To the commenters saying this isnt a good Orson Welles impression, did you see the clip that inspired this? Even Welles didnt sound like Welles in that footage. I think this is a very broad, hilarious impression! "Tasty indeed!"
There is just one thing about this video that annoys me: "like the best French spirits". It's not just that the original is "like the best French Champagne", but that Champagne is not a spirit, as it is not distilled, only fermented.
Thanks for the great parody. My dad took us to the original commercial and got a kick out of that - watching it over and over - then we stumbled across his drunken version and watched that about 10 times! haha ~ then we took a chance watching yours and just busted up even more than the original. Thanks you guys and gals!!!! For making our night! We even replayed it again this morning. haha ~ party on
The genius of Orson Wells was to do liquor commercials slightly drunk. It was HIS idea to sell the product..OK! First takes were right on. Directors who wanted take after take after take didn't get it and ruined it. Any out take would show Orson frustrated at incompetent directors who made it work instead of the FUN it was supposed to be. Love the Man!
@mj7den See, that sort of backfired -- with Paul Masson at least.
When he said on a talk show that he had never even tried Paul Masson, combined with the fact that he couldn't even come to a Paul Masson shooting sober, it sort of makes Paul Masson look like crap. Ya know what I mean? Think about it. The endorser who can't stay sober for the endorsement doesn't even drink what he's endorsing!
Every one involved in this deserves to be heralded as new kings of comedy. Why don't they have a show yet? I laughed so hard I nearly pissed my pants. This is real talent -somebody give them a show a la the old Second City Television. Kudos to all involved in this!! You made my day!!!
Watch it twice. First time it's Orson, the guy net to him and the director who makes you laugh. Second time pay attention to the guy in the background, right behind Orson.
This was hilarious... but so poignant that it was almost painful to watch, why? because it was so true, you guys represented his depression and his sense of humor
Hard for me to admit but this was really really funny! Nothing like the orginal but stuff like, "ahhh, the French, the French", and that roasted Chicken on his fat sausage fingers had me rolling. Great job.
Mmaaaahhhhhaaahh! The French!!! There is a California sssssssssssshhhhhhhhhampain...there's not enough money!!! He's right!!! Mmaaahhhhaaahh! The French!!!!
I thought this was going to be dumb but it actually is pretty funny... Nice job
