As such, Budweiser has begun to ramp up the excitement. The popular beer brand has released a Super Bowl commercial named "American Idols." The commercial has already gained 1.8 million views on YouTube alone, and fans are pumped for what's to come.
Budweiser's commercial features a horse, along with a field and a barn in the background, blurred out. The horse stumbles upon a baby bird. As they become friends, the bird begins to ride the horse back, with each gallop showing the bird as it grows, until eventually, it becomes an eagle.
"I can't even remember the last time a commercial made me feel this good! Whoever thought of this is brilliant," One viewer wrote in the YouTube comments section.
Another used admitted that it got them right in the feels, even bringing them to tears.
"This commercial made me cry. I have lost count on the many, many times I have watched it," They wrote.
The Comments on Budweiser's Commercial Were Almost Exclusively Positive
In a time where everything feels politically charged, sports is a perfect opportunity to escape from reality for a couple of hours. And, it would seem that one user believes Budweiser managed to caputre the art of escapism perfectly.
"This commercial is what America needs now," read one of the comments.
Another user noted how Budweiser's 150th anniversary also coincided with America's 250th birthday.
"Well done! Not only for Budwiser's 150th but for America's 250th!!," they wrote.
There was also a theme of hope emanating from the comments section.
"Morning in America - An absolute home run — capturing the hope of this moment and the quiet belief that America can renew itself again. It feels like Morning in America," a comment said.
The Super Bowl is set for Sunday, February 6. And with Budweiser's commercial, excitement for the event might be the highest it's been in years.
