Bud Light has been branded 'desperate' after releasing a new advert with Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce in a bid to win back customers.
The embattled beer giant released a new 15-second spot on Sunday showing Kelce cracking open Bud Light cans and aggressively grunting with several other men.

Notice what they aren’t trying?
sexy babes, bikinis, hot chicks, the things beer-drinking men like in their beer ads.
I’m convinced now that Bud Light is run by people who despise women AND men.
Holy hannah. Kelce may have the IQ of a orangutan. And you want him to represent your product?
I doubt either are as stupid as the boomer comments on these threads.
Nobody wants the crappy diet beer sold to boomers who wanted to pretend they were still young. There are no consumers and no one wants to make and sell it. Its trash and its low margin.
No boomers, no crappy diet beer.
Just like I said when this all started, watch for other companies to pull the same things and sure enough others followed right down the same path.
Not just other diet beers but other brands that have made their money being part of the mind memes of being a boomer like Harley Davidson.
Bad companies and their products should die if they cant find a new market for consumers.
What Im trying to say is that if your enemy navigates his ship onto a reef and is sinking, its entirely up to you if you wish to dance and celebrate but dont delude yourself into believing you had anything to do with it. Thats like kids in the back seat pretending that their parents driving down the highway are winning a race, its all in their mind and they are not in control.
If your drowning enemy finds someone to take them aboard, that ship is not necessarily your enemy either.
When there are no boomers, there is no need for boomer trash. All of these companies face losing 100% of their value regardless of what they once were or they must try to find a way to minimize the loss. If it means that they once had 100% of the market and can only hold on to 10%, then so be it.
Gens X and Z have no real say in any of this.
Everything must now switch to the world as defined by the mind of the Millennial and the boomers dont really have any say anymore either as they will lose political control at the end of election night 2024 and as their numbers dwindle they pass the torch due to sheer numbers in the population by 2030.
Millennials generally dont want real beer and if the few who do want organic kumquat guava ultralight IPA then thats what everyone gets.
I've suggested they hire swimmer Riley Gaines, with the tagline "Real Beer for Real people" They wouldn't do that one either.
“From the article:
“’Sorry there Bud. The only thing that would be close to bringing your base customers back is an unconditional apology and a renounce of woke culture!’ said one viewer.”
And there you have it in a nutshell.”
Bud is either so virtuous they would risk their bottom line by appeasing a few transvestites, or they are accountable to their business and share holders by focusing on their bottom line.
They already picked the former, and any apology or renouncement from them would be insincere. As the latest noble woke folk their path is clear. Go down in flames with a smile hero.
Won't help. The majority of the public now considers BL to be tranny fluid, and thus want nothing whatsoever to do with it. Advertising works.
Doesn’t that sound ‘fratty and out of touch’?…asking for Alissa…
End the Bud Lite brand. Make a new beer that is a a close as you can get to Yuengling, call it something other than Yuengling, Bobs ya uncle…
That wouldn’t do it. At least not for anybody who understands that all apologies from the left are complete lies. An apology only matters if it represents true repentance and a willingness to not repeat the sin. Neither of those apply to the people running Anheuser-Busch
Boycott everyone and everything this stupid woman hating company uses to promote their products.
The NFL is all about faggotry too
198,000 subscribers still! lol
And still not an apology to be seen anywhere.
Stupid, immature marketing team..fire them all
But that isn't what is sinking Bud Light.
Bud Light's rapid sales decline is not the result of the gradual reduction of customers due to aging and demographics. The loss of sales is directly correlated with the damage to the brand image AB did by launching a dumb marketing campaign, and worse yet the brand marketing manager trashing their own customer base on a video in a weak attempt by her to look better.
The whole situation is a textbook example of corporate bungling.
Budweiser’s Gay Ad Agency told Budweiser their ads needed more ‘hunks’ - - and there will be a casting couch to gauge the “grunting and moaning” of future hunks.
Desperate is an understatement.
Hey Bud, hire a PR firm with a few heterosexuals ... Try something different. Demand your ad agency look like America and not like members of a gay bathhouse.
🦅 got the smart Kelce.
The thing is with that is that as humans we can learn from others mistakes without having to repeat them.
“Bud” was called out and was “losing to boycott” when Molson Coors and Harley announced their rainbow affiliation nonsense. Despite seeing those companies get hit then Pantene, Gillette, Citi, and Adidas stepped into the pro fruit fight.
Either all these companies need to fire their entire executive staff or these companies did this intentionally.
They havent been fired. This means its not accidental which is what makes people point to blackrock, DEI, etc.
That means it was intentional and for investors, not consumers.
Consumers, X and Z are overall irrelevant. Numbers wise, the regular people of a large enough number and enough invested to be of any importance with investments are Boomers and then soon to be the Millennials.
Having said that, I dont think that the common investor saving a bit for retirement so much as those big enough to invest enough in the interests that control places like Blackrock are the investors of note.
Discussing anything beyond that as to who that actually is only tends to result in name calling and threads being pulled.
