Hey GoDaddy: Will Ferrell's Old Milwaukee Super Bowl XVLII Ad Is How Sucking Face On TV Is Done

GoDaddy.com’s latest tacky Super Bowl commercial (which was actually tame by GoDaddy standards; it's the sound that makes it worse than it is) wasn’t the only one that featured two people uncomfortably making out in closeup.
An ad for Old Milwaukee beer featuring Will Ferrell making out hard with a middle aged Asian woman on a bus ran during the Super Bowl on a tiny CBS affiliate serving towns in Texas and Oklahoma. The station KXII, serving Denison and Sherman, Texas, and Ardmore, Okla., had the pleasure of seeing the ad, which was produced by Ferrell’s comedy video website, Funny or Die.
Ferrell is a self-professed fan of the beer and reached out in 2011 to Pabst Brewing, which owns the brand, about doing a series of low budget ads for the beer. Last year’s Super Bowl spot ran in Nebraska. Other ads have run in the Quad Cities area, which serve Iowa and Illinois.
Pabst released a statement that read:
"We're lucky to have Will Ferrell as a fan of the brand. The humorous, localized TV spots he creates truly exemplify what Old Milwaukee is all about."
