A hilarious parody ad was recently shared to X, showing President-elect Donald Trump defeating a Bud Light knight in a jousting match, serving as a metaphor for the broader political realignment after the results of the 2024 election. Following Trump’s landslide victory, in which he was given a mandate by the American voters, many have seen this is as an outright rejection of progressive, woke politics.
The video begins with a knight donning blue armor with the Bud Light logo on his chest, mounting his horse, and being handed his shield bearing the Democratic Party logo. As the woke knight readies up, the camera pans over to Joe Biden, portrayed as king, sitting on a throne beside transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney, both holding a Bud Light in their hand. The duo gives a thumbs-up to the knight, wishing him luck.
Further setting the scene, a row of trumpeters blow their horns with transgender flags extending from the instruments. However, as the Bud Light knight’s opponent enters the arena, Joe Biden’s expression turns to that of concern. Moreover, a stake in the ground delineates the opponents, representing “communism” and the “free world.”
The dueling knights then charge each other, kicking off the joust. Much to the dismay of Biden and Mulvaney, the Bud Light knight is decisively defeated, with his opponent’s lance striking him dead-center in the chest, knocking him to the ground. As the crowd gasps in shock, the opposing knight walks over, revealed as none other than President-elect Donald Trump, who ends the Bud Light knight’s life before Joe Biden’s horrified eyes.
Immediately, a “MAGA” dragon flies overhead, sending the crowd into a frenzy, fleeing as they clutch their bottles of Bud Light. President Biden stares at the dragon in shock as it rears up to unleash its fiery breath, which is depicted as destroying the Bud Light logo, the transgender flag, the Antifa logo, the Democratic Party’s logo, Communist China’s logo, and the Ukrainian flag respectively.
As the MAGA dragon continues to cause chaos and drive all the vestiges of wokeness into hysteria, the ad concludes with Donald Trump smirking beside a can of Bud Light. The outrageously funny parody received a wave of reactions from conservatives in the comments section who couldn’t get enough of the clip, laughing at its brilliant creativity.
The depiction of Trump defeating wokeness as a valiant knight alongside the fiery retribution of MAGA Republicans as mythical winged beast is a perfect metaphor for what occurred earlier this month in the president-elect’s landslide defeat of Vice President Kamala Harris. Some commentators have interpreted the election as a clear rejection of progressive, social-oriented identity politics and call for the Democratic Party to reevaluate its strategy to represent the interests of the American people.

Watch the parody below:
The American Tribune recently reported on Bud Light’s efforts to woo back customers it lost after the disastrous collaboration with Dylan Mulvaney in 2023. Now, the beer maker has pivoted its advertising strategy to cater to normal Americans, with the latest commercial featuring the famous comedian Shane Gillis addressing the trend of strange advertisements.
