As the, entire U.S.A celebrates the Independence Day with barbecues and fireworks today, can you imagine how different life would be if the British had won and the 4th of July never happened?
New York-based agency Droga5 has created an ad campaign for beer brand Newcastle Brown Ale, titled “If We Won”, that imagines what the US would be like if it is still under the charge of Britain.
For instance, according to comedian Stephen Merchant, who appeared in one of several spots for the campaign, Americans would have “far greater comedy, news, TV programs and way better rude words” if they had lost the war—“Imagine how sophisticated you will sound when you are insulting someone.”
Watch this ad, and others from the “If We Won” series, below or on Newcastle Brown Ale’s YouTube channel.
Do you find these tongue-in-cheek ads funny, or do you think that they went a little too far?
