Bud Light - crappy beer, funny commercial



This funny Bud Light Commercial made me laugh. It's much better than those annoying new Budweiser Commercials with the crown implanted everywhere and the even more annoying music.

I get a kick out of the whole premise of beer commercials, though. Very rarely do they refer to the actual product, and it's pretty easy to see why. Most of the time, it's a "macro brew" trying to transfer the image of their crappy product onto something funny so you'll buy it. Budweiser is probably the best example - their beer is awful, but maybe if they make you laugh you'll pick up a 30 pack. Yea, right.

I'm not slamming all of the "macro brews," though. I do like Miller Light, but good old-fashioned Yuengling Lager, a Pennsylvania brew made at America's oldest brewery. I don't notice any funny commercials by that company; probably because their beer kicks ass and they don't need to resort to such tactics.
