- freakish_beast, on 07/16/2009, -1/+67I don't even drink beer, but every time I see or hear the commercial it makes me want to go buy Dos Equis.
- GhostInAShell, on 07/16/2009, -2/+54He once had an awkward moment just to know how it feels...
He lives vicariously...through himself.
these are wonderful:

He is... The Most Interesting Man in the world. - thekarmastrike, on 07/16/2009, -4/+41great commercials.. good beer, too.
- redfan, on 07/16/2009, -0/+29I can understand the appeal of a renaissance man like that. People are trying to "class it up" a bit more, even when it comes to beer. I guess there's a limit to how much you can sell with cheesy rock music and half-naked women.
I know, I'm surprised too. - TalahRama, on 07/16/2009, -0/+23For some reason, I doubt the veracity of this list simply from, "His pot never has seeds."
- Magic0, on 07/16/2009, -2/+24Stay thirsty my friends.
- markf3388, on 07/16/2009, -3/+24I dont always drink beer, but when i do, i prefer Dos Equis.
- pagit, on 07/16/2009, -0/+19He can speak French—in Russian.
( as he is saving a fox from a foxhunt) - ZebraApocalypse, on 07/16/2009, -0/+18Because you can be like the most interesting man in the history of time by drinking Dos Equis! Seriously, some marketing guys remembered people like Chuck Norris jokes, then made up a guy who could do things like in Chuck Norris jokes... and sold beer by doing it.
- zeppo, on 07/16/2009, -0/+18This beer actually has an interesting history. It was created by Germans who immigrated to Mexico in the 1800s. German beer via Mexico. Pretty cool in my book.
- anthonylam, on 07/16/2009, -2/+18They're good commericals, but aren't they just another version of Chuck Norris facts?
- IAmSam14, on 07/16/2009, -1/+16I went to cancun last year and across the street from the hotel was an alcohol shop and i went in there the first night and asked him what the best beer he had in that store was. I asked him if it was corona (being the tourist i was) and he laughed and said no, he pointed me to a six pack of Dos Equis and it was amazing. I couldnt find it for about 6 months afterward until these ads started popping up and then it seemed like it was everywhere (i probably didnt look hard enough) and needless to say i rarely stock a different beer in my fridge (youengling lager is the only other one)
- ThinkBox, on 07/16/2009, -0/+15I love Dos Equis. My favorite everyday drinker
- Phoyo, on 07/16/2009, -0/+13Wiki: Dos Equis is a pale lager that was originally brewed by the German brewer Wilhelm Hasse in 1897. The brand was named "Siglo XX" ("20th century") to commemorate the arrival of the new century, and the bottles were marked with the Roman numerals "XX", or "Dos Equis" (two Xs).
This is... the most interesting beer in the world! - shyawnkarim, on 07/16/2009, -0/+12Right after I saw his first commercial I had to rewind and watch it again. I was in in awe. The whole time I couldn't figure out what the pitch was and then when it hits at the end it's pretty awesome.
- Phoyo, on 07/16/2009, -0/+10Thank you Captain Cliche!
- MastaQ, on 07/16/2009, -1/+10It's like Chuck Norris jokes, if they were actually good.
- ChunkerMunker, on 07/16/2009, -0/+9What I hate are these metro sexual sissy ads, and most of all these Low ***** carb (or whatever they are) beers.
I think the Dos XX ads tell us to man the ***** up!
The disgrace of drinking "LIght" anything... pfft
The next commercial I wanna see, is one of the cast from "The Hangover" with the tag:
"This is the beer that kidnapped MIKE ***** TYSON'S tiger!"
Either that or Al Bundy....
"Al Bundy here... you might remember me as Polk High's starting QB that scored 4 touchdowns in one game. But when the members of N.O.M.A.A.M and I hit the nudy bar, there's only ONE beer that's good enough for us."
Or
"Hi... this is DUFF MAN! Ohhh Yeahhhhh!!!!.... and Duff Man doesn't drink Duff Beer, he drinks ______ oh yeahhh!!!" followed by Homer saying.... "Hmmmmmmmmm....... __________ graghrrrrrgghghg"
Okay... okay... one last one.....
"Peter Griffin here, and when I want to get away from Lois and her nagging, I drink ______ ahhh... yeah.... simply the best beer money can buy. Even better than that time I bought.............* you guys fill in the blanks* - zzzpoohzzz, on 07/16/2009, -0/+9yeah, it definitely works...
i work at a beer distributor in a college town in PA, before those commercials came on we sold maybe one case of dos equis a month, it went up to about 2 cases of it a week... doesn't sound like much, but in our distributor our main product is natty light when schools in... and busch when schools out (locals) - Tyrghast, on 07/16/2009, -0/+9These commercials make me want to like Dos Equis, but there are much better beers.
- nalguita, on 07/16/2009, -0/+8It's actually good.
- thredden, on 07/16/2009, -0/+7for the record its yuengling, and its America's oldest brewery. Its brewed in Potsville?, PA, in the Laurel Highlands (South Central PA), where some of the best mountain spring water is. The Laurel Highlands also contains Latrobe, where Rolling Rock used to be brewed before Anheiser Busch bought, moved, and subsequently ruined that great beer.
- sisco510, on 07/16/2009, -0/+7Quotes I've saved from commercials. Maybe other people heard them but don't remember them so why not refresh their memories.
- GorfTron, on 07/16/2009, -0/+7I love the way he says it with such conviction.
- palehorse864, on 07/16/2009, -0/+5TO BILL BRASKY!
Oh wait. - barc0001, on 07/16/2009, -0/+5The ads just started showing up in my area a few weeks ago. I don't even like beer, and they make me want to try a Dos. Yes, yes, I am falling for the marketing crap, but it is effective indeed. As in the article, I was also struck by the fact that the ads' main character goes out of his way to state he doesn't drink beer that often.
- ThinkBox, on 07/16/2009, -1/+6i've had over 300 different kinds of beer. I am well versed in Beer. I go through different phases, yes, but most days I like a lime and a big Dos. Sorry they all suck for you.
And Shiner is one of the best Beer makers in America. Shiner is just great. - shyawnkarim, on 07/16/2009, -0/+4Well then I take it back. :)
- Eurynom0s, on 07/16/2009, -3/+7I will never understand buying something because of marketing, instead of buying something because it's actually good.
- theonlybradever, on 07/16/2009, -0/+4he's saying', "continue to enjoy high quality refreshments".
- HawgFrog, on 07/16/2009, -0/+4I liked Dos Equis before it was cool.
- inajeep, on 07/16/2009, -0/+3Just talking about this with a co-worker a week ago. One of the 2 or 3 commercials I don't mind seeing or hearing.
- Mlob, on 07/16/2009, -0/+3When I first saw the commercials, I spent an hour on Google trying to find out who he was, not realizing he was made up. I figured he was just the Mexican George Clooney or something
- villainousT, on 07/16/2009, -0/+3They've got a great marketing firm right now. They're even doing events...There is one tonight in the Austin area at a castle...literally a giant castle. http://bit.ly/typiQ
- doublefelix, on 07/16/2009, -5/+8Beer! The cause of... and solution to... all of life's problems.
- strictnein, on 07/16/2009, -1/+4You Texans with your Shiner.
- jeffmon, on 07/16/2009, -4/+7Terrible beer.
- alphanabla, on 07/16/2009, -0/+3Femsa is made up of people who love beer that make beer for people who love beer.
- inactive, on 07/16/2009, -0/+3I will fight you.
- Rethcir, on 07/16/2009, -0/+3Go be unique like everyone else and drink your PBR.
- heynow21, on 07/16/2009, -0/+3I'm sorry but they lost me when they had him say " the party you want to be at is the after party". All I could think of is some stupid ad executive listening to that R. Kelly song.
- karmazon, on 07/16/2009, -0/+3Being boring is a choice. Those pleated khakis and mild salsas don't buy themselves. Stay thirsty my friends.
- Tmoney645, on 07/16/2009, -0/+3Shiner, the best American Brew there is. Prosit!
- Hellicus, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2I dont know about the US, but here in Mexico you can get a 6 pack of Dos Equis for about 5 bucks.
- lucidgoo, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2His beard has been known to stop bullets.
He wears sunglasses to shield the sun.... from his eyes.
He invented... the shocker.
lolololololololololololol - inactive, on 07/16/2009, -1/+3Ah, the beer discussion. Where everybody says every even remotely mainstream beer tastes terrible, and the only good beer is from some kind of local brewery, or foreign (usually from germany).
- diggwut, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2The after party...is the one you want to attend.
Stay thirsty my friends. -
