Why did they turn the Bud Light King character into such a loser?

The Dilly Dilly commercials were kinda dumb, but they were original and memorable.
Then they made fun of the craft cider type neck beards by having the king as just a non-pretentious Bud Light drinker. Fair enough. Cheap domestic mass-produced beer had been much maligned lately, so a little fighting back seemed amusing.
But now, with this Platinum product, they seem intent on making the king look like an idiot.
Can some marketing major explain this strategy? It seems counterintuitive.

He drinks Bud Light,, he already was a loser
So your theory is that these commercials are actually produced by the micro-brewers collective?

Because he's a white male. All white males on commercials are losers.

They made fun of people for caring about the products they buy instead of mindlessly buying cheap generic shite
so you really didn't think he was already an idiot?

Bud Light is the piss-beer choice of losers.

You’re talking about it. They succeeded.

I don’t drink Bud Light, and the commercials don’t influence me.
But I’m wondering why Bud Light is paying big bucks to sully their own ad campaign character.
You may not be the type of guy to drink Bud Light, but can you tell me who would be swayed to drink the stuff after watching this douchebag king?

A heterosexual white male, at that. Big no no in today’s pop culture.

You seem really invested in this Bud Light king.

Ha! No. Just curious about marketing since it’s not my field.
They run that commercial constantly while watching the NFL.

What about when they straight up murdered the Bud Light knight during the super bowl? That was traumatic.

Who was swayed to drink the stuff after the dilly dilly commercials?
These commercials aren't to convince people to drink Bud Light, it's just to remind people who already drink Bud Light that they should go drink more Bud Light
