I was happy to see the shout out to the Clydesdales in a couple of other commercials (for instance, the promo for The Voice).
During the SB Budweiser posted a livecam of the Clydes enjoying themselves at a superbowl party… it was pretty cute… and they opted for the Dilly Dilly campaign… which if they’re smart they will incorporate the Clydes into Dilly Dilly
Maybe Tide could buy a team of Clydesdales. I suspect their pods taste better than the beer.

I was kinda hoping, since regular Budweiser sales have been flat, and only Bud Light is selling much, that they’d switch from the Clydesdales to a 6up or 8up team of hackneys or thoroughbreds. You know, a “lighter” breed. hehhehheh.
No, I do not play an advertising executive on TV.

They did do a new commercial - it just didn’t air during the annual brain battering festival.

Ha. In Canada we just traditionslly scorn all the watery American major brand beers 
though truthfully the national Canadian brands are not that great either.
Just goes to show, you can have the best marketing campaign in the world, but if your product tastes like your marketing campaign’s urine and is competing with a bunch of other products that are actually good, advertising will only get you so far.
@Equibrit I agree Bud beer sux, but I liked that ad!
WTH was Inbev thinking not running that & putting in the Dilly Dilly?
I actually like this commercial.
(I do not like any beer so I have no opinion on theirs versus any other, it is all gross to me.)
I like that commercial. Can you imagine being on that horse when he rears :eek:
Compared to their previous ads, that one didn’t make the grade. They filmed a bunch of horses moving and put them in different backgrounds. Add the cheesy voice-over and it’s a big disappointment.

And that they persist in docking their horses makes me vomit. Nearly as much as their pissy beer does.
Ack. Maybe I should play an advertising executive. That’s a terrible ad.
So much cheaper to make a commercial with one horse than with a team of harnessed Clydesdales, drivers, dogs. Now they can sell off the whole operation and just hire someone’s horse to do the commercial which makes me sad.
I love the original commercials but I am not a beer drinker so my opinion won’t matter to that company.
As for those who are making free with insults to other people’s taste, I am in the group that likes ice cold watery products. If I do drink a soda, I want the cup packed with ice so that the cola is freezing cold and diluted. What’s wrong with that? If you like a full-bodied beer, if you like beer warm, then buy the product you like and drink it the way you like it, but why feel so free to insult those who like Budweiser? I just don’t get the looking-down-your-nose attitude toward other people’s preferences and comparing it to human waste, unless you are an expert in the taste of urine and doing an actual taste test.
Perhaps Borax could do with an upgrade?

Huh? I must have missed that bit
Don’t think a 20 mule team can transition to a 8 horse hitch of clyds that easy.
Heavy draught horses are used by many beer companies who have retained them since they delivered the beer. There are no “rights”. None of them, however, went overboard with an impractical setup like Budweiser’s 8 horse hitch.
