If you wanted to drink a Heineken before this ad, perhaps Dennis Hopper telling you to "*#@%& that $^@&” in these vulgar Pabst Blue Ribbon ads will change your mind. YouTube user RoboJules has sampled some footage from the movie ‘Blue Velvet’ to produce a Pabst Blue Ribbon ad that is hilarious.
Whether these vulgar Pabst Blue Ribbon ads would actually be used by the company is a different story (my guess is probably not). The ad also includes the slogan “Because Heineken is for pussies,” which has yet to be proven scientifically.
