Back



A recording of the infamous frozen peas commercial involving Orson Welles. Struggling to fathom the copy he's being directed to read, he loses his patience and finally walks out.

It's the editing of this bit which makes it so great. Well timed and executed.

My friend gave me a cut of this on an audio tape when I was in HS, from a radio station. I later heard it on Negativland's 'Happy Heroes' off the track 'Jolly Green Giant' while in college. Funny stuff. If you like the cut here, support Negativland and listen to there remix.

I love Orson. People can say he's pompous all they want- when you're not only a great actor, but a great director and writer too, you have the right to your ego.

Then again, Orson was unprofessional. He's wasting time by being confrontational over minutiae. If he weren't a celebrity of such calibre, his butt would've been fired. However, Orson would leave a bad impression that may make those who worked with him think twice about hiring him again. Don't argue with the director and the script. Just try to make the best of it if you have nothing constructive to improve it. Don LaFontaine, R.I.P., would've taken this guy to school on professionalism.

Jeeze, I'd hate to have dealt with him filming a commercial.
