The post Shane Gillis gives LSU Tigers fans something to drink in new Bud Light spot<\/a> appeared first on ClutchPoints<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n Shane Gillis has become a reliable face for Bud Light\u2019s recent string of commercials, and his latest might be the funniest yet. Gillis takes viewers<\/a> on what he calls a \u201ctailgate safari\u201d<\/a> through LSU country, blending satire with a perfect nod to college football culture, per FanBuzz.<\/p>\n The two-minute ad shows Gillis in safari gear, guiding tourists through an empty parking lot on a cart. At first, the ride feels like a bust. \u201cYou said there would be tailgaters here!\u201d one tourist complains. Gillis coolly corrects her, \u201cI said there could be tailgaters here,\u201d before reaching for his Bud Light cooler. With a few cracks of the can, he uses the beer as bait. Suddenly, LSU fans begin emerging from the bushes. More and more tailgaters shuffle toward the cart, drawn in by the promise of Bud Light.<\/p>\n The situation gets chaotic when one tourist, Jeff, disappears into the sea of tailgaters and reemerges grilling with strangers. Gillis shrugs it off with a punchline, telling the group Jeff has been taken in by his new people. \u201cSorry you lost your husband, but you did sign a waiver,\u201d he quips, cementing the ad\u2019s offbeat humor.<\/p>\n This LSU-themed safari isn\u2019t Gillis\u2019 first round with the beer giant. He previously starred in a Texas Longhorns commercial with comedians Tommy Pope and Joe DeRosa. He\u2019s also fronted a \u201cWelcome Back to College Football\u201d spot and one parodying perfume and cologne ads. Most memorably, Bud Light gave him a Super Bowl spotlight in the \u201cBig Men On The Cul-De-Sac\u201d commercial alongside Post Malone.<\/p>\n The streak of ads signals a shift for Bud Light. A brand that\u2019s weathered controversy in recent years has found a sweet spot with Gillis, leaning into humor that actually lands. Just weeks ago, they kicked off the season with the \u201cBud Light Here\u201d ad, and now this safari follow-up proves they\u2019re keeping the laughs coming.<\/p>\n From LSU\u2019s tiger-striped tailgates to national campaigns, Gillis and Bud Light have tapped into college football fandom in a way that feels both ridiculous and right on target. If laughter really sells beer, then the safari is working.<\/p>\nBud Light and Gillis find a winning formula<\/b><\/h2>\n
