This is a great, great campaign. Always makes me laugh. Even almost makes me want to drink a Bud Light when I get a craving for fizzy mineral water.

I have about 50 or so of those, including the original 'Real American Heroes', which was changed after 9-11. Some guy must have recorded them off of xm radio or something.

The real me of genius fad is getting kind of old. I still think the ones with Charlton Heston in them were better.
-"I took the bud light..."
-"HE TOOK...THE BUD LIGHT!!!!!"

I think the "dude" series will take over. I agree they are getting old, but that's only natural. Great series.
Love the "dude" stuff.

I don't think the dude stuff will have a very long shelf life. Similar to the WHAZZZUUUUUP?!?! campaign.
Plus it's TV vs. radio ads. The TV versions of the real men of genius weren't very good, IMO.

++. Though whazzup did last a bit longer than I expected it to.
What was the campaign before whazzup? Was it "I love you man!"?

This is not a Bud Light commercial, but there is a Cingular commercial we have in No Illinois that is funny because it's so well acted. The guy delivers flowers, and then the lady tells him it's her anniversary. He does this funny thing with his face, and then tells her how much she owes. She tells him it's not fair that she has to pay for flowers someone sent her, and then he says "You know what's not fair? Asthma. Mmm-k. I'm a good runner. Don't have the wind".
The mannerisms of this guy are so subtle yet give the thing life and humor beyond what reading the script would do.
