Remember that Bud Light slogan fiasco from last week? How could you forget? First of all, it was only last week. And it was so unnecessarily stupid that it's going to haunt us for months.
When the beer company added a tagline to its bottles reading, "The perfect beer for removing 'no' from your vocabulary for the night" it not only offended a ton of people, but it opened Bud Light up to all sorts of ridicule. They're no strangers to jokes over at the BL brewery, but no doubt it only added insult to what was already a very face-palm inducing, self-inflicted injury.
No one was more excited to poke some jabs than John Oliver. He skewered the company on Last Week Tonight not only for letting the slogan make it to the public (the label went through at least 5 layers of approval before it made it to the bottle!), but he also let them know how he really feels about the beer.
"If Budweiser is the king of beers," Oliver opened, "Then Bud Light is the feudal peasant covered in donkey s--t of beers."
He was off to a strong start. The talk show host then played a clip of what he thinks a Bud Light commercial should really say, new slogans and all. And let's just say they weren't exactly kind. Here are a few of the lines:
"Bud Light tastes like a beer that someone already threw up"
"It's like a liquid John Mayer song"
"It tastes like the flat soda that a homeless guy uses to rinse off birds"
"The beer that tastes like water strained from a gutter through a dog's teeth"
"Bud Light tastes like the scared urine of a rabbit"
"If a nickel could urinate it would taste like Bud Light"
"Bud Light tastes like the ghost of a dead lemon"
The only thing to say here is...ba doom boom.
