ANNCR: Bud Light Presents, Real Men of Genius

SINGER: Real Men of Genius!

ANNCR: Today we salute you… Mr Over-the-top Carb Counter

SINGER: Mr Over-the-top Carb Counter

ANNCR: Brushing aside such follies as work and family, you wisely adopted carbo counting as your primary pastime.

SINGER: I’m crazy for carbos.

ANNCR: From breakfast through dinner you tirelessly record every precious carb, hoping it might all add up to your target number: zero.

SINGER: Hold on to your dream now.

ANNCR: Was that artichoke you ate 13.5 carbs or 13.6? Better look it up while you help yourself to another package of bacon.

SINGER: I like it crispy.

ANNCR: So crack open an ice-cold Bud Light, oh, Count of Monte Carbo, (SFX: beer opening)... because the only thing better than meat and potatoes is meat and meat. Bud Light Beer, Annheuser Busch, St. Louis, Missouri.
Brief Explanation
The latest diet trend in the United States is watching our intake of carbohydrates. You can eat as much fatty food as you want, as long as there are no carbs. As a result a man on a diet can have three meals a day consisting entirely of sausage. This spot salutes that man.
