Bud Light – 2002 – Cedric Plays Matchmaker

Cedric the Entertainer tries to give a little Cyrano-style advice to a dude in a bar, but it all goes hilariously wrong because of a misunderstanding. It’s like every episode of Three’s Company condensed into a thirty-second beer commercial.

So whatever happened to Cedric the Entertainer? If he’s dead it make sense that we haven’t heard from him in a while, but if he’s not then it’s just weird. Not as weird as his name, though. It’s just plain strange to have a noun as part of your name, especially with a demonstrative adjective lurking before it, just waiting to cause trouble. It’s a lot to live up to: if you don’t entertain, you cannot be “the entertainer”, ergo your career is over.

So his name killed his career, or he’s dead.

Bud Light – 2002 – Satin Sheets

This could be sort of a PSA about the dangers of satin sheets.

Seriously, that woman upstairs with a black teddy and red satin sheets, and this loser needs the Bud Light to get him up there? Hot chick needs to dump the schlub and find a real man, one that values her for who she is as a woman. Or at least one that places her value higher than Bud Light, maybe somewhere around, oh, at least a cold Fat Tire?

Bud Light – 2002 – RoboBash

The BotBash (anybody remember that show?) guys reportedly helped produce this funny spot for Bud Light. It really brings back memories, for sure. Robot battles were definitely awesome, but we’re waiting for the day when they’ll robots fight people. What’s exciting about a robot smashing another robot?

Actually, maybe they should bring the robot battle shows back, but they’re secretly just people inside metal suits. They can hack and slash at each other until one of the “bots” loses a limb. Okay, that idea would only work, like, once. But it still be pretty cool to watch that one time, wouldn’t it?
