Superbowl Bud/Clydsdales commercial where little LOUD Donkey...

[tibbiit]

A superbowl commercial... goes like this

The little donkey dreams, plans and practices to become a member of the Clydesdale elite wagon team(ster).
He goes for his try out... the clydesdales want to know why he thinks he can join their team. He walks forward stoppin
in front of the intimidating huge behemouth horses and opens his mouth letting out the loudest screech right in the horses faces. The next scene is the donkey in the full rig walking in
tandem with the lead horse, pulling the big wagon.

What??? Symbolisim?
What was the message? Are the Busch bros signalling the need for the donkey/dems (support for dean lol?) to walk together with the elites?
or am i nuts making up this stuff hehe.

What was the commercial about?

1. a creepy ad - and it was way too long

[tibbiit]

2. I disagree with moving this post

(not that its important or makes a damn)
I saw the commercial as a possible message to the GOP from the corporate world that the donkey must be included in hauling the wagon of state.

3. I saw an allegory of the system over the little man

Then I took another hit off the bong.

:crazy:

[eek]

Born a Donkey :dem:
I thought it was cute, but then ,I love critters.
Those Clydesdales are so gorgeous.
And donkeys" Ach. Fantastic.

Anyway, the Born a Donkey spot (and others) are here:

BTW, Born a Donkey looks like an obvious slogan to co-opt, non?
needs must check with Bud to see whether they have merch to go along with that ad campaign!

Born a Donkey :dem:

4. I thought it was funny...

especially the part where he puts the "hair extensions" on his legs.

Symbolism... not so sure.

6. Hair extentions were cute, he was trying to look like THem/Repubs!

In the end he had to be himself.
funny to me they picked a donkey, why not a sheep, cow, mule?
Thanks for link to commercials.

7. Along these same lines..........

Did you notice that there were two spots that prominently featured chimps?

8. it was a commercial..

trying to sell beer...
the Clydesdales are associated with Bud...it wouldn't have made (as much) sense to have a non-equine type animal want to be a clydesdale...

trying to see a political statement in this commercial is a ridiculous stretch (IMO)
