Transcript:
PIg: Have you seen those 'Most Interesting Man in the World' Dos Equis ads? Goat: Of course. Why? Rat: Because I am the most interesting comic strip character in the world. Goat: Why did I know that was coming? Rat: Stay laughing, my friend.
Rat’s bloated ego may lead him to think he is the most interesting comic strip character in the world, but there are numerous worthy—nay, worthier—competitors.
Amusing trivia…The actor who plays the most interesting man in the world played a redshirt in the original Star Trek episode “The Corbomite Maneuver”, and survived.
Actually the X’s date back to moonshine. The shiners would inscribe one x for everytime the shine was ran through the still, and each time it was filtered, it left behind whatever yeast residue was left behind before. The more filtering, the stronger the shine, and the more x’s you have.
I see I don’t miss much not having television. And sorry rat, you can’t hold a candle to Earl and Mooch, or our new friend Snow! Or Larry’s parents – sure hope they come back for a visit.

Last month I bought a twelver of Dos Equis Amber that was tainted with some awful-tasting chemical. It didn’t taste like beer.

Those ads are among the most repulsive ever. A gum wrapper is more interesting than that jag.

I love those commercials – when else do you see somebody who looks over 40 in a TV commercial?

Number Three over 12 years ago
You’re the most annoying and rude comic strip character in the world, Rat.
But the strip would be rubbish without you.
LOL xxx

He doesn’t laugh often, but when he does, it’s because someone lost an eye, and he has a beer to celebrate.
Vonne Anton over 12 years ago
In Australia, they have a beer called “XXXX” (4 X).-They say it’s because Aussies can’t spell “beer”.

THE most interesting comic strip character was, is now, and always will be, Krazy Kat!
TooMuchSciFi over 12 years ago
It’s interesting to know…that Dos Equis Man was an uncredited redshirt on the original Star Trek episode “The Corbomite Maneuver”. He LIVED.

I’ve never tasted the stuff, but the way it smells it can’t be any good.
marshalljpeters Premium Member over 12 years ago
I enjoy PBS for the most part, but this strip didn’t make any sense to me. Might be because I’ve never seen the ad.
Drewdove over 12 years ago
That dos equis guy looks like someone semi-cleaned up a homeless bum of Santa Monica Blvd. My guess is he’s smelly and sticky to the touch.
Rickapolis over 12 years ago
I didn’t think Rat had any friends.

re “Sorry, but ALL beer tastes like rancid Apple Juice that has been filtered through a camel at least once…YUCK!!”,
and what made you arrange that?
Carl Rennhack Premium Member over 12 years ago
@SherlockWatson—Pogo’s on my Top Ten list, but my heart lies in Kokonino Kounty!

I don’t believe I’ve ever seen the commercial and had to Google the name to learn what it is.
fmasroor over 12 years ago
I just arbitrarily started laughing.
