Santo Gold TV auction featuring "Blood Circus"

[Tigercat919]

I've always wondered what it is about Italian gold that makes it so special.

[timharrod]

Someone please find every frame of TV and video that this man has ever produced.

[GodsDJ]

Good luck to you and your ambulance chasing lawyer, you no-talent hack.

[sanjhunt]

I love it. It's like, hey, we gotta sell all this crap we got lying around so's we can buy some more coke and speed. And maybe a bit o acid as well. Or whatever they got.

[licoricesnocone]

where the hell is the rest of the 10 hrs of infomercial?

[licoricesnocone]

They don't make em' like this anymore.....maybe thats a good thing.

[Tigercat919]

Did he just say "Disney" in three syllables?

[Dablkwid0w2008]

Yo They had a whole "gold" chain set A WHOLE GOLD CHAIN SET! Ropes herringbones, chains, charms everything..and if you put it on your neck would probably turn every shade of Santo Green LMAO!!

[bignasty4547]

i thought this was a Saturday night live skit !!!!

[michael08huff]

I remember this guy. It's so ridiculous, I have to wonder if he knew how ridiculous he actually was. Does he actually think he's being cool? There's no way. I have to wonder. It's like the ultimate dimensions in tacky.

[DoktorSick]

I remember watching this as kid back in the 80s I wondered was this a show or what ? LOL

[XSC3]

@DoktorSick totally. I wondered who took this seriously, weirdest tv ever

[AlexSpalex1]

This guy's like the Tommy Wiseau of the 80's.

[n2uhc]

I remember watching the Santo Gold informercial when I was a teenager. IIRC, it came on late at night after SNL and wrestling went off. My friends & I used to make fun of it.

[XSC3]

I remember this... man, what a cheese fest! I thought it was a joke... who would buy this nonsense?

[WelteringInBlood]

SIX! LETHA WALLEH!

[dugaldmatt]

red jacket: toby keith

[trailsanddeer]

red jacket: PCP

[mastashaker916]

I didn't know that Anton did infomercials.

[uncleroyhoggins]

Cocaine...definitely played a part in this.

[tachoX2]

How did I miss out on this in the 80's. Classic...

[CymbaI]

@YoNoEntiendo Tick Tock.

[Brillemeister]

This is a surreal experience...

._ _.

[benjaminshinobi]

this is amazing.

[loincloth200]

cocaine

[iaintgonletup]

So this is the douche that's trying to sue

"SANT-I-GOLD".

[DoktorSick]

i remember watching hours of this when i was kid lol.

[jawbreak99]

My brothers band was signed to WB and their CD gets released this Fall.They called the album "BloodCircus Nightmare" and have a song on it called "The return of Santo Gold". I never understood what any of this meant till I came across this stuff. To funny.

[Ceeeeez]

okay GENIUS... well "Santi" knew who the fuck Santo Gold was... and she stole the name. There's video of her SAYING that's where she got the name.

So if I steal your name... and I *know* I'm stealing it... and I *admit* to stealing it... and then you, the rightful owner, sue me... I should shut the fuck up and pay. And so she did... she shut the fuck up and paid.

Now she can go back to making music that sounds like two chimps banging trashcan lids together.

[StregaMagdalene1975]

I undersand your explanation. But why be so angry & spiteful sounding. Saying "Santigold blows", calling her a "ho", the "chimps smashing trashcan lids" , etc. Y'know, you can explain things in a nice polite fashion without insulting her or anyone else. Do you know her personally? Is she a music rival? I can understand your explaning about "copyright infringement"...but why all the venom? Look, I don't know her from atom, but remember. MEAN PEOPLE SUCK! So please, be nice. Anger is for the weak.

[Ceeeeez]

Lady, seriously... you're offended? Anger is not for the weak... stupidity and ignorance is for the weak. The generation coming up now know NOTHING about the past, their history, their country's history... and NOR DO THEY CARE. They come to YouTube and bash SantoGold because he made their favorite singer change her name. They don't bother to consider that maybe their idol was the one in the wrong. Why? Because they're self-centered and preoccupied with all their gadgets and bullshit.

[Ceeeeez]

Even you are wrong and too preoccupied to look up the facts. The man didn't cheat tons of people. I believe he was indicted for cheating 7 people. Either way, he was no saint and he sold cheap crap. He was a huckster... but no matter, he invented the name and he deserves the credit for it. My issue is with the artist who felt it was okay to use the name. And why? Because she's just another young person exhibiting the same self-centeredness endemic of the rest of the young populace.

[Ceeeeez]

And furthermore... NO... I am not necessarily mean but this topic set me off. However, I do take exception to your notion that being mean leads to war, crime, bigotry, etc. This latest war wasn't about being mean... it was about defending ourselves. Crime is usually not about being mean, its about economics. And bigotry is usually about ignorance. But I wouldn't expect you to understand that. I'm sure in your world there's just black and white... good or bad. Nuance is probably lost on you.

[Ceeeeez]

People who say things like "Anger is for the weak" are really ill equipped to handle any type of serious pressure. Anger can be a gift, lady. Anger is a tool. Anger is motivation. Anger can be a very positive force although I'm sure you have NO idea how it could be.

Righteous anger can change the world- for the better.

But to conclude: mean people might suck... but nice people blow. Anyone I see passing me in traffic with a "Mean people suck" bumper sticker gets rammed right into a guard rail!

[michael08huff]

@StregaMagdalene1975 Because it does suck, Santo! Why...I mean...geez...did you not see yourself in these infomercials? You took a commercial, added the cheesiest of music, pro wrestling, B-movie horror, puke sci-fi, and sold junk jewelry throughout. You actually did telephone telemarketing of the crap. And in the infomercial, you spliced in a "Good message of the day" or something like that. Your infomercial, like your jewelry, left a stain on our brains. I'd prosecute you for that alone.

[cyrenafame]

anyone wanna guess how massive the pile of cocaine off-camera was?

[jfunk513]

apparently not as big as it was since it looks like "lee" the guy in red snorted it all

[destronia123]

WTF?!?

Is this some kind of going out of business sale? I remember the Santo Gold infomercials and always wondered who would ever buy that junk.

[Glaruf]

I tried to show this to my friends, but it is so bizzare that it just made everyone uncomfortable.

[BurningParadise]

To be honest, when I saw the name "Santo Gold" come up on my XM, I cranked it up, expecting to hear the shitty/awesome song from this infomercial. I was let down.

[barby04]

so this is the asshole that made santi change her stage name. what a dick. no one even knows who he is. santi's audience has no clue about him so idk why he had to take it up the ass like that.

[Ceeeeez]

First of all... "Santi" blows.

Second... it's called trademark infringement dumbass. Santo Gold was a cheap salesman but he INVENTED the name and the persona. Some talentless ho can't just use the name no matter what you think.

Why didn't she call herself "Sony" or "Mazda"? Because those brands would have sued her ass, too. Just because this guy is a sleeze doesn't mean he isn't entitled to the name he created and marketed.

You stupid little punks today have no goddamned clue about things!

[reivenlocke]

Well said!

[uofl2004]

"Why didn't she call herself "Sony" or "Mazda"?" Because people know what they are no one know who the fuck Santo Gold is

[StregaMagdalene1975]

.....also, as awful as stealing is, remember this concerns some idiot 80's con artist "Santo Gold", whom most don't remember or have even heard of, whose main career consisted of stealing tons of money from people (granted, very stupid people). Who would've known this shyster with the fake gold and dorky "Ric Ocasek-clone in a leisuresuit" would actually copyright his name?! So, Santigold goofed! We all do! You hate her music, so what? We all have different tastes. I've never heard he stuff....

[StregaMagdalene1975]

.....so I don't know how she is musically. I'm just distubed at your "'tude". Calling us "punks" and a female singer a "ho". You should have explaned your piece in a nicer, more adult, mature fashion. However, you've proven you're among "the stupid little punks who have no goddamned clue about things" because you believe in the "being mean is good" LIE....the same lie behind war, crime, bigotry. You're probably just a bitter young person who thinks "Yo! Da world owes me!" Nothing personal.....

[StregaMagdalene1975]

......nothing against you as a person. I'm sure you're probably a good person in real life, so don't flame me.....BUT EGADS.....can the attitude! Why the angry response?!! This is why everyone is giving you a "Thumbsdown"....if you explaned your point in a nice, respectful manner.....like a REAL ADULT.....and not some condesending, weak, inferior, incredibly stupid, raging, angry 13-year-old "hoodrat" we would be "Thumbs-Uping" you like crazy! Then again, you probably ARE Bob Harris & a TROLL!!!

[rsteag]

This guy is lame and we all hate him!

[pper79]

No wonder this guy sued Santi White (a.k.a. the Santogold who is actually talented!),because he's probably flipping burgers at Wendy's!

[attilagrasl]

what da fuk is this

[exidorsadoptedson]

yeah this dudes a total piece of shit

[kbuddha420]

yeah totally

[AnonShawi]

Or the best troll ever?

Santi had even admitted in an interview she had gotten the nickname from his infomercial :P

[GaryMuffins]

Is there any way you can upload more of this infomercial please?

[pengiswoof]

This guy is the reason the singer Santogold had to change her name (to Santigold). UGH.

[WhatsAYak]

This train wreck made the "honorable mention" section of David Hofstede's 2004 book "What Were They Thinking?", a look back @ TV's 100 dumbest moments...he concludes by mentioning Rigatuso's later jail time after failing to convince the judge he was mentally incompetent, then comments "Had the judge seen this infomerical, the verdict might have been different". :-D

[funlovingmonkey]

lol those guys are so gone

[Dablkwid0w2008]

That Nefertiti piece not even gold lol

[kbidtv02]

Wow, I am doing this for a living now but putting videos on youtube before the live show. Clearly, I am standing on the shoulders of this giant.

[Doggieman1111]

brings new meaning to the word 'shite'

[Sambucacat]

gold jewelry for $5?!?!?!? granted, fake gold.... blood circus blood circus blood circus blood circus..... man I wish I grew up in the 80s and in the states.

[Sambucacat]

8:00 Linda's a dude man!

[derekstellar]

Cocaine is a helluva drug!

[Oderus24]

Wow, truely, I'm speechless to see after verification that this guy was really real. I mean, wow..... Gotta give it up for the guy in the red suit though!

[Sambucacat]

2:30 Butch Willis... jumping up and down.

[nonconformalism]

He's trying to sue "Santogold", How dare he!

[stevenmor]

I remember these commercials on late night TV.  These were great. Thanks for posting this. I'd love to see more of these!!

[Blomquist23]

Seeing this early one morning before cartoons were some of the first steps in me becoming a very strange child. For the longest time I thought I'd dreamed it. Viva Santo!

[uncleroyhoggins]

I remember when these things use to come on all the time...usually early morning, or late night...silly shit...the 80's were kinda dumb...

[diplo1978]

wow .. santogold

[Drock131986]

All you truckers out there! Check this out!

A Genuine Leather wallet!

[crackhead2006]

That looks gen-you-wine to me! I'd be proud to own it.

[sparkles13]

That guy in the red suit is coked up out of his fricken gord! This is like if Jim Jones in the throes of his insanity had put on an infomercial.

[lakeviewviking]

the guy in the red suit is BUTCH WILLIS...do a search on him, and you'll realize that this clip is just the tip of the iceburg!

[sparkles13]

You're right! That Butch Willis is quite a find! And that throat guitar guy is the best! And I see from the interview I read that he probably is totally coked up in this vid!

[Glaruf]

See that blender box on the table that's written "Osterizer" on it? I have the exact same one. I'm not kidding.

By the way, the guy in the red suit is amazing.

[crackhead2006]

That guy in the red suit is a fucking champion.

[ManuelHung]

I agree...

[1oopbeatstalker]

they're like the family from the first two texas chainsaw movies

[brockdjwest]

BLOOD CIRCUS BLOOD CIRCUS BLOOD CIrcus blood circus blood circus...

wow, the 80s really sucked. I should know.

[muthahoho]

Come on, gimme just one more line! I promise ya nothin' less than pure enthusiasm out there tonight, Santo!

[DimplesOfIreland]

Excellent, excellent, excellent...whoever posted this...thank you SO much.

[Rebeccaac]

everyone involved in this production must've been on tons and tons of drugs

[eyencyst]

[davidrin]

[bgoubler]

[bgoubler]
