Ahhh the good old days. Kicking back with your best bud, havin' a smoke while the women did housework. If only Fred & Barney were cracking open a few PBR's, I'd say that's the perfect commercial.

I liked that, pretty funny they could get away with shit like that back then.
Out of newer commercials I like that auto insurance one where that blue smiley says "well fuck them!"

The mind boggles at the idea that a tobacco company actually sponsored a cartoon show!! .. I know the Flintstones were aired in prime time back then and were aimed at an "adult" audience at first, and that cigarette commercials were commonplace back then, but still... those were very different times. By today's standards, that would be like Jack Daniels and Trojan Condoms sponsoring "The Simpsons."
I used to have an old VHS tape of "Classic Commercials" with that Winston spot on it, but lost it years ago. Until I tripped over the video on YouTube the other day I was beginning to wonder if I'd just imagined it.
