Coors Light Canada gets weird in this spot featuring a talking bear hat, horse loving athletes, neon eyeballs, plastic suits that fill up with air, donkeys named Richard and a bunch of other things that made zero sense but are there just to be weird. Even the VO that tries so hard to keep it grounded mostly ends up being a see-say.
Remember kids, weird is always good, provided there is some reason for it. But since Coors Light has never been a weird brand, this direction seems quite off.

PermalinkSo basically, this is the stuff you get shitfaced on a la college kids binge drinking? Cool!
No, seriously the talking bear head was kind of amazing, even though I was wish he wasn't see-saying. And they're right that Coors really isn't good for much else other than binge-drinking it. So I approve of this change of tactic, and the Art Direction, just not the VO. It feels like a compromise.
