Ninety-nine percent of the time when a TV show breaks for a commercial I hit the mute button. Fast. I hate commercials, mostly because here in the U.S. they are dull and have all have gone through a battery of exhaustive, mandatory screenings and analysis for political correctness, racial balance and other agenda-driven baloney to not piss-off a particular demographic group. It's enough to make one never want to purchase a durable consumer good ever again.
And then there's the Bud Light commercials. Oh I still believe light beers taste like insipid water but I find these series of commercials refreshingly funny and witty. Set in medieval times in a mythical kingdom where-- if you took a cast of overtly midwest twenty-first century Americans and placed them in a time machine-- there lives a lord who spends his entire day obsessing over light beer and banishing mead drinkers to the pit of misery. His frequent guests are the very prissy Count Pamplemouse and his wife who apparently have no problem commuting from France to England during the Middle Ages, across the English Channel, without Air France, British Airways, easyJet or the high-speed train through the tunnel.
