History Advertising / Wazzup

''Wazzup'' has been [[ShoutOut referenced]] and [[AffectionateParody parodied]] multiple times.

''Wazzup'' is a 2000 Budweiser Super Bowl [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzFWkYCWtog commercial]], the basic premise of which is a phone conversation wherein all speakers are enthusiastically shouting "WAZZUP!" at each other. At the end, one guy asks the first what is actually up, and he responds that he's "watching the game, having a Bud."

[[TimeSkip Eight years later,]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-B8_BjVGBQ much the same thing happens again,]] only this time it's a political advertisement, advocating [[UsefulNotes/BarackObama then-Senator Barack Obama.]] This one is notable for having a [[CerebusSyndrome much more serious tone since the last one,]] the general theme being how badly the previous eight years have been for the characters.

* CerebusSyndrome: The second commercial; Dukey's about to [[DrivenToSuicide kill himself,]] his bro is stuck out in Iraq, B is homeless and unemployed, the third friend is horribly injured, and the other guy is stuck out in a hurricane.

* SoulBrotha: Everybody!

* ShoutOut: Not the commercial itself, but:
** ''Film/ScaryMovie'' parodied it.
** The ''Idiot Box'' referenced it.
** And so did WebVideo/TheAnnoyingOrange.
** Frylock tries it in a 2010 episode of WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce, to no reaction. After a beat, he asks "is that 'out' now?"
** ''Series/{{Friends}}'' had Ross say it only for [[DiscreditedMeme Chandler to mock him for it]].

* ThePollyanna: Despite how badly the economic slump has treated them, most of the guys seem pretty damn happy.

* RuleOfFunny: Don't ask why there's a phone booth able to reach an American landline in the middle of the Iraqi desert, it's just there. The same goes for why a random dude is standing out in a hurricane, using a payphone to call his friends.
