Bud Light presents Real Men of Genius (part deux)
They've been playing those funny radio ads again lately, which reminded me of when I wrote this, which got me thinking about a new installment. Enjoy.
-----
Bud Light presents Real Men of Genius. (Real Men of ge-nius!)
Today we salute you, Mr. Superhero-less Superhero Comic Writer Man.
(Mr. Superhero-less Superhero Comic Writer Man!)
Building upon the proud tradition of a uniquely American genre, you write male adolescent power fantasies about musclebound heroes and villains in bright, skin-tight costumes battling each other in exotic locales...except without the musclebound heroes and villains in bright, skin-tight costumes battling each other in exotic locales.
(Clark Kent reads the paper then hails a Taxi!)
You revel in the minutiae of the Marvel and DC comic book universes, know the middle names of B-list villains, and dig up obscure continuity threads for your stories, but actually showing a superhero in your superhero book is beneath you.
(Those costumes are so gay!)
A 6-issue storyline featuring Peter Parker and Mary Jane's quest for reasonable renter's insurance? Some may find it boring and trite, but you know better, O' Literary Lion of the Leaflet.
(It's a metaphor for life, you ignorant bitches!)
So crack open an ice cold Bud Light, Mr. Superhero-less Superhero Comic Writer Man, for when it comes to writing 22 straight pages of Bruce Banner and Reed Richards shooting the shit while drinking beers at a bar, you're our superhero.
(Bud Light Beer, Anheuser-Busch, St. Louis, Missouri) Labels: humor, Real Men of Genius
