Story | “Easy Night Out” follows a group of friends who unleash the Bud Light Genie from a bottle of Bud Light in their fridge while hanging out. The Bud Light Genie grants easy wishes, turning a basic night out into a series of epic adventures that include a ride to the bar in a stretch DeLorean with Bud Lights later magically appearing at every table. As the Bud Light Genie continues to grant wishes, the friends encounter a few fan-favorite personalities, with Peyton Manning becoming part of the best friend group, Post Malone hosting an epic backyard concert, and Dana White leading a weigh-in featuring one of the friends. |
