Real Men Steal First Place: Team DeSantis Trolls Bud Light with “Real Men of Genius” Spinoff

TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA — Team DeSantis mocked Bud Light’s recent LGBTQ advertising with a satirical commercial modeled after the beer company’s memorable “Real Men of Genius” TV ads from the early 2000’s.

The narrator – whose voice sounds identical to the actor from the original TV spots – begins: “Today we recognize the men who’ve hacked the system. Once mediocre in the men’s division, now cream of the crop in the women’s.”

“You couldn’t cut it with the boys, so you pushed women off the podium,” the narrator continues. “Without you, sports would be fair. Without you, women’s sports would be for… well, women.”

Team DeSantis was not the first to tap into the “Real Men of Genius” spoof in the wake of Bud Light’s new advertising campaign pushing support for gender fluidity.

Last week, a popular video circulated on Twitter with an opening line: “Today we salute you, Mr. Chick with a lady penis.”
