The Budweiser Clydesdale horses are among the most long-running, storied ad franchises of the Super Bowl. Everyone has their favorites, from the donkey that wants to be a part of the Clydesdale team to the friendship of the Clydesdale foal and the baby bull. This 1996 spot of the horses playing football is our favorite, managing to be both funny and majestic at the same time. Like “herding cats” it makes great comic use of deadpan, world-weary cowboys: “They always do that?” one asks, after a Clydesdale kicks the ball through a pair of upright power lines.
“Nah,” says the other. “They usually go for two.”
