Got an Hour to Kill? Hit Epic Carnival for Ultimate "Top 40"

It’s undoubtedly one of the best top 40s we’ve heard since Casey Kasem. If you’ve got some time you need to kill, bookmark this post right now. Do it.

The fine folks at Epic Carnival, who’ve been more than kind with their linkage to the LCG in the past, have taken the time to find, rank and provide their top 40 Bud Light Real Men of Genius commercials. It is a historic work, and I feel ashamed that it’s taken me more than two weeks since its original posting to track it down.

Joking aside, I know how long a seemingly simple post can be to put together, and Epic Carnival has done so real yeoman’s work here. A complete list of 40 with accompanying YouTube videos for each and every one one of them. Once I clicked on #40, it was a slippery slope to an hour of pure amusement. My personal top 10 with the number they ranked in EC post:

Mr. Jean Shorts Inventor (#40): Any time jorts are involved it’s pure gold.

Mr. Way Too Proud of Texas Guy (#37): This is so funny, because it’s totally true. Texans love to remind themselves and others they live in Texas. I dated a girl from Austin for a bit, and I fell in love with that city. That said, they brand that damn Lone Star on their beer bottles, belt buckles, dumpsters, heck even the sidewalks have lone stars on metal plates. You know, just in case you’re walking down the street and forget what state you’re in.

Mr. Footlong Hot Dog Inventor (#36): One of the original classics. I remember this one fondly.

Mr. Chinese Food Delivery Guy (#29): Distinctly remember hearing this for the first time in a car and almost spitting up. The lyrics ring so true except it’s about six minutes if you’re talking NYC Chinese Food Delivery Guy.

Mr. Bowling Shoe Giver Outer (#25): I just like “giver outer”…as a general rule tied to anything.

Mr. Cell Phone Holster Wearer (#19): One of my favorite guys ever!

Mr. Grocery Store Cart Wrangler (#12): Is there a more thankless man of genius?

Mr. T-Shirt Launch Inventor (#8): I’ve touched on the men who ply their trade with this invention.

Mr. Hair Gel Over-Geller (#7): Immediately reminded of this classic video (portions NSFW).

Mr. Taco Salad Inventor (#4 and #35): My #1.”Is your taco salad healthy…of course it is, it’s a salad isn’t it.”

There are other great ones within this quite “epic” post. Go. Read. Watch. Do it. What does this have to do with sports? Very little. The commercials are marketed to sports fans? A few sports fan parodies on the list? Sure, good enough criteria-hitting for me.
