AllHailTheAnimeLover That's something people from my generation forward never would have known. Turns out, That was true of many cartoons from before the 90s.
+AllHailTheAnimeLover Back in those days, most cartoons WERE made primarily for adults, which is part of why it annoys me so to hear people say that cartoons and animation are "for kids." And even the kid's cartoons are made primarily by adults too. And obviously, there is still a market for adult cartoons, as demonstrated by the success of shows like The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad, Beavis & Butthead, and South Park.
Four Zero Four Error Fred and Barney were happily married and did not stray. Betty couldn't have kids that's why they adopted Bam-Bam. And it took awhile for Wilma to finally get pregnant. It wouldn't make sense for Fred and Barney to do a condom commercial. However, I can see them now doing a Viagra one.
Unions can be as bad or worse than an abusive boss. The UCFW is ran like a socialist dictatorship. They treat everyone equally without regard for experience , education or work ethic while the union big shots rake in dues to fatten their own wallets.
This is funny to me. My husband works for a company that’s union (Teamsters to be exact). My husband is against unions, but he needs his job and pays the dues, but we rarely go to the gatherings they have. The last one was maybe 3 years ago.
I think one of them is implied being alcohol?. I assume its the Rock Cola, which is why Fred freaked out when he went to the party and it got served cactus juice rather than Rock Cola. Because in context that would mean the children's party got the Rock Cola instead of Cactus Juice
It was a conservative show made by Republican leaning writers and animators. The show was a way to make people feel like there problems don't matter in the long run and that they should just get back to working for there corrupt business overlords. Luckily shows like that aren't as popular today. Even if they were, Millenials wouldn't fall for it. However GenZ has brought about a group of new wave adults who don't seem to understand that time is valuable. They are undoubtedly going to become obedient puppies like this in the coming decade. Sure they say "YOLO" now, but they will fall into place when they're no longer able to afford there phones and cars.
@@jasonmnosaj Sad how if you even say the word "Republican", the right-wingers automatically take the offensive, without even investigating your point. America celebrates entrepreneurship and capitalism. This entire segment of the famous cartoon clearly flies in the face of the individual spirit which should be every American's dream, and instead encourages them to not trouble their lives in pursuit of individual wealth, no, please leave that to the corporate owners. Settle for menial work and accept your lot in life. Which in short, has long been the conservative mantra.
Surprising it would've been shown at ANY, unless it was one of those industrials that got such a reputation that exhibitors asked for it. You can see it's made not for consumers but for the trade. Once in a while such a thing does happen. Another example I know of was the in-house parody of a Calgon Bubble Bath TV commercial (the child actor's part taken by a brand manager and using the original sound track) that slipped out onto TV, where it was invited back due to popular demand.
one thing folks dont understand these days is thwe "The Flintstones" was NEVER a kids cartoon, it was an adult prime time sitcom when it first aired. Just because it was religated to saturday morning status on it's rerun format there are also winston cigerettes commercials as well. --Rick
The flintstones was not meant to be a childrens cartoon. When it was first aired it would come on at night. It was one of the first adult cartoons. There were many adult jokes and themes.
I would bet you're wrong. So many cartoon characters or series were used to advertise one or the other, I would think chances are great there'd've been some to advertise both. Barney Google would be my guess.
Where the Hell was the owner of this establishment? If I were Fred & Barney I would have took off with all the profits. Come to think of it, I didn't see one person pay for their Busch beer, not even Mr. Slate...🍻🍻🍻
You didn't see the earlier part, where their bartender friend had to go an errand, and asked Fred and Barney to watch the place for them (and earn a few bucks doing that little favor).
The Flinstones "Hawked" Kids cereal, Candy, Soda, Winston cigarettes, and Busch Beer,... everything a growing body and brain needs. (or soon thinks it does)
The problem is, today the ad would be for some "craft" Alfalfa pale ale; not anything actually resembling beer. Also, Fred & Barney would have to be............ VERY different, to reflect the current political and cultural insanity prevalent now.
Today this commercial would end the cartoon due to to many Uptight rightwing people ! It's a Cartoon. And it was Awesome. Thanks for posting this Awesome piece of animation Greatness
+Dean O I think the reasoning is that the left wing have always said parents are responsible for their children, therefore showing this does not make children drink beer so who cares. Left wing does not equal uptight by the way, it equals traditional values. In traditional values people were held accountable for their own acctions. Right wing, however, are the ones who day 'we can't offend anyone', 'we can't expect those poor parents out there to raise their kids ;_:' and 'we can't expect kids to ever pick the right thing!' However, I think the real lesson here is this... left wing, right wing, really they are the same thing. They don't actually adhere to any values in and of themselves, but are designed to change in accordance to whatever the culture is so that they can ever be at the opposite ends. IE if culture tells us alcohol is okay left will attack censorship of the industry, right will complain about how some minority religions don't like alcohol and we should be sensitive. If our culture says that alcohol is bad, the left will be all 'it's a sign of corruption!' and the right will be all 'it's suppressing our rights' That's why all this left and right nonsense needs to be put to rest, with each subject being evaluated on its own merit. There are some cases where we should be more liberal and some cases where we should be more conservative, as we understand the terms at this moment.
Cigarette commercials haven't been allowed on tv for decades so it's a moot point. Plenty of folks on all sides of the political spectrum would be against propaganda for such a deadly product.
Let's have a "Flintstones" marathon party with Busch Beer, Winston Cigarettes, Welch's Grape Juice (with or without vodka), Fruity and Cocoa Pebbles, and vitamins.
Firstly, a great cartoon, always loved the Flintstones! I watched the first time with my granddaddy, and I will say this too anyone, with rage, things were a lot different in the early 60's, it's a damn shame a lot of that has been lost by the hatred and overwhelming prejudice, of the new generation! My own kids are in that new generation, and they, I don't care what I tell him, they don't understand, with all the amazing things that have been brought to the world, since that first episode of The Flintstones in Bedrock, I look around and I still see adults, still acting like Neanderthals! ,
The AA sequel went like this: Fred stumbled home, beat Wilma and passed out on the kitchen floor...Barney drove his car into a lake and lost his wallet....Next morning they were late for work and got fired. Betty and Wilma both filed for divorce....Fred and Barney are poor and can no longer have any Busch.
This video is a beautiful example of how weak and watered down our society has become, Not only do Fred and Barney sell the beer, The ad also talks about how sometimes getting warm and fuzzy with a beer buzz feels so good, This clip has quiet a few controversial aspects of what is dangerous, Today we are safe, We traded our freedom for it.
Yogi Bear did an anti-smoking public service announcement. Why has Yogi Bear never appeared in a public service announcement saying not to drink alcohol? It would be making amends for this.
Glad to know that Busch was responsible for bad decisions even in the 60s. This is a priceless find and take us back to a simpler time when you did not need a team of 20 people to hire back your best employees.
I wonder why Anheiser Busch commissioned a four minute beer commercial from Hanna Barbara? If it was seen by employees only, why go through the expense of writing it, voicing it and animating it? I'm sure it was a hit at the company meeting but how much did it cost?
PartyRocker1013 Gussie Busch owned a baseball team in 1967. They won the World Series that year. I wonder if he would've invested in this spot if baseball salaries were ultra high back then.
+Gregg Colamonico First of all cartoon makers didn't make what they do now. Television didn't used to double dip in it's money. A program might have only one sponsor (ie the iconic 'brought to you buy ____ ' ), and people in the homes did not pay for television service. They paid for a TV, the 'brought to you by's paid for everything else. Secondly, they did it to motivate employees. If you think about it, it's not any different then what companies do now, but really are you more entertained by a fun little cartoon (one that would have been popular among the workers at that ), or by the mind numbering nonsense companies like Walmart or Home Depot or the like put out now

Yes, they did produce a number of sales and promotional films during the 1960's- including another appearance by Fred and Barney in a 1968 Aurora Toys sales film.

Seeing Fred throw that dart got me to thinking "A bird in the hand is worth two in the Busch".
I'm mad that the bird didn't say
"It's a living."
"There's a lot of Busch going to be sold!" The goal of every pimp.

Flintstones are gay
It was shown at a 1966 meeting of the Busch sales force and executives, previewing their 1967 ad campaign.
This commercial has better animation than the actual show.
Nice details. Notice how the bird used as a dart is red like a Cardinal (Busch's parent company owned the St. Louis Cardinals)
Fred And Barney owning a bar ? How cool is that
“The Grove Tavern-Type Inn Bar Grill Lounge Pub Saloon”, to be exact.
Not to mention that this was after Pebbles & Bamm-Bamm arrived.
Man commercials should be like this still today.
The problem is, today the ad would be for some "craft" Alfalfa pale ale; not anything actually resembling beer. Also, Fred & Barney would have to be............ VERY different, to reflect the current political and cultural insanity prevalent now.
back when the flintstones strated off it came on at night when the kiddies where to bed, it was an adult show.
Well the designs look more like the '70s ones when the Flintstones started to be marketed more for kids.
This is awesome I never seen nothing like it
I love the Busch magic calming hand. That's not how MY drunk thoughts work.
And I thought that I saw all of the Flintstones episodes when I was a kid. Knew them all off by heart too. Born in 1961.
"You can't say Beer better than Busch!" Yes, and after a few bottles you can't say anything :D

Barney invented cactus coola or cooler...forget but it's something like that.
In Season 5 episode 4 Fred specifically mentions “Cactus Juice”
(And yeah I know I have too much time on my hands)
They weren't allowed to drink in the show, so it was Cactus Juice for non-alcoholic, and Cactus Cola for "adult beverage"
RIP George Lein. You could but those Busch back in the early 80's like a champion.
I wonder why Anheiser Busch commissioned a four minute beer commercial from Hanna Barbara? If it was seen by employees only, why go through the expense of writing it, voicing it and animating it? I'm sure it was a hit at the company meeting but how much did it cost?
I'd like to think the company had enough money to throw around and seeing the reactions of the employees would be worth enough anyway.
PartyRocker1013 Gussie Busch owned a baseball team in 1967. They won the World Series that year. I wonder if he would've invested in this spot if baseball salaries were ultra high back then.
+Gregg Colamonico First of all cartoon makers didn't make what they do now. Television didn't used to double dip in it's money. A program might have only one sponsor (ie the iconic 'brought to you buy ____ ' ), and people in the homes did not pay for television service. They paid for a TV, the 'brought to you by's paid for everything else.
Secondly, they did it to motivate employees. If you think about it, it's not any different then what companies do now, but really are you more entertained by a fun little cartoon (one that would have been popular among the workers at that ), or by the mind numbering nonsense companies like Walmart or Home Depot or the like put out now

+Gregg Colamonico 2 dollars the Flintstones had to cut corners alot on animation to save money
This is so cool
They pushed Winston cigarettes, too. Couldn't do it today.
Enjoying Busch as I watch this.
This was after "The Flintstones" went off the air.
I had read about this but never saw it until now! Quite the interesting project for H-B!
THANK GOD for youtube huh lol
Hanna-Barbara, we'll hawk anything for a buck!
Yes, they did produce a number of sales and promotional films during the 1960's- including another appearance by Fred and Barney in a 1968 Aurora Toys sales film.
@@fromthesidelines The Flintstones promoted a beverage mixer called Yabba Dabba Dew back in the late 70s and early 80s.
This is a classic commercial
