Obviously not a "real" commercial. The original version of this commercial aired endlessly on Baltimore television during the 1980 and someone has fucked with it, ever so seamlessly. posted by dhammond at 1:50 AM on January 13, 2007
I think that is very funny. What does that say about me? Don't answer that question... posted by wsg at 2:05 AM on January 13, 2007
I like it. I don't know why. It kinda makes me proud to have lived in Baltimore. I would probably go there, if only for a test drive and pistol-whipping. posted by donkeymon at 2:11 AM on January 13, 2007
I'm gonna come right out and admit it. I laughed. I laughed a lot. It's almost ridiculous how much I laughed at that. posted by flapjax at midnite at 2:20 AM on January 13, 2007
Ahem. It's "Bawlmer." posted by bardic at 3:51 AM on January 13, 2007
I don't know why it's funny, either. But it really is! posted by Mayor Curley at 6:08 AM on January 13, 2007
That was great on so many levels.

I thought I was the meanest son of a bitch in the state of Maryland. Maybe they'll give me a job, but if they don't, I'll rip their nuts off. posted by nj_subgenius at 6:33 AM on January 13, 2007 [1 favorite]
I laughed. I laughed a lot at the bounced check bit for some reason I'm not even going to try to figure out. posted by Cyrano at 7:09 AM on January 13, 2007
I knew a guy in college in 1990 (+/- 1) that had a copy of this on the VHS. posted by ROU_Xenophobe at 7:10 AM on January 13, 2007

I liked the OP's video, but honestly I can't stop laughing at the Winnebago Man. posted by Brak at 2:38 PM on January 13, 2007
I laughed, then I felt bad for laughing, then I played it again and laughed. No fake commercial thread would be complete without the Girl's Costume Warehouse. posted by TungstenChef at 2:58 PM on January 13, 2007
If only Winnebago Man could have known that the future of mass video distribution was YouTube, he may not have been so pissed about those flies that no one can see. posted by itchylick at 6:25 PM on January 13, 2007
Man, oh man, that was fantastic! I grew up going on camping trips with a backpack and a tent with my beloved dad, but somehow I was ever so jealous of the neighbor kids whose father had a Winnebago. Me and dad would take our week off to hike and sleep in the woods while the neighbor dad would spend an entire summer using bad language trying to get his camper to run. It defined our summers; from the emergence of the spring peepers until the migratory geese flew past us honking the end of the summer camping season, we could mark the time by the nocturnal clanking of wrenches and manly swear-words of our neighbor trying to cure his camper of mysterious mechanical ailments such as vapor lock and low compression. For all this, for just one magical week the neighbor kids got to ride to a campground with a swimming hole and a laundry facility that made it all seem worth the build-up; it was enough to make me green with envy. But I see now that a good pair of boots and backpack make for a better time when weighed against the Winnebago.

Are you sure that was fake? posted by peeedro at 8:56 PM on January 13, 2007
