Budweiser embraces freedom with a cameo from Bill Pullman and his epic speech
Bill Pullman reprises his iconic role from Independence Day, the 1996 film that reminded us what it felt like to have a president we didn’t feel ashamed of, and the epic penultimate speech he made before going and kicking a bunch of alien ass.
Poe sends in Budweiser’s latest commercial, which you can watch here;
For the first time in 25 years, Bill Pullman is back with a new speech to celebrate Independence Day. Watch now and #GoFourthAmerica.

Budweiser always comes through with hitting the high points of patriotism. They also do what corporations are apparently incapable of doing nowadays, and making something both sides can find palatable. You see, they posted this saying it’s in “support of vaccine access” (as an aside, who is against vaccine access?). Therefore the left and other Fauci-loving folks see this as a big F-U to the right. Meanwhile, the lack of masks, any direct mention of the vaccines or Saint Fauci, and the overtly patriotic tone of the message is seen by the right as righteous.
Really, not only is Bill Pullman’s performance excellent, but Budweiser and their advertising agency are on point. They’ve proven you can run a business without being a bunch of virtue signalling asshats that want to piss off half your customer base. Bravo!

Excellent!
Now I am ready for PT.
Well, damn, it’s been at least since the Bicentennial since I had a Bud… and I haven’t missed the inconsistent watered down character, since. OTOH, get it cold enough and it’ll flow just like “honeydew vine water”.
Back in the day, when the beechwood aging was discernible and returnable long neck bottles were as good as it got, it was pretty good beer.
What they have done to Michelob is unforgivable unless you like near-beer nuance. Then, you could just enhance tap water with some lemon juice.
For now, make mine a Heine! Just in case things get hot on the 4th there’s also a case of Yuengling in the barn fridge.
Bud always has the best ads, especially those lizards.
Right there wid ya, Tally, paragraph by paragraph. Never been a big fan of Buttwiper Beer, did like the Clydesdales tho. The local Buttwiper Distributor is a bigger di@k than any horse has and it took another group coming in to get us some decent beer to drink. And that took a lotta work. Lots of politics and smokey room dealings for Class VI Supplies down heah…been like that for years.
These business need to just leave the politics out of everything and just produce a quality product at a fair price and We, The People, will buy it. Go woke, go broke! Is Buttwiper even an American Company anymore?
Pass me over one of them Heinies…and a Yuengling. Trying to find a “gone poof” linky is hard, hot work.
Baxter Stowaway.
Guinness.
Yes! Beer & Stout.
With a shot of Jameson’s on the side! It’s hard to go wrong with a brewery that’s older than the USA.
It is amazing that a foreign owner can understand what it takes to be patriotic on an American holiday…guess those Belgium’s liked being liberated!
Yeah I whole heartedly agree with the part about Michelob! All you can find is that Ultra stuff now, and it is like having sex in a canoe!
I’ve done the canoe thing….
No worse than the back seat of a 1970 Mustang coupe…..
Still something to remember !!!
At least in the Mustang you had a hump and a tunnel to work with. If that wasn’t enough, the hood was long and usually warm.
Sir, you are obviously doing it wrong. It can’t be as bad as Mich.
Gimme a Yvengling any day, that a Sam Adams, Fat Tire or any good regional brewery. IMHO Heine is what you see Metrosexuals drinking to look cool.
I don’t think I have had a Bud in over 30 years. I once kept a case of Bud in my trunk for over a year. Just as delicious as the day it went into the trunk.
Used to test my customers. We were a proud purveyor of Budweiser products and I would give them a shot of Bud, one of Mich., and one of Busch and ask them to tell which was which. Never had a winner.
I might have a Bud or two tonight just because I like the commercial—schmaltzy but enjoyable.
wow…that was lame. And crypto-woke.
Dippissar is laughing thinking his side has pulled one over on us.
But he’s an idiot so fah qim
“Veggie and meat burgers”
Tomatoes, onions, pickles, french fries, oh hell yes 🙂
Cool.
Of course all you TAHers know that beer makes one smart because it made Bud wiser.
,so if you can’t have a Budweiser, tough Schlitz!!
Of Coors you can!
Chris Matthews’ leg is Yuengling…
Ah, jeez, now you’ve killed it for me. I used to like Yuengling. What did I ever do to you?
A real Blue Ribbon comment there, Canuck! Pabst time we quit with the puns? Don’t Fall on a Staff!
Or lager behind.
What a bunch of Hamms.
It’s been a Blatz, tho it’s getting old, Milwaukee, as we Stroh thru these comments, Old Style. Good thing there wasn’t just one Lone Star. Thank yuh, Thank yuh veruh much! We’ll be here all week, don’t forget to tip the veal and try the Waitress!
Ah, so many beers, so little time. “Man’s reach should exceed his grasp, or what’s a bartender for?”.
I’ll take this one….

Thats awesome.
Made my day!
OKFuckers, I didn’t tear up with happiness at that either.
I love Black Rifle Coffee, well at least I love the videos they produce.
That caused some serious stirring in my nether region. Ms Thang may get lucky after all. Gunz pr0n at its finest!
F*** you, I’m not crying. You’re the one f**king crying.
We are an unruly lot, We Americans.
In a contest of human wills, those addicted to freedom can not be bested.
May God continue to bless these States United, long live the Republic!
WOW !!!!
Made my Grunt Style hat stand up on the back of my head !!!!!
Nice!
OK I teared up at “basic hygiene” because it’s funny and I was starting to laugh, but NOT and I repeat NOT because I’m sick and tired of all the bullshit and because I truly miss what we all have become and what this country has become and I’m saddened for a life where a lot of us don’t have to look over our shoulders and we could call ourselves proud Americans and we stood tall and weren’t cowering under the threat of political correctness and international weakness and we should be firm and fair and the leader of this planet as was given by God himself, nah, I just pray my kids can grow up strong and proud and with the guts and guns and glory I didn’t have (well I took care of part of that) and in a time like the 1980s when movies like Top Gun made us raise our fists and cheer and we didn’t all turn gay, and it was all OK. And things were funny and life was good. Oh well, at least I’m sober now and I have a few pieces of weapontry years ago, I’d have only dreamed about and about 45,000 freedom seeds with to enjoy myself AND I just bought some decent quantity of safe, for the most part, ground based sparkly, legal in my area (with maybe a *couple aerial thingies) 4th of July Boom Booms to play with on Monday.
God Bless America and may we get past this nasty head cold we seem to have acquired of late and I pray we never have to order Rosetta Stone or Babbel for Russian or Chinese. There’s a reason most of the population of Earth speaks English as a second language. Because ‘MURICA!!! and God. Jesus is on OUR side… “Don’t make me come back down there, understand?!?!? 😀
Awesome ad for shit beer. Drink local!
Unfortunately as a military aviation buff, the film, “Independence Day” set a new precedent for major Hollywood films.
Most of the military flying sequences were done with Computer-generated imagery (CGI) and most of the military aircraft the ground were mock-ups.
Slick G,
Distant Early Warning… about ELKO, NEVADA.
That POW*MIA chapter held a meeting a week ago
about 4th of July parade planning,
but NO updates since.
There IS a parade on July 3 in nearby Spring Creek.
However, the American Legion is doing flag and ceremony duties.
Not the POW*MIA nor the VFW post.
(Due to being the shamed phony enablers they are?)
So, it appears the Elko POW*MIA Awareness Ass
will need to APPLY to participate in the parade,
and get settled mid pack,
among the horses, the tractor pull champion, and Girl Scouts.
Photos next week. Or not.
I added this video due to the cheesy aviation CGI.
Enjoy your 4th of July weekend, everyone.
Well, I’ve always kind of liked this Budweiser ad… and I don’t particularly care for Bud beer. I prefer Guiness Stout… but that’s just me.
Budweiser ad for the Superbowl 2002:

What the heck are you guys talking about?
Budlight is the greatest light beer in the world!
Dude, really?
The only things worse than Bud Light are the other mega-brewers attempts at light beer, to wit:
Lite beer from Miller
Coors Light
You really need to up your game.
The majority of empty cans I see tossed along the road are Budlight.
They don’t even want the nickel back.
BUD LIGHT was originally to be named “Sex in a Canoe” because it’s next to fucking WATER!
“Go forth”.
I once toured a Bud brewery and tried some Bud Light from a tun which was not yet pasteurized. Ohmigawd…. it rivaled Hoegarten and was wonderful. Sadly, that last pasteurization step ruins the flavor or an otherwise nice little beer.
Cut off the very end about “supporting vaccine access” and I am all in. That is a clump of Clydesdale dump. Tell me anywhere folks who want it don’t have access to this vaccine. For free. With cash and other bribes.
For being pretty anti-woke, I might even get me a 6-pack of Bud this weekend. As much as we knock Bud, it hands-down beats all these citrus-y IPA’s. True, they have flavor, but not a good flavor. If I wanted a lemonade or orange Fanta, that’s what I’d order.
I’ll take a Guinness any day and twice on Sundays. Sam Adams Boston Lager when a place doesn’t have Guinness, rare, but it still happens. Of course, got to have an ice-cold Miller Lite after mowing the lawn on a hot summer day, and an Old Style on Father’s Day for my dad. Based on the constant recommends here, I am going to try a Yuengling this weekend.
A Lady with my same taste choices. And you wonder why we love you? I never met a Cold Beer I wouldn’t drink…or a ration of fresh squoozed lemon juice. There’s only 3 kinds of Cold Beer. You gotz your canned, your bottled, and your kegged. If I don’t have in inventory what your little heart and taste buds require, I can just about walk to the Class VI Supplies Store as quick as I can drive. Might want to drive Big Red tho, I can put more inventory in his bed than I can tote or load in the wheeled barrow.
In addition to quality, taste, and the history of the Brewer, I pick and choose brands depending on who the local distributor is. As commented above, The Big Guy here is as big a horse’s azz as the Clydesdale has and treats his employees AND his customers like crap. I make it a point to educate other consumers on him when I’m in the Cold Beer section of the K Roger. It seems to be working ’cause he has less shelf space now than he had in years past. Tee Hee. The “Other Guy” is constantly expanding his space and has doubled his hired help over the last year. Heh Heh Full disclosure, I’m as shy and reserved in a store as I am here. 😛
“That is a clump of Clydesdale dump.” Damn, I love poetry! 😆😆😆
“I am going to try a Yuengling this weekend.”
Soon as he read that, ol’ Poe knew that would be like catnip to the Gun Bunny. If that ol’ Cracker shows up on your doorstep feeling frisky this weekend, you have only yourself to blame, Mom.
🤪🤪🤪
Spot on Ol’ Poe. In my mind Imma hammer down, North Bound, done put Chat’nooga in my rearview and heading Up North…Put the word out on the street.
If need be, I’ll be driving all night, my hands wet on the wheel…
If only I could find some Oly or Rainier.
I once spent a week in lovely Taipei. Spent the night in one bar where every can of beer they gave me was a different brand. I drank Hamm’s, Olympia, Schlitz, Rheingold, and at least a dozen other brands. In the morning the bartender (she spoke excellent English) bought me an omelet (egg foo yung, actually) from a street vendor for breakfast. Ah, the mysterious and exotic East.
They only had American beers, since this was back in the day when the US was still the world’s beer superpower.
What about some Carling Black Label ?
Was a big favorite at Fort Campbell back in the ’60’s…
Hey Mabel…..
From the shores of Lake Cochituate.
My first “beer of mass consumption”. The price was right, although the color was sometimes off.
National Bohemian (AKA Natty Boh) and its sibling Colt 45.
“From the land of pleasant living”.
Narragansett. “nasty gansett”
Too bad they didn’t work the horses into it.
You know, animal rights….
Those were -illegal- aliens whose asses we kicked.
-illegal- aliens.
The sequel was ok, but not great. (They come back for another try. We say “wrong planet”.) They are making a third one.
Little late to the thread, but I loved this and I’ll be drinking Budweiser!
Meanwhile, at Pabst Blue Ribbon:
https://www.delish.com/food-news/a36888566/pbr-1776-july-fourth-beers/?utm_medium=social-media&utm_campaign=socialflowFBDEL&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwAR1MppIirsr3w74oe20gLazRR8QfUOWpZfahBV–VWGyakl6Iu8vFubxB64
A 1,776 pack? That’s a ten year supply (at least) at my local. They can close the factory now and still have enough to last until the last living redneck says “Enough!!”.
Joint Base Andrews sells a 30 pack of PBR for $17.99. People knock it as “low brow brew”, but an ice cold PBR pulled from a tub of ice goes down great after completing the landscaping at Stately Stone Manor.
They also sell National Bohemian for $17.99 a 30 pack. Hack gave it a shot. Bad career move. Not only did it give Hack a severe headache, Hack started growing a handlebar mustache and one of his eyeballs fell out. They should put that warning on the side of every can of Natty Bo.
Welcome to Baltimore.
It could have been worse…
“You’ll get your eye shot out, Kid.”
Damn! I remember when Natty Bo was a decent beer, at least in the late 60s. If I had to choose there would be no hesitation about PBR.
IIRC, there used to be a large Carling Black Label beer brewery right along the BW Parkway, back when BWI was called Friendship.
I don’t care for PBR, but it’s better than no beer at all. I can’t say the same for “Natty Boh”. I did give it a fair test, though; both sober and not-so-sober.
Still won’t forget the Bud Light commercial campaign from 2016 tthat had Seth Rogan and that bag of meat, Amy “Leno Chin” Schumer, commenting about “unequal” pay between myn and womyn.
“Cold bottle of Stroh’s, ol’ chap.”
“Alex! You better be drinking your water!”
