"Orson, it's good to see you again. How have things been?"
"Muaaaahaaa, The French!"
"He duzn do enethen?"
Know who's a pro? Those 2 actors sitting there with him not losing it ONCE at his "aaaaah" sound.
Actually, the woman was really struggling to keep it together...in the commercial, she doesn’t smile at all...different story here
That's because they've been there for what feels like days, and the real mark of their professionalism is that they haven't leaped over the table and broken the bottle over his head.
@@willdrucker4291 she does ok but man that guy is 10/10 poker face
I would’ve been fired for trying to get him treatment. I guess they didn’t have it then
"...he doesn't do anything?" Lmao I would have just been so star struck that I would have lost it.
I can only hope that my rock-bottom moment can bring millions of people such joy decades after my death.

Die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain
So true.
@@UnleashthePhury the fuck has that got to do with this xD
Thanks RUclips user Giggitygoo.
The way he sits and taps the bottle is like a wasted uncle tapping his nephew on the head, saying 'this boy will go places someday.'
S-tier comment
Hahahahahaha!!
AaaAAAaaah... the son of my sister. Known for his excellence...
The most accuracy you’ll ever get from an alcohol commercial
@GhostWitch Celebrated everywhere for its truthfulness
I am really convinced that he uses the product.
That's what I was thinking. He should've said "mwaa haaa, I just drank a whole bunch of this excellent wine," *points at bottle* and it would've been a perfect commercial.
He demanded they allow him to test it before promoting.
What does that even mean?🤦♂️

Idk this feels like a Dan post.

@Alicemudgarden90 this cut of the footage is great and all, but the thing about Orson clips is that *they're even better raw!*
@Alicemudgarden90 Naturally! He drank all the embalming fluid!
"Muaaaahhhh" -The French
Always celebrated for their excellence
Muwaaaaaaaaaaah the Frenshhhhhhh
This is my favourite comment on RUclips.
France to Germany in ww2.
Captain Emo Have you tried to be funny
I like to imagine the guy holding the bottle beforehand was like "By golly yeah this is gonna be my big break! I get to say I worked with Orson Welles!"
That enthusiasm drops real fuckin fast after about 5 seconds.
Yeah....my careers fucked now😂
You can see it on his face as well; at 0:15 he realizes that something's up, and at 0:28 he realizes that this isn't Orson Welles "the master", this is Orson Welles "the drunkard".
For the record, Orson Welles was not drunk in this. Instead, he had been filming all through the previous night (over 12 hours) and he had taken a sleeping pill to try and sleep on the way to the shoot, but it kicked in late.
Whether or not he had taken sleeping pills, he is very obviously drunk.
Source?
If true, likely Quaaludes 😮
Yep, he drunk. Y’all be coverin for him and everything.
Ya sure
This footage is so classic it needs to be scanned in 4K and released by Criterion.
Hell frickin yes it does!!
GREATEST! IDEA! EVER!
Last time I heard that name it was as a developer of burnout revenge.
Put it on 100K
We were SO CLOSE!
Orson, on the other hand, is fermented outside the bottle.
Hahaha you got me
Underrated comment of the century
I laughed at this way more than I should. x'D
"Fermented?" Thoroughly pickled, more like.
They should have told him: "You get to drink it AFTER you finish the commercial!"
The way he accidentally got drunk and still did this ad is so funny "maaaaahaaa" will forever be iconic😂
I'm about 90% certain that he intentionally got drunk.
@@jeremyhopkins577 I swear i saw a interview of something saying he accidentally got drunk
@@SleepyRue "Interview of something"
You're not even remotely sure what being was being interviewed?
He didn’t get drunk I hate misinformation
@@finnvalor1915IIrc he had taken sleeping pills to get rest on his way back from a shoot in vegas which only started to kick in when he arrived at the house where the shoot was. The director decided to take a few shots for insurance reasons after which Orson Welles took a nap in the houses guestroom. When he woke up 3 hours later he was able to pull off his lines and they finished the shot.
Even completely sloshed, Orson acted way more dignified than I ever could, even 100% sober.
The only accurate alcohol commercial I've ever seen.
Lol
lol every take he seems _genuinely_ surprised to see the champagne, as if taken aback by its very presence.
wouldn't you want more if you were in his hilarious position?
His acting skills are superb
I think he took a micro nap.
He's used to seeing empty bottles so having one that still has something to drink is such a delight to him. :)
paul mason is some of the cheapest champagne available, so if you're right it makes perfect sense
I love how he just vigorously points to the label after saying INSPIRED!
His little finger wiggle when hes uncomfortable keeps me coming back again and again
It makes me sad
Orson Welles the greatest EVER
@@a-nus
No need to be.
He attained a very high position and from there just pissed the rest of his life away, secure in his wealth.
"He doesn't do anything?"
Gets me every time.
I say that to myself at least 3 times a month
Angeline Productions I thought and think, he says 'just do anything?' Er no orson.
Angeline Productions I've seen this at least 20 times and I am dying laughing each time
Always heard it as "Just doing the thing"
I love how he's looking at him like action asshole
impressive that he memorized his lines despite being completely sloshed, as unintelligible as they were
He is looking somewhere to his rigth, so there might have been a teleprompter there
I'm more surprised John Ritter and that lady weren't cracking up. True actors.
Had to be cue cards XD
In the third take you can see he's squinting to read the cud cards hahaha
TheKirk15 Are you implying that he wasn't squinting at the cue card in the second take?
Imagine you're an aspiring actor, you get a tiny gig as a background extra in a wine commercial, and you hear that Orson Welles is gonna star in it. "Wow," you think. "I can't believe I get to witness one of the greatest actors of my generation! I can't wait to see how brilliant he is!"
And then you show up on set to witness this.
It's better than you could have possibly imagined.
Everyone gives due credit to “AHHHH THEFrenchchampain” but not enough love is given to the genuinely confused “It doesn’t do anything?”

0:56 mahaaaaa the french
Wilburgur fancy seeing you here Will
Wowee the french
mahaaaaa. I was in the liquor store the other day and saw some Paul Masson brandy and started going "mahaaaaa" to myself. It still has a brief description on the bottle that is very similar to the text Orson is reading despite it being a different product and multiple decades later.
Yes, I did buy it. Fall has come and that means it's brandy season!
The fuck you doin here
Autism cat doing research for a new Netflix special?
What the heck is the script anyway, “French champagne is good. This is not French. But it has a date on it.”
Yeah, this script needed sober Orson to give it the "Findus Frozen Peas" treatment.
"...and the guy who made it, he's been to France"
But Paul Masson was French
@@Bernillary the guy that made it was French
"Hey, you know how France makes the good shit? Well, now we got a French guy making good shit over here too. And we get to call it 'champagne' because it's the 80s and there's no law against that yet"
this video is a timeless masterpiece that should be preserved in a museum
Hang it in The Louvre.
This video holds up to repeated viewings really well.
The guy fiddling with the wine bottle should win some sort of prestigious award for not laughing
Hey, whaddabout the people miming and gesturing in the background?
He was probably too afraid that Orson would eat him if he made any sudden movements.
it's called "acting", d!ldo.
Orson Welles was a true professional in every take he never spit the wine out or let any of it go to waste!
Evidently.
Gotta crack open a new bottle for every take.
An Eduard Khil profile! :O
It’s champagne not wine.

@@rhurrrm same! Lol
i thought Vox was misquoting the muahaah part on the second take til i got to the third take and almost died lol
I see that Mr Welles had tasted the product.
Well he couldn't endorse it unless he knew that it was really good first. He had a reputation at stake.
Orson did say he never tried Paul Massons wine before thats why they never used him for another advert after this
hahaha fucking a lot of it!
Wow! How did you see that?
And clearly enjoyed it.
Lady "Wow, this wine has a really strong smell"
Man "I haven't opened it yet..."
Welles: "mwwwaaaaahaaaa."
@@makinbacongreasyagain968 LMFAO
Makin Bacon Greasy Again And fermented in a bottle of that same french excellence
You can tell it's a good champagne, Orson Welles has had three bottles of it this morning.
There's only a few firsts in life that stick with you. Watching the Orson Welles Paul Masson outtakes is one of them.
Proof of Welles' true genius. At least 70% proof.
Underrated comment right here… Up, up you go!
70 proof is 35% :)
@@makinbacongreasyagain968 - your comment threw me off for a second, and then I saw what you meant. So, then I thought, just for fun, what would "70% proof" translate to. Would it mean "0.70 proof"? In that case, the drink would only be 0.35% percent alcohol by volume.
@@makinbacongreasyagain968 - I'd go to that place --- often. ;-)
Percent or proof. Choose one.

"Grandpa! Grandpa! Tell us about the time you fought in the Hundred Years War!"

That sent me into a laughing fit.
omg, that made me laugh SO hard! XD i am lauging AS i am writing this! XD
If that was official, that would be HANDS DOWN the best fucking commercial for an alcohol, I've ever seen. Seriously.
Your god damn right
wish commercials used bloopers as commercials
*"THIS SH!T GETS YOU F*CKED UP!!!"*
Paul Masson: It fucks you right up.
"We have a prop bottle for the shoot. Why did you give him one with actual wine in it?!"
_"We didn't."_
"..."
Would have never known abt this video without IKE EVELAND mentioning abt it👍💜
I think about this a lot. Imagine being one of the actors working with Orson Welles - saying to your partner the night before shooting 'I'm going to be working with Orson Welles tomorrow. THE Orson Welles. I can't wait' and then just turning up to... that.
@@nemo-x ikr, my first thought would
Be “damn I need me a bottle of that”
“Darling, he was everything I expected-and more!”
Poor Orson (and his career) aged very badly in the TV era. He was grey and obese by 1960 and a flat broke alcoholic by 1977, which is when he started doing ads for wine, peas and fish patties. He also did a bunch of voiceovers for the band Manowar despite hating the music. It was not a good time for him or his legacy.
He has the look of a man who is the only one in the room who knows he's shat his odor-proof pants
A lot of people said the same thing about Marlon Brando. It was an entire generation of actors who peaked way too early, but while Brando was resurrected in the 70s, Welles flatlined into obscurity. It’s an unglamorous end for such a powerhouse of charm and talent, but Welles either had no desire for a career revival, or his ego scared off producers. I wish he’d directed an all-time great at the end of his life. It would’ve bookended his career in a suitably cinematic way.
If I had made the greatest film ever and later reduced to doing commercials for the money, you're goddamn right I'd be drunk.
+BeefyLevinson ha ha well look at all the ads nowadays. All the high profile celebs are doing them.
+BeefyLevinson He was doing commercials, most likely because he was a drunk.
+BeefyLevinson Nah, he did it for free wine, he was still rich as all hell
+Michael Clifford Well actually he wasn't "rich as all hell." He did all those crappy ads, voice-overs, cameos, Dean Martin roasts etc. to finance his movie projects. Nobody else would finance them for him. He had like five or six movies at various points of completion when he died. Plus he liked to get drunk.

Found this right before Game Grumps led me back to it. Legit can’t breath.
0:38 He taps the bottle with his finger like a drunken uncle pats his nephew on the head.
Alabama
Then in the next take, he tickles it like a cat he’s just met.
And after that he taps the glass like “Ey, c’mon, top me off, lessgo.”
I come back every once in a while just to read this comment tbh
After 0:54 the extra to the left flinched as soon as Orson nonchalantly slurs "mwahaaa the frensh...". She is trying very goddamn hard to keep a straight face. That's a professional right there.
I noticed that too! How could you not fall off your chair!!! LOL
"I can't believe I just blew this guy..."
Nope. A real professional wouldn't have made it obvious they were holding back laughter. These are amateur actors.

This only gets more hilarious the more you watch it.
“He doesn’t do anything?”
“No Orson, well, I mean, he oddly holds the parts of the cork and then touches the glass like he’s going to pour it but then just doesn’t. Yeah I know it’s bad directing… but hey, I’m cheap”
And this was the genius who directed Citizen Kane.
I tell ya, all those decades after Kane, the man didn't get no respect.
It's funny and sad. His slurred speech was hilarious but the fact that he was reduced to promoting a wine he never drank is sad.
@Sorry Not Sorry Did you see the clip he defiantly drank the wine :P
Thomas Mason Well, he definitely drank something. But, I thought he was fired from Paul Mason because he went on a talk show and said he had never drank this brand of sparkling wine.
Sorry Not Sorry If memory serves, Welles said the wine was awful and the crowd of "guests" he's shown consorting with were the sort of people Robert Young would have over for drinks.
0:56 when you're in French class halfway sleeping and suddenly the teacher calls you out
He sure is celebrating the french champagne for its excellence.
Keep it high and tight Orson Wells
He definitely tried the wares before speaking up for them.

+Matt Rouge It's good to get to know the product you're selling - but not too well in the case of booze...

Verily, it is so.
+Matt Rouge Ofcourse. How else would he know that it was fermented in the bottle lol
"He doesn't do anything?"
The cry of a man who, up to that point, was no doubt bring poured a fresh glass of champagne at the *start* of every take before then!
This is possibly the best thing I've been recommended in a while.
Anytime I’m sad with BS in my life this clip is here to remind of the joys in life!
The taste of French champagne has always been celebrated for its excellence. There's a California champagne by Paul Masson, inspired by that same French excellence. It's fermented in the bottle, and like the best French champagne, it's vintage dated. Paul Masson's superb taste shouldn't be too surprising: This champagne may not come from France - but it was created by a man who did: Paul Masson. Paul Masson will sell no wine before its time.
Thanks for the accurate translation lol
It can't be Champagne.then. It isn't from Champagne in France.

RUclips really recommended this weeks after I tried desperately to find this clip cause of Vox
Those side actors deserve both an Oscar, a golden globe, and a grammy because how the hell did they not burst out laughing at "muaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh"
My favorite part about this is the veiled look of panic on the face of the other two actors, that expression when you're not sure if someone is choking or otherwise needs emergency attention, that moment before you call the paramedics and triage a dying person.
@Max William Lauf - maybe the other actors were told that Orson flies into a rage if anyone asks if he's "okay." (That's my theory, anyway.)
The girl looks like she's cracking up each time - and then you hear the annoyed director!
Orson Welle's "Muuhaaaa, the french" and "A SUCCULENT CHINESE MEAL" are vintage gold.
My brothers and I were watching the old Adam West Batman, and we somehow got to talking about old radio and tv, and this came to me like a vision mid-sentence. I then spent a good 7 minutes trying to think of Orson Welles’ name, and finally remembered because he was the Hollywood producer in the first muppet movie. Then I spent another 3 minutes or so trying to find this video, and this is all going a long ways to say that I love this video almost as much as John Madden moon base alpha and big bill hells cars.
0:56 That woman is doing everything in her power not to laugh
00:55 his ability to assume character on command is mesmerising.

00:25 Sounds like he's awakening from a nightmare...
The champagne is spooky!
AAAH
Uuuuh spooky Champagner
I really feel for the director. During the first take, he seems so genuinely pleased with filming the commercial. Nevermind that it's some champagne commercial or whatever, he's on set with Orson Welles, the guy behind Citizen Kane and a myriad of great radio theatre. You can hear the smile in his voice. Then he notices nothing is happening and very carefully reminds Orson that it's his time to start. There's confusion, but he proceeds to clear it up and apologizes when he asks them to cut. Then the second take starts and you hear how absolutely sloshed Orson, slurring and barely making his way through his line with his eyes wandering. Not even trying, really. You can hear how when the director says "cut", he realizes the situation he finds himself in and is immediately disheartened. The next "cut", he doesn't even bother to wait until Orson himself pauses, he's noticeably annoyed. Any cheer he could have gotten from working with a film and radio legend is gone, it went from a day where he'd get a story he'd probably share with everyone he knew for the rest of his life, to a day he merely was forced to direct a drunk. Imagine being told you're going to meet a hero of yours, a legend in your field of work, and somehow they show up incredibly drunk *and* hungover. Talk about rough.
Yes, but after some time, when the director is not that invested or frustrated, he has a way better story to share. The bloopers made an otherwise forgettable add of the 70s featuring an actor that was well past his prime at the time, to one genuinely funny montage being seen 50 years later (that's more than most films can ever brag about)
@@rofsrer well put.
This calls for champagne! Aaaaaaaaah!!
Never meet your idols
“Never meet your heroes.”
imagine crying on your pillow because your idol is drunk.. like how's that your business? there's nothing vile about drinking, yes orson was a heavy drinker, and that could be a source of sadness for his fans, but orson still had a relative long life, maybe not completely happy, maybe not completely complete like many of his movies, but still a life that i bet gave him lots of fun, i don't think orson would want people to weep over his final years, weep for all the shit hollywood did to him when he was very much young, that's probably what bothered him the most
The final product actually turned out pretty good.
What a beautiful voice he had
Telling the Director of one of the greatest movies ever to cut is really brave.
"All great orators roar before commencing their speeches. It is the way of things."
"Why Mr. Welles, your nipples look like they have been attached to a pair of charging elephants!"

"Ah the French!"
By declaring “cut!” the director of this commercial is an enemy of humanity. What unseen wonders of Welles’ sloshedness did we miss?
Orson's the key to all of this. He's a funnier character than we've ever had before.
I KNOW WHAT THAT IS!
