Beer Ads That Were Weirdly Edited Into 'Star Wars' For TV Are Getting Hilariously Roasted

A Chilean ad agency's commercials for Cerveza Cristal beer that were hilariously edited into the original 'Star Wars' movies when they aired in the early 2000s have recently resurfaced—and people are obsessed.

Product placement has been a vital part of movies for decades, but it's never been handled quite like it was in Chile back in the 2000s during a TV airing of Star Wars.

Rather than cut the movie to a commercial—like, you know, normal people would—beer company Cerveza Cristal instead edited their beer into scenes in the movie.


The results, which resurfaced on X, aka Twitter, are as hilariously weird as they are sound. See one of the moments below, edited into the scene when Luke Skywalker first meets Obi-Wan Kenobi. We promise you are truly not ready for what you are about to see.

That Cerveza Cristal jingle should just be a part of Star Wars forever from now on, as a tribute to what is absolutely inarguably the funniest thing to ever air on television anywhere in the world.

Except for this moment from Return of the Jedi where Palpatine enjoys a cool Cerveza Cristal before, you know, dying (temporarily anyway).

It may sound hard to believe, but these absurd ads won an at award at the prestigious Cannes International Advertising Festival. Which just makes the whole thing even more hilarious.

Anyway, obviously this immediately turned into a meme on Twitter. Of course, people edited Cerveza Cristal into myriad other Star Wars cinematic universe references.



But they didn't stop there. They edited it into basically every classic film of the last 50 years, like Ghostbusters.

(Personally, I'd have done "no Dana, only CERVEZA CRISTAL!" but that's just me.)

And Indiana Jones and the Temple of Cristal—er, Doom, rather.

And The Godfather.

And Seven.

And Pulp Fiction.

And even A Goofy Movie.

You know, most of the time the internet is a nightmare, but every now and then it justifies its existence with something truly beautiful. Thanks Internet! And Cerveza Cristal, of course.

Melania Just Held A Bizarre Press Conference To Debunk 'False Smears' Related To Jeffrey Epstein—And Everyone Had The Same Response

First Lady Melania Trump had everyone thinking the same thing after she held a bizarre press conference on Thursday to deny that she had anything but casual ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the late disgraced financier, pedophile, sexual abuser, and sex trafficker.

Mrs. Trump publicly denied any ties to convicted sex offenders Epstein and his procurer Ghislaine Maxwell, saying claims linking her to Epstein are “lies” meant to damage her reputation. She said she met her husband, President Donald Trump at a New York City party in 1998 and did not meet Epstein until 2000, contradicting a witness statement in the Epstein files that alleges Epstein introduced the couple.

Dem Rep. Sarah McBride Perfectly Shames Nancy Mace For Her Transphobic Response To McBride's Condemnation Of Trump

Delaware Democratic Representative Sarah McBride pushed back at South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace after Mace responded with transphobia to McBride's criticism of President Donald Trump's genocidal threat to kill the "whole civilization" of Iran.

Trump has insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.

Comedian Explains How Millennials' Midlife Crises Are Different From Past Generations—And He's Spot On

Don't make promises you cannot keep, unless your goal is to hurt someone.

Millennials know that practically better than anyone. They were fed a long and impassioned series of advice, hyper-focused on the importance of getting a college degree in order to find a good job. They were also force-fed traditionalist ideals of getting married, having kids, and buying a nice house with the money they'd be making from that great job, of course.
