That's some good shizzy.
Once every few years, a completely random ad campaign of pure brilliance comes along. I'd like to take a moment to belatedly celebrate the extensive Budweiser Bud Light "Real Men of Genius" (formerly known as "Real American Heroes") radio and television commercial campaign.
Whoever thought to drag the former lead singer of Survivor ("Eye of the Tiger", baby) out of retirement for these goofy-ass ads should be given a medal... or a lapdance... or something.
That's some good shizzy.
Some of my faves from the campaign are:
- Mr. Really Bad Toupee Wearer
- Mr. Footlong Hotdog Inventor
- Mr. Chinese Food Delivery Guy
- Mr. Fortune Cookie Fortune Writer
- Mr. Company Computer Guy
- Mr. Centerfold Retoucher
And yes, while I love hot dogs, happen to be Chinese, work with computers, and enjoy centerfolds, I do not, in fact, owe an bias toward toupees. I have a healthy head of hair. Really.
