beer.
they should re-air this commercial
Patrick était beau danseur dans cette pub américaine💗
RIP Patrick
OMG that SCARF! That HAIR! He doesn't look old enough to DRINK! The OUTFIT! Yeeesh. Thank you Simmons. You just ruined my night.
Ну какой ты красивый , молодой , самый лудший для меня мужчина. Патрик всегда прекрасен!!! Я ЛЮБЛЮ ТЕБЯ!!!❤❤❤ СКУЧАЮ😢😢
Swayze looks like he is walking down the street set from Laverne & Shirley at the start of this ad.
Right down from the Pabst Brewery!
Swayze is indeed missed
Watched North and South recently
AWESOME mini series
And thus, this is how Patrick Swayze got stared in Dirty Dancing {idk, actually}
@0:04 the cool way to step out of one's appartment
This video is how I feel after I drink 12 cans of PBR and then go out in public.
Great HD quality! Good commercial. How about the hair flip and bounce?
Anything's good if Patrick Swayze's in it.
This is the besteset commercial of all times.
Brilliant!! I love this beer!!
I'm a Heineken guy but Nick Rivers picked up 1984 weekend work. Nice!
Nobody put PBR in the corner!
wow he looks like dirk diggler.... really great quality for 79
he was a great dancer that Patrick
Damn you Simmons!!
The first 8 seconds sounds awfully familiar. It sounds like Hello News by TV News theme/promo king Frank Gari. There's a feeling in the air that you can't get anywhere
Holy f*ck, this is almost as good as the Barbasol commercial and 20 years it's elder.
I'm dreaming was born on 60's to have a chance with him :)
If he had sold a box full of holes, I had bought 1 billion. I swear.
Best beer commercial I've ever seen, disco and all, lol.
Pabst Blue Ribbon: preferred beer of festivals and staple "sneak-in drink" at raves nation-wide. Fuck Yeah!
Ahh yes.. the 70s. That's pretty sharp quality for the age of it..
CapAnson12345 Right? I saw this and was like, this is both well-shot and well-preserved considering how old it is.
Way to go Swazi!!!!!!!
Du bist so schön Patrick Swayze
Damn, Swayze could move. That guy had it.
Patrick showing off his dance skills!
Awesome!!!
Oh yeah, it's not my favorite beer, Craft and dark beers hold that place in my heart. But it is by far one the best in its price range.

Great work Bill!
todo un bailarin de su epoca tan bueno como travolta o mas me recuerda fiebre del sabado noche
love the hair toss around :11
That's some Dirty Dancing right there
Brewed originally in my old home town, Peoria Il.
+Teresa Boze Peoria city hall - such a beautiful building
+Teresa Boze Actually in Peoria Heights...
Originally brewed in Milwaukee, WI and they opened the Peoria brewery in the 30s. Nice try tho
Suspiciously good quality...
good editing eric. you left all the good stuff and took out all the bad! excellent
Wow..pain DO hurt...this really hurts...well-played Simmons,well-played
Hope I'm not the only one drinking an ice cold beer watching beer videos.
Disco PBR and disco KISS…what kind of world are we living in!lol
I didn't know Patrick Swayze was a hipster.
The singer is Ron Dante, voice of the Archies.
Patrick Swayze ser um grande ator Patrick Swayze era simplesmente fantástico muito talentozo e lindo também ele deixou muita saudade aqui entre os vivente saudade eterna rei dos garanhão americano Patrick Swayze era simplesmente r
Fell for it too... SG.
I'd drink beer if Patrick would kiss me like that. [Yes, I know he's dead. There's always that kiss like in the movie "Ghost".]
thank you bill!
