It resembles a large holiday, a lighthearted take on Thanksgiving. In addition to all of that, the ads are the reason why people watch the big game. “Did you see the commercial?” is likely how your buddies who do not give a shit about football will welcome you the following day.
Some of the best-known, most iconic Super Bowl commercials feature the beloved Budweiser Clydesdales. Each year, Anheuser-Busch produces a unique ad for their flagship product that they air during the biggest TV event of them all.
The Budweiser Clydesdales tradition goes back to 1933 and the end of Prohibition. To celebrate the return of beer, the son of the company’s president arranged for a beer wagon pulled by a team of the majestic horses.
The horses soon went on tour, promoting the brand and providing the nation with an opportunity to witness large draft horses that were used for heavy labor in the past. The company’s approach to the Clydesdales is “do it yourself if you want it done well.” They are domestically bred, reared, and trained.
For the their Super Bowl commercial, the Budweiser Clydesdales were joined by a new friend: an adorable puppy who lives next door!
The puppy has become friends with the horses and has repeatedly escaped from his farm to visit them, as you can see in the video below. You will not believe what the Clydesdales will do to keep their friend around, but they are also determined to see him.
