Why does The Most Interesting Man In The World

[Ikonoklast]

Drink a shitty beer like Dos Equis?

He may be interesting, but his taste in beers is somewhat lacking.

Or, he's interesting, like in the way some homeless guys have some great life stories, but don't have a nickel to their names.

[Chan790]

1. For the same reason my roommate drinks moonshine, off-brand mezcal and rotgut whiskey?

It certainly makes him interesting. :eyes:

[Ikonoklast]

2. "Interesting"?

That combination in any order would make me delusional.

[Chan790]

26. Oh, he's batshit crazy too.

He just told me of his plan to bring back dueling. It'll thin the weaker of the human species out.

He also calls people "scalawag" and dreams of world conquest and sleeps on the floor and only wears plain white tees (as in he owns no shirts which are not plain white tees) which he hangs in the closet on hangers with great care and he goes to the Spanish language Mass even though he has a HS-level knowledge of Spanish.

[qwertyMike]

32. I want to meet your roommate n/t

[KamaAina]

3. Hey, at least it isn't Corona

:puke:

[Ikonoklast]

8. That's what people who are susceptible to ad campaigns drink.

Remember Zima?

[Malikshah]

12. Now now, many a goat practiced long and hard to balance on those bottles

so folks could have their corona...

[sasquatch]

38. *rimshot*

[bigwillq]

4. Who are you talking about here?

:shrug:

[Ikonoklast]

5. This guy, from the Dos Equis ad campaign.

Almost surreal.

[bigwillq]

6. I like Dos Equis.

It's not as bad as some.

[Ikonoklast]

7. Damning with faint praise.

[bigwillq]

9. Well, it's not my first choice.

But I had worse.

[Ikonoklast]

11. There is still hope in the world, then.

Life is far too short to drink crappy beer.

I suppose if it was between dying of thirst and drinking Dos Equis, well, I would probably...




Damn. That's a tough one.

[Xipe Totec]

14. So name your poison, so we can all snub you back...

:popcorn:

[Ikonoklast]

18. Great Lakes, Sam Adams, Newcastle, Guinness, Harp, Bass....

the list gets pretty long.

I'm currently drinking a schwarzbier my oldest son brewed. Delicious.

[Xipe Totec]

31. Sam Adams?

Pfft!

Too sweet!

And I'd rather have Ommegang Chocolate stout over Guiness.

:evilgrin:

[Ikonoklast]

42. Philistines abound.

Ahem.

There is no accounting for the tastes of some people.


Guinness will send some 'sales reps' over to re-educate you. Please co-operate with them, as they can be very 'persuasive' if you resist.

It's for your own good.

[madeline_con]

47. Maximilan Schell

[jobycom]

10. Well, he doesn't always drink beer, so maybe he's never discovered the really good ones.

And XX is better than most of the ones he'd just grab off the shelf at the local gas station.

[Ikonoklast]

13. I thought that was rather an odd premise for a commercial.

"I know very little about beer, because I don't hardly drink any, but when I do, I like swill."

[jobycom]

15. It's not swill. It's not like it's Bud, or some micro-brewed green chili beer from Taos

the latter being the absolute worst thing I've ever tasted, btw.

It's a decent beer, and the premise is funny. They don't want their hero to be a lush, so he only drinks occasionally.

[Ikonoklast]

20. No, they only want inexperienced palates.

If he actually was 'interesting', he would leave his comfort zone and experiment with different brews.

I say he's a boring old turd that just pours the closest thing he can reach down his throat.

[jobycom]

21. Um. You know he's an actor, right?

I mean, you don't walk up to James Earl Jones on the street and accuse him of turning to the Dark Side, do you?

[Ikonoklast]

22. He's a nice Jewish actor.

Not James Earl Jones, mind you. The "Interesting" guy.

James Earl Jones is Darth Vader.

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

[jobycom]

23. God you iz so stupid.

James Earl Jones is just an actor. The real Darth Vader wears the suit, and Jones just does his voice. And he drinks Dos Equis, too, because it is the beer that interesting people drink.

[Ikonoklast]

24. Now you went and did it.

The person you say is the 'real Darth Vader' is just like some guy playing Santa Claus at the mall. They hire some bum to play the part for a few bucks a day.

He probably drinks crappy alcoholic beverages, too.

The real Darth Vader, James Earl Jones, would have you banished to Hoth for saying he drinks Dos Equis.

Lies, the lot of them.

[jobycom]

25. Psshh.

The real Darth Vader could chop your fake Darth Vader into cauterized mincemeat and still enjoy a cool Dos Equis while the little pieces sizzled on the grill.

[Ikonoklast]

27. The real Darth Vader, James Earl Jones, would pinch the air out

the lungs of your phony pretender whilst cooling his thirst with a nice Bass Ale.

[jobycom]

30. Well, okay, even the real Darth Vader would prefer a Bass Ale, of course.

But your fake Vader voice wouldn't even have the glove to make the little pinchy motion to strangle to real Darth Vader. It's like thunder and lightning. James Earl Jones is just the noise, the lightning does the work.

[baldguy]

16. He also says "Stay thirsty, my friend."

It may be a warning. If he wants you to "stay thirsty", one could assume he does not want you to drink it.

[Ikonoklast]

19. It's a warning.

Heed it.

[madeline_con]

48. He means stay thristy for adventure. n/t

[kwassa]

17. Dos Equis isn't Milwaukee's Finest, so it must be an Epic Fail.

I had a conversation the other day that ended up "if this is Milwaukee's Finest, what is Milwaukee's Worst?"

Dos Equis is far better than many beers. It just isn't the best.

It ain't Bud Light, the most popular beer in America. If you wish to criticize beer ...

[Kali]

44. unfortunately

bud light is pretty damn popular in Mexico, too:puke:

[Swede]

28. Isn't that Spanish for horse piss?

:shrug:

[Chan790]

29. horses' piss.

Dos means two. Two horses-worth of piss.

[LostInAnomie]

33. Masochists are interesting.

[MilesColtrane]

34. Apparently he's interested in gassy, beer farts.

[Zomby Woof]

35. The ads are a guilty pleasure

I am immune to ads from a "I must buy this product now!" perspective, and I also think 99% of marketing people are worthless. But these ads are compelling and amusing enough that I don't need to reflexively reach for the mute button, a la Flo on the Progressive Insurance ads (the absolute nadir of current ads), or that smarmy talking baby on the E-Trade blurbs (which make me want to reflexively reach for a .38, a la Elvis).

[Oeditpus Rex]

36. Let's diss him for drinking the wrong beer

What measure of people could be more accurate?

[Ikonoklast]

43. As far as research on the subject has discovered,

absolutely none.

This is the overwhelming factor in determining the type of person you are.

Case in point: George W. Bush drinks Dos Equis.


Science never lies.

[PVnRT]

37. Beer snobs are amusing (n/t)

[Symarip]

39. Dos Equis is a pretty good beer

It's much better in Mexico, I have to say.

[Zomby Woof]

41. As is the tequila

Our tour guide at a tequila factory in Puerto Vallarta said that they keep the good stuff, and export the bad. He wasn't kidding. I don't get down there often, but I always make sure to bring back a few bottles when I do. Same for Kahlua - I did a side-by-side taste test with the original and the import when I got back home. The original was worlds better, and we're only talking about a simple coffee liqueur. I wouldn't have believed there was a difference if I hadn't tried it myself.

When you can get the good tequila in the U.S., it's $70, $80 or more for a 750ml. That would be the average $20 bottle in Mexico that would be for "every day" consumption.

Seems the same goes for the beer, although the better stuff isn't sold here like the tequila - U.S. import laws are funny that way.

[jakefrep]

40. Because it's more interesting than Bud Light

Just a thought.

[mysuzuki2]

45. What I want to know is

why did he punch a magician?

[GeorgeGist]

46. Because Moose Head is hard to find?

I hear there's some kinda skunk shortage in Canada.

[EndersDame]

49. I think he would be drinking Chimay or Guiness

[JonLP24]

50. Maybe it's just me but XX is one of my favorite beers

It is better tasting then most if not all American beers such as Budweiser, Coors, MGD, etc.
