Audi may have gone for creating a fake, unsettling dog for its Super Bowl commercial, but Budweiser is playing it safe, coming at us in its ad with the most adorable puppy this side of a 12-pack (of puppies).
In a the sequel to last year’s popular “Brotherhood” ad, actor Don Jeanes returns to his role as the head of Warm Springs Ranch. Only, next door, a blonde woman has opened a puppy adoption center. And inside that puppy adoption center is this guy:
All he wants to do is be friends with a horse. A Clydesdale. One of those famous Budweiser Clydesdales.
This one:
But egads! Someone wants to adopt the puppy and take him away from his one true and forever love, the Budweiser Clydesdale! It’s all too much. The cuteness is overwhelming.
Watch:
How many cute parts were in that? A lot of cute parts. Twenty six cute parts, give or take. Here’s how many cute parts we saw:
