Well I guess a commercial can't sell-out, but that is besides the point. Let's pretend it can. Have y'all heard the new Budwieser "Real Men of Genius" radio commercial? Mr. Carb counter? Bud-light sales are going down because Miller Lite and Michelob Ultra has less carbs. Carb counting is the thing right now, so instead of producing a product people want, Bud would rather ridicule the people who buy the other beer. It is so obvious. I don't think those commercials were that great to begin with, and it kind of bugged me that they changed "Real American Hero" to "Real Men of Genius" after 9/11, but this just really annoys me. But that just might be because I have to hear 100 freakin times a day on the radio station that I am forced to listen to.
Well...I see the entire series as satire. The carb-watching thing is a fad now so it is open for satire. That is how I look at it anyway.
I just heard Mr. huge pocket knie inventor this morning...classic stuff... "Rest assured, you won't be stuck in the woods without a toothpick...or a pair of tweezers..."
i liked the conversion of radio wing man to tv wing man. both were good. wing dog is okay too. some of the ones i didn't like -- mr. too much cologne wearer, mr. deli meat slicer. the other ones were all pretty funny i thought.
Wing Man (and Wing Dog, of course) are a different beer company (Coor's Light?) than the Real Men of Genius (Budweiser).
There were two websites that had all the comercials on them but they are gone now. Does anybody have them saved? I really wanted to hear, Mr. multi-colored sweater wearer. I wouldn't be caught dead in that sweater but it sure looks good on you.
Actually, the Budweiser and Michelob brands are both owned and made by Anheuser-Busch; so they have that niche covered by Michelob Ultra, which is selling a sh-tload btw. Wouldn't make too much sense for AB to bring out a competing product under the Bud label.
My favorite was the Mr. Giant Taco Salad Inventor.... "Only you can make a salad that has 4,000 calories" "Sure it's health food....it's a salad isn't it?"
Ground beef, refried beans, cheese, guacamole, sour cream, and if there's any room, a few shreds of lettuce...
no way for real? that's a rip off. the concept is so similar. oh well... but she's towing an' anchor, a junior investment banker... hahaha i just dug deep and thought of some other ones I used to like back when i listened to radio. bowling shoe giver outer fortune cookie fortune write giant foam finger maker (i loved this one... something like, though your team may be stuck in seventh place, you'll always make them feel like number 1) there's also ones that were so so foot long hot dog maker/inventor? pro wrestling costume designer (making people look manly while wearing a thong) bad toupee wearer male cheerleader were there more than these? i'm sure they were regionalized too.
The radio commercials: http://diis.net/go/?id=media,,budlight These commercials are hilarious and so true..."Mr Too much cologne wearer"
There is a new one out (at least, I think its new), Mr. Pro Sports Heckler Guy They say those that can't play, coach. Apparently, those who can't coach, sit 30 rows back, shirtless, shouting obscenities. Background: That's right mother******. Thanks to you, our team is armed with game winning tips, like: "catch the ball", and "throw it", "you stink", "that sucks", "what a bunch of losers" Not just cat calls, but subtle, pyschological ploys to prod your team to victory. Background: Reverse pyschology So here's to you, oh Sultan of Shouting, because while there may be no "I" in team, thanks to you, there is always an "F" and a "U".
Mr. way too much cologne wearer, everywhere is splish splash, everywhere is splish splash... mr. way too much cologne wearerrrrrrr
