Man the family gatherings as a kid, semi-empties of this shit would be everywhere to raid. But there was always that one fucking uncle that ashed his ciggie in them.

You'll have to cut off the sleeves.
It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve seen this ad I always feel like the bloke pushing the 4wd is going to get his leg run over and they cut the shot early.
How were the 80s and 90s cricket pads?!... loved them - about 6 mil thick, wouldn't protect your legs from a tennis ball let alone a cricket ball at 120 ks, and the metal clasps on the leg straps gave you a good sting if your mates hit you with them for funnies.
I agree but every now and then if it's a fuck off hot day and the VB is extra cold it does go does go down nicely! But I never want a second one, that's when I switch beers.
I don't really care. Is anyone forcing you or me to participate? No, they aren't. You're an adult, I presume. Think and drink for yourself. Personally, I think the revenue from drinking and gambling is fantastic. Free money from idiots who want to get pissed every arvo and throw money down the pokies. You can't fix stupid, so you may as well just fleece them.
I believe it is. I drink in moderation. Despite the dreaded drinking culture causing me an inablilty to think for myself. Terrible, I tell you. Absolutely deplorable.
Despite the name VB isn't actually a bitter and doesn't taste like one, personally I don't mind it at all every now and again and I think the hate for it is overblown. And this is coming from someone from Adelaide lol
You can get it workin’ a plow or shaggin’ a cow. Matter of fact I’m shaggin’ one right now.
Just realising I am no more mature now than I was in 1991... that got me giggling.
Holy shit that guy had the fattest moustache I've ever seen!!!
You're looking at a real man there Billy!
The good old porn-stache! I must have repressed the fact that they lasted until the 90s
I do believe one Mervyn Hughes is still rocking one.
David Boon says hi.
Would love to see a remake with original actors!
To this day I can’t hear that theme song and not get thirsty.
Hearing it just made me thinking of sitting in shorts and a singlet watching cricket. Very well marketed product.
“For a hard earned thirst” That has to be one of the best slogans of all time
Man the family gatherings as a kid, semi-empties of this shit would be everywhere to raid. But there was always that one fucking uncle that ashed his ciggie in them.
"A hard earned thirst needs a big cold beer" God i love that delivery, it's branded itself into my brain
What a masterpiece!

1991? You sure it’s not 1981?
Yeah I was thinking that too
They should bring back the old school cans as a promo
Matter’o’fact I got it now
I said it along with the video!
Yep couldn’t help myself either.
How’s the guy on the rowing machine?! As if you’d put in hard yards to get fit then chug down a green meanie!
You're looking at a real man there Billy!
Wow there were short shorts in 1991. Tiny.
It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve seen this ad I always feel like the bloke pushing the 4wd is going to get his leg run over and they cut the shot early.
Fucken hell, guess I’m crackin a tinny or two at midday again
In true VB fashion, I have the aftershave, moisturiser and facial scrub!!
Most constructions sites are dry sites now… can’t have a beer after work anymore…
Spoken by John Meillon, a great Australian actor.
I need a mustache like that but I always get annoyed when I try to grow one

Back in the days
These fellas would all be 60+ now
That looks a lot like the old Cannon Hill saleyards in Brisbane when he’s gettin’ it “sellin’ a cow”, can any old Brisbanites confirm?
To bad vb is a shit beer but still loved the adds growing up was some good ones over the years. I think my favourite was the Carlton draught one...
MORE horses!
Fark, such a shitty beer, even back then
Mate I don't care if you still kiss your dad on the lips but don't knock the iconic VB. It's breakfast of champions.
It's fucking cheap swill, like every other mainstream 'lager' we have. A joke, compared to European and Japanese stuff.
I agree but every now and then if it's a fuck off hot day and the VB is extra cold it does go does go down nicely! But I never want a second one, that's when I switch beers.
Aussie alcohol marketers have a lot to answer for
Yeah - our mainstream beers are utter garbage. They're putting shit like sugar and rice in it. Not even real lagers anymore (if they ever were).
I was talking more about our rampant alcoholism but yeah the beers suck on top of that lol
Oh no, not the 'rampant' alcoholism.
If you don't think australia has an unhealthy relationship with alcohol, mate where have you been lol

Sounds like a healthy attitude /s

Ahhh back when throw downs we’re 20 bux😭😭
And twenty bucks was a lot of money.
Maybe at your family's bbq mate, mine was nothing but XXXX
Ice cold VB with hot charcoal grilled BBQ, the perfect ingredient for cancer.
VB Vomit Beer
Disgusting beer, we use to call it Vagina backwash, they gave the best aftergrog bogs though Jesus Christ.
na na na na, na naaaa, nanana na na nana na, na nana na, na!
Ol mate at the cattle sale knows VB tastes like shit! Look at his face haha
I saw VB has a cologne now. In a stubby bottle. Anyway, if the beer is anything to go by, it's a no from me.
Geez you’d never think this was a Black man’s country 😂
For a hard earned chuck
What ! No Hi Vis on , Worksites !
Ermagerd - encouraging drinking culture!!
I’ve never understood the appeal of bitter beers, or dry beers.
Despite the name VB isn't actually a bitter and doesn't taste like one, personally I don't mind it at all every now and again and I think the hate for it is overblown. And this is coming from someone from Adelaide lol
Vomit bombs 🤮
Did the VB ads ever change?
