Bud Light Hitchhiker Carries Axe
(No Ratings Yet)
Loading ...Bud Light is carried by axe-wielding and chainsaw-holding hitchhikers in this year’s Super Bowl TV ad for Anheuser-Busch.
In what could be a shot from The Twilight Zone a couple drive through the dusk, the woman reading her map. “What are you doing?”, she asks as he slows down. “Shall we pick him up? He has Bud Light!”, he says. “He has an axe!”, she says. “But he has Bud Light!” “And an axe!” “I’m sure there’s a reason for it…”
The hitchhiker appears to have a reason for carrying an axe. But he’s not too sure about picking up the chain-saw-carrying hitchhiker.

You’ve got a potential drink-drive situation, and most everyone seems to think it’s funny. Can’t anyone project a little and imagine what would happen if the driver starts drinking the beer he so obviously craves. Would it be quite so funny if he caused a fatal accident?
Paul Tilley, Mark Gross, Dan Fietsam, Laddie Peterson, Matt Arnold Will St. Clair should be ashamed of themselves. Impressionable children watch American football. Anneuser-Busch and its agency should be more responsible.
Who is the hottie in the ad?
Anyone?
