Having watched an obscene amount of football over the past couple of weeks, I've taken notice of the latest batch of beer commercials, most notably Bud Light's "Drinkability" campaign. What's happened to this once great institution? When I was a kid, nothing came close to topping the "Tastes Great, Less Filling" Miller Lite commercials that featured such classic pitchmen as John Madden, Billy Martin, Dick Butkus, Bubba Smith and Bob Uecker. They were timely, creative and funny as hell. Nowadays, however, the level of writing and acting talent displayed on beer ads is about as creative and funny as a prison rape. They've been on a steady decline for years but I finally had seen enough with the aforementioned Bud Light ads, which are just stupid. Bring back Madden, dammit!

I think my least favorite, and proof that today's beer ads are pathetic, is the Bud campagn with the Taylor Swift-looking bartender who claims to know how to "correctly" pour a beer. She leaves about two inches of foam. Idiot.
How dare you wish to see Madden in anything! I agree that beer commercials are terrible these days. But please, don't subject the world to anymore of John Madden.
