Amy Schumer and Seth Rogan's Bud Light ads axed
Fox News ^ | 10/31/2016 | Staff

Anheuser-Busch InBev has pulled the plug on its Bud Light ads featuring comedians Amy Schumer and Seth Rogen. According to Adweek, the beer giant pulled the ads "a little earlier than expected" after its beer sales declined in the third quarter. The Schumer-Rogen ads launched earlier this year before the Super Bowl and played off of the presidential election featuring a mock Bud Light political party. One of the advertisements dubbed "Equal Pay" received a lot of negative attention online. In the video, the comedians denounced the gender wage gap by saying Bud Light "costs the same, whether you're a dude or a lady." Comments on the video have since been disabled on YouTube....

Amy is kind of cute, in a chubby sort of way...

Or a Ben Rothlisberger sort of way...huh?

And he ain't funny, either...although he's made a few funny plays, and I ain't talking Broadway, either.

Good riddance to the foul-mouthed skank and they can get rid of that faggot meat-flipping Doogie Houser crap, too.

I'd tell him to take his Heineken and shove it, but he'd probably like that...so.

Heineken is even dumber with the flamer Doogie Howser as the spokesman.

Geeze, you would think they should know who REALLY drinks their product?

*Heineken is even dumber with the flamer Doogie Howser as the spokesman.*

Heineken withdrew sponsorship (as did Anheuser-Bush and Samuel Adams) for the St. Patrick’s Day Parades in NYC and Boston because the AOH - the world’s oldest and largest Catholic Confraternity - refused to allow the fags to march under their own queer flag.

They never said homos could not march, they just asked that the fags would stay in the closet that one day, and not spoil the day dedicated to the Patron of Ireland with their political agenda.

I would like to see them try that crap in a muslim day parade...

IMHO, it IS a STUPID commercial.

I thought the ads were kind of funny and nonpartisan; but having two partisan losers in the commercials cannot have helped things. Too bad, so sad...

I wonder what Madison Ave. marketing wizard decided that the odd-looking, definitely not-funny, and potty-mouthed Schumer would make a good spokes-person for anything

It’s not the Mad Ave people; it’s the Marketing VP for AB who made that decision. She needs firing.

This must be the same marketing genius that thought up “Gay Days” at the Talledega 500.

So Anheuser-Busch goes PC, hires a bimbo who hates Trump, sales go down and they cancel an ad early. Cause-effect relationship anyone...?

I’m sure all those Hillary supporters are dedicated Bud drinkers.

"Bud Light is now focusing its efforts on its sponsorship of Lady Gaga's "Dive Bar" tour and its brand partnership with the NFL."

Rut-roh.

These idiots do not realize that millenials now care less for sports and beer. Only old liberals follow this crap. So if conservatives stop watching sports, what will be left of ESPN, NFL and beer commercials?

They have been had, completely baited and neutralized

Redirecting our beer money to Yuengling

For those who don't know, the owners of Yuengling are Trump supporters and are being boycotted by some liberals.

I just switched from Bud to Yuengling today. Bought a 24 bottle case and right now I am sipping Pennsylvania's finest.

Miller Lite was capitalizing on it by saying they were a non partisan beer - insinuating that Bud is left wing.
