It may sound like a new Judd Apatow movie (or an old Woody Allen one), but it’s actually a commercial for beer — specifically Bud Light, made by the brewery that claims “the beer you choose says a lot about you.” The ad never aired on TV, and careful viewers will note that all the sexual devices are blurred and the strong language bleeped. It was made to be consumed, as beer is, by people over the age of 21. But, like beer, it is readily available if you know where to look. And again like beer, it can make you laugh. (Go ahead and watch it a couple times. We’ll wait.)
The ad, which quietly appeared in February as part of a viral campaign, has attracted little notice thus far, but because it comes from a highly respected American brand, it seems to mark some kind of cultural tipping point, where pornography has soaked so far into the fabric of mainstream culture that it’s no longer seen as a stain. The phenomenon, known as porn creep, is also evident in ads from such companies as American Apparel, Carl’s Jr. and Quiznos. This is a family website, so you can Google those ads on your own.
What do you read while drinking a Bud?
or is it bud beer is as bad as cheap porn???
Never touch the stuff “the beer you choose says a lot about you.”
Give me Belgian beer.

does that make you belgian? 😛
I wont drink it either. I would much rather drink a beer that actually tastes good.
#2 Try Chimay Beer? Pretty good.
Chimay beer is about the only think I like from the religious loonies.
Ha! Laugh-out-loud funny!
But who buys porno mags these days – ARPA invented the Internet to get around this problem.
Please whack off responsibly
J/P=?
BUD LIGHT! I can drink two Guinness and piss a better beer. Real men drink real beer.
Definitely one of the funniest Bud Commercials I have ever seen.
Boulevard (Kansas City) > Any AB product.
Isn’t Bud owned by the Belgian company InBev now? Does that make it Belgian my proxy?
Reminds me of the movie “clerks” 🙂

budweiser = inbev
therefore
bud light = tripel
bad logic in there somewhere! 🙂
I don’t drink Bud. It tastes horrible.
Gimme a good Hefe-Weizen or Stout/Porter any day.
I think bud is a sissy beer, we should a drink (insert manly beer that you drink) beer instead.
There I think I got most of the beer trolls covered now.
So… it is “porno” or “porn” now?
As a non drinker I have to ask the question. Why is one of the world’s most popular beers so bad? Would it be more your own snobbery than actual taste?
Wait a second. The ad never aired on TV? Like hell, it didn’t!
This commercial was shown on TV as one of the ads during this past Super Bowl, on February 1. I videotaped six full hours of video so I could fast-forward through the game in order to watch the commercials, and this was one of them!
That ad is NOTHING compared to this one

“but because it comes from a highly respected American brand”
Ummmmm…. Mass consumed does not mean highly respected.
How is Budweiser (the US version at least) a highly respected brand?
