They missed one of my favorites! There's an old commercial where the clydesdales line up on the line of scrimmage with two cowboys leaning over the fence drinking Budweiser. The horses snap the football and another kicks it over some power lines. Cowboy #1, looking unimpressed, says "Do they always do that?" Cowboy #2 says, "Nah, they usually go for 2." It's dumb but that's one of the ones I'll always remember.
@@donnyrodenbergerjr4757. I think it is because it was an earlier one, so a lot of people have forgotten it. Another of my favorites is where the guy trains the young horse from the time it was born and then has to give it up to the team. One day, he sees a poster advertising an appearance, so he goes to the city to see them. After the parade the horses have been unharnessed from the team. The man is fixing to get in his truck when the horse sees him and breaks free and runs to him, and they have a reunion.
I haven't met an American yet who doesn't still get choked up watching that post-9/11 commercial with the horses bowing. Also, the last song is one that Americans who grew up in the 60s and 70s will remember well. I immediately started singing it. LOL
The best of those commercials was the two new Dalmatian puppies get taken to the firehouse and the firemen chose one. Later on the one that wasn't picked ended up on the Budweiser carriage. He sticks his tongue at the other one on a fire truck as they pass each other.
The bowing Clydesdales was made to pay respects for the extreme loss of life on 9/11/2001. While it can be found online, it was only broadcast on television one time.
Can't believe I'd never seen the one with the donkey either. I'm a truck driver and one time I spent the night at a truck stop where two huge budweiser horse trailers had also parked nearby. Each trailer looked amazing wrapped in the bright Budweiser logo, full of Clydesdales too. The drivers and handlers were decked out in their uniforms as well. Grown men were all crowded around like giddy children trying to take pictures of the beautiful horses as the side panel of one of the trailers had been slid back to reveal the horses in their straw-lined stalls.
Unless you see the draft team live, it's difficult to know how truly magnificent they are. These Budweiser horses are huge and watching them work together and hearing the sound of the harness and bells is an overwhelmingly emotional ride. Watching them bow down to NYC after 9/11 brings tears every time (but it only aired one time on TV). These are more than beer commercials.
the training camp, the outfits the riders wear, the dogs. It's all real. So us Americans that know and have seen them appreciate it more. Shame the beer is pure piss water
One of my favorite commercials with the Clydesdales is the one with the baby horse that wants to pull the wagon and sticks its head through the collar that's much too big for it. Very cute and always makes me a little teary-eyed. I also like the one with the cow that's friends with one of the Clydesdales. I was hoping both commercials would be on this list.
Yes! And the one you mentioned with the baby Clydesdale trying to pull the wagon and the big ones are behind it pushing it for him! Timeless, magnificent commercials!!
The 9/11 tribute gets me teary to this day. I remember seeing it in real time and bawling. I'm pretty sure it was aired just a few months after the attack.
The Bud frogs and “Wassaaaap” are classics, but I’m partial to the sappy ones-which are usually the ones with the Clydesdales. It’s a freaking BEER commercial, but they get me in my feels every time. Especially the post-9/11 one with the horses bowing to the NYC skyline. It made me cry back then and still does.
My favorite Clydesdale commercial was the one they have during Christmas where there's snow and the lights and and the song with the lyrics here comes The King here comes a big number one but wiser beer second to none that was one of their best commercials.
The tradition of the Clydesdale team began at the repeal of Prohibition. One can visit the old Budweiser brewery in St. Louis and see some of the horses. They are magnificent! Plus free beer!! Cheers and thank you for sharing!
You have to take trip to Opening Day for the St. Louis Cardinals!!! It’s a great tradition having the Clydesdales and wagon go around the baseball diamond. They also play the Budweiser song “the last commercial” practically every game. Plus the Budweiser brewery is based in STL, there is NOTHING like a fresh cold Budweiser on draft on a hot day at Busch Stadium 🤤
My favorite bud commercial wasnt even included. My favorite was when you had group of horses that lined up in front of another group of horses with a football between them. After they lined up, one horse neighs loudly and all the horses bump into each other as linebackers do. One horse kicks back the football which is held by another horse at a field goal position. A horse kicks a field goal and gets the extra point. One cowboy asks the other, "Do they always do that?" And the other cowboy responds, "No, they usually go for two."
I remember when the Budweiser commercial came out, in school while we were taking a test and the teacher told us not to talk, some kid said "Bud" another kid "weise" and another kid "ser" and them we all started laughing and that helped calm our nerves.
It's more of an audio format, but you should react to some of the "Bud Light: Real American Heroes/ Real Men of Genius" radio commercials. Like they're gut busting hilarious by how on the nose they are and just the sheer number they did. Great ones like "Mr. Silent-Ninja-Gas-Passer", "Mr. Giant-Foam-Finger-Maker", and "Mr. Taco-Salad-Inventor." Pretty much 20 seconds of a hilarious homage to nameless Mr [person who did something] with a 3 second intro and 2 second copyright read.
I used to live in St Louis. The owner of Bud back then also owned the St Louis Cardinals, the baseball team in St Louis. The old owner used to have the team of Clydesdales circle around the grounds inside the stadium and he'd be sitting in the wagon up front laughing and as I understand it, drunk off his as*. He loved beer and baseball.
The first one always made me cry! Now that I've lost one dog and cannot find her and her sister passed away I'm crying to, but so happy to see them reunited. Then the 9/11 one got me and I bawled. 😪😭
They didn´t play my favorite. The horses playing football, scoring a field goal, one cowboy asking if they always did that and the other saying, nah, they used to go for two.
I remember seeing the Budweiser Clydesdales back in 2014 when they came to my home town. You can get an idea of how big they are in the commercials but it can’t compare to seeing them up close, in person. They’re absolutely beautiful horses.
The solemn video of the Budweiser team going from a small town to NYC was done after the 9/11/2001 attack on the World Trade Center buildings. It brings tears to my eyes each time I see it.
As a boy I played baseball right across the road from grants farm where the horses were kept. You could just go across the road and watch them run around. My aunt used to sneak in there in the 70s and ride the horses. What she didn't know when she told me that is that most people who did that were also there to pick magic mushrooms. I told her teenagers still go in the enclosure for that and she got really nervous. Her husband just chuckled. Just so you know those horses are kept behind a wooden fence. People sometimes play with them but no one has ever hurt or stolen them. In the hometown of Budweiser that would be sacrilege.
The one where they bow, they did that commercial after 911. The trade towers were gone in the city... I got to see and even touch a few of the team. Years ago the whole hitch came to Sea World of Ohio, (since gone), they are some big horses. The shoe from a regular horse fits inside their shoes. They just emanate power. Truly beautiful animals. I keep telling the Mrs., if we hit the lottery we are getting some!! Find the superbowl one where they play football...
Besides the 9/11 commercial, which only aired once, my favorites were the ones where the Clydesdale kicks the field goal and the cowboy says "does he always do that" and the other cowboy says "no, they usually go for two" and the one where the sheared sheep streaks around the field.
I believe that last ad, Here Comes the King, is Budweiser's first commercial ever. Over the years, it had been played at various events, including at Cardinals games during the 7th inning stretch.
Mr Robin Wiltshire has been the training the Clydesdale horses for commercials for over 20 years. There are interesting videos of him training. Can't believe they left out the commercial where the horses line up to play football out in the pasture.
They should probably mention that the kneeling horses toward the New York skyline was shown in Feb 2002, a few months after 9/11, and shows where the WTC once stood.
I can't believe this one didn't make it: This one guy trained one Clydesdale then it was time to give him back to pull the wagon. When the guy drove away,, the horse was running after him behind the fence of course. Then It had been a few years since they saw each other and one day the guy read in the paper that the Budweiser Clydesdales were gonna be in town. After the parade or show, the guy started to drive away, the horse knew he was there, broke out of the gear and ran after him down the street. The guy saw him in his side view mirror, stopped, got out and they had a reunion that made me sob!
Martin Lawrence a comedian had a very successful comic sitcom name "Martin ". The phrase "WHAT'S UP" and "YOU GO GIRRRRL " originated from his show. I still hear people saying those two phrases and that show aired in the early 90's. 😁
Yes, and the Clydesdale running up to his trainer in Chicago, the Best Buds one with the steer, the Dalmatian siblings… there are many more that are so great.
The 9/11 tribute ad was shown only once during the 2002 Super Bowl game. The company didn't want to make any money off the ad- they just wanted to make an ad that would resonate with Americans after the events of 9/11.
I have seen the Budweiser Clydesdales at horse shows and they are amazingly huge. Some of them can meet people. Their head alone must be about 1 meter long. There are many rare breeds of draft horse in danger of becomming extinct, so even though I don't drink beer, I think it's nice that they are promoting the breed.
If you've never seen Clydesdales in person they are extremely impressive animals. Okay, that last one, is that Liza Minnelli singing or someone who sounds like her? No Bud Bowl though? The game (between beer bottles) would continue throughout the the actual game so you'd have to pay attention during commercial to get the running score. Which is kinda genius.
It was to commemorate 9/11. The trip the horses took was a symbolic gesture to depict that they had gone all the way across America from coast to coast. And the horses were bowing to the Statue of Liberty. Also, to show respect, and not use it for profit, this commercial was only aired once.
I did a full 57 chevy restoration, and had a hand painted picture of some Clydesdale horses running through the snow, under the hood. It sure did draw a lot of attention and comments at car shows. I got the idea from Budweiser commercials.
Pretty sure most, if not all of us, knew the bowing down one. Definitely one I'll never forget. On a lighter note, the "wasssssssup" one reminds me of my childhood. Classic.
Yeah, the Number One pick was appropriate. It was a 9-11 tribute that only aired once. It's been over 20 years and I still can't watch that one without shedding a few tears. Later, someone made the boneheaded decision to stop using the Clydesdales in the commercials.
"You're not going to go through that kind of production once." - They did a commercial that showed 1-time and 1 time only - It was the SB just after 9/11. If it is not on this, it is worth checking out.
That last one was the original one that I remember when I was young, I am not a beer drinker at all, don't like the taste of ANY brand, type of beer, but I have ALWAYS LOVED the Budweiser commercials. Years and years ago I had the opportunity to see those magnificent Clydesdale horses up close, stood next to them. They are HUGE!!
Hey Lads! I am a long-time fan and student up at WVU and I have actually done an entire 5 page paper on A BudWeiser commercial. Got an A of course! Go Mountaineers!
Hi Office Blokes, I have a bit of trivia for you. Do you know what the word "Budweiser" stands for??? Pay attention to the capital letters in this quote ... "Because yoU Deserve What Every Individual Should Enjoy Regularly". And now that I'm done teaching, class dismissed ... lol, Rock On!
SAD FUN FACT: Budwiser announced that they were NOT going to do a 2002 Super Bowl commercial due to the 9/11 attacks. So when this aired...which no one knew...it was one of the most amazing and emotional commercials ever made
When the horses bowed down, its important to see where it was. Behind the dome building is where the twin towers used to be. So yes its bowing to America. America was insanely patriotic at the time.
The only one they missed in my mind is when the horses line up and they kick the extra point, and the guy walks out there and says to the other guy, " DO they usually do that?" And the response was, " No, they usually go for two."
Fun fact -- the whole idea of the Budweiser Clydesdales started in 1933, when beermaker Canadian August A. Busch Sr.'s sons surprised him with six Clydesdale horses and a beer wagon to commemorate the end of Prohibition in America. (There are now 8 on several different teams that tour in America.) The wagon they pull in the commercials is a restored 1903 Studebaker beer wagon.
If ever you find yourself in St. Louis, Missouri, you’ve got to take the tour of the Anheuser- Busch brewery. You get to meet the horses at the end, and I was shocked as to how huge these animals actually are!
You are right about “wazz up” going viral before viral was a thing. I worked at headquarters for an international company and I heard “wazz up” in 9 different languages 😂
When I worked for AB prior to becoming a Belgium beer, there was always a debate if they were a marketing company or a beer company. History channel has a documentary around 2006 showcasing the difficulties in having consistent breweries across the globe. Oh the irony in your Corona statement.. ab invested in them, helped them grow and it almost saved AB from becoming a Belgian beer.
How long did you work with AB, if you don't mind me asking? The corporate beer world fascinates me, so watching all these mergers through the years has been very interesting. Also, do you think there will eventually be only one major company (I'm talking 10-20 years from now)?
@@SomethingSeemsOff I was a contract employee from 2003 thru 2006 working on their marketing material supply chain with their independent wholesalers. Lots of interesting laws across all 50 states. Since this is branding material bars don’t actually own the neon signs and other promotional materials, the wholesalers do. All that was outsourced. I really haven’t paid much attention since to the mergers closely, but the distribution network is important. Not sure how things will end up since the localization of microbreweries became so huge and the Major breweries bought out any they thought could market nationally. Maybe it’s stabilized where not many options for consolidation and building a local brand to international level has been done. One fear the major breweries have is other competitors outside of beer like wine and liquor. Also they fought cannabis. All these other areas seemed to be stabilized. As far as OB, I think they should definitely consider spending a week in the Midwest, tour the brewery in St. Louis and then other towns in the Midwest. Will give them a true perspective of the USA versus hitting the tourist areas.
Believe it or not, donkeys are kept alongside horses because they are much better at dealing with threats to the herd. They are bodyguards. Donkeys kill dogs, coyotes, wolves, and snakes, while posing no threat to the horses. Horses feel calmer when there are donkeys around.
the only time you'll ever intentionally want to watch commercials then get pissed off cuz a commercial is interrupting u from watching commercials.....i believe thats called irony😂🤣

The one with the Clydesdales bowing to the New York City skyline post 9/11 gets me everytime, so simple but emotional
I believe it's the first time the NY skyline was shown on a mass scale without the twin towers as well.
It was also only shown once.
Nothing at the end either. There was almost no marketing beyond the Clydesdales and the logo. Tastefully done.
Agree what a great one!
That commercial is legendary. Simple but so well done

Was that Liza? Sounded like her.
@@Ozefan2580 You can hear it every MLB opening day at Busch Stadium 😊
Can confirm, I was crying about 5 seconds into that one. Sometimes no words are needed to say a lot.

Yes aired during the superbowl that February
@Rachael Nikolashin it was also shown on the 20th anniversary of September 11th 2001 as a way to say we still remember.
The Bud frogs and “Wassaaaap” are classics, but I’m partial to the sappy ones-which are usually the ones with the Clydesdales. It’s a freaking BEER commercial, but they get me in my feels every time. Especially the post-9/11 one with the horses bowing to the NYC skyline. It made me cry back then and still does.
Budweiser does an amazing job every year at the Super Bowl. Millions of people tune in for the advert, more than a game itself.
Sounds depressing
@@SuperDonez Yea, enjoying great works from professional creatives is totally depressing, uh huh...
The “bowing” one was post-911-saluting the first-responders.
I'm from St Louis Missouri. This is where the Clydesdales are born and raised. We see them at every Cardinals home opener.
From a small town in Southern Illinois about an hour away. Also love visiting Grant's Farm and seeing them up close.
My favorite Clydesdale commercial was the one they have during Christmas where there's snow and the lights and and the song with the lyrics here comes The King here comes a big number one but wiser beer second to none that was one of their best commercials.

That last one with the song was a classic. That song would be recognizable to any American who grew up in the 70s and 80s.
You can see it in the background in “Close Encounters of the Third Kind, while Richard Dreyfuss is making his model of Devil’s Tower.

Hi Office Blokes, I have a bit of trivia for you. Do you know what the word "Budweiser" stands for??? Pay attention to the capital letters in this quote ... "Because yoU Deserve What Every Individual Should Enjoy Regularly". And now that I'm done teaching, class dismissed ... lol, Rock On!
I knew the 911 one was coming it gets me every time. I’m over here crying
There’s a bud light commercial with dale earnhart jr takes a reporter for a lap around race track! He ends up crying like a baby it’s hilarious!!!
Bud Light "Real Men of Genius" commercials are funny. There is a series of them.
SAD FUN FACT: Budwiser announced that they were NOT going to do a 2002 Super Bowl commercial due to the 9/11 attacks.
So when this aired...which no one knew...it was one of the most amazing and emotional commercials ever made

That commercial with the bowing horses was a tribute to the victims of 9/11.
When the horses bowed down, its important to see where it was. Behind the dome building is where the twin towers used to be. So yes its bowing to America. America was insanely patriotic at the time.
The only one they missed in my mind is when the horses line up and they kick the extra point, and the guy walks out there and says to the other guy, " DO they usually do that?" And the response was, " No, they usually go for two."
Fun fact -- the whole idea of the Budweiser Clydesdales started in 1933, when beermaker Canadian August A. Busch Sr.'s sons surprised him with six Clydesdale horses and a beer wagon to commemorate the end of Prohibition in America. (There are now 8 on several different teams that tour in America.) The wagon they pull in the commercials is a restored 1903 Studebaker beer wagon.
The 9/11 one brings tears to my eyes every time.
I will always remember the frog one!!! Saw that when I was a kid and never forgot it.
If ever you find yourself in St. Louis, Missouri, you’ve got to take the tour of the Anheuser- Busch brewery. You get to meet the horses at the end, and I was shocked as to how huge these animals actually are!
You are right about “wazz up” going viral before viral was a thing. I worked at headquarters for an international company and I heard “wazz up” in 9 different languages 😂
Budweiser Beer is also found in the Czech Republic (pronounced Bud-vee-zer) and in Germany (as Budweis)
When I worked for AB prior to becoming a Belgium beer, there was always a debate if they were a marketing company or a beer company. History channel has a documentary around 2006 showcasing the difficulties in having consistent breweries across the globe. Oh the irony in your Corona statement.. ab invested in them, helped them grow and it almost saved AB from becoming a Belgian beer.
How long did you work with AB, if you don't mind me asking? The corporate beer world fascinates me, so watching all these mergers through the years has been very interesting. Also, do you think there will eventually be only one major company (I'm talking 10-20 years from now)?
@@SomethingSeemsOff I was a contract employee from 2003 thru 2006 working on their marketing material supply chain with their independent wholesalers. Lots of interesting laws across all 50 states. Since this is branding material bars don’t actually own the neon signs and other promotional materials, the wholesalers do. All that was outsourced.
I really haven’t paid much attention since to the mergers closely, but the distribution network is important. Not sure how things will end up since the localization of microbreweries became so huge and the Major breweries bought out any they thought could market nationally. Maybe it’s stabilized where not many options for consolidation and building a local brand to international level has been done. One fear the major breweries have is other competitors outside of beer like wine and liquor. Also they fought cannabis. All these other areas seemed to be stabilized.
As far as OB, I think they should definitely consider spending a week in the Midwest, tour the brewery in St. Louis and then other towns in the Midwest. Will give them a true perspective of the USA versus hitting the tourist areas.
@@zgdafzgdaf4264 I appreciate that response! and agree with you that the OBs need to visit the US together and not just the tourist cities.
Now you gotta do Bud Light. They got some of the best commercials. Really funny ones!
Dilly Dilly!
The horses were bowing in the direction of where the world trade center stood.
I don't know about over there but in the United States Budweiser synonymous with sports
The one in front of The Statue of Liberty was only 5 months after 9/11.
Another good series of commercials is the "Long Long Man" candy commercials from Japan. Absolutely hilarious.
Thank you for sharing this-I had forgotten about some of these. Such great commercials.
I'm pretty sure I paid for one of those wagons, a team of Clydesdales, and a Dalmatian.
Believe it or not, donkeys are kept alongside horses because they are much better at dealing with threats to the herd. They are bodyguards. Donkeys kill dogs, coyotes, wolves, and snakes, while posing no threat to the horses. Horses feel calmer when there are donkeys around.
I love this bit of info. Thank you.
The last commercial makes me a child again 🥲🥲
Those brought back a lot of memories...especially the last one 👍
The one where the Clydesdales bent down was related to 9/11 as y'all surmised...
I don't remember what state I was in when I saw them, thinking VA, but I have been lucky enough to see the Budweiser team in person.
The last one is freakin' iconic...a classic from the 1970's.
Dalmatians were bred to be carriage dogs. That’s why the Dalmatian on the carriage and the other dog wanting to be on it too.
I had a friend that lived by the Budweiser Clydesdales ranch. He would see them prance out for their walks all the time.
Actually teared up at the 9/11 one. Ugh!
The Bud Bowl commercials were my favorites.
The last ad is from the 70s. It was always on during NFL games. I was hoping for the classic Christmas ad with the horses and the snow.
Budweiser and Bud light's commercials will always be the best
That last one was from when I was a kid a LONG time ago... thanks for the clips!
Watching this video makes me wish y’all had office blokes beer mugs 🍻
Growing up there was a horse pasture across the street. 2 of the 4 Clydesdales we're in most of these commercials
Valerie Burris that was for September 11.
That frog one is iconic, that was like 30 yrs ago and everyone remembers it. I cant think of any other commercial from the 90s.
It’s a rip off from the Rainer beer comercials
the only time you'll ever intentionally want to watch commercials then get pissed off cuz a commercial is interrupting u from watching commercials.....i believe thats called irony😂🤣
The 'HANK' one has the music to the movies of 'ROCKY' Do more research!
