Commercials are a necessary evil when it comes to sports, but beer commercials in particular appear to be attached to the hip. They’re the type of family member you dread arriving, but when they’re on, they’re hilarious.
Predictably, Anheuser-Busch is coming out for the Super Bowl this year, and with reboots/long-gestating sequels being all the rage in Hollywood, their Bud Light products are getting in on the trend, with a supernatural ad starring Spuds McKenzie, who appeared in Bud ads from 1987-90.
With nostalgia earning big bucks at the box office…sequels to Trainspotting, Blade Runner, and Jumanji are all due out later this year…it would make sense if our favorite beer mascots likewise repeated this trend…
“Wazzup” Guys-Budweiser
Bud has a strong arsenal of characters to go with, perhaps enough to create a Marvel-style commercial universe.
