Best find ever!
Can I just say that this is, like, the best innernerd find I've ever made? Well, not really "made" in that it was heretofore virginal territory that I am deflowering with my link, but more like I found it on my own and not through DataWhat or whatever.
It is here, and it is the (seemingly) complete series of Miller High Life commercials, featuring that deep-voiced guy, talking about living the High Life. I looooove these commericials, and little did I know that Erroll Morris directed all of them! I'm linking to one of my faves, "Hotdog," because it has probably the best script of them all. But my favorite line so far comes from "Champagne," and it go: "Well, if Francois knows so much about champagne, how come he never figured out how to put it in cans?"
The sidebar on the right has all the links. So, hippies, devote the rest of your afternoon to living...the High Life.
Also: Can I just say how fucking weak those Bud Light "Real Men Of Genius" commercials are compared to these? Both embrace the post-"The Man Show", post- Fight Club, anti-Oprahization, pro-Regular Guy, retrosexual aesthetic, I submit. This aesthetic celebrates men and their poor fashion choices, terrible eating habits, and fondness for working with our hands, instead of seeking to turn us into underwear models with manicures who use "product" in our hair. Miller (and Morris) does this with a subtle wink, while Budweiser does it with a bombastic, over-the-top, more obvious campaign. Should a man have to think about his beer commercial? Probably not, but it seems to be more rewarding. Like when a man chooses a Miller High Life.
Hey, there's another goddamn commerical right there.
UPDATE: OMG, so funny: "He knows that the blood that courses through those veins is full of man-juice from Milwaukee." Best.
