Anheiser-Busch has apparently given Michelob the commercial B-team. This spot has all of the hallmarks of almost being good, without actually being any good.
I mean did you see the look in the psycho’s eyes before he tackled that blonde? It looked like he broke her back! How many doofuses do you think went out and played a half-time game of touch football on the front lawn and wound up breaking a few bones?
Bud Light really needs to dial it a back a notch: they’re apparently sucking all of the creativity out of everyone else’s commercials, not to mention their own ads throughout the rest of the year.
Wait, does Budweiser even have any commercials that don’t air during the Super Bowl?
The truly insidious thing about their marketing team is that they are using their powers for pure evil. Would anyone drink this swill if it weren’t for their brilliant ads?
Okay, we were about to pass judgment on this as being stupid, long, loud, and pointless. Plus it’s for an energy drink, which kind of matches that description too.
But there’s something about this ridiculous ad that just grows on you, like a super-long hair growing out of that mole on your shoulder that you can’t bring yourself to pluck. You just want to see how far it can go!
So yeah, this commercial should have been about fourteen minutes longer and ended up with the complete destruction of the Earth.
So we kind of liked this one to start off with, but then the more we think about it the more awful the feeling we get in the pit of our stomach. It’s kind of funny, we guess? But then it just seems like the Dad is borderline verbally abusive, especially when you see the look of fear and apprehension on the face of the daughter when she finally gets up the courage to ask for some nuts.
Then again we really love nuts too, so…
Richard Dean Anderson reprises his star-marking role, but not his mullet, in this hilarious Mastercard ad from 2006.
This was probably almost the last year they could have done this and still count on having an audience that mostly knew who the hell he was.
Does anyone now know what this commercial is referring too anymore? Anyone?
Bud Light promotes drinking in the office. If you replace the people in this spot with the CareerBuilder monkeys, you wouldn’t even know this was a commercial for beer.
We like to picture the Bud Light ad team just throwing ideas onto a white board and then wondering which ones to actually shoot for the big game. Then someone, no doubt a Bud Light in hand, gets the bright idea to just make them all.
Wow, this one is just, wow. Give us a minute.
This has to be one of Budweiser’s all time best commercials ever. Besides being a beautiful, heartwarming story told in sixty seconds, it’s an example of the reason why Budweiser is one of the top-selling beers in America. Say what you will about the quality of the draft itself, their marketing department understands that rather than just selling beer, they are selling an image.
Wow, this commercial is so utterly terrible that we wish it was five minutes longer. It’s wonderfully ironic how a commercial for a product intended to help your sales efforts can be so tremendously bad.
Can anyone come up with a few more synonyms for “awful”? We’re running out and may need more to describe a few of the remaining 2007 ads.
Some basketball dude signs one guy’s shoe and another guy’s face. We think the joke is supposed to be that the Shoe Guy values his shoe more than the autograph, and… yeah, we agree with that prioritization.
We’d be pretty pissed if some tall guy just strolled over and started signing our clothes, too.
