Does Cheney have a salesman in the family?

A very frustrated RV salesman. Nothing deep here, just a few laughs. (NSFW - language) via themorningnews.org

Well, he's not an RV salesman, he's an actor making some sort of sales or industrial film. But he's damn frustrated. Really, really, frustrated. But I bet the crew was more frustrated than he was. At him.

So good. So very similar to the Casey Kasem outtakes, but still merits an FPP. Good find!

btw, I gotta ask, what the fuck was this guy thinking when he fucking showed up for fucking work that day? Why was he so fucking preoccupied? Was his fucking wife fucking the fucking milk man or fucking what? Fuck.

Well, he's not an RV salesman, he's an actor making some sort of sales or industrial film I'm not so sure about that... at one point he says something like "I wrote this shit you'd think I'd be able to say it" or something similar. I got the impression that it was a Winnebago executive of some sort, because frankly, only an executive would be capable of being such an infantile prick. What fun. Reminds of an outtake from a Bing Crosby recording of "Wrap your troubles in dreams", although he sings his frustrations out... "They cut out 2 bars, those dirty bastards, didn't tell me which bars they were gonna cut, Holy Christ why doesn't somebody tell me these things around here, I'm going off my nut..." Anyone else heard that? I've found some references to it, but no audio.

That "Touching People" shit is fucking sadistic as hell, but, yeah, some of it is quite funny. Anna Nicole: "You wanna fuck me? Well, fuck this." Bang! Comedy gold.

Wow, this guy sounds like me talking to my computer, only much much more relaxed.

Personally I got the impression that this guy is probably a dealer and doing a local commercial for his dealership. Could be wrong though.

Double post (it's the "really" link) Kind of. Sort of. Ok, not really, there was no way to discover this by searching and the previous post didn't contain the whole thing. Those Viceland clips are still some of the funniest videos I've ever seen, that hippie with the phallic staff gets me in stitches every time.

Viceland calls him the CEO of Winnebago - which shouldn't be that hard to check, if you have...google-fu.

By: TungstenChef

I checked. It isn't the current CEO, but I couldn't find out how long he had been CEO. The video looks like it was made in the early 90's or late 80's, definitely before the net, so figuring out if he's the former CEO would be difficult.

I think the guy is a freelance producer/talent type or who owns or runs the production company doing the work. Behavior like this is very common on sets and particularly when the talent thinks the whole project is somehow below him or the client or project has been a huge pain. Working as an editor, I've seen many things like this. One of the most amazing, on a par with this, were takes I saw with Lorne Greene when he was doing a piece for the vacation timeshare industry. Very, very foul. I never thought of him as a sweet old man after that. Another was a audio session with Orson Welles.

I love how he sounds just like Eddie Murphy's Stereotypical Uptight White Guy. Classic.
