“...used silly ads and sometimes frat-boyish humor...”
Having fun and laughing is definitely a holdover from the evil days of heteronormativity. Now, we must all, if you are white, sit around on an ash pile in sackcloth in a state of deep repentance and regret.

“Does anyone think marketers, in general, are taking there jobs too seriously?”
That made me laugh, but it is so true. The little mental midgets think their job is to transform society into their sick little image.
I think they take marketing as a mind game - how many times do you see a commercial and find yourself wondering what the Hell the product is?
Bud Lite is a near tasteless, rice based brew about as interesting as spiked seltzer. Given that, it’s really only good for getting a buzz. If this marketing whiz wanted to rebrand something an actual beer might have been a better starting point.
I haven’t had a drink in a long time but AB products were always at the bottom of my list.
Shame we won’t see beer commercials like this one anymore

I drink Yuengling { both Lager and Black and Tan } as my regular beers but any dark beer is good by me.
I never drink pilsner and never, ever drink any light beer.
As far as advertising is concerned, the marketing departments of any consumer product, know that older potential customers are not their market {with the exception of drugs}.
Concur. In the mid 70s, Schlitz was the best selling beer. When I was deployed in 1976, if you wanted an American beer in Europe- it was Schlitz. Then Schlitz changed how it made its beer to a "new" process and advertised it very heavily. The whole brand tanked very very fast. Within just a few years, no one was drinking Schlitz.
I now drink Miller Highlife. A few years ago, Miller was going to kill the brand until someone said, "Lets give it one more shot, but to do that we have to make it like we did in 1903 (When we started making it.)." It has done very well since then. I've even got my very high brow brother in law to liking it.
Actually it makes sense. A man pretending to be a woman hawking urine pretending to be beer.
Queer Beer
I had to go to wally world yesterday.
Just for the hell of it, I cruised thru the beer department.
Bud, bud light, busch, busch light, michelob, michelob light and corona were stacked to the ceiling.
All other brands were sold out.
The stacks of crap in the center aisle were to the ceiling with the aforementioned beers.
All others were either sold out or down to the last few cases.

He was great in Band of Brothers.
I’d rather watch Spuds 24 hours a day, than Dylan for 10 seconds.
Seems like a good time for Bush to rename it’s company.
That’s what corporations do when they have come under
fire. “We’ll just change the name of the company. They’ll
never know.
I suggest: Analhauser-Butch
Yuengling Lager Lite isn’t bad at all.
Yuengling is a big Trump supporter.
I tried a case of it a few years ago.
After the first one, the only way I could finish the other 23 bottles was by mixing it, half and half, with Black and Tan.
I just don't like light beer, regardless of the label.
I'll take the extra calories for the flavor {but I had to cut way back on 'Cookies and Cream' ice cream}.
