Buttwiper, I mean, Budweiser used a red 1989 IROC in one of their ads. I wonder if that was what they were going for in Mike's post here:

then click on 2nd Quarter, then Bud Light: Fist Bump.

Caught it and saw the IROC "cameo". Bud/DDB Chicago did a pretty good job again this year with all their spots. They will probably end up on top again this year along with Coca-Cola.

These were the best commercials IMHO.

I am sorry to say that, but this is the worst commercial I've ever seen

I saw a red thirdgen Camaro get killed in the last episode of Las Vegas. The car was used in a bank robbery and hit a bull.

None of the ads were really amazing, but as I mentioned Bud had a few spots that were pretty good. Not great, but good.

Here's USA Today's Top 10 list:

Budweiser Crabs worship Bud ice chest.



Budweiser Stray dog and the Clydesdales.



Bud Light Rock, Paper, Scissors game for beer.



Doritos Guy in car, girl show Doritos qualities.



Bud Light Immigrants learn to ask for Bud Light.



Bud Light Wedding shortened by auctioneer



Bud Light Ape loses out on beer while posing.



FedEx FedEx truck on the moon.



Snickers Mechanics enjoy candy bar.



Bud Light Scary hitcher gets ride for Bud Light.





I didn't care for the FedEx ad and I thought the Snickers ad was lame. The Doritos commercial was pretty good and is the one submitted by a husband and wife team as part of a contest. Supposedly it was filmed for only $12.

As usual, if Bud would spend half as much on their beer as they do on their commercials, it might taste better. They always have great commercials but the beer still tastes bad.
Hay + water + horse = Budweiser

LOL. Glad to see the third gens are still on TV.

I think the GM suicidal robot was pretty funny. But heard it was getting a lot of flack.

easiest way to do it that i can think of on a pc is to pause the video where you want it, then hit the ~print screen~ key on your keyboard. this will take a screen shot of whatever is currently on your screen, go into a program like paint, hit CTRL+V (or paste), then crop it and save it.
