Perfectly sums up my attitude towards Budweiser.

Never knew much about their beer side but we do hang out with and deal with their Clydesdale hitches when they are stables down for events that coincide with our horse shows. Dealing with their team and the horses for me is enough that I'd forgive the rest of the company for anything. Amazing team and amazing animals that are very very well cared for. Thats all I really give tow hoots about.

I don't really give much of a damn about their ad choices. I don't drink their beer because its flavor is what I imagine fermented mule piss to taste like.

Where is the Bud Tran?

It's not an American company anymore. Sold to InBev in 2008. Budweiser will never get me back as a customer. I'll drink Mexican beer brands before I'd drink that again

If that's all it takes for you I guess. They've already shown you where their values lie, and it's not represented by those pandering visuals.

Apologies and I will buy Bud occasionally. Till then, they are dead to me.

True. And their ad people who had been successful creating iconic ads have mostly aged out only to be replaced by woke DEI people who mistake virtue signaling with the main goal of the advertising biz...selling product.

Can't remember which year it was but I recall being highly critical of a Superbowl ad about Detroit, Eminem and the Chevy Volt. The EV was the product but that was not even the focus of the ad. Yeah, how well did that work out for them? LOL.

We don't even drink any beer anymore since we aren't at the lake. The Hubs was an avid original Bud drinker for decades. He's not coming back, nor do I think many of the millions of disaffected former customers.

But returning to their roots using the Clydesdale is a step in the right direction to reestablish brand recognition, IMO.

Imagine the liberal outrage at Budweiser once they find out that the band used to perform in front of a gigantic Confederate Flag.

I can see all the liberal noise ring marking folks sitting around saying ... "ok... we need to brig back all the liberal hayseed hicks, how do we do that? I know...

Eagle ... check
Clydesdale ...check
Rural setting ... check
Two crusty looking country dudes wearing trucker hats... check"

Sorry - What did this ad have to say really? I'm not buying their pandering.

Well, it would be hard to top Wassup?

Double kudos for working the name of the brand into the catchphrase That's advertising genius right there.

If they were being honest with themselves, they would have gone this route.

When I was a teen in the late 70s, would go to dive bars for nickel beer and pool. There were just a handful of songs always playing, over and over. Freebird was one of them, especially long form. Good times.

These are just advertisements with the sole purpose of getting to buy their product. If that one stunt (you know which one) had worked, then their ads would lean more that way, and they wouldn't have created this one. Don't let an ad sway you.
