Heineken Ad Said To Be Answer To Failed Pepsi Ad

Friday, 28 April 2017, 9:43 BFH Uncategorized 55

Pepsi’s ad infuriated #BLM because… because #BLM is perpetually infuriated.

They say it trivialized their important concerns, implying that a Pepsi could be a bridge to communication. Hailed as a complete failure, Heineken is now being praised for “doing it right,” because as we all know, alcohol will do the job that soda cannot.

How this is an answer to the Pepsi ad is unclear to me because #BLM is not addressed in the ad. The three issues are climate change, transgenderism and feminism.

The left is giving it a thumb’s up. Why? Because in the ad it is the right who cede their positions.

A man who originally said transgenderism is ridiculous, that a man is a man and a woman is a woman, says that he has to now warn his girlfriend that he will be receiving texts from “another woman” (the man in the ad who claims to be a wife and a daughter.)

A man clinks his beer with the feminist to the toast,”smash the patriarchy.”

  2. I’m not a huge beer fan, but drink it under the right circumstances.
    Heineken, to me, takes everything I do not like about beer and intensifies it.
    It’s the last beer I would choose.

  8. Any beer in a green bottle is guaranteed to taste like a shit skunk.

    I’m a regular at a 2 barrel nano operation tasting room. The funky sours and barrel aged brews are my favorites, I’ve become somewhat of a beer snob as a result.

  9. I watched about 15 seconds of the ad. WTF does this have to do with selling beer. Dumbass CEO’s should be fired for spending shareholder money for drivel like this.

  10. On some levels ..yeah..is possible to get along with an individual who differs in your political or moral or religious belief..but once these topics become dominant? Then no..never…

  15. Crappy excuse for a beer.
    For a decent tasting mass produced beer, try YUENGLING.
    American made, and not dedicated to destroying America. At this rate, that could be a winning motto.

    Lefty politics do not sell beer. You’d think the industry would have learned after the disastrous Amy Schumer/Seth Moron ad campaign had to bevcancelled.

  16. Heine is a ‘premium’ beer, in what world, it’s terrible.
    Smells like a couch the cat pissed on.
    Of all the beers I have had, Heineken would be the last choice.
    Followed closely by Blue Moon.

  17. Why preemptively destroy half of your customer base?
    As I’ve taught my family so many times, Evil (the Left) eventually ends up eating itself. These corporations are replete with MBAs, Marketing geniuses and Lawyers that are taught crap at their schools-they have no common sense-they come to their careers with their stupidity fully formed vs working their way up to executive positions and knowing better.
    They’ll go to their graves just as stupid if the ‘safety net’, that socialists perpetually bleat in favor of, shields them from learning from their mistakes.

  18. I can tell you that the Heineken they drink in Amsterdam is NOT the same as the shit they send us. And, after commercial, I’d pick PBR over Heineken even if it were.

  20. I have drank Henis for years. Now? I am not going to be able cause this stupidity will waft into my brain. I enjoy a beer after working on a hot day. Supposed to be in low 90s here tomorrow and I guess I am going to have to buy YUENGLING (never had it before).

  21. I’m going to go against convention here; I think the principle of this ad at least is honorable. I always say that I am open to discussion, and frankly I consider that the most likely means of converting someone to my point of view, although in most cases that would be an undecided person. And I am open to the possibility of being convinced of the other’s point of view, although as well-read as I am I consider it unlikely that there is much in the way of new information that will change my mind significantly.
    I would say that the only shortcoming, although the conclusion is left fairly open, is (to me at least) the assumption that those with conservative views will be swayed to the liberal ones.

    Also, I don’t like beer or wine, although an occasional porter or stout is ok. So Heineken was never on my radar.

  23. A few thoughts:

    So – strangers who meet and get acquainted usually end up being able to relate to each other as fellow human beings instead of stereotypes. Big deal. I didn’t need Heineken to tell me that.

    I seem to recall (from back in my beer-drinking days) that Heineken used to be a pretty decent-tasting beer. Or maybe that was just in comparison to the gerbil pee that most American beer companies were producing at the time. Especially the “Lite” beers *shudder*.

    I don’t know how many folks they expect to win over with this ad, but I’ll bet the Hipsters are gonna keep drinking their PBR and the Rednecks are stickin’ to their Bud Lite *shudder*.

    Whatever happened to drink commercials that just praised the product, rather than pushing some contentious social issue? IMHO, most people drink to escape worldly problems, not confront them.

    P.S. – Here’s an old Hamm’s commercial that’s actually fun to watch:

    🙂

  26. just because someone has something to say doesn’t make it truth.
    and truth is black and white.

    i have zero interest in listening to propoganda, mental delusions or someone’s feelings. notice how the stereotype is in play here.

    where is the moslem sharing a beer with a gay?

  27. A co-worker and I would talk about lots of subjects, I never backed down or refused to discuss any matter. When it came to religion he would tend to shift the subject if not shut it down outright.
    After a while the perfect slam was made available. He used the typical “Christians are so closed-minded” tripe.
    I asked him to name one conversation I had shut down, he couldn’t do it. I asked him how many religious discussions he shut down, too many to count. I then asked him which one of us was the closed-minded one, in a heart beat he knew he’d just been owned. From then on he was open to hearing and listening about the One and Only.
    Discussions are good, conservative ideas always win – but aren’t always accepted – but they win.
    Same with Christianity, it always wins – but isn’t always accepted.

  28. LCD,

    The commercial’s conclusion wasn’t left open.

    The guy on the right says “smash the patriarchy.”
    And the other calls the transexual a woman.

    I’d say that’s pretty conclusive.
    The only think missing was the 3rd guy biting the pillow and worrying when the seas would come crashing through the studio.

  32. When I was drinking, it would be either Guiness or a black-and-tan…never, ever Heinies!

    In re: this oh-so-long spot? Someone’s immortal words: “Stupid is as stupid does.”

  36. Becks. Sucks but not too bad. I USED to have a Heineken when the store would be out of Becks (I drink one six-pack per summer). My husband, (a natural born man and staying that way) home brews great great stuff – but I can’t drink most of it. And now HE can’t drink it either (atkins diet). The little bit of unfiltered type stuff in the home brews makes my guts go nuts. Maybe I should try Yuengling, I do hear that’s tasty. Not ever have Heni again unless they publicly beg for forgiveness and admit to being willing tools. Then I still probably won’t. TIRED AS HELL OF THIS CRAP AND I AIN’T GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE.

  38. Why are commercials being used to push socialist propaganda, or even an attempt to mediate?

    Vote with your feet, wallet, gun if necessary. The guy was ceding so he could get laid.

  46. @Vietvet – There’s nothing objectionable about the St Pauli Girl, quite the contrary! But the knee-jerk jerk-offs find that kind of marketing sexist. Something or other about “objectifying”. I’d like to see an arm-wrestling match between some SJW basement dweller and a German barmaid!

  48. Excuse me, UK accents?

    They are all disqualified.

    Dumb-asses soon won’t have a kingdom because of how stupid they are. Why should IGAF about whatever they have to say?

    Piss off with your pretentious bottled piss ad.

    PBR is not bad beer. I drank it, Miller, and Stroh’s in Wis.. But I’m not a beer snob. The bar/garage bands there were great back in the 70s, among the other things you also found there.

    Would rather have Mezcal and single malt scotch. I like the grittiness of Mezcal and even the cheapest single malt is better than any beer.

  49. This wasn’t an “experiment”, as the commercial leads you to believe. These are all actors given a script.
    Since the lefties make commercials today, of course the “right” changed their minds. If these were real people and not actors, the lefties would have screamed, “Fuck you, asshole!!”, and stormed out.
    Commercials are mini movies that are sales tools. Anyone who fell for this bullshit is a fool.
    Bring back “Where’s the Beef”.
    At least, that was funny.

  52. Texas guy: LOVE Shiner Bock. They need an ad with a bunch of tough ass Texans holding guns, while saying, “Shiner Bock. We don’t drink pussy beers like Heini”
    They’d make millions.

  53. @Vietvet: It was much better in Germany and even Turkey. Maybe it was because it was served much warmer. I am not a fan of cold beer since I got back from there in the 80’s and then Middle East in the 90’s.

    Wurzburger Hofbrau, Franziskaner Weissbier. 40+ degrees. My little slice of Hedonism, but now I don’t drink at all. All American beer was ‘Pisswasser’ to me. 😀

    Check that – I did like Pacifico cold after a trip to Isla Mujeres. All I can say is it was better than Corona.

  55. @Truckbuddy: I think most countries drink their beer around room temperature or slightly below. We probably drink American beer cold because it helps to hide the taste of gerbil pee.

    😉
