Dude. Dude! ...Dude.
Californians get a lot of crap for gratuitous use of "dude." But "dude," like "snow" for Eskimos, is actually really expressive. (Also, when you're frustrated and all sputtery, it feels so much better to go, "...dude" than "FUCKFUCKFUCK!")
Don't believe me? Ask Bud Light. Once convinced, bear thyself hence and answer the call of dude.
The Dude Madness website -- linked above -- lets you make a "DUDE" call, which is when your friend picks up the phone and hears "DUUUDE," then gets a text that reveals its meaning. But trust me. If you do the "dude" right, they won't need the text.
The dudes responsible: AtmosphereBBDO and DDB Chicago for the TV spots. The ad: great for "dude" in all its glory, but I'll probably forget it was for Bud Light when I use this story for bar fodder.

Hhhhmmm is right. The online work is better than the tv.
Atmo sucks. Maybe not.
Thought the site was nothing new or fresh. A quiz? How very 5 years ago.
Agree. liked the hamster. congrats to AB to go there given Bud TV...
beer is cool. i like this.
Once heared an Inuit (eskimo is not nice) explain they have just one word for snow. It's there anyway, why make such a big deal out of it, dude. ;)
And don't forget to check out the videos created by the XLNTads community on the Dude Madness page! We teamed up with AB to add content to their page, and we're pretty proud of the results.
