10 Famous Budweiser Super Bowl Commercials
Budweiser Super Bowl ads are iconic, so I decided to include some of them in a video, especially the ones I think are the most famous. Many of them didn’t make it into my selection and the decision wasn't easy for me. However, the hardest part was finding them in a decent quality in the first place. It's as if the responsible ones didn't even bother to keep these gems available. Congratulations to Anheuser Busch, the advertising agencies, and all the people who created these jewels. I hope you enjoy them.
These ads are included:
1. Budweiser, “Lost Dog” from the 2015 Super Bowl with Don Jeanes, the famous Clydesdales and a cute puppy – this is actually a follow up to “Puppy Love” from the 2014 Super Bowl which is the follow up to "Brotherhood" from the 2013 Super Bowl
2. Budweiser, “Frogs” from the 1995 Super Bowl – this famous ad introduced “Bud”, “Weis”, and “Er”
3. Budweiser, “Canned” from the 1999 Super Bowl – this one featured the lizard resp. chameleon “Louie” and “Frankie” as well as “Bud”, “Weis”, and “Er” in a series of ads during the game with the title “Master Plan”
4. Budweiser, “Donkey” res. "Born a Donkey" from the 2004 Super Bowl
5. Budweiser, “Audition” from the 2005 Super Bowl – this one is a sequel to the previous one with many other animals
6. Budweiser, “Lashing” or “Slapped” from the 1999 Super Bowl – with the lizard resp. chameleon “Louie” and “Frankie” as well as “Bud”, “Weis”, and “Er” in a series of ads during the game with the title “Master Plan”
7. Budweiser, “King Crab” resp. “Crabs” from the 2007 Super Bowl
8. Budweiser, “Dalmatian” from the the 2007 Super Bowl
9. Budweiser, “Clydesdale Team” resp. “Hank”, “Rocky” or “Training” from the 2008 Super Bowl with a Dalmatian as trainer
10. Budweiser, “Respect”, also called "Tribute", “9/11” or "Ground Zero Clydesdales Bow" from the 2002 Super Bowl featuring the Clydesdales bowing their heads in the direction where once the World Trade Center stood – this extremely touching commercial was shown to pay respect and was aired only once. In 2011 there has been another version with the One World Trade Center in it and in 2021 another updated version. I’m using the original version that was shown during the Big Game.

11. Budweiser, “Whassup” from 1999, a commercial that has written history and actually never aired during a Super Bowl – it came out in December 1999 and became immediately a hit, but at the 2000 Super Bowl "Whassup Girlfriend" resp. "Whassup Game" from the the series was shown, followed by "Whassup Come Home" with a dog and aliens in 2001.
11.5 Budweiser, "What Are You Doing" from the 2001 Super Bowl – this one is less well known than the previous one but was an actual Super Bowl commercial and has a lot of fans for a very good reason.
11.75 Budweiser, "Out of Towner" from the 2002 Super Bowl, a continuation of the "Jersey Guys" resp. "How ya doin" campaign.
11.99 Budweiser, "Here Comes The King" from 1979 Super Bowl
