The Winnebago Man Takes Hollywood In New Documentary
Who is he? I'm shocked. I can't imagine anyone in their right mind hasn't seen the Winnebago Man. He's a legend in his own time. If any of you have ever been in front of a camera you know that it can be extremely stressful to get your lines right. Further more, if you've ever been in front of a camera whilst being the writer, director, and perhaps producer I guarantee you that learning your lines is the last thing you'd get down before shoot day. Mix that with the most explosive, self-deprecating, frustrated stooge and you get The Winnebago Man.
Watching this bald, mustached man flying off the hinge and expressing every kind of profanity known to man is guaranteed to make you feel better about yourself. Faced with at least a full day of shooting a promotional video for various Winnebago models The Man just can't seem to get his lines to work, his mind to work, and mother nature herself to work. Everything from forgetting his lines, to narrowly falling off the Winne, to being swarmed by a blood thirsty cloud of flies; he is the premiere example of losing your shit on camera. While undoubtedly most everyone has seen this outrageous train-wreck on screen I can assure you that 50% of you are now asking yourself "Why didn't I think of that?" when you saw the trailer for the feature documentary on The Man himself. Admit it, you would go out of your way on your lunch break just to talk to this guy for five minutes. Well, here it is, and I have a feeling that with him we'll be picking it up right where the video left off: mean, crotchety, and hilarious.
