No Speak English!!!

When this video first came out last year, I thought it was the best one Bud Light has had for a long time. Carlos Mencia is a good comedian which makes the commerical that much better. Carlos Mencia is teaching what looks to be a wide variety of immigrants or even tourists how to ask for a Bud Light. He starts off by giving them instructions for ordering one in the south and he uses a southern accent most likely from Texas. Then one of the students says it with his accent and kind of messes it up. Then he moves to New York saying his line with an accent from the Northeast and the student tries to do it exactly the same way. Once the guy tried to do it I thought that this was hilarious and starting laughin histarically. Then he goes to the next guy and says it with an accent from East L.A.and gives this little shimmy with his shoulders while saying it, then the student tries to do it but fails misserably. But at the end he switches it up and teaches them what to say when somebody asks them for a Bud Light. This commercial was definitely to humor the audience, but at the same time it is trying to sell its product by giving its tradition slogan right before the commercial ends.

Reflection

Zaireeka. As I sat in class and listened in on that cool experience, it reminded me of a time when we would sit at the lake in high school. There would be two or three people playing there own music at their respected camp sites. Though none of the music was coming together like it did in the Zaireeka experiment. In the experiment we started by getting the cd players in time with each other, but after the first track or the timing was off. But the more I think about it, I realized how much time and effort it had to take in order for them to be able to have all of cd's lined up perfectly with each other.

Another time that this reminded me of is when in the dorms a few weeks back, there were two cd players that we had set up to try and play the same song in sync with each other. It took some time to get them calibrated, but when they were in sync it was really awesome and when they were out of sync it was kind of hard to listen to it. But this was the same problem in the Zaireeka experiment when the cd players were out of sync, then it was hard at times to listen to it when you knew that one of the cd players was off just because you wanted to hear what it was like when they were all in sync. Overall, it was really a cool experience and I was glad that I was able to be apart of that experiment.
