"Wassup 2008" is a comedic political video posted to YouTube by 60Frames. The video is a parody of the Budweiser advertising campaign which aired on television in the early 2000s. The video stars the same actors as the original Budweiser commercial, except in the present time they are dealing with house foreclosures, military service in Iraq, hurricanes, tumbling stocks and expensive healthcare, compared to their past antics of "watching the game" and "drinking a Bud."
The conclusion of the video shows one of the men watching Barack Obama on television. He answers the question of "Wassup?" with "Change." as he expresses a hopeful smile.
