I love that!

[David_Telesha]

Yeah...this came out a long time ago...its stupid..

I know full well how to have fun and laugh at myself when warranted, but "jerk" and "nutsville"? I don't think so...

[MAbruce]

Already being discussed here:

I like a good laugh, and don't mind having a little fun poked at us, but this one is over the top. Like their beer, it was done in poor taste.

[PennsyHoosier]

LOL! Lighten up, guys. If we can't laugh at ourselves, then others will do it for us. I laughed and laughed when I heard it. My wife laughed even more. [(-D][(-D][(-D][(-D]

Dave, you nailed it,LMAO.

They've got us nailed, don't they?
But, if you can't laugh at yourself a little, you're just too serious

OK "jerk", go back to "nutsville" and laugh....

Is that funny now? No....

(Just using their words to make a point, not making a flame)

Takes too long to download on dial-up--at least my computer. Just have to catch it on TV, or something.
Bud Lite commercial, you say? God, that stuff is FOUL!

There was an episode of Third Rock From the Sun. The leader of the group, *** (John Lithgow - ?), for some reason, takes up model railroading. They portray him as withdrawn, lonely, weird, etc. I remember him sitting there with an engineer's cap on ..... getting really upset because he can't find some little detail part to complete his scene on the railroad. It was really funny.

I admit this is somewhat of a peculiar hobby. I do not know anyone else that does it. Strangers that see my little layout are interested only because it is so intense ..... there is a lot going on in a small place ...... with DCC switchers with sound running very close to each other in a small area. Their interest doesn't usually last that long. And that's ok with me.

I have that mutated gene in me that draws me to all things railroads and railroading.

I've been called "Elmer Fudd" when I go out duck hunting.

I've been called a "gun nut" when i spend time at the range.

Life is too short to worry about what other people think. Laugh it off.

Greg (and I think I'll get one of those ice cold Bud's out of the fridge right now!)

[trainfan1221]

You know, I used to like those commercials...

[Nataraj]

haven't heard them lately.................

[canazar]

Well it cracked me up. I am just impressed the took the time to spoof us.

Nutsville? Yeah I am the mayor so it doesnt bother me. Heaven knows I have been called alot worse in my travels [:D]

The newest one is "Mr Hot Dog Eating Contest Guy".

[jockellis]

G,day, Y'all,
You know what politicians say to newspaper reporters? "I don't care what you say about me, just spell my name right." That's the same thing we should be thinking about the commercial. Personally, I'll drink any beer someone else buys. I don't have the money for a second hobby.

[dmcclendon]

I thought it was funny. I'm used to the weird looks. But come Christmas they can't wait for Mr Trainnut to set the layout up so they can come look at my minature town Whoo- Whoo. Budweiser has funny commercials I love the one about "Mr Footlong Hotdog Vendor"

[Trainnut484]

That commercial is not too bad. I like some of the other "Real Men of Genius" Bud commercials.

BUT, to go from "Eye of the Tiger" to "Real Men of Genius" is quite a downturn. The guy who sings on those commercials is David Bickler, former lead singer of Survivor, who won a grammy for Eye of the Tiger back in 1982. However, doing radio jingles is nothing new for David Bickler since did a Kentucky Fried Chicken commercial back in 1973.

So, while watching Rocky III, open up sone Budweiser to go with your KFC and ya got it made[:p][:D]

Take care,

Russell

Belittle my hobby, insult my intelligence, then try to sell me your product.

Right!

Pass me a Miller, please.

That's funny. I saved it, but I can't play it.[:(!][:(!][:(!][:(!][:(!][:(!]

EDIt- I got it to work in REAL PLAYER.

[Medina1128]

I don't drink Bud Light... don't drink ANY light beer for that matter.. but I DID crack up when I played it (so did my wife and family members). I don't have to buy BUD to laugh at ourselves. I remember the funny looks we get when we show up for a show/convention/swap meet from the non-modelers. We don't look as weird as "Trekkies", but then grown men wearing engineers' caps, overalls and scarves is pretty over the top to most people. The last engineer I saw dressed like that was Smiley Burnette on Petticoat Junction.

I consider this ad to be discusting.

I am morally opposed to Beer Drinking.

I think going from Survivor to doing beer jingles is a major step up.[:D]

Jeff

[Nataraj]

I still can't get over it [(-D] I don't drink, but it is FUNNY!! Now, if they only substituted bud lite for digitrax..... [:I]

[SilverSpike]

Yea, funny one there! [:o)]

I have never bought that brand of beer, but they sure do have a hugh marketing department, huh!

Okay, finally saw it--cute. Didn't upset me or anything (though I think the current Bacardi "MOJITO" commercial is a lot better).
Of course, EVERYONE knows that Beer was invented on New Years Eve, by the ancient Sumerians in the year 6000BC. Of course it took the Germans, Austrians, Danes, Dutch, Czechs and Belgians to turn brewing into an Art Form. Beleive me, America has still got a LOT of catching up to do.
But what bothers me is that a good old German name like BUDWEISER could somehow screw the formula up so BADLY! Hasn't anyone told them that the word "BIER" does NOT translate into English as "Sandpaper?"

Hi guys...kinda new here obviously...couldn't resist adding to this thread.

A friend of mine works in the radio business at a station that has played the real Bud Lite spots and he doesn't think this was a "real" commercial... He mentioned that there are two guys who have a smaller ad agency that impressed Budweiser with the humorous commercials but that they also make what you could call spoofs of their own work for the sake of comedy. He said they were on the syndicated "Bob And Tom" morning show about a month ago with some other funny stuff they had done.

So for those of you who didn't find it funny, it sounds like it isn't part of a national campaign or anything. If you are wondering if I thought it was funny, check out where I live...I might even run for mayor of my town. And Jeff ~ LOL on the step up from Survivor to commercials!

Grammies ain't nuthin'. They're almost as common as a$$holes. Heck, MILLI VANILLI won a Grammy...[:p] LOL

Jeff
P.S. But I DO understand your point.[:D]

[Dave Vollmer]

I thought it was funny...

But I don't drink Bud "beers"... because I like beer!
