Helen Mirren Suggests Darwin Award for Drunk Drivers This Super Bowl Sunday

In a Budweiser commercial set to air this Sunday during Super Bowl 50, Actress Helen Mirren, “a notoriously frank and uncensored British lady,” offers a brutal tongue-lashing to those who choose to drive drunk — summoning Charles Darwin himself to intervene with one of those gene-ending awards he’s known for.

Hello. I’m Helen Mirren, a notoriously frank and uncensored British lady.

The collective “we” are dumbfounded that people still drive drunk, so I’ll sum it up like this. If you drive drunk, you — simply put — are a shortsighted, utterly useless, oxygen-wasting human form of pollution, a Darwin award-deserving selfish coward.

If your brain was donated to science, science would return it. So stop it.

Now, the chances are you’re a fun, solid, respectable human being. Don’t be a pillock.

Your friends and family thank you.

The friends and families of other drivers thank you.

Your future self thanks you.

This is supposed to be fun!

Cheers.

Nice and cold.

The commercial is part of Budweiser’s #GiveADamn campaign, with which the company promises to donate $1 to safe ride programs every time the hashtag is used until the end of Sunday.
