Reviewed today: Budweiser: Party
In our previous review of a Budweiser television commercial, we stated that cynical.com
does not support the lizard series of commercials. Our position has changed, because
the commercials have improved. The improvement can be summed up in one word: ferret.
Most notably, we are referring to the series of radio commercials featuring the two lizards
and the ferret. For some reason, that stupid ferret making those squeaking noises gets
us every time. In the particular spot we've referenced above, the ferret is having a party
and Louie can't believe that he's got so many lady friends to invite.
But of course that's not the only great spot to come out of this campaign. There was the
trio singing Take me out to the ball game which one verse sung just by the ferret.
And other amusing commercials. These are great.
Rating: 30 seconds. We actually get upset if we tune to one of these
commercials and miss the beginning.
Conclusion: Buy Budweiser.
