Commercial Fun

Patton Patton

While driving to a lunch meeting today, I heard a commercial that could have, under different circumstances, caused me to drive off into a ditch.

Luckily, in Houston, there aren't a lot of ditches next to major 6 lane divided urban surface roads, so I was safe.

I can't (yet) find an MP3 of the ad, and I don't know if it's playing in any markets outside of Texas, but I do know, from my search for it, that a lot of other people are searching for that MP3, too. As a side note, I also find that there's apparently a subculture of (I'm sure fine and upstanding) folks who trade the audio files for Bud Light commercials, but never mind that.

Located at the Houstonist, the words, at least, for the latest installment in Bud Light's "Real Men of Genius" series:

Bud Light Presents Real Men of Genius.

Real Men of Genius

Today we salute you Mr. Way Too Proud of Texas Guy.

Mr. Way Too Proud of Texas Guy!

Men from lesser states might know their state's capital, but you? You know you're state's bird, tree and even reptile.

Love that horny toad.

You display your pride with your Lone Star tattoo, "Native Texan" bumper sticker, and contempt for any state that doesn't start with "Tex" and end with "as."

That spells Texas.

Sure, there are 49 other states in the Union, but they are smaller, wussier, and the people talk funny.

Yankee wussies.

So crack open a nice cold Bud Light, oh lover of the Lone Star state. Because all that flag waving must have made you thirsty.

A couple of years ago, the guys who make the Real Men of Genius commercials (including the v/o guy and the singer--the original singer for Survivor, incidentally) took their show on the road. They did an add for Dallas's sports radio station, The Ticket, that was full of inside jokes. It was pretty clear that these guys could write these things in their sleep. Which is not to say that they aren't still funny.

I should probably add that, unfortunately for Budweiser, Mr. Way Too Proud of Texas Guy only drinks Shiner.

Or Lone Star, now that I think about it.

And, apropos John's comment: once that MP3 is found, the server on which it's located is at risk of melting.

Thanks! I was so excited when I found it and believe me, it was NOT easy. And seeing that others are happy too makes it even more worthwhile!
