    5 Stars Mines 12 inches long, what's yours 17/10/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Instantly recognisable product

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Gone downhill since Frank and Louie

    Whoever thought that a couple of Chameleons could become Icons was either out of his tree or a pure genius. Or, how about slobbering down a phone line or singing the merits of and oversized takeaway food item? Budweiser have had some of the best adverts on the TV. They've also had some remarkably normal ads which don't entertain you as much but probably put the message across better. Currently they seem to be running two campaigns. The first is pretty normal, with a couple of adverts. The first advert involves foaming bottles and shots of the pure ingredients that go into making the beer. The ... more

    4 Stars Bud.dy Good Ads 24/09/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages excellent product awareness, clever ads

    Disadvantages Disadvantages nothing - can I have my free bottle please

    Ah, mine's a 'Bud' ! Well the Budweiser company have most definately marketed their beer very well. There is hardly a bar in the UK that you can't see a group of lads - and girls - with bottle of Bud in hand. Other 'trendy' designer beers may come and go, but Bud seems to be as popular as ever. The companies TV Campaigns have been memorable, if quirky. First one I remember is the Budweiser Frogs. Remember those, some might say cute, frogs on the bank making noises in praise of Budweiser. It didn't say much, but it stuck in your mind. They weren't just frogs - they were BUDWEISER Frogs! Thats ... more

    5 Stars Louis the Lizard learns Wassssup. 14/06/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very funny - Very clever.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None.

    I suppose it had to happen. Louis the Lizard has learnt to say Wassssup and now he is training the ferret to join in with him. If you haven’t seen the Budweiser adverts then the start of this opinion will not mean anything to you at all. But, that will probably also mean that you have been on another planet for the past few months, so you probably don’t know what Budweiser is either. The ad men at Budweiser have been really clever here. For the past few months they have been running two simultaneous sets of adverts for Budweiser beer, with totally different themes. The first is ... more

    2 Stars 'Wassup' with these set of adverts? 22/07/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good production values as always.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages We're in the UK, we couldn't care less about the great American contradiction.

    Oh dear....generally the Budweiser series of adverts have been hit-and-miss. The set of adverts that were inspired from the film 'Delicatessen' (the man trying to swot a fly whilst jumping on a bed whilst others are doing menial things in synchronised rhythm) are generally a miss. Whilst the talking frogs/sadistic lizards series were fantastic and very original and were undoubtedly a hit. While saving us for the treat that are the 'Wassup' series (guys who ring each other up and just shout out 'Wassup' is decidedly infectious yet surprisingly not irritating), they're showing us these range of ... more

    5 Stars you are so beautiful, bud... 14/10/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages refreshing, smooth, moreish

    Disadvantages Disadvantages toads look good

    I stood there, allowing the day to wash over me as i watched her from my window. That beauty was resplendent, awe-inspiring, totally washing my aura and transforming my dark life into rainbow-like colours... Yes, she was the Bullfrog toad i had watched many times before, but on this occasion her features consumed me with passion; i began to look at her in a different light...marriage was on the cards...i would give her my heart, my all... Ah, Budweiser beer makes a guy feel reallllllllly special, in a dozy sort of way. That toad, tumbling between car wheels as i watched, her throat ballooning ... more

    5 Stars BUDDIES 23/05/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Lizards are funky

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Short

    Everyone expects something good from the Budweiser adverts, as it's sort of become tradition. Firstly i got addicted to the cool, cute adverts when their stars were the three frogs, saying BUD WEIS ER!each, then there was the two lizards that i've had as a screensaver on my pc that still makes me laugh, more recently we had the either hate or love chilling out having a bud advert with wwwwaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssssssss uuuuuuuuuuuuuupppppppppppppppp! in between(so many jokes and spoofs from it!)but currently we've had the lizard annimations back, and introducign them saying WWWWAAAAASSSSS ... more

    3 Stars Enough of the wwaaassssuupppp 01/12/2000
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages funny at first, but boring now

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    I am totally fed up with the wasssuuuppp adverts, as they are very boring now, and they need changing, they where OK at first but if I see another one I`ll scream. I`d like to know what the man who originally directed the adverts was thinking, had he drank a crate of Bud himself, to think up such a crazy advert, there again they got the message across as you even hear the kids walking down the street say wwaaaasssssuuuuuppppppp! I say bring back the Bud Lizards, now they where excellent and very very funny. I much preffered the story of Frank and Louie and their endeavours against the ... more

    3 Stars couldnt they be wiser 23/12/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages memorable

    Disadvantages Disadvantages out dated, boring

    You've seen the adverts , you've seen it in the movies, heard the song and received the flashing 'whasss uppp' text message- surely it's time that a new sales gimmick was thought up to promote this beer? To begin with the ads were amusing, but the novelty soon wore off and the advert left a path of destruction: no one was safe from the cry of 'whass up'. to make matters worse, there is now a series of adverts following the same theme. Remember the Budweiser frogs? Remember how annoying those adverts became? Well it seems that the company deicded that as the 'whass upp' idea caught on, they can ... more

    5 Stars Mister Foot-long Hotdog Inventor 02/10/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very funny, well thought out.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None.

    So I am sat her flicking through the various catergories in search of something to make me laugh when I thought, "Yes!! The Budweiser Comercials" ,only to find that nobody has written about Mister Foot-long Hotdog Inventor or Mister Wrecking Ball Operator. These adverts are so funny, even better than the lizard. In fact, my friend's little girl finds them so funny that she asked me to find out the words to the entire Hotdog advert so that I could sing it to her(which ofcourse, I did). The funny thing about them is not the voice over guy with his quips about a 12 inch wiener or swinging a two ... more

    4 Stars funny but annoying 06/12/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages funny advert

    Disadvantages Disadvantages annoying after a while

    Picture it, a mobile phone in the hand of a thirteen year old boy and his father who has the same sense of humour and at times the same mental capacity. You've just entered my home. The Budweiser adverts are brilliant and funny, I'll not bother describing them because unless you've been in outer space or don't own a TV you'll have seen at least one. They are also a goldmine for all the mobile phone operators and BT. My son and husband find it hilarious to sit upstairs and ring our house phone, normally when I'm busy, then when I rush to pick up the phone I'm greeted by Wasssup and a fit of ... more
