Fuck, I hate this ad so much

It’s another forgettable manifesto type thing, but it makes me shudder like a dog with the runs.
Some all of the moments are dreadfully unimaginative, and even if they weren’t they’re portrayed with such anodyne, clichéd ‘talent’ that you just want to spray each scene with a hose filled with concentrated hydrochloric acid.
Look! They found a piano in the street! That happens to me ALL THE FUCKING TIME!!1!!1!
Look! He’s doing karaoke! How did they think up that one???/!!1!!
Look! they all clambered into a photo booth! Like pricks!
Look! They’re on a rooftop! Everything that happens on a rooftop IS SO FUCKING FUN!
Beyond all that I just don’t buy that that any one of these dildos drinks Budweiser, particularly the girls.
Maybe Bud will never again scale the heights of Waaassssssuuuupppp, but there’s no need to get it this wrong.
I like when he points back as he goes on stage. “Why you guys…”
the visuals are ok. The music and VO is wrist-sliting terrible.
Even ambient sounds would be farrrrrr better.
Kill it, before it lays eggs!
This Copy/VO on “Moments” is my favorite one it is so much better:

I rarely drink alcohol yet sometimes I could share a beer but not with the people from the commercial… awkward moment
Moments only happen to extraordinarily good looking people, apparently
This could be a Nokia ad, it’s that bad
Hadn’t seen that Bud ad till now. Unfortunately, it triggered the moment when I shit in my pants.
Bet it sailed through research though. Which means it is officially “good.”
Creatively, is this a shit, shit ad? Yes.
Commercially, will it shift bottles of bud?
Possibly.
It’s cheese on toast, but screams “Bud is American, and it’s not agressively boozy”. That’s balm to the ears of many a casual beer consumer.
Just by changing the VO, you could run it anywhere in Europe, North America and Australasia. Client win! Alas.
I’m sick of Carpe Diem briefs. And VOs that say things are always better when they’re shared. Fuck off. Just because you say it, doesn’t mean it’s true. I spend my life avoiding other people because, on the whole, they’re massive bellends.
steakandcheese, this is an egg.
“moments can happen at anytime”.
Thank you for that piece of insight.
Until now i had been unaware.
Ben,
i’ve never commented on this blog before.
But i just wanted to say
I actually really like this TV commercial and i think you need to reconsider the offensive, and perhaps jealous approach you have taken.
It’s refreshing (no pun intended).
It captures the spirit of what we all want out of life – to spend time with our friends and meet new people. (And do interesting things)
It’s a catchy piece of music and it looks really nice.
I think it’s got a clever line on the end about grabbing some buds, which i take to mean both friends, and grab some Bud(weisers)!!
It’s very clever the more i think about it.
the next time i am in the shop and wanting to purchase some beers, I will definitely consider buying some Budweiser beer as a direct result of seeing this commercial. Obviously there will be other things that will influence my decision, such as the price and various offers, but i think Budweiser have done an excellent job in selling a lifestyle choice of which i find both aspirational and achievable.
Thanks
“moments don’t care what time it is” WTF?
btw, where is vinny warren? how can he miss this? his wassup alert crashed?
oh dear. moments. sounds and feels like an ad for sanitary napkins. and why is some dude talking nonsense throughout?
i think they were going for this. i didn’t do this but i loved it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKWdtyX_FX4&feature=relmfu
I’m sorry, but can someone tell me if G.Dercoe is being sarcastic or not?
