The Bud Light commercial about astronomers is astoundingly accurate.  Details they get right include:

  • we like celebrating just about anything, good or bad
  • we drink beer in large groups
  • we sometimes make mistakes but, hey, that's science
  • playing with fire extinguishers is fun
  • science chicks are hot (seriously... brains, cuteness and ability to stay up late = win!)

In fact, in the whole 30 seconds, there's only two details they got wrong.  The first is I can't think of any astronomers who actually drink Bud Light.  Sorry.  And the second, well, modesty forbids me from pointing it out.  Overall, spot on, Budweiser!
