Milwaukee's Best Light commercials during WSOP

It is not enough to WANT the beer. You have to EARN it.

I don't want everything to be explained. You're still completely missing my point. Take, for example, the Levi's ad where that white guy steals the black guy's jeans off the balcony. For the rest of the night, whatever the black guy does (put socks on, dance for his girlfriend, jump around the room), happens to the white guy because the jeans are possessed by his soul.

Nobody questions the physical impossibility of the white guy's muscles being controlled by the black guy. That's the premise of the ad, and it's accepted. But everything else that happens in the ad is totally understandable by society's standards, and *that is what makes it funny*. See, when the black guy dances in his underwear, griding with his girlfriend, the white guy is in a subway station and finds himself griding with a businessman, and having to apologize for it. This is funny because the guy isn't gay and wouldn't, in his normal life, grind his ass against a stranger. So he has to apologize because his jeans are possessed.

It's not like the writers also decided to have the businessman in the subway start shooting laser beams out of his eyes. That wouldn't make any sense. For the Ferguson-in-the-fridge concept to be funny, which it could be, the audience needs to identify with the world around it. That's the entire point of writing, especially comedy writing. And in real life, nobody comes up with ludicrous excuses to go get a beer out of the fridge.

He's gonna have to go sometime anyway, might as well empty a can ahead of time.

He's in a fridge, not 8 tabling.

I think it's was fairly obvious. The guy is tricking his friends. He feels guilty about this so he makes up ridiculous excuses almost as if he subconsciously wants to be caught.

Wouldn't it get cold in there? I don't think this is a very realistic commercial.

My girlfriend thinks it's because if the guy said he was going to go get a beer, then someone else might want to go with him.

[Kaeser]

Why would someone go with him to get a beer? They'd just say bring me one too.

This is true, but at least we finally have the first reasonable explanation. This thread may actually get somewhere once the donks are finished patting themselves on the back for recognizing that it's illogical to have Chris Ferguson living in a refrigerator.

She says that his buddies might say "oh yeah, I need a beer too, I'll go get it". She doesn't want me typing what she says anymore. She says she needs time to think about it and people are gonna say "only girls would go with each other to get beer".

[blufish]

True. But the best beer commercials on Tuesday nights are the "Men Should Act Like Men" ones. I believe they are Milwaukee's best also.
