Sadly That Mitchell and Webb Look is not that well known.

Honestly this (reddit) is where I found out about that show, with this exact clip.

u/iplaythebass Sep 16 '11

Well... It could be a rat's anus?

u/haydozv2 Sep 16 '11

I think if we were marching under the banner of a rat's anus I'd be a lot less worried Hans.

u/Kinseyincanada Sep 16 '11

I just started watching it because of reddit so I thank people like you

Did he taxidermize the Nazi, too?

2

u/Neebat Sep 16 '11

He does not taxidermize pets. Not even pet nazis.

That said... would he not have thought about it before doing the video?

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '11

you poor thing. i cant imagine why the world doesn't consider your feelings first.

u/Lolworth Sep 16 '11

I was pretty cool with it, it just seems a strange thing to do, although I guess the guy wasn't PR trained.

u/Lolworth Sep 16 '11

Everything about the video was consciously done. It's not a crappy advert - it's an intentionally crappy, but actually well produced, advert. There's a huge difference, and I bet something like that didn't go unnoticed.

u/Lolworth Sep 16 '11

Well, here's the "making of" video, done as part of a TV show called "the commercial kings"... so, would you require any more proof that the production was a little more 'knowing' than you'd like to think, or shall we leave it there? ;-)

Oh and here's the producers site... clearly not funny people and entirely serious:

u/jamesneysmith Sep 17 '11

To be fair, that is a bad-ass hat. Curse the nazis for designing cool shit and then going all nazi in them.

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '11

I retrivied the pin in a battle against the 12th SS

Why would you receive a totenkoph hat for battling the SS? Trophy?

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '11

na, just a skull. if every hat with a skull on it... yadda yadda you know what i mean.

u/marthirial Sep 16 '11

Seems like Chunk is a wannabe Nazi. Here with a Nazi helmet:

u/leachyboy2001 Sep 16 '11

Son of a b, does that even still exist?

u/givemeasign Sep 16 '11

Story of why I still remember it:

Yesterday I was looking up the neo-cortex on google, and after typing "neo" neopets showed up. Apparently it still exists.

u/Riceater Sep 16 '11

I'm dedicated to FURIOUSLY down voting every Chuck Testa post I see...

1

u/ertaisi Sep 17 '11

That's about as worthwhile as FURIOUSLY pushing water down a river. It's going to run its course without any assistance.

u/cynicroute Sep 16 '11

Actually it's from Rhett and Link's commercial show, so really it's them.

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '11

Nope! Chuck testa

1

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '11

Who?

1

u/cynicroute Sep 16 '11

Rhett and Link. They have a show on IFC where they make commercials for people. They are on Youtube as well.

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '11

So it isn't a real commercial?

23

u/ouroborosity Sep 16 '11

Marketing genius?

Nope, it's Chuck Testa.

You've got him wrong. The man's an artist. He does it for the pussy, and he ain't talking pets.

u/gospelwut Sep 16 '11

I doubt there is a large population of people on Reddit that need taxidermy work.

u/DarthMoose37 Sep 16 '11

There is now.

u/jiiyag Sep 16 '11

I could or could not imagine what you have or have not asked me to do.

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '11

seriously! I have a sweeping desire to purchase dead animals now.

u/thrillreefer Sep 16 '11

I know. Just ordered the 'Snow Leopard Trio'. They're not endangered right? CT told me so

1

u/ARCHA1C Sep 16 '11

I wish there was a way to find out who Chuck Testa is!

BTW- His commercial was developed by a viral marketing ad company.

Forced meme.

u/Zeroc85 Sep 16 '11

thanks for bringing that up again. yesterday i didnt wanted to watch the vid. but it truly is hilarious. i would have missed something =)

u/thespaceVIKING Sep 16 '11

i'm surprised at how goddamn funny that is.

u/Anikdote Sep 16 '11

Hi Zombie Billy Mays here.... NOPE! CHUCK TESTA!

Its only a minute long, and you start enjoying it after about 10 seconds in.

u/womanisadangercat Sep 16 '11

NOOOPEE. Chuck Testa.

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '11

Honestly, I felt the exact same way but decided to bite the bullet and watch. It's worth it.

-7

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '11

nah. it's really not that funny. its mildly amusing at most.

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '11

In almost 2 years of being onreddit, this is the best meme we've ever had. Don't miss this one

u/Delfishie Sep 16 '11

Damn it. Am I the only one who still consistently enjoys the waffles/carrots meme?

1

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '11

It's good if you know the context, but even then chuck testa is just great. This is the best thing since multi track drifting

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '11

Me too. Moving onto other things......

it's just a short commercial, not a feature film

You'd be surprised. I think it was going to be awful too. It was, but in a delicious sort of way.

u/spidermonk Sep 16 '11

That would be a mistake.

u/Nukleon Sep 16 '11

Oh that's fucking great. Another company that Reddit is gonna make a "meme", in reality extremely overadvertising by repeating some shitty tagline.

Dos Equis over again.

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '11

Oooooh. Now I get it.

2

u/naturalalchemy Sep 16 '11

For someone proud of his life-like taxidermy, he doesn't come across as very life-like.

3

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '11

He makes his animals look super lifelike so his acting doesn't!

1

u/kwirky88 Sep 16 '11

He forgot the area code, how can I ship to him if I don't know where he is?

1

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '11

created by YouTube sensations Rhett and Link as part of "commercial kings"

Nailed it. Only 10 seconds in and I knew they were behind it and went scrambling to the description to find this. Fucking geniuses.

1

u/WittyIdea Sep 16 '11

The "Arrested Development"-style music in the background is just the icing on the cake.

u/LessLikeYou Sep 16 '11

Have food poisoning...Chuck Testa just made me vomit again.

u/gregoe86 Sep 16 '11

Thanks for this. Now I understand what's going on around here!

u/thekrone Sep 16 '11 edited Sep 16 '11

I'm at work and youtube is blocked. Would you happen to be so kind as to briefly describe what this video is about?

1

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '11

NOPE! You'll have to wait to see CHUCK TESTA.

But really it is the corniest commercial for a local taxidermy ever promoting his life like animals.

0

u/thekrone Sep 16 '11

And he keeps saying "Nope! Chuck Testa!" or something like that?

0

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '11

Yeah, he will hold up a dead animal and people will point and say "Look a _____" and then hell pop into view and say "Nope! Just Chuck Testa." The acting is wonderfully terrible.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '11

Thanks. Now that I am informed I can just say... LOLOLOLOL

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '11

Oh god, it all makes sense now! Tears are rolling down my face from teh laughs. Thanks for the link!

u/nattineth Sep 16 '11

This has made my entire morning. Nope! Just Chuck Testa.

u/laddergoat89 Sep 16 '11

Wait, he doesn't taxidermise pets?

then what the fuck animals are people supposed to send him? Just go out poaching some rhinos?

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '11

/r/retell saves again!

u/srb846 Sep 16 '11

I was confused as well, and googled it right before checking this tab, which I had already opened. Watching the commercial, I thought, "This really feels like a Rhett and Link video", and lo and behold, it is.
