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.

Fox News Host Apologizes After His Suggestion That Homeless People Be Euthanized Sparks Outrage

Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade was criticized for suggesting that homeless people with mental health issues get "involuntary lethal injection" after the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a train in North Carolina—and was swiftly condemned for an insincere apology several days after the fact as many are calling for Fox News to terminate his contract.

Zarutska was stabbed to death at the East/West Boulevard station on the Lynx Blue Line in Charlotte last month; her killer, a homeless man with a history of mental health issues, has since been charged with first-degree murder.

Nancy Mace Just Tried To Claim She's Never 'Dehumanized' Her Colleagues—And The Internet Brought The Receipts

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was called out for hypocrisy after she claimed on CNN that Democrats in Congress have been "dehumanizing" Republicans, a move she would "never" do—despite her record of doing just that.

Speaking to anchor Katie Bolduan while the search for the suspect who killed far-right activist Charlie Kirk was ongoing, Mace objected to Bolduan's observation that she was using "us v. them" language, only saying that things are "very one-sided right now." She also suggested that the situation is so bad for her that she's actually afraid of "just walking out in public."
