Insult Or Good Fun? Bud Light "Mr Miniature Train Modeler Man" Parody Video

Boy, after the Toy Train battle brewing elsewhere, you're brave to post this.   Very amusing, and a nice layout.

Too funny, loved it.

Hilarious! The only thing worse than being made of of is to be ignored.

Absolutely spot-on funny!. Anyone who is offended needs to crawl out their basement, dust themselves off and have a cold one. Or two....

I presume that would be a Bud Light they'd be having?

I laughed out loud.  Excellent.  Kudos to the producers and the idea folks on this.

I thought it was pretty ingenious.

"...your mini-town has a mini-ice cream store, complete with a mini-soda jerk, guaranteeing there will always be at least two jerks in your mini-world..."    

See previous post on toy trains being called toy trains.  Someone is sure to be offended.  If not, some attorney can come out of the wood work and be offended for them.

My dad and I were just talking about this the other day. Love the "Two Jerks" line!

OMG.  My feelings are hurt.   

 

Isn't there a rivet out of place there, somewhere???

I'd like to see the track plan for that layout.  Nice layout.  H*** yes it was funny.  But, like someone said previously I'm sure some stuffy perfectionist somewhere will be insulted.

Well I'm offended if anyone gets offended about this one.... Funny stuff!

Coo Coo over choo Choos!:Love it!

It's fine with me, stay thirsty my friend. Even if it isn't Bud.

Guys,

 

Sometimes we see ourselves too seriously! This commercial is spot on! It captures the hobby and the infinite intricacies of our hobby...Someone said it best when he said the only thing worse than being made fun of is to be ignored! With all of the strange things happening recently in the news at least we still fit in the picture.

 

I was quite happy to be thought of by a major beer advertiser, we are still on someones radar!

Man, that is kick *** funny. Love it. If you can't laugh at yourself who you going to laugh at? Don 

best thing i ever saw on the forum......thats who we are.........beer preference up to you

I love it.  I just love it.  I've got PBR in the train-room fridge, but otherwise, if the shoe fits . . .

Great commercial! Not offended in the least bit. Thanks for posting.

Oh Boy another thread we can go on endlessly on how thick or thin skinned we are. Okay, I liked it as a radio commercial, because it is too true, and the video doesn't hurt it at all.

 

After all, I'm cuckoo for choo-choos.

When it comes to adults playing trains, I have seen very little from the entertainment industry that is positive. As far as the commercial goes, IMO it is 50-50 whether or not the humor would make someone buy the beer. I certainly think it wouldn't make an outsider want to be "that guy."

That is funny. I dont think it will make the general audience go out and buy beer, but if we cant laugh at ourselves something is wrong. I enjoy my trains and if I have  a sip of Southern Comfort  so what. 

when it comes to Bud, i just say NO.

 

 

 

A smile every time I watch it

Well done and funny  

Awesome!

 

Crap beer.  But great commercial.   

I love that commercial!   The beer......NO.

Very clever.

 

The only part of this commercial that offended me was the notion that Bud Light is beer.  Now this is beer! 

Ohhh!  Good!  Now we are going to have a flame war about what is beer and what isn't.

I haven't seen that video for a while and I forgot how funny it was.  Thanks for posting it again.  And thanks for the video of the layout.  Both were very enjoyable.

And, as for the questions of toys vs models and beer vs beer, I'd give them a definite maybe.

There won't be a flame war over beer. If we've all had enough nobody will care !!

Oh, man! What have I done?

 

Even as the toy vs model brouhaha continues, I bring more disharmony to the forum with an American pale lager vs ale/stout/craft beer thing.  

 

 

I wasn't offended by that one. I sent the link to several non-train friends and they all said it was a good laugh.

 

BTW, anyone think that guy looks like OGR Formum member CobraBob?

Lionel has made a number of Beer reefers, and when they make a Sam Adams, I'm in!

 

Really enjoyed it. Well filmed, cleverly edited and just plain fun to watch and hear. Kenn

"First stop....Nutsville.  Chug chug...wooh wooh..."  

Are you guys talking about the Parody done by the guy and his son. Or is there also a real Commercial out there. Why would this be insulting. It is a real train guy having/ making fun of a Budweiser commercial. That is what parade is. Seeing the humor in things that are pretending to be serious when they are not. The Bud commercial, not the trains. I think this guy is serious about his hobby and enjoying it at the same time. Hilarious and well done.

 

 

The audio soundtrack on the video is a real radio commercial. I used to hear it locally a couple of years ago. The announcer has done voiceovers for many years. The video is the visual parody of what is, itself, an audio parody.

It's a hoot!  I love it.  I'd seen it before, but enjoyed seeing it again.  Thanks, Bo 

 

My oh my I remember my first Guinness even though it was about what 28 years ago.

 

A friend invited to go to Murphy's Pub in Champaign, one of the few places that actually followed the 21 year old law in the time. He said, "Would you like to try a pitcher of Guinness", and I said sure, and I was amazed that you couldn't see through it. LOL LOL LOL!

 

It took me a few more years to pound it in my head that if I was going to go through the cost, effort, and liability of drinking, I should at least enjoy it with good beer, or, have a glass of water if I couldn't afford it.

 

Not that there's much difference between InBev Light and water.
