I love the one where the girl says, "He's a happenin' dude!" She sounds like someones Mom trying to be cool, but I'm pretty sure none of those commercials are ironic, so I find myself utterly confused. So maybe I don't love it. I don't know. In any case, I'm sorry you're filled with regret, Joe.
I love the "Bud Light Slide" disco one. Especially when you can see they just picked up Spuds and were moving him around, and he looks like dogs normally do when you do that to them: confused and just wanting it to be over.
I don't think it will ever be clear why Spuds McKenzie existed as a mascot to sell beer. And I don't detect any specific irony associated with it, nor do I remember any at the time. But seeing this now makes me want to watch the Futurama in the Slurm Factory. Whimmy Wham Wham Wazzle!

Rebecca Haarlow accidentally electrocuted Spuds McKenzie #4.
I just spent over three minutes watching those ads. I will never get those three minutes back, ever.
I'm filled with regret.

The noise Fry makes when he tries to chew off his own arm to follow the Super Slurm down the grate is one of my all time favorite pieces of audio.
