Bud Light launched the 'Real Men of Genius' campaign in 1998, a series of short radio and television spots in which a gravelly narrator and a gospel-style choir paid mock-tribute to everyday guys with ridiculous habits. Spots like 'Mr. Really Bad Dancer' became cultural touchstones, and the singsong jingle outlived the campaign itself. Creators later revived the chant as a meme, pairing it with videos of clumsy stunts and ironic victories. Because the format works for any subject, it remains a go-to punchline for tongue-in-cheek praise online.
