The Budweiser ads had a distinct smell of desperation about them. As in, "oh crap, craft beer is eating our market share lunch right now, so we better get out there and flex on the big ad stage."
Loved this one. Lots of people who can't tell a demand curve from a Curves fitness studio seem to think this is encouraging a housing bubble, but that has nothing to do with it. The ad is about how demand begets demand and how the private sector drives job growth and the economy at large.
Only one I enjoyed was the one where the sheep were singing Queen.
All others just did have the it factor imo.

Agreed. There wasn't even a good Clydesdale ad

I really only enjoyed a handful of the commercials.
1) Honda Sheep
2) Super Bowl Babies
3) Doritos baby
4) Snickers Marilyn Monroe.
5) Paypal New Money
All the others were not funny or just really weird.
I honestly don't even care about Budweiser commercials. I'll agree with them on one thing though: no garnish in my beer. Unless it's a lime and I'm drinking Pacifico while watching da Bears. It's my only tradition other than quietly sobbing after the game
It's actually quite sad seeing Budweiser like this. They're finally starting to realize nobody wants to drink their shit water anymore.
The shock top commercial was good. The rest, especially the stupid sheep, were trash.

You can't draw simple conclusions about Big Beer. You agree with Bud that you don't garnish your beer? Nobody wants to drink Bud anymore? The Shock Top commercial was good?
Shock Top IS Budweiser/AB, most times served with garnish and has been a huge growth product for them.
Yesterday, I took the following to a party I attended. A case of Rolling Rock, a 12 of Bass Ale, two growlers of Goose Island Bourbon County Stouts, a six of Ballast Point Sculpin Grapefruit and a Growler of Stone Enjoy by 2-14 IPA.
The only non-Budweiser/ABinBev product is the Stone IPA. ALL the rest are ABinBev products.
Reports or Budweiser's death have been greatly exaggerated.
