<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/desperate-bud-light-exec-addresses-customers-new-statement-announces-three-important-actions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brendan Whitworth<\/a> appears to be under the impression that people will simply forget the brand paid a &#8220;transgender woman&#8221; during a time when the LGBT community is vying to come after innocent children.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than issue an apology, he and Bud Light insist on rolling out ads in desperate attempts to convince people the beer is macho \u2014 and not some &#8220;woke&#8221; combatant that entered the culture war on the side of the left.<\/p>\n<p>A 15-second ad that dropped online on Sunday features men grunting and sighing as they sit down or get up from their chairs.<\/p>\n<p>The company went as far as to enlist Kansas City Chiefs tight end <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/chiefs-star-travis-kelce-tells-biden-stay-right-tries-commandeer-podium\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Travis Kelce<\/a> in order to convince the everyman Bud Light is the beer for them.<\/p>\n<p>Before the Mulvaney debacle, &#8220;Backyard Grunts with Travis Kelce&#8221; might have been just another relatable beer ad for any man who has ever audibly groaned as he kicked back after a demanding day.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, and with only a few thousand views in 24 hours, the ad was called out as insulting and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/bud-light-makes-desperate-move-save-4th-july-sales-huge-problem\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">desperate<\/a> \u2014 which it is.<\/p>\n<p>Just look at this clear attempt to bring the brand back to its glory days:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>One YouTube commenter who watched the ad wrote, &#8220;Bud Light is getting desperate after having 2 bottling plants close because of lack of demand for the beer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another wrote, &#8220;Bud Light is going for the death blow at this point. This is what they think of their client base, stupid grunting cavemen. Just fire the CEO already&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Yet another commenter wrote, &#8220;Another pathetic attempt&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Bud Light already scraped the bottom of the barrel with its two previous ads \u2014 both of which portrayed it as a beer for middle America, or people whose summer activities include grilling, relaxing and sports and leisure \u2014 and not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/seattle-lgbtq-pride-parade-nudity-outrage-1809620\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">marching naked<\/a> in front of kids at &#8220;pride&#8221; events:<\/p>\n<p>The company has now resorted to bizarrely trying to communicate to men through grunting.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gutfeld-destroys-republican-host-of-the-view-over-balenciaga-hot-take\/\" title=\"Gutfeld Destroys Republican Host Of \u2018The View\u2019 Over Balenciaga Hot Take\">widely panned ad<\/a> is a sign of where Bud Light is \u2014 which is in decline as beer drinkers have chosen other options.<\/p>\n<p>The company has learned the hard lesson that destroying a reputation is much easier than building one.<\/p>\n<p>After Sunday&#8217;s insulting ad, Whitworth should resign immediately while his successor should accept the fact that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/bud-light-sponsors-event-men-something-disturbing-children-watch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bud Light<\/a> might forever be a middle-of-the-pack brand in a market full of alternatives that respect women and children.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/bud-light-humiliated-latest-ad-bombs-features-men-grunting-another-pathetic-attempt\/\">Bud Light Humiliated as Latest Ad Bombs, Features Men Grunting: &#8216;Another Pathetic Attempt&#8217;<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bud Light&#8217;s ad, aiming to regain male beer drinkers, faced severe backlash as a feeble effort after three months of sales decline.
