In a continuation of our series of liquor ads that feature desis (See the last one here) , UD presents the Carlos Menica Superbowl ad that debuted last Superbowl. Reminiscent of the old “Mind your language” British series (Remade badly in Hindi as Zabaan Sambhal ke) , the ad features Mencia teaching an English as second language class to an assorted bunch of guys. I found this ad funny even though it relies on the tired device of supposedly “funny ” accents. The ad ends with a desi looking character who just can’t say “Bud lite” !( Other versions of this ad show him getting the girl so it can’t be all bad !!)
