Bud Light "Real Men of Genius" radio commercials

Post Reply New Topic

Has anyone heard these on the radio?

The premise of each commercial is:

Someone with a weird but intriguing occupation or hobby is spotlighted. The announcer (accompanied by a backup singer) describes what is entailed in the hobby or occupation, and the backup singer gives a 2-3 word commentary after each of the announcer's sentences.

Example:

Announcer: Today, we salute Mr. Overzealous Foul Ball Catcher
Backup Singer: Mr. Overzealous Foul Ball Catcher
Announcer: You're standing behind home plate, well out of reach of any foul balls. But you don't care, you're going for it.
Backup Singer: That ball's mine!
Announcer: You don't care who stands in your way--hot dog vendors, the elderly, infants...you're going after the ball like a diesel-powered combine.
Backup Singer: Out of my way!
Announcer: So why pay for a souvenir when you can fight for one.
Backup Singer: Mr. Overzealous Foul Ball Catcher.

All the time. They make me laugh.

At the beginning of each one, before describing the weird guy and what he does, the announcer says "Bud Light Presents... Real American Heroes".


Anheuser-Busch always has the best commercials.... radio or tv.

We had these on the TV and radio about 5 years ago.

The first one was Mr Foot-long Hotdog Inventor:

Then there were a couple of others that weren't as popular; Mr. Wrecking Ball Operator and Mr Skimpy Wrestling Costume Designer.

They were quite funny.

I usually only hear them on the radio during the summer. The commercial that i'm not looking forward to hearing is the Irving Cruise In To Win commercial, o boy do they annoy me.

I hate these advertisements.

These are my favorite ads.

I loath them too. I always change the TV or radio when they come on.

They're actually one of the few ads these days that I can stand.
