Epic Win: Bud Ice Penguin Commercials
Submitted and Written by Mike, flightless drunkard of a bird
Introduced in 1994 as “Ice by Budweiser”, it has more alcohol (5.5% ABV) than Budweiser. It is best known for an advertising campaign that involved a malevolent penguin that stalked Bud Ice drinkers and stole their beer.
Penguins really like to play beer pong. It’s a well-known fact.
Epic WIn: 7Up “It’s An Up Thing” Commercials
Submitted by Rahim G, clear, wonderful, lemon and lime
Way better than those “Make 7Up Yours” ads. Or at least less offensive.

Epic Win: Joe Isuzu
Submitted and Written by surrido.smile, faster than a speeding, well, you know
If you watched TV at all in the late 1980’s then you remember the infamous Joe Isuzu. The notorious car salesman whose cars were more amazing than anyone’s and he had no trouble rubbing it in (even if it was a blatant lie!). Although he would tend to overinflate the qualities of the cars*, there would be disclaimers pasted over the ads that would keep him in check.
*Famous quotes included:
“It has more seats than the Astrodome!”
“If I’m lying, may lightning strike my mother!”
“You have my word on it!”
