Milwaukee\'s Best Light Ads--subtext?
 

Now that Milwaukee's Best Light has hitched its horse to the poker boom, through its Jesus Ferguson ads and the poker game going on in one of the a-giant-can-of-beer-falls-on-the-non-manly-guy series of ads, I hope I can post about this in the poker forum without a moderator having an aneurism...

So I watched all of the can-of-beer-fall's-on-the-guy ads. Funny stuff. But what I hand't noticed before is its the same five guys in each ad (sometimes only three of them are in an add, but its always a subset of the same five guys) and in each ad its a different one of the group that get's smashed by the can for not being manly. Also in each ad at least one guy, and sometimes all of the guys except the smashee, are drinking milwaukee's best light.

For some reason that just seems to add another level of humor to the adds. Like after the second guy got smashed wouldn't they have caught on and stopped doing anything pansy like?

But really it made me wonder what the message is. Here's a group of men who are friends and hang out together regularly and all drink milwaukee's best light. And each one of them in turn gets smashed by a giant can for being unmanly...

so. um. Is the message I'm supposed to take away from this is that guys who get together and drink Milwaukee's Best Light all a bunch of pansies?

Gee sign me up for some Milwaukee's Best Light please! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

this is the great Milwaukee's Best paradox.

And btw, this is the worst beer ever.

Re: Milwaukee\'s Best Light Ads--subtext?
 

Alot of people confuse this beer with Old Milwaukee Light, the greatest beer in America.

Re: Milwaukee\'s Best Light Ads--subtext?
 

To be a nit Milwaukee's Best Ice is the worst beer ever.

My head just exploded.

Good post.

This is an extremely important theory that I believe is worth exploring more deeply.


The bird-watchers amongst us may wish to chime-in with their thoughts.


I'm not exactly the manliest of men.
I hate pro-wrestling...but dig many artsy, foreign-flims.


Also - fwiw, I don't even drink beer because just half-a-can makes me really sleepy (I can drink other alcohol without getting sleepy for some reason).

And I have a cute, little cat who sits in my lap and purrs and I have been known to make really ridiculous voices when saying, "you're the cutest little kitty. yes you are. yes you are."



To date, I have yet to have a gigantic beer-can fall on top of me (nor have I had any near-misses where I needed to successfully dodge any gigantic beer cans falling from the sky)

I have to ask. In all of your ramblings here, did you even make a point? Seriously, did you even say ANYTHING?

Re: Milwaukee\'s Best Light Ads--subtext?
 

no.

Wow. This thread... awesome. I have a cute little dog and I think about that everytime the dog one comes one. Probably one of the best posts by MBob ever, especially the bird part.
