Do Me a Kindness...

I remember sitting in Grandma Judy's living room about 3 years ago, laughing hystericallyat this short video clip that Uncle Tony had shown us. After I got back home, I searched the video on the internet and then posted it on my Facebook page. After I had posted the video, I never really heard anything else about the hilarious clip until this past summer. Everybody was re-posting it on Facebook and my brother kept asking "HEY, HAVE YOU SEEN THIS?!" every time I saw him.

I'm talking about the clip (brought to fame by YouTube) known as "Winnebago Man," "The Angriest Man in the World," and "The Angry RV Salesman." It’s a compilation of the outtakes from a Winnebago RV commercial shoot.

Why do I care about it so much? Well, besides the hilarity of it, my Uncle Tony helped with the commercial filming back in 1988, and he's actually in the clip a couple of times.

Note: Forest City, my hometown, is where Winnebago motorhomes are made – for those of you (mostly the readers from CO!) who maybe weren’t aware.

Anywho, Winnebago Man is now a documentary and again, Uncle Tony is in the movie! I still get all excited when I see the interview with him or when other people are talking about him. In the ‘Features’ section of the DVD, they have the Winnebago Man premier in New York City and after the viewing, one man asks Jack Rebney if he’s seen Tony or anyone from the filming since (or something along those lines!). “TONY, THAT’S MY UNCLE!!” Haha, I’m so proud ;)

Congrats (I think?!) Uncle Tony, who knew it would turn into something this big!

Now, everybody go check it out! Winnebago Man (The video on the main page is the trailor and if you go to "About" it will have the original clip from YouTube)

WARNING: I would advise turning the volume down and not viewing in front of the little ones :)
