Comedian Shane Gillis will partner with beer brand Bud Light following a dismal year for the brand, according to a company post on Instagram.

"Welcome to the team @shanemgillis, excited to be a part of your 2024 tour," the beer brand posted.

"Excited to announce partnership with Bud Light #budlightpartner," Gillis posted to his Instagram account.

Bud Light sales plummeted last year after news broke that the brand had partnered with transgender influencer and activist Dylan Mulvaney.

Bud Light goes from Dylan to Peyton Manning to some little known comedian as spokesman?  Interesting choice.

Another brilliant choice made by the people that thought up the previous successful Bud Light ad campaign. Oh yeah this guys a winner, hired and then fired by SNL before he ever did a single show :silly: :silly: :silly:

Gillis is no stranger to cancel culture himself.


This annoys me.  What happened with Bud Light isn't cancel culture, it's capitalism.  Conservatives aren't saying Bud Light shouldn't be allowed to sell beer; we're saying we choose not to buy it.
