COMMENTARY | The Super Bowl 2013 Budweiser commercials have been… interesting so far. Taking a much darker tone, this year’s crop of Super Bowl commercials from Anheuser-Busch are featuring voodoo men and serious-acting rich people partying away in mansions.
So far these Budweiser Super Bowl commercials have been anything but sexy or funny. The one featuring a voodoo man was mostly creepy although the voodoo dolls at the end added a lighthearted moment. But where are the signature Budweiser Clydesdale commercials?
Super Bowl 2013 will be featuring a newly born baby Clydesdale that is only about two weeks old. Using #clydesdales, Budweiser also is asking Twitter followers of @Budweiserand Facebook friends to help name the foal.
According to WCNC , Jeff Knapper, general manager of Clydesdale operations for Budweiser Warm Spring Ranch, says that Chicago, Spunky Brewster, Homie, Tribute, Memory and Boomerang are some of the names suggested so far:
“This newest member of the Budweiser Clydesdale family was 7 days old on the day this part of the Super Bowl commercial was filmed. A star was truly born on Jan. 16.”
The requirements for becoming a Budweiser clydesdales are very strict. According to the Daily Mail , clydesdales that don’t meet these requirements are sold for $5,000 a piece:
“We have very, very stringent requirements to be a Budweiser Clydesdale. They must have a white blaze, a black mane and tail… and four white, stocking feet.”
People on Twitter are using #SuperBowl47 as the major hashtag of the night.
