So sorry, but are we going back to the 50's or what's going on??

I feel bad for DDB Chicago. This surely feels like a client-driven idea. But still. Very bad

I just threw up all over my Bud.

Oh dear god.
I really didnt want to write a stinker for DDB even after 4-5 of these really mindless TVCs. But this one just pushed it too bloody far. These are not ads, these are AVs. And the worst is that rather than bury these in the ground forever, they have actually uploaded it on AOTW for the entire ad community to ridicule them.

Corporate AVs. Here's how the credits should go.

Yep. I think the same, but maybe they've put it all here to show this comments to the client.

Budweiser wishes bartenders cared this freaking much about their beer. Fortunately, they don't.

Yep. That's the first thing I think about when I order a beer. They got me. Spot on.

This is the most awful beer ad I have seen in my life.

People will now associate 'Bud' with 'boring'
