Indeed it does, Mr. Mason. Indeed it does, LOL.
Redd Foxx (aka Fred Sanford) used to give free publicity for Ripple. I wouldn’t have expected different from him, though.
“Hwat’s the wehhrd?”
Full of country goodness and green peaness
apparently American actors do foreign ads like this all the time.
No worse than McConahey slutting for Lincoln
I mean really .....did his lovely wife tell him to plan ahead or something
This is nothing to be embarrassed about compared to his (and the rest of the cast’s) “Heaven Can Wait†performance.
“What’s the price?”
“30 twice”
Have seen this before. It really is gut busting funny, equal to or better than any of the SNL parody commercials, especially since it was done in all seriousness. Mr. Mason must have been extremely hard up for money (alimony settlement?) vis the “I can’t believe I’ve sunk this low” expression on his face. There are echoes in Welles’ Gallo commercials and Bill Murray’s Japanese whiskey commercial gig in “Lost in Translation”.
“Thunderbird are *hic* go !”
(sincerest apologies to the late Mr. Mason)
Thunderbird,
Really nice!
What's the price?
Fifty twice!
Mmmmmmm....
Taste like cheap grape juice with cheap vodka, the stuff of great hangovers.
The great thing about Thunderbird is that not only can you drink it, but you can use it to remove enamel paint, clean grease off engine parts, and eradicate swimming pool algae. You can spray it on your tree and watch those aphids fall off the leaves screaming in little smoking death spirals. Toenail fungus? Not a problem. Topical application to treat anal warts. This stuff is dynamite!
