As Super Bowl 59 approaches, a controversy is brewing over a Bud Light commercial. Fans are calling for a boycott. ‘Bud Light’ has faced criticism for its marketing in 2023, which hurt its position as the top-selling beer. Now, its latest Super Bowl ad is causing more problems.
The commercial, called “Big Men on Cul-de-Sac,” stars Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning, rapper Post Malone, and comedian Shane Gillis. In the ad, the trio brings a fun energy to a suburban block party, but it causes a lot of upset.

To understand why, we need to look back at 2023. That year, Bud Light had a tough time after a huge boycott due to its short partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
Even though the company hoped to win customers back with this new commercial this year, many fans are still angry and have decided to keep boycotting the brand.
