I have loved this commercial si ce it first came out. Prime has brought it back for winter 2025.
I had a close encounter with that team one time. I had gone to the Ohio State Fair by myself and was walking down a narrow alley between two buildings when I heard thunder. I turned around and it was the whole Budweiser gang bearing down on me. I threw myself, face first, against the wall, then looked over my shoulder to watch them go by and see the driver laughing at me. Even while scared and the object of ridicule, I was thrilled to see so much beauty go by. They are awesome.
That’s a scary visual - I’m glad someone didn’t have to peel you off the wallI had a close encounter with that team one time.

This is such a tearjerker, @Imogene, and today it hits particularly hard because it was also greatly appreciated by an online friend of 16 years who suddenly passed away several weeks ago. We shared that post and commiserated over it on a different forum.Their commercial that still brings tears is the 911 tribute. Budweiser only aired it once for the Super Bowl. This is the real thing — no CGI, nothing fake. It’s a real team of horses who bowed in honor of those lost. If I remember correctly they were, however, on a site in New Jersey, viewing the ruins from there.
