Here's a commercial for Piels Real Draft beer (with the voices of famous comedy duo Bob & Ray [Bob Elliott and Ray Goulding] as Bert and Harry Piel), here disguised with Groucho glasses to induce a customer at a bar to drink their brand of beer.
This was an attempt to revive an animated ad campaign involving Mr. Elliott and Mr. Goulding as the Piel brothers that was begun in 1955 (and lasted until 1960) by advertising agency Young & Rubicam (and animated by the New York branch of UPA, of Mr. Magoo fame). The selling point was that this was in a can, with a snap top.
“You can't beat the fresh creamy taste."
This aired on local Boston TV on Monday, September 8th 1975 during the 8:00pm to 9:00pm (Eastern) timeframe.

If you have any old 1970s videotapes recorded off of TV please email: [email protected] Even though (mostly) short clips are displayed here, we preserve the entire broadcasts in our archives - the complete programs with breaks (or however much is present on the tape), for historical preservation.
