I read an article last week about "The most interesting man in the world." Turns out he's some Jew from New York.

EDIT: language filters can get fucked. How is J.O.O blocked?

I think you mean Jew York.

The Most Interesting Man in the World has got to be the gayest ad campaign ever

1.) "I don't always drink..."--shut up, pudwacker
2.) It's like Bill Brasky-lite
3.) Anything that is reminiscent of Chuck Norris jokes (that is not Bill Brasky) is stupid
4.) Dos Equis?....what?

The only good beer ad campaigns in the history of the universe are

1.) President of Beers
2.) Dick

any Bud Lite ad can kill itself (lizards, beer house, book club, whatever). Also the MIller Light referee ad campaign was really gay too.

I like the XX commercials. They're just starting to wear out now IMO. Know when to quit.

Those "Here's to you Mr. [whatever]" with fake Bon Jovi singing in the background are so played out though.

Yeah the real men of genius thing? My nerdy freshman year roommate thought those were hilarious, probably because he was a nerd. That was like 8 years ago and they're still running those

The new Miller Lite commercials are lame. "Oh you don't care which light beer you get? When you're ready to take off your skirt, order a Miller Lite"

Reality: When you're ready to take off your skirt, DRINK SOME FUCKING WHISKEY, WOOOOOO!!!! :gunshots:

Those Mike's Hard Lemonade commercials that try and convince people that it's a manly drink are pretty awful and I don't see how that could even be a success.

Well look Prope, I'm a very manly man and I drink M'er Light

The fact they don't have any female based marketing is puzzling. Their marketing department must be full of dumbasses. Instead of trying to gain a share of a demographic they will never obtain they should be trying to expand on the one they have, which is like you said young girls. I'm sure if they had clever enough commercials they could be the drink of choice for 16 to 22 year old girls. Just film a commercial with the chick from Twilight or something.

It's particularly funny because girls are like 10x more picky what they drink than anyone. At the end of the day, most dudes will drink whatever beer's cheap and on tap. Girls will insist on specific brands of liquor and malt-sugar drinks. If you could get them jazzed about Mike's you'd have a lifetime drinker (or at least till they turn 27)

I guess maybe the idea is that if they market it to chicks that COMPLETELY shuts out the male demographic (as no self-respecting dude is going to drink something marketed as a "chick drink"), but if they try to get men into Mike's, it's not going to stop women from drinking it anyway because it tastes like lemonade, and that's the #1 requirement in girlie drinking.

Yeah exactly, I know a few girls that if they drink beer it's Miller Lite 95 percent of the time. Odd that beer companies don't bother with some female based marketing either. I know much more men drink beer than women but I think it's probably an untapped market.

they overlooked an important X-factor: It's impossible for drinking dudes to get drunk off drinking sugar drinks.

Girls can because they're girls

Yeah but it's already been labeled a chick/pansy drink and regardless of how much money they put into their ads it's not going to change that. Guys of all a sudden aren't going to buy a six pack of Mike's for the night. (I don't even know if anyone can down a whole six of that shit without getting sick the sweet taste is overwhelming) Or go to a bar and order a Mike's. Aside from when I was a teenager I've never seen dudes just drink Mike's by choice.

I do know of one guy who takes 2 or 3 mikes with him

Yeah most dude would need to down 6 of them (at least) to get drunk and I think you'd get sick if you did that.

Girls can drink 2 or 3 and get a buzz.

But I think we can agree that's still a very small percentage.

Calcium! Lime! Rust!

Yes but you're a jock so you're a manly man anyways. They're trying to say any ol' nerd can pick up a Miller Lite and be a badass. No way man, not on my watch.

They used to be great years ago, but jesus christ. Their ideas aren't even relatable or funny anymore, and they haven't strayed an inch away from the old formula.

I sure would love getting sassed by the fucking bartender, that's for sure. She's certainly earned the right to give me shit about what I want to drink, as a barmaid in a dipshit sports bar.

Beware the take no prisoners barkeep chick with piercings. It's always Jameson with them.

I'm all

jameson will earn you no quarter. I say we take all prisoners and make them drink jameson

I like the commercials where they compare the two different words. Like/love, old/new, less/more.

A few actually made me LOL.

"When you want marshmallow, graham cracker and chocolate you don't want sm'less, you want smore park ranger McLamovich."

"Heading to Old York? Say hi to my friend Stu. Stu Pidface."

That's not a fake Bon Jovi, that's the former lead singer of Survivor.
