"Pro tip: When someone hands you a beer and asks if you're up for anything, say yes. \nThat's exactly what a random lucky dude named Ian Rappaport did in Bud Light's Super Bowl ad that dropped on Thursday. His reward was an epic night filled with limousines, bachelorette parties, Don Cheadle, Minka Kelly, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Reggie Watts and One Republic. \nAnd a llama. \nSee also: 'Aww' Is the Only Proper Reaction to This Budweiser Puppy Love Ad\nThe point of the almost 4-minute spot is to let consumers know that Bud Light is \"the perfect beer for whatever happens.\" \nThe ad was a risky move on the part of the beer company, since it had just one chance to film using 58 hidden cameras that captured Rappaport's excitement and experience as it was unfolding, Bud Light Vice President Rob McCarthy tells Mashable. \n\"We actually did film it with one other person,\" McCarthy says. \"They were both great, but Ian really embodied the 'up for whatever' spirit of the campaign.\" \nTwo condensed versions of the ad, a 30-second spot and a 60-second spot, will run during the Super Bowl broadcast on Sunday. But you'll have plenty of chances to re-watch: The company snatched up all the Google searches for \"Super Bowl ad\" this year, as well as several Google searches for several other advertisers.  \nHave something to add to this story?
