Spuds MacKenzie was the original party animal - that women adored. The fictional dog made his debut in a Bud Light beer commercial during the Super Bowl in 1987. Spuds appeared in a series of commercials and became a marketing sensation.

Long after the ads dried up, Spuds MacKenzie lives on in our pop culture through references on The Simpsons and The Family Guy.Let's hear it for the “Ayatollah of Partyollah!”  Learn more about your ad choices.
