Red Bull has established itself as a drink to help revitalize the body and mind, but the Red Bull Jesus commercial may revitalize some people's opinion of the energy drink company. Red Bull Jesus is an online ad that features a comically drawn Jesus getting out of a boat and walking on water.
The irony about this online ad that will surely garner many criticism and most likely become banned, is that it never implies Jesus uses Red Bull. Instead, the 30 second ad implies that Jesus is just smart and doesn't need stimulants. However, whenever religion and jokes are paired there’s bound to be certain audience members who get offended. Either way, the Red Bull Jesus ad will increase awareness of the brand for the popular energy drink company.
