Even though I'm a newb here, I wanted to pass along one of my favorite
clips of all time. Being an actor & voice talent, I can appreciate this guy. I
think I've worked with this guy, and I'm sure some of you have as well.

Oh my.... :shock:
I do believe that if he had to speak without using expletives....
He'd be speechless. :wink: |

The Winnebago Man is probably ruing the day he ever agreed to film anything!
I wonder sometimes if some of my producers keep my outtakes.

Obviously quite the intellect... when words fail you, revert to 4 letters and single syllables... it's quite apparent that words fail him often. I'd hate to see how he talks around his Mother.
Happy holidays.... I guess. :oops:

Did you notice how he spoke to his crew? I like the fact that the crew disliked
him enough to compile a tape of his antics. |

Jeepers! I'm glad I don't have to LIVE with him!
Feel sorry for his wife, if he has one...
Can you imagine if you even forgot to put sugar in his tea? |

The guy seems familiar to me, too. Treat your crew badly, and ya just might wind up on a blooper reel for all to see and hear.

The guy isn't a VO Pro, so "repeat business" isn't soemthing he needs to be concerned with. General hirability IS.
I found this letter, purporting to be from the Winnebago Comapny:

The videotape you referred to, which unfortunately ended up on the
internet, features one of our former employees. It is approximately 10-15 years
old.
This gentlemen didn't work for us long.

The phone number seems legit, so I think this letter is, too.

| My favorite part of the video is when a crew member threw a towel at him. Mr. W. should have taken the hint...time to "throw in the towel" on his performance (or lack of.) |

| I am surprised the crew didn't deck him. I am sure they were too professional for that. |

I'd like to go on record as saying that I was unaware when I signed the release during filming that it allowed them to use or keep outtakes.
Further it was a very hot day and there was no AC in those f-ing campers.
Lastly, that sonofab---- Tony kept getting in my sightline and distracting me...that stupid a-hole!
Today, things are better here in the shady acres sanitarium. My dog has recovered nicely now that I don't kick him when I get home every night...my wife has remarried a yoga instructor (once she saw me kick the dog, she thought she might be next so she skedaddled).
My blood pressure is down significantly since I've been taking my blue candy once every four hours.
Thank you for asking.
Sincerely,
The bald guy with the mustache
