Remember the Budweiser ad a few years back that had a guy in a minimart discover that he doesn't have enough money for a six pack or toilet paper? That was a big hit with the "crap-my-pants" crowd.
On average, the beer companies waste millions each year on insulting ads that are not funny and give positive proof that using their product will make you an idiot. Think about car ads where the find print ALWAYS says something like:"filmed on a closed course by professional drivers, do not attempt."
The art of intelligently and comically attracting customers has gone bye-bye. Now they want to "dunb us down" to their level. Well, not this guy, no how, no way! Like the saying goes: "If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and smells like a duck....it's a duck!"
Most ads get my BS alarm chiming like a church bell on Sunday!
