AND A THIRD FOR THURSDAY - FAIL

Happy Thursday! You know what that means - I'm mailing it in by posting a video I've swiped from somewhere else and trying to offer my own Boneheaded insight into it.

This weeks theme is Fail - actually for me, most every week the theme is fail - so this week I'm really cheesing out.

Here's legendary director Orson Welles trying to do a Paul Masson wine commercial.  Judging from his high level of intoxication and his enormous girth, he's probably consumed a small vineyard prior to filming this commercial.


Funny thing is - I remember this commercial (without the slurring) airing when I was a kid - and the high end classy image the wine was trying to project.  As I got a little older and learned that Paul Masson wines were basically all swill that tasted like fat ass Orson had stomped the damn grapes himself, I wasn't too surprised when I first came across these outtakes.

Check out the couple sitting with the gi-normous Welles - holding their place in obvious fear that if they were to snicker or complain ol' Orson would swallow them whole. 

Rosebud indeed.
