Bud Light spends too much on advertising again

Yesterday I was watching the Super Bowl ads on Youtube and holy shit, Bud Light paid a lot of money to remind people that they can still buy shitty beer.

In at least six commercials, people treated Bud Light like it was liquid gold mixed with the cure for sadness. In one commercial a guy gets his friend to play paper rock scissors for the last Bud Light, but instead he throws a rock at his face and takes the shitty beer. Another guy got an auctioneer to ruin a guy's wedding so he could drink shitty beer sooner.

What I learned from these commercials is that apparently a lot of people are poor and can't just go to the store and buy their own cheap, shitty beer, and instead have to hurt their friends to get it for free.

Sometimes TV makes me sad.

(work, and frozen boogers.)

If a friend of mine hit a guy with a rock so he could drink some bad beer, I'd have to pull him aside.

"Hey buddy, are things going ok at work? You just hit that guy with a rock for a Bud Light. That's worth maybe, maybe two dollars. You still have a job, right?"
And he'd start holding back tears and say, "Bud Light makes the pain go away."

Come to think of it, though, I think every character in a Bud Light commercial must be unemployed, because that's the only way someone could love shitty beer so much. Think about that next time you're watching one of the seventy-two Bud Light commercials currently airing on TV right now.
