We’re dropping an all new medical quiz tonight. Action starts at Lo Spiedo at 5:30 PM, as Carl B Sure hosts. Going to be an absolutely beautiful evening to quiz outdoors.
I’ll be hosting at the Vous at 6:15 p.m. Tiny crowd last week (It was a pretty slow week all around, I think in part due to Beer Week). This is a great opportunity to get a win.
And we wrap it up at Founding Fathers at 8:30. Hope to see ya tonight!
As for the video above, we had a question last week about “What beer mascot had the real name Honey Tree Evil Eye?” The answer was Spuds McKenzie, and after watching a couple of those old Spuds commercials for the first time in 28 years, I gotta say: they were really freaking stupid. Maybe we’ve just gotten so used to people talking to animals or something, but man, there is just nothing funny or even slightly interesting about those commercials. It seems like the ad guy just had no clue what he was gonna say when he went into the meeting.
“OK, so it’s gonna be like a regular Bud Lite commercial, except instead of a good looking guy that girls like, it’s going to be a, um, a…oh I know! A dog!”
“OK, and then what happens?”
“He, uh, wears an Aloha shirt! And sunglasses! On a dog! Get it?”
“No I don’t. But go on.”
“And, um, he rides on a skateboard. And, like, there’s pretty women saying that he’s a party animal.”
“So what’s the point?”
“Well. That’s a good question. I guess it’s that, you know, if you want to be a dog, you should drink Bud Lite.”
“That doesn’t make any sense.”
“No sir, no it doesn’t.”
“But let’s do it anyway.”
“What, are you serious?”
