Original Takes for Orson Welles Wine Commercial

[CliffTheMeerkat]

I love how the actor dude sitting opposite Olson is trying to play it completely straight, but his expression betrays that he was obviously thinking "WTF?"

[arrisstuff]

Before long family guy will be ripping this off somehow.

[weezerpleaser18]

Back for my daily view.

[ghostfires]

at 1:09 he almost tips his chair over

[TheBearcub410]

POOR BUGGER 

[Tripo1iSamson]

I would so bang that hot grandma on the left there

[Stranglehold432]

''AAaaaaaa!''

[papabungle]

Press 4 for "sexcellence."

[MoPapparani]

everything here says wine...but he keeps talking about champagne

[zprodigy]

Who are gonna trust to sell you wine? Somebody SOBER?? nonsense.

[synclavier123]

At :56, the chick on the left isn't acting. She's reacting.

[monkeysoulpoet]

The guy was one of the best directors of all time. Remember him for that. Not this.

[jmarr100]

I think Orson sounds better this way. I've always wanted to see how this commercial is supposed to end.

[B19Dav3]

1.) Play the video.

2.) Hit the "CC" button that pops up on the lower right-hand corner.

3.) Hit "Transcribe Audio."

4.) Enjoy.

[fcampbell696]

Hey atleast he seems like a nice drunk.

[Dravenswraith]

lets go on even though hes drank up all the prop champagne, and the wine for the next commercial...yeah thats the ticket

[masonkim7]

0:34 "always celebrated for it's sexellence"

wait, what??

[savemst3k]

Six people who voted this down actually appear in this commercial,,

[neosoc]

Poor guy :(

[PaulWilliems]

press 7 for an old man whacking off

[DogAmongMen]

@PaulWilliems AAAaaaaah the french!

[Manthing32]

MuHaaa the french

[203207ab]

That guy pouring the wine spills the wine onto the table. I guess it is overlooked but that might have been another reason they decided to cut it there.

[DerSheinerSailor]

Press 7 for "myeeeahhhhh.. the french."

[writetome51]

I'm a big Orson Welles fan and that was the funniest thing I've ever seen.

[MyNameIsAnus]

I'm surprised there aren't more commercials like this... after all what's more likely to convince you that a drink is both delicious and going to get you wasted more, than watching a great author fumble for his lines through the glorious drunken haze?

They should've just used the outtakes, had Orson fall out of his chair at the end, then the name of the drink comes up.

Bam. Millions of wannabe writers, musicians and artists start glugging it as it's "Orson's drink". I'm a marketing genius.

[CS0Val]

Please don't kill me but he reminds me of the most interesting man in the world a bit.

[coolbluesinatra]

Orson sounds like hes sampled a few glasses.

[PufferBluntman]

@coolbluesinatra no shit, Sherlock :)))

[jamauln1]

0:24

Was that a stroke?

[Herv3]

At 1:12 he tries to pour some champagne, but Orson has already drank it all.

[popguru85]

"we will serve no wine before its time"

*sets clock forward*

"it's time"

*guzzles entire bottle

[kurbanovm]

Laughed my ass off ...)))

[Shankapotamus]

That guy on the left is a pro....

[Exccentrous1]

Yes, Rosebud chilled wine. Full of country goodness and red wininess.

[louisekraz]

What's with the Scottish accent, Orson?

[PufferBluntman]

@louisekraz being drunk doesn't count as a Scottish accent LOL

[vipercannonmafia]

Press 7 to discover who started the 100 years war.

[ThePantyDroper]

Keep pressing 9 for a beat boxing orson wilson

[Durwood71]

What could be more fitting than a drunk guy pitching a brand of wine?

[UniqueWeekend]

Press 7 you will see whats really happening there

[ThePantyDroper]

@UniqueWeekend lmao. good find

[hungryhippo247]

Mwwwaaaaaaa the French!

[WordoftheElderGods]

You know it's good when the actor pushing the wine takes some for himself.

[PufferBluntman]

@WordoftheElderGods yeah, that should've been the actual commercial!! Like - "see how Orson Welles, THE Orson Welles enjoyed our champaign he got too drunk to make a commercial! if such great actors let themselves to have an extra glass of this - you know it's good"

[jhhankins]

LMAOOO!!! It's lovely to know the great one would never endorse a product without giving it thorough sampling in advance.

[Kev95682]

You know, if I had made the greatest movie ever and later in life been reduced to making wine commercials, I would show up drunk too.

[PlayIt4MeAgainSam]

Isn't that the truth! I still think that he can sell anything he wants, with that voice of his, not to mention his talent!

[MaghoxFr]

@Kev95682 Fucking exactly.

[ElongatedVowels]

How do the other actors keep a straight face?

[DigitalTransfer]

777777+2,4 = Ahahahahahaahahahaaaaaaah the French sex.

[Toracube]

This is the only thing I have ever seen where I LOL every single time...

[allaboutdmagic]

And then he toddled off to voice Unicron...

[acer3573]

3 + 4 sorry :)

[acer3573]

2 + 4 = AHHHhhhhh the sexcellence.... :)

[acer3573]

A few too many takes...Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you're supposed to have real alcohol in the bottle when filming.... XD

[jeffgoldblumfanclub]

lol.

[huesodorado]

Press 7 repeatedly for Orson having a good time.

[Aquaman37]

keep pressing 7 to make orson jack it

[Epidemick]

Now I know why Orson Wells ate his fat ass to death.

[5ivepdx]

MaaaaHaaaaa, the French......................

[dtwhitney]

Repeatedly press 7 looking at the motion of his right hand.

[RudojiLape]

"Action Orson please."

"He doesn't do anything?"

[Shineyfighter]

Calibrated for its Excellence!

[xtraordinary92]

Press 7 for " huhaahhhh".

[SidNightWalker]

Action?What is...is that?!

[PoetsLight]

The woman is trying so hard not to laugh.

[MCFoltz]

How are these two actors not cracking up???? He's like the father of Golum.

[derubermax]

Press 7 fast and it looks like he's whackin it

[AERicco]

press 3 to knock some sense into Welles

[TheSlickAndroid]

I had a feeling someone had a little taste of the profits before shooting.

[skyscrapertheprince]

i literally cannot stop watching this... this is like the funniest thing ive ever seen lmao

[MrBillcale]

pathetic

[TheEmperorofthevoid]

5 people went to A.A.

[KairuHakubi]

Ahhhhhh theeeehh frennnchhhhhchampagne

[UIWWildthing]

Holy **** was he smashed

[stickshaka]

This is a great accompaniment to Rosbud Frozen Peas

"Full of country goodness & green pea-ness"

/watch?v=IH1PJTY9AVA

[mariusvanrhijn]

How the hell are those people keeping a straight face?

[DollarTaco]

@mariusvanrhijn that is called ACTING~!

[radytorres]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhh, thhhhee French Champagne!

[squidmax1]

Orson Welles: a real life Dr. Steve Brule.

[flaurosan]

he acts like the french champagne scared the crap out of him

[QueenAnime99]

@flaurosan OMG that is a brilliant theory. It's like the champagne is holding him hostage and he's trying to act normal.

[WinstonSmith6079]

@flaurosan More like he loved it a bit way too much LOL

Yeah, he sure loved that product! LOL AHAHAHAHAHA!

[M30W3R]

He didn't make the jug disappear.

[Typhoon860]

HAHAHA!!

[SsnakeBite]

You know, had they been clever, they would have just broadcast these takes and added the line "French Champagne, so good Orson Welles gets drunk on it!"

[zzman305]

Mhahaaa the French champagin 

[HollywoodWags]

That one guy on the left must be a Ken Doll...

[M0DEAN]

@HollywoodWags I don't know how he and the girl maintained composure.

[RLhockey203]

lol in this orsen welles reminds me of my uncle mad

[kwbdwino78]

Paul Masson appears to be some good hooch! I'll be sure to pick up a bottle this Friday. If I end up on an episode of Cops running naked down the street with a bottle of Paul Masson then you'll know it's good bubbly. Good times, good times.

[ManateeExpress]

mraaaaaahaaaaaaa........

[epsteinsmutha1]

3 + 7 for maximum Orson.

[olly3663]

The two on the left deserve medals for holding it together through this tragedy.

She desperately wants to laugh and he just looks terrified.

[dialF4flipit]

@olly3663 The funny thing is that up until the point that this comment was put up, I never concentrated on the two people on the left :S

[Cartoonz123hype]

Look at that little finger go

[stark184]

feels like he is just winging it the whole time. hilarious

[dkupke]

And now, for a little magic, I will make this French champagne disappear

[TheSlevinCalevra]

I'm dying. Oh fuck my sides hurt.

[fcampbell696]

This always makes me laugh and it picks me up when I'm having a bad day.

[acceptthis01]

I think he made too many bottles of Blotto Bros. disappear during filming.

[Sasukebayo]

keep pressing 7 hahaha

[diddeliduddi]

I love it when he starts twitching his finger at the first MMMYYYYAAAAARGH THE FRENCH and so on... :)

[PerpetualApocalypse]

Press 4 for 'sexcellence'.

[beesfeet]

The actress on the left looks like she's about to crack up in every take.

[eruption257]

mahaaaaaaa the french. champagne is always known for it's excellence.

[asheive]

5 people didn't get paid that day when working on this commercial.

[Koops2245]

THE FREEEENCH, DA FREEAAAANCHE

[Athils]

How do those people not crack up?

[wwparks08]

its hermented in the bottle!! Classic, would like to know more about this session and what people were saying about his third take...mmmwwwwaaaahhh the french!!!!

[TheCrimsonsGhosts]

Best Damn Wine Commercial Ever! 

[daven58100]

Looks like the folks in the background are telling each other "My god, he's shit-faced".

[OrisLover]

"Ders a Kalyfornya wyne...". Too funny!

[OrisLover]

Look at the male actor holding the bottle!  He looks so traumatized by what's going on.

[dtwhitney]

My favorite part is the tremulous, second "mmmyyaahhhuh."

[ControlTheSpice]

@dtwhitney it's fantastic

[MrBlamAlmighty]

we will sell no wine before its time

[bluechipmurray]

The woman is VERY pretty

[bobbydowns]

They're at a shitty party

[AngelofMusic04]

I guess Orson had about $15 worth of Blotto Bros. Wine before the commercial.

[asheive]

I love 0:44 where he leans back and shuts one eye to read the cue cards. You can't see that in the lower resolution versions.

[h4rv3st]

Best Marlon Brando impression ever! :)

[asheive]

Yes, Rosebud frozen peas ... full of country goodness and green pea-ness.

[bivmvideo]

Wow. what's really hilarious are the two actors on the side maintaining some sort of composure.

[jude7265]

Myahhahaaaa, the French!

[Gasoline85]

Mwaahaaaaa, the french...

[HollywoodHillsCookie]

Wow...the actors with him are pros, and somehow keep a straight face.

[lynth]

I definitely would buy the product that way!

That guy likes his champaign so much he actually got drunk on it!

[swifterthenu227]

Free samples anyone?

[SkullFilms]

why they keep doing the commercial?, he is so wasted.

[cochranexyz]

Was he really drunk or was he really old? He was on the downhill....

[Drunkihorse]

@cochranexyz What do you think? He's obviously tanked out of his skull in these outtakes.

[cochranexyz]

@cochranexyz What do I think? Was he really drunk or really old, that's what I think.

[brmoogma]

i am sure, he got a bottle for free...mmmmmmaaaaaaaaaagh

[silvergirlie]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh orson welles! i love you!

[MrSkipjack1971]

Watch the woman trying to keep from laughing :50 -1:00. She does a great job but you can tell she wants to laugh.

[krimskrams]

kaputt! :D

[gspendlove]

Love how, in take 2, he taps the bottle.  Then in take 3, he just sort of fingers it. This is the funniest thing I've ever seen; it made my Xmas Eve.

[nuclearbox2]

LMAO

[ghostwhiskey]

he was starting to look like raymond burr

[jamasianman]

She smiles at 0:35

[rqbuchanan]

This is what happens when a once-great theatrical and cinematic genius pisses what's left of his ruined career away on booze and mountains of food, waiting to die.

As much as I love Wells, I love the hilarious product of his failure, too.

[CheezeFox]

Hell, you could have shown this anyway and it would have sold- "This stuff is so good, Orson Welles got himself too drunk to film the commercial."

[culturaleyes]

I wonder, if you watch this drunk, would Orson Welles seem normal?

[thefatkid77]

@culturaleyes I'm drunk, and no. He doesn't seem normal, just very very funny.

[KethamBodds]

@culturaleyes remind me to check.

[ghostwhiskey]

@culturaleyes ive tried and sadly,no no he doesnt

[MrUnidyne]

This is what happens when you let the pitchman sample the product.

[southsydney]

Talkradar bought me here. I <3 you TalkRadar

[wilcox24]

his true masterpiece...not Citizen Kane

[NickBoettcher]

I agree with Chris Antista, it sounds like Orson Welles is trying to haunt somebody. 'AAAAAAAAAAAAAH, the french"

[southsydney]

@NickBoettcher VIVA TALKRADAR!

VIVA ANTISTA!

[darrellkaiser11285]

So, did they ever get a good take?

[AdventurousPutty]

0:51 EPIC

[EricLynchSucks]

They probably paid millions of dollars for this.

[marcsman229]

@EricLynchSucks no shit, dumbass. how do you live with yourself every single day knowing that you're incredibly dull and illiterate? just imagine what your parents must be like. fucking disgusting inbred fucks. don't even bother replying with a LAME comeback. i always win on youtube. whatever you say AUTOMATICALLY makes me a winner. go ahead and feed me you PATHETIC ignoramus.

[EricLynchSucks]

@marcsman229 Um...Ok. Ill try to deal with this while Im driving down the road in my new 2011 Ford Explorer. I guess the only thing thatll keep me going, you know since youre so much better than me, is my 60,000 dollar a year job and my girlfriend that gives me sex whenever I want. Of Course when shes not on her period. But yeah...I mean youre are so much better than me. Keep fighting the good fight of the flame war dude. I have a feeling I could never keep up with you.

[marcsman229]
