Joe Rogan, a popular podcast host, ridiculed Anheuser-Busch for their “dumbest commercial of all time” released in response to the company’s billions of dollars lost due to their partnership with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney.
The ad featured one of Budweiser’s famous Clydesdale horses on a journey from New York City to the Grand Canyon as a narrator delivered a patriotic message. Criticized for trying to do damage control after major backlash, Rogan found the beer giant’s attempt at recovery downright funny. He mockingly stated: “It’s like the f—ing dumbest, pro-America rah rah—like we don’t know who you really are now?”.
“It’s like the f—ing dumbest, pro-America rah rah [ad],” he mocked. “Like, we don’t know who you really are now?” he quipped.
Rogan noted how Bud Light’s Marketing VP had admitted to wanting to transform the brand’s “fratty” image with inclusivity.
“And so they’re gonna change that with this crazy attention wh— on ‘day 365 of being a woman,’” Rogan mocked, referring to Mulvaney.
Rogan and his guest called the whole ordeal “lunacy.”
“It’s so stupid and cliche. It f—–g — it hurts my feelings, it’s so dumb,” Rogan mocked. “This is a company in deep s–t, bro.”
Take a look for yourself and let us know what you think in the comments below. I don’t know if this back peddling will work. The company hasn’t been the same since it sold out years back.
