Remember the “Wassup” guys?

Remember the “Wassup” ad campaign from ‘99-’02 that Budweiser had been running, featuring (and created by) Charles Stone III? Well, the guys are back, and making a statement about our country, the economy, and even the planet while sharing their support for Barack Obama. Props to Todd Defren for posting about it earlier (proving that Twitter is crazy amazing, yet again). Check the spot below, put together through the 60frames crew and the original cast.


 
The vid is only showing 336 views as of right this exact second, but I expect that’ll change. What do you think about the spot?

[update] As of about 11am Eastern on Saturday morning, the video has about 358K views to date – that’s quite a bit, but I’m definitely surprised that it’s not more. Let’s see what the weekend holds for it.
