Bud Light Commercials: Disapprove; NFL Week 9 Picks: Approve

by Mr. T | November 6, 2009 at 1:03 p.m.


After watching eight weeks of football, I've had enough. No, I'm not talking about the games themselves (which I wish lasted all year long) or the amount of pathetic franchises stepping foot on the field. I'm talking about the Bud Light "Tailgate Approved" advertising campaign that has been forced upon us during numerous commercials breaks. No one cares about these awful combination ideas like the grooler or foozie. The pitchman is annoying as fuck and the commercials just aren't funny. What happened to the humorous Bud Light commercials of yesteryear? If they ran these during the Super Bowl, they'd be taking much more flack for such a mediocre effort.

Who were the ad wizards who came out with this sack of shit campaign, you ask? A little advertising agency named Cannonball, out of St Louis. If you go to their website, you'll see their TV reel, which includes previous Bud Light campaigns. They did the one where a stripper pole moonlighted as a fireman's pole in a guy's apartment. That was humorous. The "Tailgate Approved" campaign that's shoved down our throat is nothing like that. For the love of God, fire the hack that green-lighted this dogshit and let's move on. Jimmy, go fuck yourself!!

Survivor Pick of the Week:

ATLANTA over Washington
Things are getting lean in the world of Survivor as most pools should be down to 25% of the original entrants at this point. Arizona disappointed some people last week, but not Mr. T, as I went with America's team. There are some juicy high spreads this week to lead you in a certain direction, but given what teams you've already chosen, you might find yourself up shit's creek without a paddle. I'll look to the Falcons this week, who gladly return home after a couple of tough road games. Matt Ryan's numbers show he's a much better player on home turf. Despite extra time to prepare with the bye week, I don't expect Washington's offense to look any more productive than what we've seen in previous weeks. Soon enough Dan Snyder will cast out Jim Zorn, who hopefully doesn't end up as ashamed as this guy.

All Bud Light Should Taste Like Bud Light Golden Wheat (i.e. Not Like Piss)

by Chef Evan | October 22, 2009 at 9:39 a.m.
Editor's Note: Every week our food and beer guru Chef Evan reviews a new beer worth checking out. Click here for the full archive.

O.K., I'm not a big fan of Bud Light. I don't often drink it or buy it. I actually go out of the way to avoid buying Anheuser Busch or MillerCoors products partially because I like to support smaller breweries, partially because most of their beer tastes like it has already been drunk, pissed out, and then re-bottled.

When asked to do a review of the brand new Bud Light Golden Wheat, I reluctantly bought my 12-pack, drank all of them at once, did a little researching, and discovered some interesting facts.

Bud Light Golden Wheat bought out all the commercials on "Saturday Night Live" last weekend. The Anheuser Busch sponsorship was the first of its kind on SNL probably because all the people who would be watching TV at midnight on Saturday are out drinking better beer.  Keep Reading »

Why You Shouldn't Buy Porn with Your Bud Light

This advertisement is, of course, not being shown on TV, but it is all over the Internet, which is pretty much the same thing these days right?

Step Up Your BBQ This Weekend with a Belgian Grimbergen

by AG | May 21, 2009 at 4:17 p.m.
With Memorial Day upon us, I'm going to go out on a limb and assume you'll be drinking beer this weekend... a lot of beer. Yes, Bud Lights are great for the beach and late night strip flip cup tournaments, but for dinner? You might as well drink piss in a red plastic keg cup. Instead of slugging a 30-pack to your Memorial Day BBQ, step your game up a notch and go for something a bit classier that will not only compliment your meal (yes, burgers and hot dogs), but will also impress your buddies.

Drink This, Not That!
While the world of Belgian beer may seem like a labyrinth of unfamiliar flavors and hardcore alcohol percentages that will knock you on your ass (it is), the phenomenal brew Grimbergen Abbey Dubbel is relatively tame in comparison to some and very drinkable. Made in the Trappist style, a.k.a. the original style that monks use (hence "Abbey" in the title), this "dubbel," or double, is amber in color and has a rich flavor that's mildly hop-y and has notes of spice and even chocolate.  Keep Reading »

Who Will Get the Most Ads Banned from this Year's Super Bowl?

by AG | January 29, 2009 at 2:37 p.m.
We're just a couple days away from the Super Bowl, and we've already seen the first commercials officially banned by NBC. While we wait for more banned to leak out, we thought we'd play homage to PETA's hot vegetarians sucking on asparagus and carrots by looking back at banned ads from Super Bowls past. Bud Light and GoDaddy are particularly prolific, and like PETA, it seems that they've created many of these for the sole purpose of getting banned. Of course, they still find their ways to YouTube. Here's some of our favorites.

Re: Chain Restaurants

Speaking of chain restaurants...I went to TGIFriday's last night in Times Square (pathetic, I know, but I was waiting for a friend) and paid $8.50 for a Bud Light draft. It was so watered down it tasted like piss. Where...  Keep Reading »
