Coors Light ads.

Does anyone else get extremely annoyed and aggravated by these Coors Light ads where it's just a bunch of people bouncing around ("Because We Can"), with horrid music in the background ("...and TWINS!")?

I'm not a cynical jerk, I just get annoyed by blatant attempts to grab the 18-24 demo (and, more so, the fact that it might work!)

I can't stand these ads -- they're clearly not aimed for me. As such, I guess the only thing I can do is stop drinking my beloved Coors Light, something my friends did years ago.

You have a problem with hot twins? Hmmm....why all the twin hatin, man? I like the ads. Not that I would drink their beer, but they are nice eye candy and a nice diversion for the couple seconds they are on.

Well I'm 21 and I find the radio ads quite annoying. Can't really remember the spot on tv, but I don't mind looking at hot twins. Not going to make me buy their waterbeers though.

I'm not in their target demographic.... and I thought the 'because we can' commercial was catchy. I actually backed up my TiVo to see what the ad was about.

(I still won't drink their beer though)

At the same time? Because if so, I think I have a new hero.

Yep... but it got kinda messy when I accidently scheduled a date with them at the same time and at the same restaurant.

Sorry everything can't be about you. Anyways, I like them, although I will admit that after awhile they can get kinda old. The Kid Rock was a really good one too. They remind me of when I took a vacation to Colorado earlier this year. Partying with a bunch of people rolling around in the snow with girls, good stuff. Me and my friends were basically those people in the commercials. Plus I even went to the Coors brewery. Good times, good times.

I just saw a new one for the first time, it featured a cover of A Few of My Favorite Things. Definitely worth watching again, even if i don't drink their beer.

Guinness - now those are commercials! The only commercials that actually make me thirst.

i've seen that one too. i find both of them highly annoying, but i see people tapping their feet to them when they come on, so i guess people are liking them.

I think you misinterpreted my post - I don't dislike them because they're "not about me" (anyway, what the hell is that all about), I dislike them because they're annoying.

Also, I am engaged to a hot twin, so I don't think it's that I hate hot twins.

I guess I just get annoyed by a company's attempt to seduce the morons of the world. (Not that any of you are morons...)

I love the commercial, but it's overuse of sex and the fact that it airs so freakin' much during NFL games is annoying only because I have young nieces and nephews (in the 5 - 13 yrs old range) that visit to watch the Cowboys game with me.

It's embarrising cuz they all look at me when that commercial comes on.

The football one is extremely annoying. People still drink that water disguised as beer?

Toad, I'm with you, not only are these ads annoying, but disturbing. Anyone else realize that the demo they are shooting for is much younger than 21? No wonder kids think drinking is cool, how can you not watching these ads? What happened to Pete Coors high on the mountain talking about responsibility? I guess that wasn't trendy enough.

Coors Light = water

I don't care if their ads feature live sex acts, I'm still opting for a beer with actual flavor flav

I'll watch their commercials during football (the cheerleader at the end is hotter than those twins, btw). I'm drinking my Sierra Nevada Pale Ale while doing so.

Yeah, I'm with Scorpio ... I like the ad, but it won't influence me to drink their beer.
