Top 10 Real Men of Genius Ads
19 Jul 2008
Written by Dan Bingham
One of Bud Light’s funniest ad campaigns to date, the Real Men of Genius commercials made a somewhat smooth transition from radio to television. ‘Somewhat’ in the sense that our imaginations will always be funnier that what is visually spoon fed to us, and mostly because the singer from the ads is better heard and not seen. The following are 10 of the best Real Men of Genius’ which have been rated based on the following criteria:
1. The levels of sarcasm in Deep Voice Guy’s commentary.
2. The vocal quality and lyrical hilarity provided by the Stephen Tyler wannabe.
3. The value of the service/invention provided by the featured “genius.”
4. The urgency with which some of these genius’ need to get the hint.
While some have not made it to television yet they are still worth listening to.
Mr. Silent Killer Gas Passer
Mr. Nudist Colony Activity Coordinator
Mr. Grocery Store Cart Wrangler
Mr. Foot Long Hot Dog Inventor
Mr. 80 SPF Sunblock Wearer
Mr. Really Really Really Bad Dancer
Mr. Stinky Breath Breather Outer
Mr. Pro Sports Heckler Guy
Mr. Edible Underwear Inventor
Mr. Cellphone Holster Wearer
If you enjoyed these, here’s the complete list of mp3s from when the campaign began under the heading Real American Heroes.

useless bit of trivia — the “Stephen Tyler wannabe” is actually Robin McAuley – a jingle singer from the Chicago area and the current lead singer of the band Survivor (”Eye of the Tiger”)

This was so much better when it was Miller Lite’s Real American Heroes, and the best one is still Mr. Giant Taco Salad Inventor. Only you could invent a salad that has 12,000 calories.
