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.
Have fun with your trains
QUOTE: Originally posted by Grandson Of Sam 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!

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 I think going from Survivor to doing beer jingles is a major step up.[:D] Jeff Hmmm..not sure if he would win any awards for those jingles [:)] Russell
