kelticwizard Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 What he hell is with these Miller Lite beer commercials? On one commercial, one of a group come into a restaurant and are given menus. One of them has trouble reading the menu. "You'd do better without sunglasses" the waitress sneers. "I just came in from outside" the customer says. "It's midnight" she says with ill-disguised contempt. How about the one where the barmaid calls a perfectly well-behaved customer a mama's boy. Or the others where the barmaids make snide comments on the customers' clothing. Can somebody tell me how these commercials are in any way likely to make me buy the manufacturer's product? Are we supposed to be so intimidated by these snickering servers that we will start buying Miller Lite to avoid becoming the target of their verbal barbs? It's not so much that the commercials are obnoxious. It's that I don't see how showing fatmouth barmaids endorsing a product would motivate anyone to buy it. Anybody else feel the same way?

Klecko73isGod Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Look out, something just flew over your head. After reading the OP, one must come to the conclusion that kelticwizard owns Affliction t-shirts and sports a lower back tatoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dig the females portrayed in these commercials finding them quite adorable and if I wasn't happily married I would happily test their tensile strength. What's not to like about a chick making fun of a dweeb in sunglasses at night, a guy wearing a dragon outfit or a dude with a tramp stamp tat?

The point of these commercials is to send one message, and only one message, "Miller Lite is a guys beer." So, given the series of commercials: If you are one of those dooshers that worries so much about looking cool that you wear the sunglasses in-doors... keep drinking the pussy beer, you aren't a guy. If you are one of those dooshers that wears all the tight shirts with the Ed Hardy scripty words and dragons and sh*t... keep drinking the pussy bear, you aren't a guy. If you are one of those dooshers that wears the european man thong... well you get the idea, no? Its a typical campaign for one of the Lite Beers. They are selling their beer to blue jean wearing guys that have zero respect for the jersey shore looking like dooshers of the world. The bartender chicks are all hot too... not sure what you are complaining about here. Unless it struck a nerve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The snotty attitude of the barmaids is supposed to be excused-even appreciated-because they are voicing disgust at a fashion faux pas at which the viewer is also supposed to be disgusted. But if your target audience is guys who wear jeans and Metallica T shirts, they don't care about fashion anyway. They have no pent-up anger on fashion issues that the snotty barmaid serves to express for them. Most men don't even know who Ed Hardy is. For a set of commercials that are supposed to be aimed at the regular guy, these spots come across as being written by a set of fashion fans for fashion fans.

Nah. The "fashion faux paus" are supposed to be uttlerly obvious. I don't know d*** about fashion, but I know a guy who has a tramp stamp is a homo.

Vudu Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I prefer Corona to all other beer. Modello is pretty good too. Budweiser, Budlight & Coors taste like pee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowmoe57 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 The commercials are easy to figure out - Drink Miller lite pretty barmaids will think you are Manly and you will get BJs aplenty.

Real beer drinkers are few and far between, it always surprises me when I get together with old friends and they are all still drinking bottles of Bud/Miller Lite... and I'm ordering 90 Minute IPAs. Heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
