Real Men of Genius-Houston Traffic

[DorvellTStewart]

This ad campaign was... well... genius! I wonder why they stopped it?

[mistarcraw]

TRAFFIC RULES!!

[Zencyde]

HAH. <3

Makes me feel better with my 20 mile Houston commute.

But lately 610 has been happy around 10 AM. Can hit up to 75 if you want to weave and speed hard enough. ;D

[richf2000]

Can they do the Dallas traffic?

[nfalk05]

I love Westheimer who doesn't it fucking rocks also love the new Washington scene to !

[tthomaselli2]

Are the guys from the commercials the actual guys doing this?

[dragonfilm]

@tthomaselli2 yep

[equineaurora]

omg that is amazing, and sooo incredibly true!

[Kelby316]

The city of Houston goes to work, lunch and back home...ALL AT THE SAME DAMNED TIME. They say NY is the city that never sleeps...this one does...and we do it together. I see the same people on the freeway EVERYDAY. I feel like a know them. We are very close to each other in traffic

[Zencyde]

@Kelby316 Are you that asshole that makes it impossible to pass!? D:

[shineonocean]

ahhh i've never even BEEN to houston and this is still hilarious.

[danielnunn]

290 is a nightmare in the mornings..you will eat your lunch, before you get to work!

[Skizzor09]

Do yall notice the ticker on the bottom is talking about traffic and accidents?

[nicoleochoa320]

So I tell people at my office "Hey you know those Bud Light/Weiser commercials that always come on the radio 'Real Men of Genius' or 'Real American Hero'?" they say no... :/ .....WTF HAVE THEY BEEN LIVING UNDER A ROCK??? Well anyway, this was AWESOME!!!!!!!! I showed it to them, and they just didn't get it.

[Myclette]

LMAO! God it's so true!!! LOL!

[J4103V]

Funny to think, that the blonde guy sang "Eye of the Tiger", lol.

[LDC454]

Would NEVER have guessed that the announcer guy looked like that. Course I was blown away when I realized Don LaFontain (the movie credit scary announcer guy) was a little short man. I figured he'd be so big he could go bear hunting with a tooth pick. Love these commercials.

[ven0m989]

I live in Houston and this is true. Growing I lived up north and have driven Philly, New York, Boston, Kansas City, and DFW but Houston takes he cake for bad drivers.

[12connor213]

were they promoting drinking and driving?

[MenaceeffectZ]

@12connor213 lmao

[jrenae75]

I've never been to Houston, but this can apply just about any big city. I love this.

[GameStation3]

Who are the people on screen doing this? I'm just wondering.

[bjsmtu02]

Love it!  H-Town!

[Ish0and0shake]

I used to live in Houston, everything is true. Loving this!

[keephoustonrich]

Keeping it rich. Keep Houston Rich.

[aggiegurl22]

Houston's main problem: we have no zoning codes. Everything is too spread out and our freeways are filled with 18 wheelers.

[NightmareDusk]

Where was I when this was on TV

[dragonfilm]

@NightmareDusk probably stuck in traffic

[HakeemYao]

Please, someone give me a thumbs up.

We need a train to downtown.

Metro just ain't cuttin' it. Lets use some of this Obama money and build a train. 290 North, 45 North to 45 South, and I-10.

[Metalchris36]

hell yeah

[MiaSays]

seriously, I don't know what the hell is with Houston traffic. it's ridic. it's as if everyone is always as far away as possible from where they need to be.

[dragonfilm]

Still love this one!

[BardNoir]

This is so true. I live in Houston. It's actually true! What I think is amazing is that we seems to have 2 or 3 fender benders a day and there's ALWAYS something closed for construction. Again... it's so true.

[Metalchris36]

yup, theres always at least 1 accident everyday and its RARE to hear on the radio that there isnt a wreck

[cameltoejoe69]

Gheettting great mileage!

LOL

[A7XHellBlaze]

Dave Bickler is freaking awesome!!!

[DesperateHousecat]

I came up in Houston. It was true then, too.

[cantu825]

ok...are the Real Men of Genius commericials not shown nationwide? lol....we hear this ALL the time in Houston...this was HILARIOUS!

[fawardking]

who are all these people

[KingVirmire]

NY traffic is the worst and im from philly

[scarletj85]

i don't know man. i used to live n houston and i swear i needed a psychiatrist after dealing with the traffic for a year! lol. I visited NY and it was bad....but not THAT bad.

[notarivsanonymvs]

L.A. traffic is worse than Houston.

[stephaine83]

I've been to L.A and they have nothing on our traffic here in Houston. This song is just to funny.

[TexasMedic08]

This is great! Its so true! Love the part, "Yout aint going anywere anyways"!! That is classic!

[Xtort96]

i used to live in houston for 18 years and i never saw this!! i hate myself for this!

[EliseMcKenna7]

haha traffic is so annoying! haah brilliant! :]

[LawaynaS]

Who are these people....

[Myclette]

LMAO!!! It's just so true!

[HGbunny]

"I'm trying to drive Frie-eh-endly!"

[andromedasucks]

this is perfection

[lesus244]

this is funny cause its true damm i hate 610 and 59 south around 4pm the traffic drives me crazy

[beewcar]

the singer is the singer from Survivor known for "Eye of the Tiger"....talk about DOWNGRADE.

[kcmann4152]

Thats not Jamie from Survivor

[kcmann4152]

scrap that...I thought they were talking about Jamie not the original singer

[scarshapedstar]

Eh...

[chilleffect]

fuck that houston has the worst traffic becuz everywhere else think they do but they have small as streets, houston has big streets and still packed

[Cabezon83]

Houstons traffic doesnt have shit on new york or la, so i dont know what the fuck youre talking about.

[omnidragon42]

I rofl'd... 2 million cars... all on westheimer...

[TKDHsoj]

Did anyone notice that they are mixing alcohol advertisment with the traffic report, at one point even saying "So crack open a nice cold Budlight" while they are talking about sitting in your car? No one? Seems like a conflict of interest...

A really fucking funny conflict of interest.

[kkatarn327]

haha nice catch!!!

[bad2bone2212]

@TKDHsoj

duddeee chill its jsut fun and laghs

[bad2bone2212]

Respond to this video... imdrunk off budlight onw!!

[Morpheus414]

*sniff*

I'm so proud....

[marioder127]

Haha I just moved to San Antonio.. what a diffrence. Houston has the Worst traffic in America. I should know i'm from New York

[blueorange31]

i live in sugar land. its a pain driving to UH every morning. haha

[ElChivoFR]

University of Hawaii ?

[blueorange31]

nah. University of Houston. go cougsss

[txmetallicachick]

LMAO - pure genius!!! :)

[strofan15]

It's so true . . .

[redmustang03]

That is so true, Houston sucks bad and even when its 2:00 in the morning there's still a lot cars on I-45 or the 610 loop.

[OfDaHeeZy84]

Houston Traffic sucks. I go to school Monday-Friday and I leave extra early to avoid 59 hell rush hour mornin and afternoo. Go Coogs

[mradamlaurie]

Houston is awesome! Best city in the world! Anyone notice he didn't mention I59? Because it's like a permanent HOV lane.

[shaidamd]

That's awesome! Totally true...and sad at the same time...I love it!

[BIGcountry4567]

gotta hate houston, to bad i live there lol good city tho proud to be a texan

[rohanwow]

Rofl that was funny

[dowling1981]

Funnier than the portention of Terlaghan?

[cfgolfcf]

hahhahaa i live off of 290... it does suck down there

[SHiFTY325i]

LOL so true.

"All of them are on Westheimer"

"Who are all these people?"

[bobwatters]

oh shit yeah so true

"who are all these people"

o fuck thats funny

[thaartofdez]

LMAO haha hell yea, you see all sorts of people on westheimer.

[wetbutter]

haaha THAT was clever!

[sdemerald]

Getting great mileage! haha

they should do the traffic in my area even though Houston sounds a lot worse

[HaleyShmaley]

LMAO!

Holy crap, that was freakin amazing.

And sadly... Very true.

[NeesheUsafi]

wait.. where was i at when they aired this!?!? dang it!

[chocokoneko]

"There are over 2 million cars in the city and at any given time, they're all on Westheimer" ha ha! So true! Oh so true!

[buopesado]

LOL thats true.

[AeronPrometheus]

He speaks the truth about Westheimer. Only four lanes and half the damn city is trying to use it at the same time!

Also the only road I've ever seen with a 45 MPH speed limit where no one, not anyone, goes slower than 60.

[cryingsoftly]

you can see something similar on shepherd/Durham. Except the speedlimit is 35 but they and they are going 50 and there is always someone going the wrong way.

[chocokoneko]

Dude, there is also the part where it is two lanes for the first part of Westheimer by the University of Houston area where there is a choice to turn the outer lanes into parallel parking spaces, and OH god forbid someone tries to turn left. You back up the whole street!

[rsagartz]

Who are these people?!

[ziable]

so true!!! lol!

[terminator734]

im trying to drive friendly

[Futura428]

I wish they do this in Los Angeles

[erikaemergency]

dittto futura428.

[Arcanefire44]

best thing fox news ever did, IMO

[src1tube]

I luv these ads. thanx 4 showing this.

[liljuvi05]

lol this is so true... yall remember 2 yrs ago when everybody left town for the hurricane hahha it took us 18 hrs to get to austin.

ps anybody know when they'll finish construction on I-10....never?? thats what i thought.

[HaleyShmaley]

Only 18 hrs? You got lucky lol

It took me 42 hrs to get to Dallas. I should have never left lol

Oh and about I-10... Yeah, I'm pretty sure that dream is dead, dude.

[woodside4life]

290 is evil. plain and simple

[PrimalHunter1]

so true lol

[laeaglin]

omg!!! everything they said is true!

gettin great mileage

[chawnita]

Holy crap the part about westheimer is true. I dont live there but the times i have visited that street is craazy.

[d5gdf56gdfg]

true true

[oldtimehockeyfan]

These ads are so funny. I don't even drink bud light but I love the ads. They should do one of these for Boston Traffic because the traffic sucks in Boston! Or at least do one about Massachusetts drivers!

[someoddchick]

Oh god Westhimer.... Always avoid I-10. 290's a bitch. Much faster to either take back streets through neighborhoods or leaving work late and AFTER rush-hour.

But I love Houston! GO ASTROS!

[GeneralOfAnegon]

Whaddaya mean, 'after rush hour'?

[redmancheyenne]

Haaa! Haaa! I lived there in 1980 and the traffic was just as bad then!

[xXSCREWSTONEXx]

REPRESENT TEXAS BABY!!!

[Nicole72688]

Hahah, I love Houston. Thank God I only have to fight the traffic when I want to go shopping, hear Obama speak, or something.

[sourcreamandcocoa]

They missed the loop and 59.  Worst traffic ever

[wilsonmedina1987]

That is great they should make for i495 and i270

[alisonnicole84]

Oh man, this makes me miss Houston. Westheimer = the good old days.

[alisonnicole84]

Oddly enough, I now live here again. 1/4 mile from Westheimer.

[ThickDixie]

..That's Dave Bickler from the 80's rock band Survivor..remember "Eye of the Tiger"..

[lasigmaman]

...Or anywhere else you can sit..in..your...car!

[3dgrocksoutloud]

ha ha ha... i used to live in Katy... thats so amazingly true.

[hnnguyen]

whoa. utnow lives in Katy

[hummtide]

"getting great mileage!" LOL!

[bigJpapa]

I HATE HOUSTON TRAFFIC

[Urkel2762]

haha the middle guy is hilarious

[mybestyears]

Oh, I forget... I love all this comercial series that I found just cause Internet was "invented". So I salute you... all of us that makes this network happens :o)

[mybestyears]

And I used to feel bad about the rush hours in the bridge of Florianopolis Island, south of Brazil :)

[rarrbear]

"who're all these people?" haha nice

[Presto512]

LOL, I lived in Houston for a few years for school. After I graduated a huge factor why I didn't stick around was the traffic. I lived off of Westheimer and worked off of I59. It once took me 6 hours to go about 20 miles one Christmas Eve.

[ballintime07]

Houston...best city!

[iputamanonthemoon]

Oh come on, you don't know what traffic is until you come to SoCal. There's people here who have their middle finger stuck.

[GeneralOfAnegon]

If that's true, then why is the Southwest Freeway (US 59 in Houston) the busiest freeway in the country (by almost 20,000 vehicles/day)?

[iputamanonthemoon]

It all depends on what you consider to be traffic. Traffic isn't just how many cars drive by on a given day. You have to take into consideration the number of lanes, what percentage of the cars travel at the same time, and ease of entry/exit from the freeway. I think that if you take into account all of these things, Southern California is worst, not that I'm proud or anything.

[randarmax]

I've driven in SoCal and Houston. At least in SoCal the weather is not so humid you have to go home at lunch just to take a shower. ha ha. That's what makes traffic worse in Houston, sitting there sticky and sweaty just pokin' along in a stop and go nightmare.

[SkipicusMaximus]

Dude..I've heard of Houston!!!

[elspoko]

The dude on the right seems creepy. I think it's the wig and 1 earing.

[ultimatewrathfan]

i lived in huston once and i agree

[texasguy74]

I live in Houston!! No such thing as driving friendly here though haha

[Jay02denali]

DUDE...NO WAY..YOU LIVE IN HOUSTON?

[firetasteslikebacon]

dude i live in houston and there are about to do construction on 290 and it'll b a nigthmare T.T and very few ppl drive friendly in Houston (remember in Texas we don't carry guns b/c he have to... we carry them b/c we can!)

[ArrPeeGeefan]

Wow that's true, especially on I freaking 10

[meewok78]

maybe we should get some "drive friendly" signs in Los Angeles; they seem to work well in Texas....

[HunterMann]

Yes, my chauffer does get kinda irritated when traffic is at a stand-still...

[smellytwat]

Who knew that the singer from these ads was the singer from Survivor, they of "Eye of the Tiger" game?

[axxon90]

lol

[Taospark]

And I thought we had bad traffic in New York City.

[todd94]

dude its way worse here, half the people in NYC walk, everybody is too lazy here.

[xtya1201]

soooo true. thats why most of us are fat here. we are to lazy to walk. when you are stuck in houston trafic look to the left... you will see a fat guy eating a burger... look to the right.. you see a huge woman wishing she had a burger.

[ravendta]

I find it funny that he's urging Houston to crack open a Bud Light while driving. :P

[Ayersdawwgah]

lol @ that miami broad i-95 goes up the whole coast fucktard.. from here in boston to you in miami

[theguy1234567890]

haha gotta love that houston trafic. even when there is no accident we are still backed up. there is nothing like getting out of a trafic jam and finding out that it could have all been stopped by adding a light. any one who drives on spring stubner knows what im talking about.

[Trupolitik]

BWAHAHA!!!

"There are over 2 million cars in the city and at any given time, all of them are on Westheimer."

Tru.dat

[todd94]

definitely.

[MStiff726]

"Who are all these people?!?!?"

LOL!!!

[420CHICK]

i-95 .whooo hoooooo

miami babay

[0DW0]

Well I can;t say I live in houston but traffic I have been through, mostly 1 hour cause of car crashes on high way in FL every morning, if damage cause more 2 hrs. So I can barely relate to this (No bashing please)

[phorcysx]

It's so, so, so very true...

[xHitman408x]

lmao

[Maulwalker]

I didn't know a freeway could "represent," but "290 in the house!"

Can't wait to retire and move to the hill country!

[MarquisDan]

Is it possible for a commercial to sell out? I didn't think so, but this sure did prove me wrong.

[eljulian]

Holy Crap! Tooooo F'n Funny!!!!!!!!!!

[Mika20]

AHAHAHA!

Well, can't lie to that. It is pretty much true on traffic there. lol That's funny.

[O5fan]

Not only is this funny, but informative, because now I know I'm never going to Houston.

[jetdry04]

If it wasn't for the horrible traffic and weather, houston would be a great city.

[todd94]

whats so bad about the weather here?

[crashbug]

right on, I live here and I sit in my car 4 hours a day ( to and from work, the sad part is my work is just across the street).....AARRGGHH!!!!!!!

[todd94]

then walk.

[ounlop]

yeah because I can so walk from my house to school. And don't say take the bus or the subway because oh wait, Houston doesn't have a subway, our bus system sucks (If I want to go west 5 miles, first I have to go DOWNTOWN (20 miles SOUTH) then west another 30 miles, then back up.) For us, there's no CHOICE but to drive. =P

[todd94]

but you said it was across the street.

[carsonstudio]

I don't have legs.

[XxMySt3rI0Xx]

We need a NY traffic one lol that was good

[michellenstephens]

"Getting great mileage!" lol

[GeneralOfAnegon]

Actually, last time I checked, 59 Southwest is the busiest stretch of freeway in the country in volume per day.

[dudeguy06]

i didnt think about it but... it kinda seems like they want us to drink and drive lol crack open a beer for the road
