Ten Real Men of Genius made it out on a temperate Tuesday morning to honor and provide a Natty Lite salute to Mr. Silent Killer Gas Passer. The universal truth of whoever smelt it, dealt it was unequivocally proven to be true. Here is how it dropped.

Real Men of Genius is a series of advertisements, primarily 60-second American radio spots, for Bud Light beer. The campaign began in 1998 under the title Real American Heroes. The singing was done by Dave Bickler, the lead singer of the band Survivor, known for such songs as "Eye of the Tiger" from the 1980s. The humorous, yet seriously spoken, commentary was done by voice actor Peter Stacker. Each sixty-second ad gives mock glorification in the form of a tribute to men in overlooked professions or with humorous or eccentric traits or habits. The language is very observational in style, in part parodying Budweiser's earlier This Bud's for You campaign. The advertisement is set to 1980s style anthemic music. The announcer (Pete Stacker) reads the mock tribute straight. Humor in part is derived from juxtaposing over-the-top vocals sung by Dave Bickler. Sometimes these vocals are augmented by a female gospel-style chorus. In addition to providing humor, the music is an effective jingle.

Some of the TV spots included a focus on random manly jobs and traits such as "Mr. Horsedrawn Carriage Driver", "Mr. Nudist Colony Activities Coordinator", "Mr. Pro Wrestling Wardrobe Designer", "Mr. Really Bad Toupee Wearer", "Mr. Foot-Long Hot Dog Inventor", "Mr. Grocery Store Cart Wrangler", "Mr. Way Too Much Cologne Wearer", "Mr. Wedding Band Guitar Player", "Mr. Male Football Cheerleader", "Mr. Giant Taco Salad Inventor", and "Mr. Really, Really, Really Bad Dancer".

In mid-2001, Anheuser-Busch ordered another 17 Real American Hero ads be made. These ads were pulled from circulation after the 9/11 attacks as mocking American heroism then seemed questionable. The campaign relaunched in 2002 with the title and lyrics changed from Real American Heroes to Real Men of Genius.

Mr. Silent Killer Gas Passer is actually a real commercial. Ninja of the nasty indeed

This is quite the public service we are providing in this here forum

Great to see 704 come out for the workout after falling in the shower and breaking his hip. He came prepared and was expecting a reenactment of the Mr. Silent Killer Gas Passer commercial. Q was sorry to disappoint, but was more sorry that his pre-game Chimichanga and bean burrito combo platter was all for not

10 Pax and 4 benches make for 2 ½ Pax per bench. But since Swamp Thing found a plastic time out chair near the garden to use, we only had one ménage a trois (i.e., 3 Pax on a bench) needed. Ginsu is apparently no stranger to this. Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir? (aka, Itchi gitchi ya ya da da)
-
Q was Hoping for eight in the Pax to go nicely with four benches, but we made do. Q clearly needs to start thinking bigger

Panther game on Sunday, with the ugliness of play and heat levels involved at the stadium, made a strong case for watching it in comfort of ones home
-
Grip and El Tigre really got the step up timing and choreography down on their bench. Putting their arms around each other’s waist during the exercise seemed a bit much tho
-
Note to self and other Pax. Never take Freddy Mercury as an exercise early in a Mary circle when Ginsu has not gone yet. Whenever that happens, Burpees ensue. Which then causes Jean Val Jean epithets to be spewed
-
Here’s to that "Real Men of Genius" jingle ringing in your head all day
-
If you see a first responder on the scene in a hazmat suit, look for the telltale signs of a duck walk
-
Grip could use the Rosetta Stone for xmas, as he ended up jumping the count ahead a few times when the various forms of metric style counting got around to him
-
That was really fun. It's an honor and a privilege
