Bud Light's flatlining reputation has seen the once-favorite beer in America banished entirely from a bar in Buffalo, New York - because 'no one' is buying it.
Hilarious footage captured the moment the watering hole gave up with the brand, as a bartender untwisted the formerly iconic blue logo tap and replaced it with Miller Lite.
'My local bar finally gave up and is removing Bud Light completely from the bar permanently,' said YouTube personality and podcaster Daniel Keem, who posted the video to social media.
The clip, which has been viewed almost nine million times in two days, sees Keem laughing hysterically as he celebrates how 'Bud Light is so boycotted that it's being removed.'
'Holy s*** that's crazy,' he added, questioning the bartender: 'Literally nobody is ordering Bud anymore?' to which she responds: 'No.'
The move comes after the beer giant's disastrous collaboration with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney in April, which sparked a financially devastating boycott that has seen parent-company Anheuser-Busch lose $27 billion in market cap.
Notably, the bartender opted to swap the Bud Light tap with Miller Lite, which is owned by Anheuser-Busch rival Molson Coors.
While anecdotal, the footage is telling over the dramatic fallout from the Dylan Mulvaney marketing, as the once-beloved Bud Light has lost its top spot as America's favorite beer.
While Modelo snatched the title almost two months ago, other competitors such as Peroni, Coors and Blue Moon, owned by Molson Coors, have also benefited.
When the company overtook Bud Light, the falling brand saw a 22.8 percent fall in sales compared the same time the year before, in the four weeks ending May 28.
It was the first time Bud Light wasn't the best-selling beer in the country since 2001.

Despite all of this carnage in the work force at Anheuser-Busch, CEO Brendan Whitworth promised CBS This Morning that AB was “ committed to LGBTQ values “.
Bud is not going to recover a dollar in sales until the Board fires CEO Wentworth. He should have been gone 2 months ago
Even if they fired Wentworth I’m not sure bud light would ever recover. Every time I see a bud light can I think of that hideous creature known as Dylan and vice versa. AB should just kill off that brand.
What is really amusing is that Bud Lite is really crappy fizzy water beer with alcohol in it. Many stopped drinking it and went to Modelo, Yuengling, etc. who brew good beer. Regardless of what Bud Lite does they are not coming back to poor tasting fizzy water beer.

He won’t stop digging the hole.
All one needs to know is Whitworth is a CIA spook. How does that happen? Resigned, you say? Hardly. CIA has tenticles.
“What is really amusing is that Bud Lite is really crappy fizzy water beer with alcohol in it.”
Totally irrelevant to the situation. Has nothing to do with what’s inside the container. This is about a huge brand having been permanently abandoned by tens of millions of customers.
The 2nd quarter financials are supposed to be filed with the SEC on August 3rd. It should make interesting reading, although the full extent of this fiasco will not be visible until the 3rd quarter report.
Some stock pickers have been saying “buy!”. I think they are being paid off by hedge funds seeking to unload before August 3.
“He won’t stop digging the hole. “
He can’t and that goes to show you the effectiveness of the DECADES of PC inculcation to listen to and fear defying the voice from the ether. He doesn’t and can’t think for himself. He’s a Bot.
The reason I say we will REALLY see bad numbers in 3rd quarter, is because beer has a shelf life of a few months, and beer which was bought by distributors in April will soon expire. And Bud has said they will buy back unsold beer.

How? Unrepentant Nazi intelligence officers are brought into the US via Paperclip and given free rein to organize the CIA. That thinking and culture permeate, and become the basis, of all the activity that subsequently takes place. One of the key aspects is the belief in a resurrecting global fascism. A 4th Reich if you will.
How does one do that? By recruiting and grooming candidates as spooks and lending them to private industry as corporate officers to ensure that they are going along with the program. Others to run for public office. Others as media figures.
It's Gleichschaltung. It's fun!
And you're soaking in it.
i think 2q results were due friday
anyone seen them?
Kill the company. InBev in all of its’brands. Beer drinkers will fund all of the other beer companies in their expansion. Fewer jobs will be lost than expected. Still cannot make or actually distribute beer by computer.
Some fifteen years ago we had a favorite bar/grill that was across the street from a craft brewery.
The receipts were itemized as to what beer the customers ordered.
Butt Light showed up on the receipts as “House Swill.”
All those people lose their jobs due to the twisted sick ceo and board members. Yet they still have their jobs....
“ Totally irrelevant to the situation. Has nothing to do with what’s inside the container.”
The falling sales have nothing to do with what’s inside the container. What matters about what’s inside the container is that a wide swath of former customers were so out of habit. They picked a brand and stuck with it. Now that they are experiencing some different beers, even if the entire Mulvaney fiasco faded away, a percentage of those beer drinkers have now been exposed to other beers and will never EVER come back. In the brutal market-share business of macro-breweries this is very serious.
