Who would drink this beer?

[Fai Mao]

Must admit I am an accidental beer snob because I spent so many years overseas.

San Miguel
Singha
Carlsberg
Tsingtao
Chang’s

[Salman]

Beer and water whose only selling point ever was price.

The new ad is not without humor, but not the sort of thing that will motivate people to buy it.

[Telepathic Intruder]

It's going to take a lot more than that to get this OUT OF MY HEAD!!!

[rellic]

It is crap beer, only slick advertising sold it.
I drink a lot of beer. I can’t afford the stuff I really like on a regular basis, so I drink something cheaper.
None of it is Budweiser.

[Indy Pendance]

It’s done, like Edsel or New Coke.

[xoxox]

they lie to you until you believe them.

[SaveFerris]

Hopefully no one - but Garth Brooks and Mr. Taylor Swift jumped on board for damage control

I'm sure they'd like to blame it on Marketing - you can bet the Board approved of this going forward with the public - Sooooo.....



Lurkers can click on the images and copy links to share with others

Bingo. That includes almost every sphere—
Especially politics.

[SaveFerris]

They must think there’s a few men that dream of a guy in suds with that. Must have been marketing to Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama and Mayor Pete Buttagig.

Bad idea: hiring a marketing VP who hates your brand
Worse idea: hiring a dude in a dress promote your brand
Even Worse idea: hiring a comedian to rehabilitate your brand

Surprised the board has not changed the leadership team.

Bring back Spuds MacKenzie! The original party animal.... who turned out to be a female named Evie portraying a male.

[joshua c]

the commercial is lame

like their beer

[CFW]

I’m so glad the pervert’s 15 minutes of fame are finally over. I no longer see him in news articles at any sites.

I wouldn’t drink a Bud-light even if someone paid me.

[Telepathic Intruder]

They’ve since fired the marketing VP who came up with the whole “let’s change Bud Light’s image to be more inclusive” scheme. But she must have gotten the green light from higher up. So that’s what they really believe.

[know.your.why]

Someone please dig up the investigative reports that prove AH was illegally pressured by the Biden administration to to have Dylan Mulvaney as their queer mascot in exchange for special favors.

[SaveFerris]

Yep, they were on board with it. Something that big and that controversial does not take place in a vacuum without Senior Management knowing it is about to happen.

So, they GAVE APPROVAL.

They need to be an ongoing proof that there WILL be pushback against their Godless Reprobate agendas.

[SaveFerris]

Same for Major League Baseball:

[Rastus]

I’ve only heard about this guy (Shane Gillis) because a co-worker watched his recent Netflix special and was laughing about Gillis making jokes about people jumping to their deaths on 9/11. Great get, Budweiser.

Wow........
