I put together the best commercials from the famous Bud Whassup campaign (also spelled as Wazzup or Wassup) in more or less chronological order. Which one is your #1? Tell me in the comments, I will include your vote in the ranking here below this description text!

These ads are included:

1. “Whassup” – the first 60-sec commercial that started it all in December 1999

2. “Call waiting”

3. “Pizza Party” – my title, I don’t how it's called

4. “Wasabi” with Dookie (Scott Martin Brooks)

5. “Wife” with Dookie

6. “Girl Invasion” – actually the one that was aired during the Super Bowl 2000

7. “Telemarketer” with Dookie

8. “Courtside”

9. “Howyoudoing”

10. ‘‘Language Tape’’ – this ad increased the website traffic from 400.000 to 1.265 million visitors/month

11. ‘‘Come Home” / “Alien Dog”

11.5 Ant-Man and the Wasp from 2018 with Michael Peña using the phrase and Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly and Michael Douglas


I have also a video "Whassup: The Ultimate Collection" with some really good parodies of the Whassup commercials included from Scary Movie to Annoying Orange to The Simpsons but it doesn't play in US and Canada due to copyrighted material.

The Whassup campaign (also called Wassup or Whazzup) for Anheuser-Busch / Bud light was developed by DDB Chicago (CD Bob Scarpelli, Copy Charles Stone III, AD Chuck Taylor, Production C&C Storm Films, Director Charles Stone III) to attract younger target groups. The idea was simple and seemed silly first but was in fact genius:

After it was first aired in December 1999, it became a hit and different parodies began to use the phrase, from Saturday Night Live to homemade online videos. The ad series was one of the most acclaimed and popular commercial campaigns in modern advertising history, won almost every major award and became a cultural catchphrase, also outside the US, and is still famous today, after almost 20 years .

There are commercials I didn’t include in my video because they didn’t use the phrase, were not really famous, and I didn’t want the video to be boring, for example “Couch”, “Pizza”, “Burger King”, and I’m certain some others I don’t even know.
